dear people writing Sequoia’s obituary after yesterday’s news: what the hell are you smoking? adaptation and focus are really good and necessary things. i think these guys + gals have earned more than enough credit for knowing what they’re doing.

Amazon is worried about AI agents doing the shopping (WSJ). Main Street should be paying attention too. If AI can't read your site, it can't recommend you. Free score: beacon.aruon.ai podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas…

It is my Great Honor to endorse the Highly Respected Attorney General of Texas, Ken Paxton, an America First Patriot, and someone who has always been extremely loyal to me and our AMAZING MAGA MOVEMENT, who is running for the United States Senate, to represent a place I love and WON, BIG, three times, with 6.4 Million Votes in 2024 (The Most Votes in the History of the State, BY FAR)!   I know Ken well, have seen him tested at the highest and most difficult levels, and he is a WINNER! Ken is a true MAGA Warrior who has ALWAYS delivered for Texas, and will continue to do so in the United States Senate. His opponent, James TalaFREAKO, is a Radical Left Dumocrat who is opposed to NO TAX ON TIPS, NO TAX ON OVERTIME, and NO TAX ON SOCIAL SECURITY and, if he and the Dumocrats ever got in, all of these things will be terminated. He wants massive Tax Increases, Open Borders, Men playing in Women's Sports, and Transgender Mutilization of your Children. James TalaFREAKO is Reckless, Radical, and Dangerous!   On the other hand, as your next Senator, Ken will tirelessly fight to continue the Great Growth of our Economy, Cut Taxes and Regulations, Advance MADE IN THE U.S.A., Unleash American Energy DOMINANCE, Champion Texas Oil & Gas, Advocate for our Amazing Farmers and Ranchers, Promote School Choice, Keep our Border SECURE, Stop Migrant Crime, Support our Incredible Military/Veterans, Safeguard our Elections, and Protect our always under siege Second Amendment.   Ken Paxton has my Complete and Total Endorsement to be the next United States Senator from the Great State of Texas. GET OUT AND VOTE FOR KEN — HE WILL NEVER LET YOU DOWN! President DONALD J. TRUMP swampthevoteusa.com/texas/

Anthropic rewrote its Messages API in Rust. Zero Rust devs on the team. Claude wrote the code. Humans wrote the plan and checked old vs new matched on real traffic. CPU dropped 40-50%. Pretty sure "never do the big rewrite" is dead advice. @katelyn_lesse on @latentspacepod

This was my desk this morning: a new hardware wallet sitting next to an Aruon QR code. I put them together on purpose. Something is coming faster than most owners realize. Your next customer may not be a person. It may be an AI agent sent by a person to do one job: find the right service, compare the options, and pay. It won't browse, it won't need a checkout page, and it won't wait until Monday. Agents don't carry credit cards the way we do. More and more of them pay in crypto and stablecoins, because those settle directly and work around the clock. So we're getting ready. Soon, every Aruon product will be available for an AI agent to buy and pay for in cryptocurrency. The products and the people behind them stay the same, all running on U.S.-based AI on hardware we own. The bigger question is about you, not us. When an agent shows up to buy from your company, can it read what you sell? Can it pay you? Or will it quietly move on to a competitor who was ready? Most businesses haven't thought about this yet, and that's the opening. Is your company ready for a customer that isn't human? #AgenticAI #AIAgents #Crypto #FutureOfCommerce #AruonAi

What's llms.txt? A short plain-text file on your website that tells AI assistants who you are, what you offer, and where to find the details. Most small business sites don't have one. Beacon adds it for you, and your site and design stay exactly the same.

Same website. Two very different readers. Your customers see this. ChatGPT sees… almost nothing. Would AI recommend your business? 👇 beacon.aruon.ai

We trained our Muse foundational models, including Muse Wonder, at Prometheus, our gigawatt-scale supercluster in New Albany, Ohio. Across a supercluster with hundreds of thousands of GPUs, even one underperforming host can slow an entire training run. We engineered Prometheus for resilience at scale, achieving 85%+ goodput on pretraining, 90%+ on reinforcement learning and ~47K GPU hours mean time between interruptions during Muse Wonder training. Take a look at the tech powering Prometheus: go.meta.me/4yXXApZ

🚨 JUST IN: President Trump gives a HUGE shoutout to Elon Musk for pledging a huge chunk of his OWN SpaceX shares to MILLIONS of American children We’re talking SEVERAL BILLION dollars worth that’ll be transferred to Trump Accounts. “This is exactly what was envisioned when we created TRUMP ACCOUNTS — Bringing together the GREAT PRIVATE SECTOR, Elon and so many more, to invest in our children, by far our greatest and most important asset, and give every American Child a piece of the American Dream.” 🇺🇸

SpaceX is officially seeking FAA approval for up to 456 Starship launches and 912 landings per year from Starbase, a big increase from the 25 launches and 50 landings allowed today. • Phase 1 would include up to 100 annual launches and up to 200 annual landings (100 of the Starship and 100 of the Super Heavy). Launches and landings could occur at any day or time of the week. FAA: "As the vehicle continues to mature and reliability improves, launch and landing rates are expected to increase. Starship and Super Heavy are designed to require minimal post-flight refurbishment." • Phase 2 would include up to 456 launches originating from, and 912 annual landings at, the Boca Chica Launch Site at Starbase, Texas. Launches could occur at any time of day, but would only occur Monday through Friday. FAA: "This phase represents a mature program launching more than 100 times annually and would be implemented within several years." Public comments are due by Nov. 30, 2026

Morgan Stanley's Adam Jonas in new @SpaceX note on Starship flight 15: "Flight 15 (~1 month from now) is shaping up as SpaceX's biggest test towards Starship reusability since the IPO, with Flight 16 (targeted before year-end) potentially an even bigger one. Our message to investors: We anticipate developments over the forthcoming weeks/months could help profoundly evolve investor expectations about SpaceX's role in converting energy into intelligence at scale through physical agents - robots to help build economically multiplicative technologies for future generations. We believe reducing launch costs by a further order of magnitude (thanks to Starship) while significantly increasing mass to orbit could create new economies and new demand for materials, devices and services on earth that currently do not exist. Going forward, each Starship launch of Starlink is equivalent to min 1 month worth of Falcon 9 launches. After a successful deployment of 26 Starlink V3 satellites on Flight 14, we expect a repeat or potential even larger load of satellites on the next flight (Starship fits up to 60). Each Starlink V3 has 10x the downlink capacity of the v2 mini sats currently launching on Falcon 9 every ~3 days. This means Flight 15 would equate to 1-2+ months of F9 launches." Adam maintained his $300 $SPCX price target.
