Starlink V3 satellites have >10X bandwidth of V2 and there’ll be >10X launched, which means >100X more bandwidth.

Also, altitude will be 350km vs 550km, so min latency can be cut in half.

Light travels 300km/ms in space, so physics round trip min latency drops to <5ms.

We are announcing today that The American Revolution will stream for free in its entirety on all PBS platforms from May 25th through July 12. Hope you have a chance to watch, ideally with friends and family, as you think about our 250th anniversary this July 4th. https://t.co/c8fc6Sldj5

This is a once-in-human-history moment. Rethink how you spend time. Rethink how you spend money. Whatever you do, don't stay stuck or frozen in the past.

The US Department of Energy just mapped every data center in America.

This is what the AI power grid looks like.

The dots are data centers.
Yellow = operating.
Orange = under construction.
White = planned.

The lines are high-voltage transmission 735kV, 500kV, 345kV the arteries that move electrons from generators to compute loads.

Look at the density along the East Coast, Northern Virginia to the Carolinas.
Then look at Texas.
Then Northern California.

The largest circles on this map represent facilities demanding over 5,000 MW of power.

Single campuses pulling more electricity than mid-sized cities.

Northern Virginia is so dense the dots overlap.

Data centers cluster on transmission corridors.
Not because land is cheap because power is available.

When the line is full, the next data center goes somewhere else.

The grid is the bottleneck.

Every orange dot is a power purchase agreement being negotiated right now.

Every white dot is a utility commission filing, a gas plant approval, a pipeline capacity booking.

The $66.8 bn NextEra-Dominion deal, Meta's 10 new gas plants in Louisiana, the Alaska LNG FID push they all trace back to maps that look like this.

AI infrastructure is built in substations, on transmission corridors, and at the end of gas pipelines.

@mattshumer_ This little gadget you can plug into your MacBook too and or your Mac mini and it keeps it running all the time because it thinks it’s got a monitor attached https://t.co/hYd7yIvbJx

@mattshumer_ I just did the exact same thing after 45 days of updating open claw every single day to try and do what Codex App and the remote IOs app now do flawlessly

[Paul Helmick @paulhelmick]

I got so frustrated with my MacBook falling asleep - someone told me to get one of these plugs - guess it tricks the MacBook into thinking there’s a screen on it and then it runs all the time even with the lid closed - Codex App on 24/7 - it’s been a game changer.

Tech Is Challenging Degrees as a Proxy for Competence

Relying on degrees to signal capability is becoming a weaker hiring shortcut as technology makes skills easier to verify directly.

We are assembling AGI in plain sight

Some basic user interface organizing tools when it comes to projects.

We're running the $200/month plan. We have a projects folder on our drive and a clients folder on our drive.

There are probably 200 different projects and 40 different client folders. At any given point in time, we're working on 4 to 5 things with Codex.

It’s pretty easy to drag them to the top or pin them so they're right there.

It'd be really cool if there was a little app-level folder (not a hard drive folder) that I could put all the projects into and collapse it. The same thing with clients: vs having 200 (or even 50) in the sidebar.

When you open any of those groups, having a little alphabetical sort (we're all pretty good at our folder names) or a most recent sort would make moving around so much helpful.

It's frustrating to move at the speed of thought with Codex and then have to slow down just to visually scan 50 folders to figure out which one you want to hop into. They're not alphabetized, and they're clustered out of context with all the other stuff.

That's just a user interface tweak that someone could probably solve in a day or two, but it'd be really helpful for anybody using this for real work with more than a few projects.

It feels great to work in a Codex project, with all of your files and context, and effortless creation of artifacts. You're in a heavy flow state, just getting work done.

Then you leave your computer and be out on the road with your phone, and there's almost a hesitation now to start a discussion in ChatGPT. Because it's difficult to come back and move that session context back over into Codex, where you can actually use it.

It feels like two different systems, where it's just trapped. You can do a bunch of copy and paste, but that's really hard.

It'd be helpful if there was a little bit more interconnection so you could start thoughts on the road and bring them back easier into your project.
