@mike_matas Interior is awesome. Exterior looks like a Nissan. Really wish it looked like a Ferrari.

@JackAndTheBots Well done. We share your pain ;)

[Alex Pachikov 🌻 @alexpach]

I’m most proud that despite the long odds, no one on the team slowed down. We got creative and kept moving.

Large facilities require comprehensive security coverage. From factories and warehouses to distribution centers and stadiums. @sunflower_labs built an autonomous drone system that uses computer vision to detect & deter threats, augmenting traditional security.

Exclusive: Drone security startup Sunflower Labs was grounded by the pandemic. Now it's raised a $16M Series B led by Sequoia's Roelof Botha.

CEO Alex Pachikov shares how his 9-year-old startup went from near-dead to flying high again, with millions in sales across 9 countries.

[Alex Pachikov 🌻 @alexpach]

I don’t post much, but when I do it’s something I am very happy about.

[Sunflower Labs @sunflower_labs]

We have been too quiet for too long, but not because we didn't have anything to share. Actually the last few months have been the most exciting in the history of our company.

Huge thanks to @sequoia and @roelofbotha for your trust!

Incredible.

Only NOW that Europe's AI Act is coming into force is its author realizing it:
- Probably goes too far;
- Discourages European companies from investing in AI; and
- Entrenches Big Tech's position (like most regulation)

This is true…..

@beaglesandmore @gnuman1979 It is not sold because of weight regulations, not safety. Electric cars have heavy batteries which prevent them being classified as consumer vehicles in some cases.

My new hobby while visiting Japan: when possible I look for a new Kissa (an old traditional cafe) and order coffee and a pizza toast. Inspired by @craigmod and his wonderful book “Kissa by Kissa”

In the last 72 hours I flew first from Zurich to San Francisco, then to Tokyo. Now my jet lag has jet lag.

@plibin This tweet brings me joy. I’ll keep it.

@t3dotgg Did you miss the part that this is optional?
