Great example of frangible couplings used in airport runway lights. They break cleanly to minimize damage to airplanes and service vehicles that run them over, also designed to minimize upset to underground wiring.

Frangible construction means design to breakaway cleanly as demonstrated here or in the recent Tesla CyberTruck attack on Trump Tower!

🚀 Can a Storage Tank Launch Like a Rocket? Yes! Overpressure from fire or heat can propel poorly designed tanks. *

✅ Prevention Tips:
1️⃣ Use frangible roofs or emergency vents.
2️⃣ Follow API safety guidelines.
3️⃣ Prioritize safe design to protect lives and property.

While frangibility has advantages for many purposes in aerospace its major strength is also its major weakness. for this reason Tesla fans ought not be so haughty as to its “indestructibility”.

Honda built #solidstate batteries for EVs.

Honda did what Tesla won’t.

The plan includes using a continuous inline mixer that Honda says is “three times faster” than typical cell batch processing. Honda plans to make batteries on this line in January. https://t.co/KP9wgxGyCA

NotebookLM is quite powerful and worth playing with
https://t.co/EMHIjc15iU

It is a bit of a re-imagination of the UIUX of working with LLMs organized around a collection of sources you upload and then refer to with queries, seeing results alongside and with citations.

But the current most new/impressive feature (that is surprisingly hidden almost as an afterthought) is the ability to generate a 2-person podcast episode based on any content you upload. For example someone took my "bitcoin from scratch" post from a long time ago:
https://t.co/7ajZNZ0BGi
and converted it to podcast, quite impressive:

You can podcastify *anything*. I give it train_gpt2.c (C code that trains GPT-2):
https://t.co/gDrAqix4Iv
and made a podcast about that:
https://t.co/bgcwmQr5d7
I don't know if I'd exactly agree with the framing of the conversation and the emphasis or the descriptions of layernorm and matmul etc but there's hints of greatness here and in any case it's highly entertaining.

Imo LLM capability (IQ, but also memory (context length), multimodal, etc.) is getting way ahead of the UIUX of packaging it into products. Think Code Interpreter, Claude Artifacts, Cursor/Replit, NotebookLM, etc. I expect (and look forward to) a lot more and different paradigms of interaction than just chat.

That's what I think is ultimately so compelling about the 2-person podcast format as a UIUX exploration. It lifts two major "barriers to enjoyment" of LLMs. 1 Chat is hard. You don't know what to say or ask. In the 2-person podcast format, the question asking is also delegated to an AI so you get a lot more chill experience instead of being a synchronous constraint in the generating process. 2 Reading is hard and it's much easier to just lean back and listen.

This was a cool listen. I think Cloud+AI is increasingly making the @levelsio -style model of a scrappy solo serial micro-entrepreneur viable, allowing one person to spin up and run a number of companies that generate income, possibly well into billion-dollar valuations.

Can’t commend this to your attention enough! IMO Harris Walz will be extremely friendly with Blockchain and stablecoin, particularly, #DigitalGreenbacks a la brilliant financial thinking deftly and repeatedly articulated by @rch371 Stability is good government #NeverBreakTheChain

Great admiration for Pieter @levelsio and his dad for the strength of the work ethic inculcated in one by the other! Most admired Dutch men since Vincent Van Gogh and Eric Heiden (speed skater of Dutch extraction). Thank you for this incredible insightful interview @lexfridman!!!

Here's my conversation with Pieter Levels (@levelsio), self-taught developer and entrepreneur who designed, programmed, shipped, and ran over 40 startups, many of which are hugely successful. In most cases, he did it all by himself, while living the digital nomad life in over 40 countries and over 150 cities. This was a fun and inspiring conversation!
