Kind people should be friends with kind people.

Having asshole friends just makes you an asshole.

Preserve kindness.

SpaceX and Tesla have shown the way to make complex products that cost >$20,000/ton. But what if you want to make cheap products like cement or steel? A look at what strategy you might follow:

I'm excited to announce a unique career opportunity @terraformindies. I'm looking to hire an exceptionally talented person as my Technical Chief of Staff.

Why? Up to this point, Terraform has focused on our beach head product - synthetic natural gas. Now, it's time to take our unique process to knowledge to every other industrial vertical, and there are only 24 hours in a day. My Technical CoS will help share the (joyful) burden of modeling the global economy and then setting out to rebuild it from the ground up.

This role is the job I dreamed about for my entire 20s, a front row seat during the formation of an ambitious start up, working with and for an incredible team. The Technical CoS is not a glorified triager of emails. They will assist me and the rest of the executive team on deep technical analysis, fundamental industrial chemistry research, market analysis, technical writing, and every other aspect of building a successful hardware company from scratch.

This sort of job would be Type 2 fun for most people, but I guarantee excitement, challenge, and a high rate of learning.

Job posting below, please forward it to people who can take the fullest advantage of this opportunity.

I cannot imagine a nominee with more technical and commercial understanding of EGS and the need to deploy geothermal for clean, firm power. Congrats, @ChrisAWright_, looking forward to working with your team. https://t.co/svq0ELglAd

Underrated in our mastery of the stainless steel tech tree (see: Starship!) is it being now economical in totally mundane uses, like plumbing. Hugely satisfying to replace my traditional plumbing (which sheds lead & microplastics) with truly clean SS that will last centuries.

@adaobiadibe_ Excited for you! I’ve been following your kidney journey over substack and hope to see more of your write ups in my inbox

we're pulling back the curtain on legislation we passed earlier this year that makes launching a florida school 10x simpler and free from incumbent roadblocks.

just the start. https://t.co/6pQlV82taU 🇺🇸🇺🇸

Terrence Tao saying he uses ChatGPT to learn programming syntax(for lean) is such a blue pill.

The smartest mathematician alive doesn't have the ego of a mid programmer.

WORLD’s FIRST FULL UNDERBODY GIGACASTING 🇨🇳

This Gigacasting was realized by Chery Auto using a 13,000 ton Giga Press with a dual injection system

The machine was made by LK Machinery and it’s available for testing

That’s a lot of f*ing aluminum

I don’t tend to get angry about the things I write about for a living.

But the arbitrary and parasitic way in which the European Union extracts money from US tech firms, while our own government applauds them, is one of the few things that does, indeed, make me mad.
