I was talking with friends about this When we're reaching post-AGI where money becomes useless and almost everything free Money won't be a thing we compete on anymore I already have group chats where people are competing for how low their RHR is or how high their VO2Max Or of course how heavy their lifts are Status will be measured very differently in the future I think

Funding rounds aren't milestones. It shouldn't be your goal to raise a series A. It should be your goal not to need to.

Construct Capital's @daynagrayson on raising a fund for heavy industries in 2020, at a time when everyone was hyper-focused on software investing. “The venture world was one that was honed and trained on SaaS." "Everyone knew what a magic number should look like, what the Rule of 40 is and when it should be attained.” “We had a fundamental belief that when venture reaches a point where associates take your deck and plug and chug the numbers and then give you an answer, it might not be venture anymore.” With @itsmoislam at the @NYSE

We have $20M to spend next month on CAD - Architecture and interior design firms - Civil, structural, mechanical, electrical and MEP engineering firms - Manufacturing and industrial equipment makers - Industrial and product design studios - Aerospace and automotive engineering services - Electronics and PCB design firms - Medical device design firms - Naval architecture and marine engineering - etc. If they have CAD, we want them bring them all and i'll get you paid - Mike

Something I've been saying for a while, you don't have a sovereign industrial base if all the machines and robots inside it are imported. Yesterday the White House made it official. America "relies on foreign imports for most types of robotics and industrial machinery," and that's now a national security threat. This is the first critical step toward bringing robot and machine tool manufacturing back to the US. The US invented these tools. The first industrial robot, Unimate, went to work at a GM plant in New Jersey in 1961. CNC machining came out of MIT. Then we stopped building them and outsourced it all. Today none of the biggest industrial robot makers is American, and Korea runs 4x our robot density and besides Fanuc, most industrial robot OEMs have outsourced critical components to China. @AMRwelding is building industrial robot arms designed and built in the US, on our own opensource controller. Reindustrialization runs on robots. They should be built here too.

Deep dive into the current state of the 𝕏 algorithm. Worth bookmarking if you create content on 𝕏: How your posts get found now: • Followers see you through "Thunder," which holds recent posts from accounts they follow • Non-followers find you through "Phoenix" (an AI retrieval model) and "SimClusters" (interest clusters) • There's also a shared list of popular recent posts that gets mixed in • Everything gets ranked together by the same model How your post gets scored: • An AI model predicts the chance each viewer will take each action on your post • Each action has a "weight" to propose a score, which pushes your post • Copy link: 20x • Reply, quote, share via DM: 5x • Follow: 4x • Share: 2x • Repost: 1x • Like: 0.5x • Reports, mutes, blocks, and "not interested" are HEAVILY negative. One report equals 350 likes... What gets filtered out: • Posts older than 48 hours • Posts the viewer already saw • Replies and reposts from accounts they don't follow • Muted keywords, blocked and muted accounts • Extra branches of the same conversation • Anything flagged by visibility filtering (spam, safety labels, etc.) What's new (October update): • A "user debias" model is being wired in, adjusting for how generous each viewer is with engagement (users who are picky with their engagement get heavier weights) • Search improvements • The model now knows whether a post has video or an image My advice: • Focus on creating content that is bookmarkable, shareable, and worth commenting on • Focus on original, high-value content • Spread your posts • Your first ~2 hours of a post are everything • Avoid negativity so you don't collect reports, blocks, etc. • Create multiple formats (video, article, etc.) Bookmark this so you don't lose it.

people don't realize how different OpenAI and Anthropic's users are. only 4.6% of ChatGPT chats are about coding. on Claude, it's 35%. that's an insane 7x gap.
