Have to call out competence when I see it - 2 mins through tsa pre at @flySFO yet again!

On the other hand “wifi by Panasonic” boooooooo @united

Love the @Waymo ojai but ours tonight couldn’t shut the doors!

[dj patil @dpatil]

I've got a new mission. Joining forces with @kevinweil, @manohar_paluri & Sol Reisberg. Our mission is to help the world discover new medicines faster—and build the capacity to do it here in America.

This one is super personal to me. I've sat with patients and families confronting diseases. I've met people with rare diseases who have spent years searching for treatments. I've spent time with cancer patients who have exhausted every available option.

Those conversations change how you think about science, technology, and time.

When you're sitting across from someone who is waiting for a medicine that doesn't exist yet, the pace of scientific progress stops being an abstract question.

It becomes deeply personal. This needed to change for a long time. We're here to help. 🇺🇸

[Mike Schroepfer @schrep]

So excited to back this incredible team!

[Kevin Weil 🇺🇸 @kevinweil]

💥 Introducing Warp Sciences, a new company applying AI and robotics to help the world develop new medicines faster.

We’ve raised a $215M Series A led by @lightspeedvp to bring frontier AI out of the browser and into the lab, and build scientific capacity here in America.

I co-founded Warp with my long-time friend @dpatil, FAIR co-founder @manohar_paluri, and drug hunter Sol Reisberg. The early team is full of incredible people like @bkspears9, who helped achieve Q>1 fusion at LLNL.

We are proud to lean into native 800VDC datacenters with @VantageDC. The first of many GWs to come.

The people with the most experience running reactors choosing @RadiantNuclear. Something to be said about that...

[Radiant @RadiantNuclear]

The @USNavy has selected Radiant to deploy our Kaleidos microreactor at Naval Weapons Station Crane, Indiana.

With this selection, Radiant is now the only nuclear microreactor company with partnerships across the Army, Navy and Air Force.

The Navy has more than 70 years of safe reactor operations. It wrote the playbook on reactor safety. Earning its confidence is powerful independent validation of Kaleidos.

This milestone moves us closer to our goal: reliable, resilient nuclear power wherever the mission demands. Through our work with all three branches, we’re building a clear path from military deployment to nuclear energy at scale for government and commercial customers.

@ID_AA_Carmack The flip at the top looks AI generated! Crazy that this was live!

[Sawyer Merritt @SawyerMerritt]

United Airlines has just introduced an awesome new @Starlink Wi-Fi tracker that not only makes it easy to find out if your flight has Starlink, but also gives real-time Starlink installation progress for their fleet.

United has now installed Starlink on 43% of its fleet, with 639 aircraft now equipped. It even breaks down what percent of flights from each hub have Starlink, as well as installation progress by aircraft type. Really cool!

We raised $80M to build the future of rare earth metalmaking. Samarium, for example, is vital to America's defense. We are the only active American producer.

We’re hiring staff mechanical engineers, fabricators, recruiters, etc. Join us. DMs open.

[Mike Schroepfer @schrep]

This is rad!

[Rhoda AI @RhodaAI]

What can a robot do without vision?

We gave our robot a sense of touch and showed it can recognize and retrieve objects with its cameras blindfolded.

Introducing Rhoda’s new tactile sensor—it feels pressure, texture, vibration, slip, and temperature, just like your fingertips.

The portal was one of the most loved products we built

[Gilbert Corrales @samiq]

Catching up on the whole HomeView thing and it’s funny how 6 years early @finkd and @boztank were with the Portal.

Hope they get this as inspiration to put some life back on them.

Probably the best ever device/service they’ve built.

[Mike Schroepfer @schrep]

Next Field Trip episode being filmed today. Unlimited clean energy from the world’s most powerful laser.

[Mike Schroepfer @schrep]

oh @heronpower of course

[Mike Schroepfer @schrep]

Which factory and founder do you want to see for next Field Trips episode?

So far we got plans for @harbinger @CFS_energy @RadiantNuclear Arbor Energy @solcoatech @RhodaAI @xcimerenergy and @Tesla semi factory

[Mike Schroepfer @schrep]

This is smart. Power electronics are the future.

[Will Cooper @wcooper19]

Today, the @DeptofWar's Office of Strategic Capital announced a $1.5 billion conditional loan commitment to Wolfspeed to help strengthen the U.S. supply chain for silicon carbide (SiC), gallium nitride (GaN), and other wide bandgap semiconductor materials.

Combined with private capital, the proposed financing would support domestic production of critical materials and power devices with applications across defense, Super Intelligence, critical infrastructure, and other strategically important sectors.

These technologies are essential to high-performance propulsion, directed energy weapons, drones, electronic warfare systems, radars, and missile defense systems. The financing would also advance U.S. economic security as SiC and GaN are expected to play an increasingly important role in the SI revolution.

@fcvprzhfgsybj This is awesome

[Mike Schroepfer @schrep]

People are sleeping on how big a deal @Tesla semi will be.

[Chansoo Byeon @Chansoo]

A million-mile trucker who called the Tesla Semi "stupid" just drove one fully loaded.

His verdict: "This industry is going to be changed."

He lost 1 mph up a 7% grade, he's straight about the charging trade-off, and then he ran the fleet math: "Why would I buy a diesel truck again?"

0:00 "This industry is going to be changed"
0:29 "Feels like transportation innovation"
0:49 Instant torque vs a 6th-gear diesel
1:16 Fully loaded up a 7% grade: 35 → 34 mph
2:17 Charging & range: the honest trade-off
2:57 No DEF, no DPF, $50K a year in diesel saved
3:31 Critic to convert: "I was wrong"

$1.8 billion committed for predictive models of AI biology
@biohub @GoogleDeepMind, @ENERGY , @NIH, @Meta @IsomorphicLabs all came together
