@djkesu1 How’d you know

[Pranav Vadde @PKVadde]

@sudoredj I gotcha man

[Pranav Vadde @PKVadde]

My last week of @enter_delta might be considered a failure by some, but for me it was invaluable.

I didn't sell anything or launch officially. But what I did get was a clearer idea of what my goals are for the next week, month, semester, and year. I met a community of builders to work with and got started with something I've been mulling over for the past 4 months.

This 3 week sprint was just a starting point. I'm looking ahead to the 3 year hardware marathon.

We got to the start line, now it's time to accelerate.

Little bit of a slower week for @enter_delta, but still got some good work done

- Met with engineers at aero companies, talked to professors, and did some market research to validate my initial idea 📰
- Started work on the first iteration of my Minimum Viable Thing (below) 🖥️⚡️

It's not much of anything yet—more like a test—but that's how every great thing starts.
I'm gonna full send next week and every week after that. One day at a time 🚀

fancy one liner template from @enter_delta for yall to appreciate

So it's been a wild few months...

I had a great time at the @auglab this summer, working on navigation systems for mars rovers.

Now, as part of @enter_delta, I'm building an end-to-end computing platform, automating spacecraft control and decision making for an expanding space industry.

I've seen a lot of amazing work over the past several days
It's time to get moving, innovating, and inspiring each other
Excited to work towards something insane and change the world

(let me know if you wanna talk space tech! Feedback much appreciated)

With our residents arrived, we are incredibly excited to begin the 2025 summer rendition of Augmentation Lab.

This year's cohort is a talent-dense mix of academics, scientists, designers, & engineers... & 1 bearded dragon.

Built something insanely useful for automated PDF generation

Comes with API access too

Free to start, no card needed!

[Pranav Vadde @PKVadde]

Sales is wild. It’s fun to explain your product as a technical founder while the demo is actively breaking.

Still got interest.

[Pranav Vadde @PKVadde]

Always a great day when APIs decide to take a nap 😴

Cooking with @getinstachip

[Pranav Vadde @PKVadde]

My sleep schedule is now fully all nighters. Who needs daylight when IDEs are clearer in the dark anyway.

[Sathvik Redrouthu @_sathvikr]

you've heard of software agents, but have you ever seen a hardware agent?

at @getinstachip, our hardware agents can design complex circuits autonomously.

on a whim, I asked one of our agents to solve Problem 155 from HDLBits 👇

big update in ~2 weeks 🍓🍓🍓

[Sathvik Redrouthu @_sathvikr]

got back from @openai just now—really excited to see o1 improve drastically.

also excited to announce that @getinstachip's circuit design capabilities are now powered by the o1 series!

an example: generating a README for your .v or .sv module 👇👇 (https://t.co/nQpp67N4LH)

Embedding thousands of chip designs…

[Pranav Vadde @PKVadde]

One of my favorite things about San Francisco so far is the blazing speed. Lower latency to access great people and resources makes a world of difference when working on new ideas.
