Episode 2 of The New Feynman Lectures by @arenaphysica is live.

@JLopas, COO and Co-founder of @basepowerco, America's Power Company. Before co-founding Base, Justin led manufacturing at @anduriltech, and before that, led Starship manufacturing at @SpaceX.

In this episode, Justin takes us through how the modern grid works: synchronous generators, LMP as a grid sensor, congestion, net load, and why distributed batteries at the edge of the grid behave like virtual transmission.

@basepowerco is one of the most interesting hardware companies being built today, providing affordable home energy and backup through distributed battery storage. If you're curious about how the grid works, and how a distributed network of batteries can bring balance to it, Episode 2 is worth the watch.

@Houda_nait I really enjoyed the Kundera reference!

Victor Wembanyama dribbled a basketball up a dangerous mountain route in 4.5 hours (takes a normal person 7-8 hours to walk up it) while training with the monks, per @ramonashelburne

“One day he told Wembanyama to dribble a basketball up another dangerous mountain route to Sanhuangzhai, a monastery deep in the Song Mountains. The hike traversed cliffside plank paths, suspension bridges and ancient forests, and was five times as long as the one to Bodhidharma Cave. The trail forces you to climb roughly 2,500 feet in elevation across uneven ridges and stone.”

Work hard on things you think are interesting with people that you like.

There will always be lottery winners. Optimising your life around buying tickets is a pretty guaranteed way to end up unfulfilled.

Grep has become one of my favorite products because they care about design. I don't have patience for endless configuration so Grep handles it all for me:
- Personalized onboarding from screen one
- Deep research just works; no system prompts or sub-agents to set up
- Research to a deck/one-pager in one click

[AJ Asver @_aj]

When you use an AI tool for the first time, it doesn't understand you or your work. We're changing that with the latest version of @Grepdotai.

At onboarding, with your opt-in, Grep uses its deep research to build a profile about you that it then remembers for future interactions.

@vik_rama @A_StarVC Congrats Vik!

[Abdul @lymusing]

This is why we at @initialized are proud of the work @Permitflow is doing https://t.co/grcu4BHUZs

[Eren Bali @erenbali]

Who is building an AI agent that can pull permit / zoning rules by address (including city/county/state restrictions) and answer questions.

If nobody has done thus it’s a $$$$ opportunity

[Abdul @lymusing]

@erenbali Check out @Permitflow and connect with @fthumpasery and @Samuelklam. They are serving builders across residential and commercial all over the country! @Initialized @ycombinator @kleinerperkins @altosvc and @Accel are proud investors!

@contraben Very cool. Congrats on launching this Ben! Excited to explore

Construction is facing labor shortages and productivity stagnation. The startup Crewline wants to solve those problems with autonomous machinery. https://t.co/XJgnBkxFZm

[Arena Physica @arenaphysica]

Introducing Heaviside, a new class of deep learning model for physics which understands the fundamental relationship between materials, the geometries, and the electromagnetic fields they generate.

[Natalie Fratto @NatalieFratto]

One of these things is not like the other…

The other day @PratapRanade brought home 3 RF circuits. Ok “10GHz band pass-filters” he says, to be precise. The first two are human-made, the third is what they’re calling “an alien geometry” 👾

Look how funky it is.

That’s the world’s first-ever AI-made RF circuit achieved by the electromagnetism foundation model @arenaphysica.

No human would have created it this way. It’s odd, it looks random, but it really works & it might be the future guts inside every satellite, radar, microwave etc one day.

[Packy McCormick @packyM]

The first RF circuit designed fully autonomously from a text prompt.

[Abdul @lymusing]

@_i_am_arya Congrats on the launch! Can’t wait for the world to see what you’ve been cooking

[Pratap Ranade @PratapRanade]

Incredibly excited to introduce Heaviside, our foundation model for electromagnetism. Try it out

[Arya Hezarkhani @_i_am_arya]

Today, we're announcing Heaviside, our foundation model for electromagnetism.

Trained on tens of millions of designs and over 20 years of proprietary simulation data, Heaviside predicts electromagnetic behavior from geometry in 13ms, which is 800,000x faster than a commercial solver.

Heaviside is not a language model, and it’s not a surrogate model. Heaviside marks a new class of foundation model for physics which understands the fundamental relationships between materials, the geometries and the electromagnetic fields they generate.

We’re releasing a research preview of Heaviside in Atlas RF Studio, an interactive agentic sandbox where you describe the EM behavior you want and the model generates the physical structure that produces it.

@arenaphysica , we believe the implications of this class of model extend well beyond RF, as the frontier of exquisite hardware is electromagnetically-governed: wireless communication, radar, power delivery, high-speed computing, and the interconnects inside every chip on earth.

In the months ahead, we’re excited to scale up Heaviside to broader frequency ranges, design spaces, and to support silicon-level designs, and deploy it with our closest partners and collaborators in service of their biggest design challenges.

If you’ve read our thesis, this is just Step 2 in our pursuit of electromagnetic superintelligence.

Read the full announcement and try Atlas RF Studio…tell us what you think: https://t.co/oCOsJQvF1h
