If you're a founder lucky enough to get to work with @schrep grab the opportunity with both hands.

@typesfast They do but for some reason I can't understand you have to have the UK app store version of the Starbucks app. US version can't order at UK Starbucks. It's lame.

@joinshiftX I sincerely hope egocentric video alone is enough to achieve competent robotics models… otherwise this data is going to prove to have been very expensive

[Mark Trefgarne @trefgarne]

AI is undoubtedly going to rewire the entire economy and unleash massive productivity growth, but it’s also possible for markets to get ahead of themselves… both can be true.

Remember how big both Meta and Apple bet on AR/VR. Turns out predicting the future is hard.

@maria1 @mattyven I have no idea what’s going on. All I see is videos of dots in the sky.

@ShenyuanGao @chris_j_paxton @micoolcho @RoboPapers @willjhliang @ayaannmalik @jang_yoel @yukez @DrJimFan This is incredible work @ShenyuanGao. If robotics should learn anything from LLMs, it’s that scaling data matters

@ashkan @NathanThomas456 @watchmojo @youtube Gentlemen, can I just say how much this thread made me smile. Thank you for your kind words.

[Mark Trefgarne @trefgarne]

Partnering with Neros… 💪🏼

[CX2 @CX2_Industries]

CX2 is partnering with @neros_tech to accelerate counter-UAS capabilities for U.S. and allied operators.

CX2's Vadris RF-seeking payload.

Neros’ Archer FPV platform.

One integrated, field-ready solution that finds, tracks, and orients towards threat UAS control sources. No integration burden, no delay. The threat is scaling fast. Operators need systems that scale faster.

Trump did this

How can you possibly protest this?

I spent two years in culinary school at Le Cordon Bleu in London and the Ritz in Paris, then worked in Michelin-starred kitchens (even under Daniel Humm at Claridge’s)… and still this mf checks on what I’m doing like he’s the better cook.

Stay in your lane @trefgarne. Go build a drone or something.

Introducing Wraith. Our new radio detection system designed to find and classify signals on the battlefield… and today, everything gives off a signal.

[CX2 @CX2_Industries]

Wraith is an autonomous EW platform built for dense, hostile and GPS-denied radio environments. It detects, identifies and pinpoints the emitters driving the fight, supplying warfighters with real-time spectrum awareness and actionable targeting information to seize control of the electromagnetic battlespace.

@Waymo Now that it’s approved, when do you think the full Bay Area rollout can actually start happening?

…Please say “immediately”… 🙏
