As we celebrate America’s 250th anniversary, it’s clear that progress is purposeful. It’s built through vision, investment and the collective effort of people who believe in what’s possible. We at Micron are proud to be building in the U.S. - not just fabs, but communities and opportunities for the next generation. Wishing you and your families a meaningful Fourth of July. 🇺🇸 #America250

[Lip-Bu Tan @LipBuTan1]

250 years ago, a small group of people staked everything on an audacious idea: that ordinary citizens, given liberty and the room to invent, could build something extraordinary.

Today, every chip we design, every wafer we produce, every factory we build stands on that inheritance.

Happy 250th birthday, America!

Wishing everyone a Happy 4th of July!

[Michael Dell 🇺🇸 @MichaelDell]

Today, on America’s 250th birthday, Susan and I are celebrating by giving $250 each to the first 25 million qualifying American children who sign up for their @InvestAmerica24 @TrumpAccounts.

This makes every child a shareholder in the greatest prosperity-creating engine the world has ever known — American capitalism. Through this public-private partnership, we’re giving the next generation a real stake in our economy and a path to the American Dream: education, a first home, starting a business, and building lasting wealth.

It unites us all in hope and optimism for every child’s future.

Happy 250th Birthday, America! 🇺🇸

As we celebrate America’s 250th birthday, I’m thankful for all the opportunities this country has made possible for my family and so many others. My parents came to the US as students with big dreams and the hope of building a better life for us. It’s been an amazing journey. Happy 4th of July. 🇺🇸

Intel has been the first to high volume manufacturing on EVERY major innovation in transistor architecture over the last 20 years:

1. Uniaxial strained silicon
2. Hi-k dielectrics and metal gates
3. FinFETs
4. Gate-all-around FET
5. Backside power delivery

We're coming out of stealth.

We've built our first racks after a successful A0 tapeout, $1B+ in customer contracts, and $800m raised.

Early customer tests show us achieving SOTA throughput, latency, and power efficiency on inference workloads.

Our first racks ship this summer.

[Nandini @NBDwrites]

It’s becoming a pattern: whatever the world embraces, celebrates, or makes part of its daily life, its Hinduness is promptly denied.

Yoga becomes ‘wellness.’

Transcendental Meditation becomes ‘mindfulness.’

Onam is reduced to a harvest festival,

Garba to a dance form.

Namaste is a trendy greeting,

Pranayama rebranded as breath work.

Ayurveda and Ayurvedic massage turned into spa treatments, and

Chakras taught as energy centres divorced from their roots.

They market the fruit but mock the tree, fearful to acknowledge its depth and wisdom.

[Dwarkesh Patel @dwarkesh_sp]

It's surprisingly plausible that we got GLP-1 drugs because of Danish tax law.

For tax reasons, Novo Nordisk is actually controlled by a non-profit foundation.

There are many downsides of this. But one possible upside is that it's helped the company avoid institutional drift.

The founding goals of the company were written into the non-profit's constitution, so now every new generation of leaders has to abide by them.

In particular, the company is legally mandated to reinvest significant sums in R&D, regardless of the effect on shareholder value.

That R&D gave us one of the major drug breakthroughs of this century so far.

[The Kaipullai @thekaipullai]

For the last 15 years, I've always had one dream and desire which was to make Indian history interesting for everyone.

In that time period, I have tried writing blogs, long-form posts, stories and threads, to do exactly that.

Some worked, most didn't. But with every post, I always had this nagging question.

Why is Indian history always taught with a tunnel vision. Why is it so fragmented?

Why do we always learn things from the perspective of one empire, kingdom, king or invader.

Why do we never see an all India view of history?

I mean most of us struggle if we are ever are asked this question

1. What was the true extent of the Mughal Empire at its peak?
2. Who were the Cholas' contemporaries in North India?
3. While Muhammad Ghori was fighting the Second Battle of Tarain, who ruled Thanjavur?
4. While Harsha ruled Kannauj, who ruled Assam?

I have always wished there was a simple way to see the political map of India for any year in Indian history.

I have always wished there be a place where

1. One Could Select any year and instantly see who ruled every part of the Indian subcontinent.
2. One could Discover the important events that happened in that year
3. One could select a time period, say 1700 - 1947, and see how the Indian subcontinent evolved in that period.
4. How did one tiny red dot in West Bengal, from a tiny red dot in Europe, somehow came to rule an entire subcontinent of 400 million people,

For years, that idea remained just an idea and a dream because

1. I didn't know how to build a website.
2. I couldn't afford to hire someone who could.

Then Claude Came along.

Thanks to generous support and heavy lifting by Claude, over the last few months, that 15-year-old idea is slowly transforming into a reality.

And today, it has reached a position, where I'm excited to share with all of you, the first sneak peek of https://t.co/6ph2s9Zzl9

It is my attempt to create an interactive historical atlas of India that lets you travel through time and explore the political history of the subcontinent, one year at a time.

This is my attempt to make history interactive and fun.

I'd love to hear what you think.

[Naveen Rao @NaveenGRao]

🧠 Today we introduce Un-0 from @unconvAI : the first large-scale generative model build on physics as a compute primitive. This represents a “hello world” moment for physics-based models. We use the inherent time-varying behavior of physical systems to do compute for us. The result is a new way to build a computer that can be VASTLY more power efficient. 🧵

[Pradeep Elamanchili @PElamanchili]

@magicsilicon The last bite will always whatever is more efficient. I suspect the metric will be Intelligence per joule or economic activity per joule.

[Lip-Bu Tan @LipBuTan1]

Super excited to welcome my close friend Seok-Hee Lee back to Intel! @seokhee4 is a highly regarded semiconductor process integration expert and successful CEO (SK Hynix). Early in his career, he spent over 10 years at @intel, contributing to several critical Intel process technologies. He will now oversee our advanced packaging technology development and drive exciting new system integration projects! Advanced packaging and system integration are increasingly critical areas for Intel Foundry and for the future of computing. Seok-Hee will help Intel accelerate the ramp of our industry leading EMIB-T and HBI technologies. I look forward to partnering with him and have him rejoin Intel at this critical time!

[Anthropic @AnthropicAI]

The US government, citing national security authorities, has issued an export control directive to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether inside or outside the United States, including foreign national Anthropic employees.

The net effect of this order is that we must abruptly disable Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for all our customers to ensure compliance.

Access to all other Claude models is not affected.

We apologize for this disruption to our customers. We believe this is a misunderstanding and are working to restore access as soon as possible.

In awe of SpaceX and its story - past, present and the future. You can think about it in 10+ different ways and continue re-blowing your mind in circles. Huge congrats to the team! 🚀

Congratulations to @elonmusk and the SpaceX team. You did what countless people said was impossible, and you did it time and time again.

Today is your day. You deserve this. May it be a glorious one.

[Lip-Bu Tan @LipBuTan1]

Congratulations Prime Minister @narendramodi on becoming the longest serving elected Prime Minister in India's history! Your contributions to the development of India over the last 12 years have been extraordinary and I am delighted to see India-US relations getting stronger every year. India is one of Intel’s largest and fastest growing markets and is home to thousands of talented Intel employees. I enjoyed our conversation in New Delhi last year on developing a semiconductor ecosystem in India and I look forward to meeting you again soon.

Universities are backing themselves into a dangerous corner by becoming more expensive at the same time they're becoming less necessary.
