Stratospheric aerosol injection tactics and costs in the first 15 years of deployment

Abstract
We review the capabilities and costs of various lofting methods intended to deliver sulfates into the lower stratosphere. We lay out a future solar geoengineering deployment scenario of halving the increase in anthropogenic radiative forcing beginning 15 years hence, by deploying material to altitudes as high as ∼20 km. After surveying an exhaustive list of potential deployment techniques, we settle upon an aircraft-based delivery system. Unlike the one prior comprehensive study on the topic (McClellan et al 2012 Environ. Res. Lett. 7 034019), we conclude that no existing aircraft design—even with extensive modifications—can reasonably fulfill this mission. However, we also conclude that developing a new, purpose-built high-altitude tanker with substantial payload capabilities would neither be technologically difficult nor prohibitively expensive. We calculate early-year costs of ∼$1500 ton−1 of material deployed, resulting in average costs of ∼$2.25 billion yr−1 over the first 15 years of deployment. We further calculate the number of flights at ∼4000 in year one, linearly increasing by ∼4000 yr−1. We conclude by arguing that, while cheap, such an aircraft-based program would unlikely be a secret, given the need for thousands of flights annually by airliner-sized aircraft operating from an international array of bases.

Is The State Department Really Building "Freedom Tech"?

The Bitcoin Policy Institute (BPI) announced last week that it is joining defense contractors Palantir and Anduril Technologies, as well as the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation, as founding members of the US State Department's newly created "Freedom Tech Excellence Program," an initiative to advance "digital freedom and freedom of expression globally."

My Response To The Rise Of Darknet Slop Projects
10 August 2026
By Yuzuki
Given the recent discussions around AI and the involvement of AI in the development of community projects within our space, I want to take a little time to provide my own assessment of the situation. This is coming not just from a developer, but from a person who had to wear multiple hats throughout their career and possesses expertise in different industries, fields, and disciplines.

As we all know, there is a surge in projects and services on the internet — including in our own space. These projects are characterized by being simplistic, truncated, insecure, generic, and ephemeral. It's obvious they were developed virtually entirely by AI without much consideration for anything and everything around the software itself, while the "creators" claim to have built these projects themselves. The majority of these projects can be regarded as slop due to the aforementioned characteristics and the neglecting of other very important elements. All of these are low hanging fruit — simple problems that are solved by overly complex and complicated solutions. They aren't elegant; they are unrefined, unpolished, grotesque, and imposing. The elegance lies not with the visual aesthetics or solution itself, but in the simplifying of the underlying complexity and the nature of the intent.

Effective solutions are not solely comprised of a product, but the product is part of the solution, which is intended to solve specified problems. In order to do so, you must first understand the problem you are solving, acquire the necessary expertise, knowledge, and means to solve it, and define the use case accurately by understanding the needs of the end–user. Products may be made by machines, but they are not intended for machines — they are designed and built for humans. This is the precise element which is completely left out of the equation....
