I designed a 1m wingspan flying wing drone that prints in a single print on a Form 4L in only a few pieces. Just add electronics. No servo horns outside for a very sleek design. Doesn't fly amazing yet. Needs a v2.

eVTOL grifters have moved on to humanoids even before their previous companies have failed. Lots of great hardware companies that won't get funded because they soak up a lot of money, over promise and underdeliver. (Lots of great opportunities in robotics and electric aircraft.

Perfectly captures something strange/broken about LLMs: they take more computation to produce longer output, while humans often take more computation to produce shorter output.

I guess that puts 3D printing somewhere around Insane -- congrats Formlings, for making it this far in the game. @formlabs.

Who is the most successful VC in hardware companies? Someone who invested in many companies with multiple wins? . Success = company that got to significant revenue, gross profit, and still exists in some form today.

In SF for @OpenSauceLive and meeting awesome hardware startups/customers. Who wants to meet up and talk hardware?.

Even stranger when you see that it's not far from perfectly projected through the earth from one side to the other. (This is an antipodal map of the Earth)

RT @emm0sh: text to cad is insufficient because even the best engineers need a whiteboard to convey intent to each other accurately.

If US federal deficit spending of ~6% GDP was lowered to 0, could inflation stay low with near 0 interest rates for extended periods? We'd get ZIRP, but only the good parts. .

3D printed high temperature "spacesuit" for a camera - so you can put it in an oven and film your brownies baking. Link below.

The promise of 3D printing is to remove the skill and leave judgement.

We agree.
