@emm0sh @aegrabs It’s called warp drive. Forked over to Tesla also. It is impressive in scope tbh

@toddsaunders I like this a lot. Companies that develop products should open up their APIs to enable determined people to solve their own problems.

@JosephNWalker Yeah. PARA file structure in obsidian. It was an eye opener of how AI can help remember every user interview I’ve ever done.

@usgraphics Medical illustration is a rigorous discipline that requires exceptionally deep training.

[Stuart Dixon @StuartDixon]

@_kajman @usgraphics Lots of creativity and historical reference in the modular community. ALM busy circuits feels like Akai reimagined, Intellijel, Erica Synths, on and on. Good vibes, fun interfaces that take time to unfold into powerful tools!

Today, @BedrockRobotics emerges from stealth with $80M in funding led by @eclipseventures and @8VC to bring fully autonomous systems to the construction industry.

Now, more than ever, America needs to build. Recent investments in reshoring mean we need new factories for domestic manufacturing. We need new data centers and energy solutions to power AI. And we need millions of new housing units to solve our country’s housing crisis.

Demand for development has never been higher, but we have a supply problem choking our economic future. More than 500,000 construction jobs sit unfilled as critical projects stall.

Bedrock is here to change that. Our Bedrock Operator transforms existing fleets of worksite equipment into fully autonomous machines, enabling builders to meet growing construction demands in the U.S. with greater quality, predictability, and safety.

And in just one year, we’ve deployed our technology on test sites in AR, AZ, TX, and CA, with a list of forward-thinking partners, including @Sundt, Zachry Construction, Champion Site Prep, and @CapAgg. And we’ve got so much more to build.

@signulll Originality reveals itself through nuance, which seems to be where brilliance and emotion are conveyed. Humans are still better at this because we want communication from other humans. We don't really care if robots create great songs, dishes, or paintings.

I feel like a large amount of GDP is locked up because it is difficult for person A to very conveniently pay 5 cents to person B. Current high fixed costs per transaction force each of them to be of high enough amounts, which results in business models with purchase bundles, subscriptions, ad-based, etc., instead of simply pay-as-you-go. As an example, I'd like my computer to auto-pay 5 cents to the article/blog that I just read but I can't, and I think we're worse for it.

In a capitalist system, transactions between entities are the gradient signal of the economy. Because our pipes don't support low magnitude terms in the sums, the gradients are not flowing properly through the system. I'm not familiar enough with payments to have an idea of specific solutions, but I expect we'd see a lot of positive 2nd / 3rd order effects if the gradients were allowed to flow properly, frictionlessly and with much higher resolution.

@yilunzh Hefei is wild- a real boom town. Surprisingly collaborative: nio, Li auto etc they are all friendly with each other. EVs are hip and all the young’s want to be part of it.

Software is the issue. The Chinese are so rapid pace with feature development. And it’s stable. Amazing

[Stuart Dixon @StuartDixon]

@GuyDealership It’s hard. I built yard management tools at Tesla and Rivian and it helps to have vehicle gps, a good tms and keyper to help you track last known location, but so much chaos happens at these operations. Like sand through fingers. Comes down to process process process

The best selling car in the US and Canada last year, and for the 44 years before it, was the Ford F-150.

Hey I’m at CES. If you’re overdue to buy me a beer and catch up, let’s do it.
