Burn the boats. We won’t need them anymore.

Rare earth magnets sit inside nearly every electric motor, but 90% of the material is conventionally thrown away.

Mass Magnetics (S26) is recycling magnets from EV motors into new ones for robotics and defense, avoiding much of the capital-intensive refining required by mining.

@emm0sh g strut is as close to that sun anyone competent flies

@JasonPremoMFG I feel like there are evermore morons seeking instant quote and technical support as us rebuilds

@83dollaroring everything I’ve ever done in Chemsitry, work school or otherwise. Love it though.

Ladies and gentlemen. I present to you: the great filter.

Gene therapies can be delivered in a protein shell called a capsid. Mythos 5.2 found a new way to predict a whole capsid’s structure.

In our tests, it accurately modeled 28 of the 34 capsids it attempted. Biologists could use it to design capsids faster and more cheaply.

@therobstoddard @BurnZeZ @i2cjak I know a guy that made an FDM filament he prints with his bambu in his garage. It’s super high conductivity and hes even embedded circuits fully inside of prints.

He’s struggling, been dying for a use case for a long time.

@_baldtires It’s the worst

@i2cjak I took that personally

@jlcjak @BackplaneWorks If you want borrow a 1200A current controlled DC power supply, you can come to Boston anytime.

@coltonblack this never, ever happened circa 2019. Even Chinese new year there would be at least a check-in.

The power is shifting.

any groundbreaking tech has to be bootstrapped from pleb commodity inputs and outputs.

pleb unit economics help make cool doohickey pencil.

People laugh when they hear me obsessing over kitchen appliance design but if you're looking for best practices for scaling tech across society you really can't beat the infrastructure of food.

[lepton @metalscontent]

@ChristopherMH11 yup. Agreed.

@__el__toro__ You should look into the gas foil bearings not just the permeable ones. Truly black magic.

ISS uses them for air scrubbing circulators. Insane to think this turbos have done trillions of rotations since the 90s and still spinning up there.

[lepton @metalscontent]

@__el__toro__ oil-free, affordable, custom turbo machinery designed for chem-grade argon

[Generalist @GeneralistAI]

Even thinner O-rings.

These tasks test dexterity and the ability of the models to perceive fine-grained millimeter-scale details.

BREAKING: @Atomarine_co, which is developing floating data centers powered by nuclear energy, has secured a $19M seed round.
