A | PEARL HARBOR, Hawaii -- The military next week plans to begin draining fuel from World War II-era underground fuel tanks in Hawaii, nearly two years after the massive facility sickened 6,000 people when it leaked jet fuel into a Pearl Harbor drinking water well.Removing the fuel is a key step toward shutting down the Red Hill Bulk Fuel Storage Facility as demanded by the state of Hawaii. The November 2021 spill poisoned the Navy's water system serving 93,000 people in and around Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam. The leak continues to threaten an aquifer used by Honolulu's municipal water utility to serve 400,000 people on Oahu.“I want the community to know that my team and I understand the enormity and the significance of this mission,” Vice Admiral John Wade, the commander of Joint Task Force-Red Hill, said at a news conference.Work to drain the 104 million gallons (394 million liters) remaining in the tanks was scheduled to begin on Monday. Each tank is 250 feet (76 meters) tall and 100 feet (30 meters) wide. Gravity will feed fuel into fuel lines connected to the lower part of the tanks. The fuel will then flow downhill through pipelines for 3 miles (4.8 kilometers) to a tanker ship waiting at Pearl Harbor pier. It will take more than two days to fill each tanker. Wade said it would take three months to remove 99.9% of the fuel. Then, work will begin to remove a residual amount of an estimated 60,000 to 70,000 gallons that will have accumulated in low-point drains and bends. That work is expected to be finished in the spring. The moment is bittersweet for Lacey Quintero, whose Navy family was among the thousands who suffered health problems after drinking contaminated water in 2021. She's happy the fuel is being removed but the operation has stirred memories as the two-year anniversary of the spill approaches. “The timing of it, coupled with the dangers that are present during defueling — there’s fear,” she said. She's concerned that more fuel could spill into the Navy's drinking water well and poison the aquifer. She's also worried about possible explosions. Quintero and her husband, who is in the Navy, and their two children moved to Hawaii in November 2021 from California. They fell sick soon after moving. Her youngest, who was then 3 years old, vomited uncontrollably. The entire family complained of diarrhea and itchy skin. Quintero's arms and legs went numb and she struggled with chronic fatigue. Her husband is still stationed in Hawaii but they have moved to private housing off base which uses Honolulu municipal water. Yet she still suffers from stomach pains, migraines and skin issues. She has PTSD.“I have flashbacks of feeding my daughter this poison soup and watching her vomit it up,” she said.Quintero is one of 6,750 claimants seeking compensation from the U.S. government for what they experienced. Their attorney, Kristina Baehr, said claims for the first group of six plaintiffs were due to go trial in March. The state of Hawaii ordered the military to drain the tanks after the 2021 spill, saying they posed an imminent threat to the aquifer underneath. The Department of Defense challenged that order in court, but eventually acquiesced. It's spent the past year repairing the tanks and pipes so the fuel can be safely removed without additional leaks. For years the military said the tanks were vital to national security and resisted calls to close the facility or to move it. Military officials repeatedly reassured the public that Oahu's water was safe — even though the tanks had a history of leaks.The spill upset a broad cross-spectrum of Hawaii, and precipitated a crisis for the military in the islands. Many Native Hawaiians have been angered given the centrality of water in Hawaii’s Indigenous traditions.A Navy investigation pinned the cause of the spill on a series of mistakes. First, operator error caused a pipe to rupture on May 6, 2021, when fuel was being transferred between tanks. This caused 21,000 gallons (80,000 liters) of fuel to spill. Most of it flowed into a fire suppression line and sat there for six months, causing the line to sag.Then on Nov. 20, a cart rammed into the sagging line, releasing 20,000 gallons (75,700 liters.) A team thought they recovered all of this fuel, but they missed about 5,000 gallons (19,000 liters) which flowed into a French drain and from there into the drinking water well.The Navy reprimanded three now-retired military officers for their roles in the spill but didn't fire nor suspend anybody.。 作者|陈伊凡 头图|AI生成 一家顶尖的 AI 原生公司该有怎样的基因?一位卓越的年轻 AI 领军者又该具备哪些核心能力? 在《最有潜力的 30 岁以下 AI 领军者・Top20》榜单报名收官之日,我们与多位评委深度对话,梳理出他们眼中年轻一代AI 创业者的关键评价维度。

B | “动手能力” 是所有评委的共识性首选项。

C | 作为伴随 AI 技术成长的原生一代,许多年轻创业者在 ChatGPT 问世后,就自主开发出首个小程序。云启资本投资人陈昱直言:“有了 Idea 只是开始,更关键的是写出第一行代码、跑通第一个 Demo。

D | ” 天际资本创始合伙人张倩进一步指出,当前 AI 创业门槛显著提升,核心就在于技术应用能力。“如今做 AI 创业,创始团队必须掌握‘用 AI 开发可用产品’的核心能力。这里的‘会用 AI’,绝非简单了解技术概念,而是能将技术转化为可落地的实际产品 —— 这是入门必备条件,也直接拉高了行业准入标准。” 另一个是用户敏感度,即能感知真实用户需求,哪怕是最细微的变化。这对于年轻创业者而言,是挑战也是机遇。挑战在于,相比于更有经验的创业者,年轻创业者可能缺少一些行业经验,“他们需要更加贴近客户”。不过在用户敏感度上,年轻创业者也更有机会,有投资人认为,他们更加有“品味”,能够做出更懂年轻用户的产品。 这确实是这届年轻创业者的机会,我们看到许多如今市面上优秀的AI原生的应用,都来自00后的创始人,例如AI原生的会议产品Cluley,还有AI招聘产品Mercor。 第三个指标是开放心态,AI是全球性浪潮。甚至许多AI创业者从创业起步第一天起,就是瞄准出海做产品,一位投资人解释,这个趋势的原因是,国内的C端用户付费意愿和付费能力较弱,国内的企业用户,对于AI产品普遍要求私有化部署,和上一个Saas时代一样,很难有爆发式增长。云启资本投资人陈昱表示,他最欣赏的创业者特质是聪明、诚实、有野心。 一位深耕硅谷的投资人表示,很多AI出海的创业者需要足够了解,例如英语够好,了解国外人的生活习惯等。 第四是速度,张倩说,一个无法快速迭代、展示成果的团队,很可能会错失最佳的发展时机,无法满足市场快速变化的需求。AI2.0时期的技术商业千变万化,只要有一波浪潮没有跟上,可能后面就被淘汰。很多创业公司都是以月甚至是周为单位迭代产品。也有很多创业公司,他们的产品可能已经迭代了多次,甚至不是最初的样子。 还有一位投资人曾经告诉,他认为AI2.0时代的创业者,要有一种“邪教”般的思维,这个意思是,一个强大的“粉丝”生态,强大的用户粘性,除了做产品,创始人需要懂得如何经营用户社区和生态,很多AI产品,在冷启动之后,因为没有持续根据用户需求迭代产品,最后导致了用户流失。“AI起来之后,很多人都失业了,留下的是有审美能力的人。”这位投资人说。 另一个更重要的是,是否在持续生长的用户生态上,快速形成数据飞轮,沉淀数据,构筑自己的护城河。 云启资本合伙人陈昱表示,对于一家好的AI原生公司,他会看三个维度,第一是技术的原生性,即是否基于AI的最新能力,而不是简单把AI当成插件;产品打磨力,即能不能把复杂的技术转化成用户自然体验;团队适应力,在高速迭代中能否保持韧性和调整节奏。 目前,《最有潜力的 30 岁以下 AI 领军者・TOP20》榜单报名已正式截止,最终 20 位领军者名单将在后续揭晓,敬请期待! 我们不仅发布榜单,更解读趋势背后的趋势与逻辑,快来2025F&M创新节现场链接核心人脉与稀缺资源,与顶尖创新者同行! 早鸟票限量发售中,立即锁定席位~ 文章标题:一线资本拆解30岁以下AI领军者通关密码 文章链接:https://www.huxiu.com/article/4794796.html 阅读原文:一线资本拆解30岁以下AI领军者通关密码_网。
