Building autonomous electric aircraft at Avol. Berkeley PhD. Huge nerd.

[Nate Poon @natepoon]

What a year for Avol. Closed our first contracts, launched medical delivery in 8 states, built 30+ aircraft, and raised an oversubscribed round led by @CultivationCap , @TimDraper with @yoheinakajima , @MorganSchwanke ,@C2cunningham, and others. We have some things in 2026 that we absolutely can't wait to show you guys. In 🇺🇸 you can just build things. Lfg.

@RaminNasibov MASS EFFECT.

I am saving this for later for obviously fun reasons.

China is testing EVs that eject their batteries in emergencies in order to promote driver safety.

@davidu @UlsterBOCES in NY (public school) is doing the work that an $80k private school isn't. I actually would prefer to send my kid to UB than most private schools i see in NY.

Absolutely EPIC views. View of a lifetime. Go Artemis go!!!

[Nova @NovaXSpace]

@NASA Enjoy the view🌕

[Nate Poon @natepoon]

@tobi The number of actual experts in the world is so much smaller than people think.

[Nate Poon @natepoon]

This is the only correct take on Artemis II.

[Libs of TikTok @libsoftiktok]

Kid just SMOKED a CNN reporter outside of Artemis II launch:

CNN: "Why do you want to be here?... Why do you love being a part of history?

Kid: "We're going back to the f*cking moon, that's why!" 🤣

[Nate Poon @natepoon]

For anyone wondering what the Artemis II mission is in 48 hours, here's a diagram from @NASA. Not landing on the moon, but a massive scientific accomplishment nonetheless. Go Artemis go!

It's the most awesome vibe grinding work in the office with the music going and no one around.

The people who mind don't matter, and the people who matter don't mind.

[Thomas Guthrie @realthomasgu]

Got a lot of hate recently for trying to make $100k in 100 days as a 15 year old.

I might seem delusional. I might seem "too young". But at least I'm giving this a shot while you grown ass keyboard warriors sit on the sidelines critisizing ambition.

Pathetic.

[Nate Poon @natepoon]

@realthomasgu Hell yeah man. Don't listen to the haters in the comments. Follow your dreams and pull them into reality. For every hater, there's 10 of us who you can hit up for help.

[Nate Poon @natepoon]

@elonmusk @beffjezos Yeah. I feel like that's one of the burdens of leadership: if it works, it's the team's proficiency. If it fails, it's my fault.

[Nate Poon @natepoon]

@nihalmehta @EniacVC @TechNYC @grok give the link to the publicly available official proposal, if available. Before I get skewered here by ppl on X, (I am a founder), this *does* sound bad but first principles is important.

[Nate Poon @natepoon]

@Rainmaker1973 Don't get confused. This is not a Chinese product - this is @KyberLabsRobots and they're in NY!

[Nate Poon @natepoon]

@samuel_spitz Weird physical world things are where it's at!

[Nate Poon @natepoon]

We will see this bias occur in many, many places over the next 5 years, and not necessarily to society's benefit.

50% of all relationship advice on Reddit is “leave.” 15 years of data, 52 million comments, and the trend line only goes one direction.

A researcher filtered r/relationship_advice down to 1,166,592 quality comments and tracked what people actually recommend. In 2010, “End Relationship” sat around 30%. By 2025, it’s approaching 50%.

“Communicate” dropped from 22% to 14%. “Compromise” collapsed from 7% to 3%. “Give Space” fell from 25% to 13%. Every category that requires patience lost ground every single year.

The one category growing faster than “leave” is “Seek Therapy,” which went from 1% to 6%. The subreddit is slowly learning to say “this is above my pay grade.”

Train a model on this dataset and it would absolutely tell people to break up. The training data is 50% “leave” and climbing. The model wouldn’t be broken. It would be accurately reflecting what 52 million commenters actually believe about your relationship.

A 50% prior that you should leave, a 14% prior that you should talk about it, and a 6% prior that you need a professional. That’s not LLM psychosis. That’s the median human opinion on your relationship, backed by the largest advice dataset ever assembled.

@amazingmap This is true for many places in the US and the world. Only practical option for delivery for a lot of the folks living there is to have things helicoptered in, or wait a really long time, drive themselves, or go without. Working to fix this.

[Nate Poon @natepoon]

@Nexuist lmao this is how you spell Leeeroyyy Jenkinnss in $USD

[Nate Poon @natepoon]

@soren_ma I remember the first videos of this! Awesome to see where you guys have gone.

[Nate Poon @natepoon]

@TerribleMaps LMAO this is awesome. It would also erase most major cities (NYC , London, LA, Shanghai) and according to gpt about 2-3B people but dude, at least no more bottleneck. 10/10 plan. And before I get skewered here - yes, this is sarcasm.

@etnshow @sequoia @JulienBek Not only software. Hardware too. It will be the best way to retain control of IP.
