"For Epic Fury, perhaps the Most Valuable Player was Unmanned. The MQ-9. We made many many strikes..I don't want to say how many because the number is classified but no other platform is even close to the MQ-9. So we get a lot of utility out of them and don't put our folks in risk. " Gen. Kenneth S. Wilsbach Chief of Staff of the US Air Force (May 20, 2026)

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.

1. Topological quantum computing is here! This thread explains how Microsoft’s Majorana 1 works and what it will mean for a fault tolerant future. I was invited to Azure Quantum Labs and got to hold this amazing new chip!

Last week, I visited our Joint Assessment Division teammates at @TeamEglin. I am so proud of the team & the work they do to deliver robust, independent, technically-informed operational assessments of combined & joint capabilities to the Chairman. Thanks for being a great host!

Drone integration for close air support. At JCAS, we try to keep training as realistic and forward-leaning. Students are exposed to the utility of ‘spotter drones’ to make corrections and assess BDA on distant targets. We plan to grow our fleet and add capabilities.

Happy Birthday, #Marines!

For 248 years, Marines have been the first to fight.

That legacy now rests on your shoulders.

Stay ready, and Semper Fidelis.

Holy shit.

Can you imagine a GPT where you could ask any question and it uses advice from 3,000 20VC episodes to answer your questions from the best VCs in the world.

Wow.

The new MCRP 3-10.3 Small Unmanned Aircraft System Operations is available.

-The crew that put this document together did an outstanding job. However, it is by no means complete and requires refinement by those working on integrating these capabilities across the entire MAGTF.

Today, the @coastguardph again assisted in the routine Rotation and Resupply (RoRe) mission in Ayungin Shoal conducted by the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP). The PCG deployed two 44-meter vessels, namely BRP Cabra (MRRV-4409) and BRP Sindangan (MRRV-4407), as escort ships for the resupply boats.

The routine RoRe mission was again subjected to dangerous maneuvers by the four China Coast Guard (CCG 21616, CCG 21551, CCG 21556, and CCG 5305) and four Chinese Maritime Militia (QIONG SANSHA YU 00231, QIONG SANSHA YU 00115, QIONG SANSHA YU 00114, and QIONG SANSHA YU 00008), jeopardizing the crew members' safety aboard the PCG vessels and Philippine resupply boats. Despite the challenging circumstances brought about by the illegal presence and activities of the CCG and CMM in our exclusive economic zone, the mission was carried out successfully. The much-needed supplies were delivered to our dedicated troops aboard the BRP Sierra Madre.

The PCG stands shoulder-to-shoulder with the AFP in our shared commitment to safeguarding our sovereignty, sovereign rights, and maritime jurisdiction in accordance with international law, particularly the 1982 UN Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) and the 2016 Arbitral Award and other relevant international instruments, including the 1972 Convention on the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea (COLREGS). The PCG calls upon the CCG and CMM to immediately cease any illegal activities within the maritime zones of the Philippines. Doing so can foster a stable, secure, and rules-based maritime order conducive to regional cooperation and peace.

Under the leadership of the Commandant, Coast Guard Admiral Artemio Abu, the PCG supports President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.’s call, made during the recent ASEAN Summit, for the Southeast Asian nations to unite against the use of coast guard and maritime militia vessels in the South China Sea to pursue claims inconsistent with international law.

@_Dan_Ryan -yes. Exactly the point. Save those sorties, maintenance hours, and deliberate planning efforts…if a ground unit can organically generate local effects through a reimagined use of novel capabilities then do so. It’s not a threat to crewed aviation -it allows economy of force.
