Governments doing business: “It’s bizarre that they announce all these contracts with the tank makers first and then decide to buy a stake after inflating the share price,” he said. “It’s like the opposite of a pump and dump scheme: pump and buy.” says @MSchularick

Sport ist eines der passfähigsten Instrumente, um Kindern frühzeitig jene Resilienz näher zu bringen, die in der heutigen und zukünftigen Welt so dringend benötigt wird.

"So, in fact, one of us is building radio transmitters while the other is daubing mammoths on cave walls with red ochre. Contact relies on two worlds developing identical technology, with a delay that accounts for the light years between us."

And so we remain alone.

"For many business executives, a worst-case scenario would be a conflict between China and Taiwan, which would almost certainly lead to the closure of the Taiwan Strait, through which a fifth of global maritime trade passes."

[Florian Resch @flo_resch]

"disruptions at maritime chokepoints affected about $190bn of trade each year, causing economic losses of $14bn, according to estimates by researchers at Oxford university."

Foundation models but for agriculture robots! 🚜

The bottleneck in outdoor autonomy has always been code.

Hundreds of thousands of lines of deterministic, brittle, hand-written code.

Every new crop variety, every new environment, every variation in light or weather meant someone had to write more rules. The machine was only as smart as the last programmer who touched it.

The core limitation wasn't sensing the environment, it was building systems that could generalize across environments without rewriting the software stack every time conditions changed.

@bonsai_robotics foundation model doesn't operate on rules. It perceives the way a human perceives. Using learned world models and bird's-eye-view representations, the system predicts occupancy, elevation, object structure, and navigable space directly from monocular camera input.

It works across crops. It works across machines. It works in conditions that no programmer explicitly anticipated because the system learns environmental structure instead of relying on handcrafted rules.

No two fields are the same, no two days are the same, and no amount of hand-coded logic was ever going to get us to true scale.

The cost of deploying autonomy just dropped dramatically.

This is the foundation model era of agriculture.

I built something that finally gives agents the option to see and measure the physical world, reason within it, and accelerate your business with better and faster decisions.

Pulling out insights from 3D data and cross-referencing across data silos, completely automating all the steps.
From point cloud to the sent pick-up price, date, and picking the best buyer.

If you have other companies our agent should integrate with, tell me!

"Laut einer Erhebung der Finanzaufsicht Bafin investierten Pensionskassen zumindest Ende 2023 im Durchschnitt weniger als ein Prozent im Bereich Wagniskapital. Aktuellere Daten gibt es bisher nicht. Die Tendenz damals: rückläufig."
