‘Historical change is like an avalanche. All changes take place under the surface and are rather invisible.’



Today, we unveiled our completed Critical Test Reactor facility. We will be turning this reactor on (a “zero power criticality”) well before July 4th! This is a commercial-scale system with enough fuel to produce 10 MW of electricity, and will someday soon power a co-located data center from one of our partners. Here’s what people saw today at our ribbon cutting: ✅ Reactor vessel ✅ Graphite as moderator ✅ Instrumentation and control ✅ Concrete shielding ✅ Building with crane ✅ Control room All designed and built by Aalo. And the nuclear fuel will be arriving any day now. One last step remains: the final DOE approval to turn the reactor on, which we expect to receive soon. DOE has been an incredible partner in this 2.5 year journey, working hard to support a number of companies pushing to advance US nuclear energy. Follow us to be the first to know when we turn this reactor on!










Does anyone wanna teach kids extremely advanced Factorio for $200/hr?? $100/hr if you’re great at the game but don’t have an engineering background $200/hr if you studied industrial engineering or similar

Implementation of universal school choice can be rapid or measured. Many states have used lengthy phase-in processes, as well as self-imposed enrollment or spending caps, to provide budget predictability and ensure sustainability. Public school students who use an ESA (Education Savings Account) to attend private school would be budget neutral to the state. Even in states with universal school choice, only about 21% of private school or home school students participate in the program in the first year. Therefore, in Mississippi, using the most recent average state spending per student number ($6,800), we can calculate that the additional cost to the state would be about $90 million. Certainly not an insignificant number, but that is only about 3% of state spending on K-12 education. Mississippi continues to maintain a strong fiscal and financial position. The latest revenue estimate report shows collections up $45.7 million for the month and $69.9 million over estimate for the fiscal year to date.

@BBCNews followed one of the patients at @Moorfields in London who participated in our landmark clinical trial of PRIMA. She began losing her sight more than three decades ago due to age-related macular degeneration. Now she can read again for the first time in years. @NEJM published the results of this trial yesterday in a new peer-reviewed original paper.

Excited to announce Starbridge has raised a $42M Series A led by Craft. Building in the public sector is sexy again and we're building the go-to-market & infrastructure platform behind it. LFG!!!

The New England Journal of Medicine (@NEJM) today published a peer-reviewed original paper with the results of a landmark clinical trial of our PRIMA brain-computer interface (BCI) retinal implant.

Every family deserves the freedom to choose the best education for their child. Odyssey is proud to partner with the Texas Comptroller’s Office to launch the Texas Education Freedom Accounts and make that vision a reality.
