Quick intro. I'm Kris. Spent 22 years building a software company, sold it, figured I was done.

Then I moved to an island with no grocery store and because I can't help myself, bought a building and opened one. Now I'm building an AI to run the whole thing from a rack of machines in my house. No cloud. I own every byte.

I'm going to share all of it here, the wins and the the things i learned while build it all out.

But none of it would exist without other people's work the folks who opened their AI models, the strangers who taught me to run them at home, and NVIDIA for building hardware a regular guy can put on a desk.

A couple reflections on the quantum computing breakthrough we just announced...

Most of us grew up learning there are three main types of matter that matter: solid, liquid, and gas. Today, that changed.

After a nearly 20 year pursuit, we’ve created an entirely new state of matter, unlocked by a new class of materials, topoconductors, that enable a fundamental leap in computing.

It powers Majorana 1, the first quantum processing unit built on a topological core.

We believe this breakthrough will allow us to create a truly meaningful quantum computer not in decades, as some have predicted, but in years.

The qubits created with topoconductors are faster, more reliable, and smaller.

They are 1/100th of a millimeter, meaning we now have a clear path to a million-qubit processor.

Imagine a chip that can fit in the palm of your hand yet is capable of solving problems that even all the computers on Earth today combined could not!

Sometimes researchers have to work on things for decades to make progress possible.

It takes patience and persistence to have big impact in the world.

And I am glad we get the opportunity to do just that at Microsoft.

This is our focus: When productivity rises, economies grow faster, benefiting every sector and every corner of the globe.

It’s not about hyping tech; it’s about building technology that truly serves the world.

Every person at some point in their lives needs to decide whether they’re more afraid of failing through action or failing through inaction.

You’re gonna fail either way, but only one of them gets you closer to your goal.

Something doesn't add up.
In 2020 Biden had 81 Million votes, Trump had 74 Million votes.
In 2024 Harris got 66 Million votes, Trump got 71 million votes.
15 Million Democrats decided to sit this one out?
3 Million MAGA decided to sit this one out?
No fucking way.

BREAKING NEWS:

Legendary actor Harrison Ford has OFFICIALLY endorsed Kamala Harris in an awesome video:

“I’ve been voting for 64 years.

Never really wanted to talk about it very much but when dozens of former members of the Trump administration are sounding alarms saying “for God sake don't do this again” — you have to pay attention.

The truth is this Kamala Harris will protect your right to disagree with her about policies or ideas and then as we have done for centuries.”

Drop a 💙 if you agree and appreciate Harrison Ford for speaking out!!

BREAKING NEWS
The Norwegian Nobel Committee has decided to award the 2024 #NobelPeacePrize to the Japanese organisation Nihon Hidankyo. This grassroots movement of atomic bomb survivors from Hiroshima and Nagasaki, also known as Hibakusha, is receiving the peace prize for its efforts to achieve a world free of nuclear weapons and for demonstrating through witness testimony that nuclear weapons must never be used again.

@ImissAmerica22 There is nothing more manly and courageous than standing behind your own truth - even doubling down on it - in the face of certain criticism, and likely, loss of opportunity. Take notes, son.

There is absolutely no place for political violence in our democracy. Although we don’t yet know exactly what happened, we should all be relieved that former President Trump wasn’t seriously hurt, and use this moment to recommit ourselves to civility and respect in our politics. Michelle and I are wishing him a quick recovery.
