An airplane just landed at a heliport. In lower Manhattan. That is the @ElectraAero EL-2, the ultra-short takeoff and landing prototype aircraft. CEO Marc Allen said Monday it was the first time the manufacturer has shown the EL2’s capabilities publicly in such an environment.

So it occurred to me listening to a podcast on the history of Ford, that everyone was super duper mad at the capitalist railroads for gouging them and treating their employees like shit. But at the same time, essentially all the railroads have gone bankrupt.

london is a city that dares to ask the question: what if there was a world-class capital with bad weather, high cost of living, mediocre food and miserable people? nevertheless, it persists

Given how out-of-nowhere it seems to many, it is astonishing that there was a small group of people who predicted with remarkable accuracy everything that is happening in AI today a decade ago (@kevinroose shows this in The AGI Chronicles). Many are now very rich and/or powerful

PCBs made in America. Twice as fast as Shenzhen. Today @CircuitHub is unveiling The Grid, our factory-scale robot in Massachusetts that builds circuit boards on demand. No changeovers, no per-design setup. Prototypes and production batches, fully automated.

I think the fundamental YIMBY insight is that, if you live in a society which imposes artificial scarcity on basic necessities like housing and health care, then there is no amount of redistribution which will make them broadly available to the poor. You need supply-side changes.

I now see duration mismatches everywhere thanks to SVB... ie making long-term compute commitments while your customers pay per token. Not an anti-neolab post AT ALL, just noting that SVB left an indelible mark on my brain

Ant S1 pointed out that spend by customer increased as projects scaled. While I'm still sifting through our field data from CIO/CTO/CISOs, we can confirm ROI also increases with production scale. Of those tracking ROI...

More than half of the Fortune 500 already qualifies as a significant customer, but Anthropic’s revenue from those companies averages less than 0.1% of their expenses. Its ten largest Fortune 500 customers spend more than eight times the broader cohort average while still spending less than 1% of expenses.

I’m introducing legislation to expand San Francisco’s streamlined program to convert empty offices to new homes. This program saves 6-12 months time and means more new homes, faster! sfexaminer.com/news/politics…
