What's the process for getting an agent like Claude Code to use jscpd effectively? I assume it's just another tool call with some basic prompting?

I don’t we’re at the “companies bought too many GPUs” stage yet. My understanding is they still can’t get enough GPUs, or data centers to put them in, or power to run them. Most companies don’t even own them, they rent from the clouds. We

If Starship achieves full and “rapid” reusability then it seems like it would be a lot more feasible to collect and deorbit space junk.

It’s entirely possible a company like Tesla would not exist, or at least would be delayed by many years, if it weren’t started in the US.

I used to think engineers should get all the credit for the successes of big engineering projects, and they should probably get more credit than they do, but over time I’ve realized how important good leadership is. SpaceX and Tesla absolut

“The only difference between your phone and China's social credit system is that China tells you what they're doing.” Weird take. There’s a massive difference between a centralized government-run system and a decentralized system

I didn't mean this ship and booster, I mean in a year or so when they're done with the test phase and frequently launching Starlink satellites on Starship.

What exactly do you think is the “more technology development than the current flights actually show“ needed to get into and out of orbit? My impression is they just need to leave the engines on a little longer to get to orbit, then turn th

They mentioned in the stream they were intentionally stressing the ship on reentry. But yes, “rapid reusability” is a ways off. I expect they’ll be spending weeks inspecting and repairing ship and booster before reflight for a few years, bu

The nice thing about SpaceX’s rapid iteration philosophy (and having Starlink as its first “customer”) is that they can account for engine unreliability by building extra margin into early launches, fly with reduced payloads, collect data o

“Tries to block” is different than “fights for a piece of the same pie”. While Starlink is never going to compete with fiber purely on speed, it’s available now, cheaper, and fast enough for residential customers. It will get faster over ti

Very cool, any maybe some people are better at managing clutter, but I would make a huge mess of this space in days. The EE lab would put it over the top for me.

The discovering itself doesn’t seem like the interesting part. If the discovery wasn’t in the training data then it’s a sign AI can produce novel scientific research / experiments.

The coolest thing about this is apparently it’s written by Jack Dorsey, billionaire founder of Twitter/Square. https://x.com/jack/status/1941989435962212728 Cool to see he still gets his hands dirty in code.

Lightning network depends on… the internet… so if both clients are on the internet why not just send messages over that?

What makes you think that?

Ok, but that’s a trade off anyone who works for a private company makes, and it’s never called an “effective cliff”.

Andrew Bosworth (CTO of Meta) being commissioned as a Lieutenant Colonel in a new unit of the US Army Reserve is even more interesting in this light. https://x.com/boztank/status/1933512877140316628?s=46

Massive difference. You can vest and move on, even if you don’t have liquidity, which most private companies don’t for employees anyway.

Meta “will have a 49% stake in the artificial intelligence startup, but will not have any voting power” Wouldn’t Scale’s board/execs still have a fiduciary duty to existing shareholders, not just Meta?

Previous articles about this suggested the connections were routed through a government datacenter nearby. Is that not the case?

They’re in a pissing match. The relationship between SpaceX and the federal government is mutually beneficial. I would be surprised if either follows through on their threats.

By my estimate, SpaceX has saved the US government 10s of billions by reducing launch costs with Falcon 9, developing Dragon, Starlink, etc.
