If you’re questioning what comes next, or frustrated that your ambition surpasses your ability, this
It's a superpower to be interested in important things that most other people find boring. They'll do them out of duty, if they do them at all. So if you do them out of genuine interest, you'll get a lot further.

That logic feels pretty easy to follow...
Hotter temperatures dry out the plants that fuel fires. Drier plants equals better kindling, which equals bigger, hotter fires.

Robots installing solar cells coming sooner than we think ☀️
The combination of less data required and the cost of compute makes this so much more possible than ever before, especially for more modular/repetitive construction projects.
Who’s putting sensors on large scale
AI x Robotics is progressing incredibly fast.
Major advancements this week from Berkeley, OpenAI, Channel 1, Mistral, Microsoft, Waymo, Stability, Meta, Stanford, Alibaba, DeepMind, Imperial College, and the biggest AI conference (NeurIPS).

It feels like there’s a gap between large scale hardware R&D and pilot plants. Traditional EPCs aren’t good for this fist-of-a-kind project development. Any ideas about how we close that gap at an accelerated pace?

Chemistries to turn electrons into fuel have been around for a long time.
Wind and solar create the cheapest electrons which is epic🙌.
But the more renewables we add to the grid, the less we're able to use them 📈
(will make a thread in the future about why ☝️)

We can make wind and solar work for the grid by storing it in fuels.
If we don't, we're going to see the cost of energy increase with the climbing percentage of renewables on the grid.
Or we'll end up getting all our energy from fossil fuels, pick your poison.

It’s crazy that there’s no FDA for media. A main point of protecting free speech and media is to ensure we have an informed electorate.
Shouldn’t it cut both ways where media/free speech gets protected from bias and political agendas? Why isn’t “news” held to this standard 🤔
A needed AI application: validate claims in real-time during speeches and interviews

In a word where ai agents live on top of all our existing design softwares (adobe, autodesk, aspen, etc), I wonder if future base models will improve at responding in a DSL described in the prompt or if fine tuning will be needed.
Or if something else like function calling is
This is using the assistants API. The assistant has a prompt that teaches a simple DSL for controlling a cursor and using tools. It can use this language to run a series of actions.
