Do you want to win defense contracts like @anduriltech does? Partnering with @DiracInc can help.

@carlbass Looks great Carl!

Just finishing new side table

@Sethwinterroth True

This is why the idea of a “chat gpt moment for robotics” is laughable

For the past several years I’ve been calling this the “Middle-Volume Valley of Death”

We @DiracInc are building a world where 1 Manufacturing Engineer will be able to automatically configure an entire 10,000+ SKU factory.

Lately I've been seeing a very interesting major shift. Large, man-made things that used to be designed and build-planned like they’re architecture are being moved to be designed and built like manufactured products: Ships and data centers. Historically, these systems were "architected". What does that mean? For the sake of brevity, I'm going to be overly reductive. There are 4 major "CAD" companies that people use to design and plan "big assemblies with lots of parts". 3 focus on manufacturing (Siemens, PTC, Dassault -- actual CAD), 1 focuses on architecture (Autodesk -- called BIM). Historically, ships were "architected". To this day, the person who is responsible for the design and manages the build of a ship and submarine is called a "Naval Architect". When software came along, ships mostly either stayed on paper (ouch!) or made their way into the same software as buildings -- architecture-oriented CAD (BIM). Similarly, the way data centers have been designed and planned were as buildings. This is somewhat understandable if you consider them to be one-offs, as they've often historically been. Thus, they too have lived entirely in the BIM/architecture world -- until now. We're seeing two massive surges occur simultaneously: the AI boom demanding more more more data centers, and the defense boom demanding more more more ships. To go from bespoke build (architecture) to modular, repeatable, scaled production, I've been seeing data center companies and maritime companies make a massive push: All of them are migrating all of their designs away from BIM/architecture software (Autodesk) and onto manufacturing software (Siemens, PTC, Dassault). We're seeing a migration away from a "bespoke, architected" built world to a more "modular, repeatable, scalable" built world. To achieve the scale of product volume that their customers now demand, companies building ships and data centers have now moved to standardize and modularize their products so they can achieve economies of scale, allowing their systems and subsystems to be mass manufactured with consistency and reliability across different locations. This is needed so that they can be built quickly, repeatably, with the expectation that their subsystems have reliable interoperability and composability.

Running a high-intensity company is way easier when you lift heavy weights, particularly in the morning. “Oh boy all these enterprise deployments … oh no we need to scale yada yada …” “Man, I was almost crushed by hundreds of pounds of metal this morning. We’ll be fine”

@jacobandreou @mustafasuleyman @satyanadella Beast. Congrats!

Starting a new chapter today and stepping in to bring Consumer and Commercial Copilot together into one org. One team, one product, one experience. Grateful to @mustafasuleyman and @satyanadella for the opportunity. Let's build.

There are no silver bullets, only many lead ones

Nothing quite like opening a window on the 47th floor of the Empire State Building on a windy day

@JoshuaKDominic Via United? I’d rather walk

@FilArons Eh. Easier to go via newark tho.

Oh boy. Good thing Delta just added that JFK->SNA direct flight

👀

Reshoring and Reskilling. It’s time to Build

@MollySOShea @DavidBaszucki The Builderman himself

@sonofalli We @DiracInc are in the Empire State Building!

what startups have the coolest offices in NYC?

"The way that we look at what we're building as a company, as a team, as a platform is that we are building the high-speed rail for the modern American manufacturer, and this is the track." -@FilArons, CEO of @DiracInc at Reind 2.0
