imagine what the world would look like if you could iterate hardware at the rate of software

People who think we can’t improve the environment and do space exploration at the same time have a zero sum and very limited understanding of the world

there is no way starlink could provide communication with an underwater vehicle at that depth
i know because @BaliAnirudh and i built underwater robots in highschool. we used a physical cable to communicate between our ground control station and vehicle

wrong. more people should reflect on what life path they want prior to deciding on college.
we need more workers in manufacturing and those people will make good money
the idea that you’re fucked for life by not going to college or dropping out is ridiculous

Current metal 3D printing processes are like alchemy
It takes weeks/months of testing and failure to define parameters to print parts and pass QA repeatably
We've developed a new process, turning metal 3D printing into a rational, repeatable, industrial process that will scale
1517 companies don't just make great products; they also make high-technological kinetic art.

no. this is physically impossible
electromagnetic fields attenuate a lot in salt water

Do we… just need to go back to slide rules and drafting tables?
The SR-71 Blackbird was the last major U.S. aircraft designed with a slide rule. It took only 32 months to go from design on paper to 1st flight. It still holds the official speed record for a piloted aircraft.
1950s engineers were hardcore

Anduril will be a defense prime
So glad we can finally talk about this! Fury is a high-performance, multi-mission group 5 autonomous air vehicle. It is capable of pulling 9Gs at Mach 0.95 for a tiny fraction of the cost of similarly performant fighter craft.

guy who works on humanoid robots but thinks 3D printing is mostly silly
I get asked about 3D printing all the time
We do a decent amount of non structural 3D printing today, but within our high production line almost none of the robot will be 3D printed
You just can’t beat the cost of traditional manufacturing methods (stamp, casting, molding) - not even close
I do see value in early prototyping of tooling w/ 3D printing - that seems useful

we made a ton of progress this month on print quality
we’re going to keep moving faster and faster
it’s extremely important to bring industry back to the west
Love waking up to a monthly update from
@divalbanerjee and the team at @vuecason
This is one month’s progress.
The future is coming.

mechanical engineering will start to look a lot more like software engineering this decade
aggressive testing is the fastest way to gain insight
if mechanical engineers could build, test until failure, redesign, and test again as quickly as software engineers, they'd probably act more like software engineers and it would be a good thing.

space exploration will accelerate the development of climate tech anyway. So if you’re against progress in space, you’re actually against environmental preservation

it would be extremely sad to see software suffer from stagnation the way manufacturing has over the last 50 years, that’s why it’s dangerous
people who don’t like “ethics” or “responsibility” aren’t actually opposed to either, we just know that it means something else

something special is happening in LA
All over LA, founders are setting up clean rooms and robots to manufacture everything from rocket engine components to portable nuclear fission reactors. @jdsisteron and I compiled a list of 50 hard tech companies you should know about in and around LA:

lol. it was the stupidest pitch call that i've ever been on by far
our beachhead market is high-performance tooling. they questioned this decision bc other AM companies have struggled to break into tooling, even after i outlined why those companies failed

Not a bad-faith attack at all. Many people feel threatened by her and unsafe. And I'm not just talking about top VCs. I'm talking about Gen Z entrepreneurs and minors. The outrage is deserved

Those printed parts are insanely complex, a lot of those flow paths are just embedded within the printed part.
It replaced and consolidated several parts, flanges, and welds, which reduced overall system complexity and improved reliability.

Sounds like cope. People have realized that hedonism has led to despair and meaninglessness in tech

a common mistake I see in deeptech is when someone promotes how novel their technology is, rather than the new capabilities that technology provides
novel technology without new capability has no business value

mutual understanding, values, and worldview. i could share that with someone who already is physically beautiful as well
once i’ve found that person why would i keep looking?
this type of person is not a commodity and would be already perfect to me- there is no upgrade to seek

The shift from increasing water supply to water conservation was a mistake
No major water infrastructure that increases supply has been built in California since 1979, despite our population exploding approximately 70% since then to 40 million.
The state's chronic water shortages are unsurprising.

bullish on build teams
bearish on student council
Two of SpaceX's senior execs Mark Juncosa and Bill Riley are Cornell grads who credit their engineering chops to the Formula1 project team (FSAE) in college.
Join clubs in college to actually building stuff together, not the "consulting club" which is just college kids chatting.

lol the Europoors
BREAKING: Twitter owner Elon Musk is hit with devastating news as France’s Digital Minister threatens to ban Twitter from the ENTIRE European Union territory if Musk does not get serious about tackling Twitter’s growing wave of “disinformation.”
But it gets WORSE for Musk…
A top European Union commissioner also put Musk on notice that he “can run,” but he “can’t hide” from the consequences of allowing Twitter to be overrun by far-right policial disinformation.
The Minister minced no words today when he threatened Musk, declaring, “Disinformation is one of the gravest threats weighing on our democracies. If Twitter repeatedly doesn’t follow our rules, it will be banned from the European Union.”
Please RT and ❤️ to thank the European Union for bravely standing up to Elon Musk — and consider joining the growing exodus to Tribel, a new pro-democracy Twitter competitor I created that is exploding in popularity because Elon Musk banned Tribel’s Twitter account — but he failed to ban this link to download the new Tribel app: tribel.app.link/okwPIHYCIqb

I got to ask @elonmusk what technology he was excited about but did not have time to pursue.
His answer: an electric jet. And candy of course!
