i like automating things. prev built robots for construction, micromobility and few others.

[Naveen @naveen_ing]

just wanted to pop in and give a shoutout to @saba_khalilnaji (@almond_robotics).

shared a specific feedback with them at 9:30pm and they shipped an update by 11:30pm. on a sunday. over a long weekend.

big fan of the team and the product.

[Naveen @naveen_ing]

crazy work to list this in the resume.

gutsy alright

[Naveen @naveen_ing]

@davidliuxyz wtf!

[Naveen @naveen_ing]

@saba_khalilnaji parts for axol will now be even quicker ;)

[Naveen @naveen_ing]

what’s better than one CNC?

two CNCs!

new machine day might be the closest thing adults get to christmas morning.

machining capacity: doubled.

[Naveen @naveen_ing]

uber’d the final package for this order.

it was close to 100 parts for 30+ designs.

these parts will bring two new robots to life.

going to take the learnings from this, streamline the process and support more hardware teams.

[Naveen @naveen_ing]

me early in the week:

> i need to get more orders.

me waking up on saturday morning:

> shit! i’m booked solid all of next week.

we’re building 🏭 factories that never sleep.

[Naveen @naveen_ing]

can you get machined parts in under an hour?

yes*

@kushbhuwalka machined parts + 🤖 = 🦾

A new machine shop is born in Emeryville! Got the very first part off this brand new Datron. Order your aluminum parts here: https://t.co/bx2jHg8PWx

weekend activities include

- making parts ✅
- inadvertently inhaling coolant fumes ✅
- finding emergency diesel refueling trucks to get the generator topped up. ✅
- even more parts ⏳

[Naveen @naveen_ing]

something like this? 😉

if you’re building a services company, find a way to productize and build a dominos pizza tracker for your customers

[Naveen @naveen_ing]

didn’t even log in here for a few months now - it was peaceful to be frank.

turned on the firehose today, but the new timeline looks sane compared to when I left.

lots to catch up on and update about.

gotta go faster

[Naveen @naveen_ing]

only way to do it.

Friendly reminder that you don’t actually have to run heavy AI workloads on the laptop in your hands

You can just Tailscale / SSH into a machine with an RTX PRO 6000 somewhere else

Your battery, thermals, fans, and lap will appreciate that arrangement

[Naveen @naveen_ing]

love a good factory visit

[Naveen @naveen_ing]

first blogpost in a while is being written on this.

[Naveen @naveen_ing]

been struggling to finish any of my long form drafts. diagnosed what my issue was. it’s the text editor. I don’t like any of them.

so I’m doing the only logical thing to solve this by building my own markdown editor.

maybe the first post back should be about this.

[Naveen @naveen_ing]

sneak peek

[Naveen @naveen_ing]

spent the last two days putting together a massive list (over 40,000) of all machine and fab shops in the us.

176 columns now.

additionally a separate list with 38,000+ warehouses and 231 columns.

the scrapping will continue until morale improves.

the trick is to use the x for mac app. it’s shitty which also means it doesn’t re-render the timeline after you’ve open the app.

[Farmer @bowtiedfarmer]

Show him a banger when he opens the app and then make it disappear
