Holy cow, did Gaitsgory and friends just prove the Geometric Langlands Conjecture??? Theorem 1.6.2 seems to do the heavy lifting, and Kac-Moody localization plays a key role. Amazing.

I don’t think the funder side of the technology business has any idea how big of an economic volcano eruption is building in the world of hardware

Whole categories of problem are getting solved by companies that haven’t even started raising A rounds

Huge reservoir of alpha

@PhillipsPOBrien I’d appreciate one, thanks — and thanks for your insightful writing!

Standards! They're fascinating. LF Murillo & I have a new piece about standards, #openhardware, & env. monitoring looking at how open standards have served as community-making devices, bringing experts together to collaborate on a common set of problems. https://t.co/N6gL9nb72H

This is why I've been quiet as of late... December 7. A privilege, but oodles of work.

[Allan Adams @AllanAdamsYG]

@Rainmaker1973 Good luck to you both!

[Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) @WHOI]

Today, #WHOI announced a partnership with @PropellerOcean, a climate-tech fund, to address the #climate crisis by advancing planet-saving, ocean-based science and technology solutions.

Fantastic news for the ocean and for society! Tremendously excited to see @bhalligan @DrOceanJulie @devdutt @reece and Steven Fox partner with @PdeMenocal and @WHOI to bring this audacious vision to fruition! Keep your eye on @PropellerOcean, amazing things are coming!

[Propeller @PropellerOcean]

1/ Today we're proud to announce our first fund of $100 million, committed to innovators building scalable companies that tackle the climate crisis with science-led solutions. Our mission is to leverage and protect our planet’s greatest asset, the ocean. And yes, it's a 🧵!

[Allan Adams @AllanAdamsYG]

@roybahat Profoundly inspiring. I share your inner skepticism, but this looks amazing (holy cow, voting shares to a trust and 98% to a c4!), and fits with his history. To me, a founder building a company focused on global impact, this feels like a wonderful dream of success. What an exit!

@thephysicsgirl Most vehicles deal by keeping compressibility significantly less than water — gives negative feedback. But if you’re designing passive midwater floats, this is an important design consideration.

[Allan Adams @AllanAdamsYG]

@thephysicsgirl Sure. Imagine an object that’s floating at some depth with perfectly neutrally buoyancy. If it’s overall more compressible than seawater, a small dip to higher pressure will make it negatively buoyant, which makes it dive deeper, which makes it compress more, etc.

@thephysicsgirl @CuriosityStream Congratulations!!

[Allan Adams @AllanAdamsYG]

@bunniestudios Would love a few of those Artix-7’s!!

[Allan Adams @AllanAdamsYG]

@sub_rov Pelagic crabs!! Clouds of them — mind blowing if you’re not expecting them. Seared in my memory from my first ROV dive.

[Allan Adams @AllanAdamsYG]

@shoshannasaxe @civmin Congratulations!!

[Allan Adams @AllanAdamsYG]

@KakaniKatija @NSF Congrats!!! And good luck!!!
