This is a new paradigm for interacting with Claude that is significantly more "inline" with all the other human activity org-wide. Once you do all of the under the hood engineering work to make this "just work" (e.g. across tools, integrations, compute environments, memory, security, etc.), Claude basically joins the team in a seamless way - you can talk to it as you would talk to a person and it can help with a very large variety of workloads.

Imo this is the 3rd major redesign of LLM UIUX. The first paradigm was that the LLM is a website you go to, the second was that it is an app you download to your computer. This third one is that it is a self-contained, persistent, asynchronous entity with org-wide tools and context, working alongside teams of humans. It really takes a while to wrap your head around it, but it works and it is awesome.

This brings me back to my late nights in school, trying to solve the same problem with hardware instead. Seeing it done through a camera is a much more elegant form factor. The UX tradeoff is still the hardest part, but it already beats our little vibration alert. How cool!

LACI startup @TbmDesigns' InVert self-shading window system won the 2021 National Design Award for Climate Action from @cooperhewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum! Their "smart" products make buildings energy efficient AND beautiful while considering planet and human wellness. 🪟🌎

Excited to see where this technology goes 👏🏼

[Mike Schroepfer @schrep]

Here’s some mind-blowing technology being developed by @boztank and his team for our AR glasses: wrist-based sensors that let you control devices using the same electrical motor nerve signals you use to move your hands

What an innovative idea @SeaborgTech!

[John Quakes @quakes99]

Floating barges fitted with advanced #nuclear reactors could begin powering developing nations by the mid-2020s, according to #Danish startup Seaborg Technologies who plan to build a fleet of 100MW molten salt reactor floating power plants. 🚢⚛️🌞 #Uranium https://t.co/WbQEeblOmE

Did you know nitrous oxide, a gas formed when nitrogen is applied to crops, and methane, which comes from livestock and rice cultivation account 98% of #agriculture's #carbonfootprint? Let's have more #agtech #startups!

Congratulations to FLITE Material Sciences! Excited to be a judge this week at the @COCleantech Oil & Gas Challenge and see #cleantech solutions that mitigate methane and provide sustainable power.

[Stan Pence @PencerStan]

Canada's FLITE Material Sciences (Montreal) takes top prize at 2020 Oil/Gas Challenge in Denver today. FLITE's laser-based tech changes surface topology of materials (metal, ceramics, plastics...) making them attract/repel water and oil - without chemical coatings! @CanCGDenver

Excited to hear about @AmpaireInc and their latest news! Pioneering new #electric #aircraft designs is taking #airtravel to a whole new level.

865K women exiting the workforce in one month is perhaps the long term-impactful economic story of the year, period. Why are only podcasts/outlets aimed at women/moms inviting me to talk about it?

[Y Combinator @ycombinator]

The world needs more women-led companies. On November 18, join us for our first Future Founder Conference -- a virtual event for women globally, and learn how to start a startup from inspiring entrepreneurs: https://t.co/HUfi7ERTo8

#Infarm raises $170M in equity and debt to continue building its ‘vertical farming’ network.

Its modular, #IoT vertical farming units claim to use 99.5% less space than soil-based agriculture, 95% less water, 90% less transport and zero chemical pesticides.

Refrigerants are up to 10,000 times more potent than CO2! Even though newer safer refrigerants are being used today, refrigerants are sitting in small tanks around the US. Listen to the @planetmoney episode to learn how one company is making a difference! #ClimateChange

[NPR's Planet Money @planetmoney]

There are tanks all around the U.S. that are like little climate change time bombs. Tim and Gabe are on a mission to get to these tanks before they go off -- and defuse them. And you can actually get paid for it @how2saveaplanet

Ok this is one of these ideas that’s either absolutely brilliant or really stupid:

Instead of getting multiple security cameras… get 1 that flies around your house 🤔
