We have a existential manufacturing problem in America. Why aren't there Amazon/Tesla-scale gigafactory warehouses filled with CNC machines? Will we ever be able to make our own products again? How do we accelerate the turnaround of American manufacturing?. I asked this question.

Kimi, it's a good model, sir.

Sometimes I have problems distilling to people the situations in which AI should be used. I think these three points do it nicely. 1) I don't care about keeping .2) Wouldn't bother writing myself .3) I can check its output against ground truth.

I find the modern obsession with minimizing risk rather unbecoming.

Just going to celebrate every future incredible event with this video.

Put all the effort on coding and APIs, don't care about multi modal. I need Grok4 to pay off tech debt I made with Claude 4. @xai @elonmusk.

I still think the benchmark for these models is making $1000 legally in the open market.

A revealing interview question is to show a picture like this and ask what vendor you would buy every one of these parts from? If you've been in the trenches of automation, it should all be at the tip of your tongue. These are a lot more fair and practical questions vs do forced.

And ~$45 trillion ($27t private, $18t gov) dollars of inflation adjusted dollars over the last 50 years. Apple alone has sent an estimated $600bil overseas. I love my local vendors, I send millions of dollars of work their way, but let's not pretend that the world is.

Being relegated to GCC-High compliant LLM models is crippling. Azure is one of the worst use experiences I've ever had. Cursor's azure connection is also broken. I miss my Claude and Gemini models.

super excited to try this out.

It's wild that the Meissner effect works in thin films. This is 2 microns of REBCO levitating a neodymium magnet 1000x its own mass.

Project Bob's dashboard is progressing nicely. The @ArcGISOnline layers you can pull in are wild, showing global satellite based radar and surface current flow. Of course @grafana on the right side with all the craft metrics. Obviously simulated course tracks right now, we

Electromechanical structures, huge data, giga scale sensors, active optics, peering into the universe. This sort of stuff is just the coolest to me.

Polymarket on Project Bob getting stopped by coast guard?.

Anyone have a zodiac in Marina Del Ray? We want to take Bob out beyond the breakwater this weekend.

This is super cool.

Follow-up on the peak heating observed inside the avionics box with the wax. This was the worst case, with the Starlink (27 watts) and the Pi (4 watts) on all night. Showing about a 15°C rise during the day, well below melt temps. Typically I'll only run Starlink 6 hours a day,

Nikita has the chance to do the funniest thing

I'll do a sticker giveaway soon

If you want to see the Grafana dashboard of it sitting in dry dock, you can access the public one here.
