Big things coming.

I'm super excited to share that we have raised $250M at a $2.3B valuation to build a LOT more AI compute capacity in orbit 🚀

Thanks so much to our supporters, including Manhattan West, who led the round, and new investors, @NVIDIA, @Cisco_Invests, @CedarCapital, Goanna Capital, and @Standard_Cap, as well as continued investment from existing backers @Benchmark, @EQTVentures, @Soma_Capital, @NFX, @SevenSevenSix, and others.

Next week, @Starcloud_ will move into a new 100,000 square ft facility that will enable us to ramp up our production rate to 100 satellites/week.

This is just the beginning! @EzraFeilden, @AdiOltean🏃🏻‍➡️🏃🏻‍➡️🏃🏻‍➡️

@noampomsky Seems to be a Sightglass thing. Saw a similar interaction there two weeks ago. Don't think there was a second date.

@JJ_Stellies Congratulations!

@duolingo @duolingo there is a bug in the Hebrew course, “mem” (מ), when one has to trace the letter. One loses hearts every time, making my mom’s heart sad as she loses all her hearts and can’t complete the lesson! Please could you give her some hearts back/fix bug (AnneCohenB)

@mstreiffer @JewishCoffeeH @mstreiffer thanks for your thoughtful post. I wish there was more accessible discussion, and examples, about how things evolved over time in the Talmud. I don’t think those examples are mainstream enough, leading many to believe there’s never been any changes.

@Anzovina @BankofAmerica This scenario, among other volatility seen this year with SVB and First Republic, shows why it is important to have more than one checking account at different financial institutions. It costs you nothing, but protects you from unexpected disruptions to your main account.

@amytongwu Love Duo, 602 day streak & almost finished the course. One thing it doesn't solve for is actually learning to speak. More Duo stats (see https://t.co/Ki0tRn1cPu) would also be great. Users gaming the leaderboards can be frustrating.

[Dean Benjamin @Dean_Benjamin]

@Anzovina All the other clear issues aside (as they’ve been addressed very well), why is it still required for a man to give a get? The abuse it facilitates undermines many Jewish principles?

@ManUtd That was the San Francisco skyline. 🌁
