general partner @201vc_, looking for phds who can win a bar fight

[Eric Slesinger @ericsles]

Today I’m proud to introduce 201 Ventures (@201vc_) — a new firm advancing freedom and autonomy in Europe.

We back PhDs who can win a bar fight.

if you are a wizard with vector tiles and are called to the seas, look no further:

At @zydromarine we love pushing the limits of maritime geospatial data in the browser.

Pictured: our recent work visualizing charts, bathymetry, subsea perception & more... pushing the boundaries of what you can do with vector tiles

If this seems cool, we're hiring! (below)

@FDavidsonT Yes please!

TIL that Škoda made a bicycle bell that can cut through ANC headphones.

Most ANC systems use adaptive filtering (like LMS) at a very basic level, it models the incoming noise and generate an anti-phase signal to cancel it. Works best for steady and predictable sounds.

Škoda's research found that around 750 - 780Hz ANC struggles a lot so they made their bell to target this particular frequency

they added irregular, transient dual tones that are hard to model in real time

this comes from a dual-resonator design : one tuned to ~750-780 Hz (ANC weak spot) using a cantilever tine, and another at higher frequencies (~2 KHz+) like a normal bell, so it’s not a single clean tone

So instead of being louder, it’s just… harder to cancel.

Pretty neat example of exploiting system limitations with pure analog design.

Consistency, service after service, is the mark of an excellent saucier.

Listen to Ripert talking about catching the blossoming and fading of flavors.

[Eric Ripert @ericripert]

There’s something almost mystical about the sauce station. At Le Bernardin, our sauciers make 30 sauces a day, twice a day, guided by taste and feel rather than precise measurements. Listen in on a meeting about the craft of the sauce station.

Wanted: Claude Dataroom.

In static mode, it's just a better Docsend. In Claude mode, I'd talk to the entire dataroom: extend or modify financials, query legal docs, create my own FAQs/tearsheets based on things Claude knows I care about.

Company gets way better analytics: "here's how viewers are talking to your dataroom, so you may just want to address these topics head on."

1. Add two zeros to the number.
2. Make it money on contract, not grants.
3. Use it only for 5 specific, named needs:

- air defense
- subsurface intel
- high-north training
- critical infra protection
- new interoperable mil standards

Folks up at Ft. Meade for sure picking up the phone asking Pentagon to cool it on Dario right now.

Introducing Project Glasswing: an urgent initiative to help secure the world’s most critical software.

It’s powered by our newest frontier model, Claude Mythos Preview, which can find software vulnerabilities better than all but the most skilled humans.

I’ve learned so much from @nathanbenaich - leading the way and setting the bar for solo gp firms. $232M…that’s a lotta tokens.

[Nathan Benaich @nathanbenaich]

News! @airstreet has raised $232,323,232 for Fund III to back AI-first companies from the earliest stages in the US and Europe.

Now the largest solo GP venture firm in Europe.

Our third epoch begins today. Join us!

@MichelleVolz let's go!!

[Alexander Fitzgerald @AFitzgerald1992]

Today @IsembardGroup announces our $50m Series A. More factories, more engineers, more countries. If not now, when...

The future of Electronic Warfare is unmanned

Delian Alliance Industries (@delian_ai) and Polar Mist Technologies (@polarmistai) have signed a Collaboration Agreement to strengthen European autonomous counter-drone architecture in the maritime domain by integrating Delian’s EW CUAS solution onto Polar Mist’s USV.

This collaboration brings two complementary systems together.

* Polar Mist’s unique USV system designed for ease of manufacturing and flexible payloads

* Delian’s ‘smart jamming’ tactical capabilities through its M4K15 platform

The future of warfare will be dominated by unmanned systems. Projecting tactical EW capabilities at mass scale without exposing a human operator or manned platforms to direct risk will be a critical differentiator, unlocking new and innovative deterrence tactics for the West and its allies.

1/ Europe can lead in hypersonics - if it builds differently and builds faster. That’s why I led @pluralplatform’s investment into @HypersonicaGmbH’s €23 million Series A
