SpaceX has now landed its first-stage booster from orbit 148 times.
Space technology is moving forward fast.
But this wasn't always the case.
What can SpaceX teach us about innovation? A framework for what it takes to make progress.
A thread! #ship30for30#innovation#spacex
I think the pity and mockery stems from so many Europeans (usually institutions/"experts") dismissing AC's utility. The vast majority of the debate is not over the mechanics and logistics of deployment, but whether widespread AC is in principle desirable in the first place. I think it garners so much attention from Americans (and Europeans such as myself) because it's a vivid distillation of the self-destructive "degrowth" hysteria that is so prevalent and harmful in many European policy matters. It is the same impulse that led to Germany decommissioning its nuclear capacity, and it is a substantial contributor to the broader economic challenges of the continent.
@doodlestein Have you ever posted on what your overarching goal is with all these projects? I follow your work and it's obviously interesting stuff, but I'm curious to hear your motivations
Enterprise software isn't complex because business is complex.
It's complex because in 1970, we chose a storage model designed for filing cabinets and spent 50 years building compensation layers on top of it.
60-80% of enterprise IT budgets go to maintaining existing systems. 51% of engineers have left or considered leaving a company because of technical debt.
The takeaway: most engineering orgs spend their energy holding things together – not building or innovating
Salesforce said companies spend $400B a year on integrations.
The average enterprise runs 897 applications. Only 29% are integrated. 84% of integration projects fail.
We've normalized spending more on connecting software than running it.
That's a foundational problem.
@steipete While no one can deny there's a huge amount of hype, what do we really know about Anthropics profitability? Investments in new models should be thought of separately as the revenue / growth accrued from those are in ther future so not relevant from a margin perspective
