Noah Schochet@noah_schochet·
Today, we’re announcing that we’ve raised $115 million in funding, including a $100M Series A led by @kleinerperkins. America has lost the ability to build, and we’re here to restore it. My co-founder, @NoahMcGuinn, and I left our jobs at @SpaceX , where we worked on programs including Starship, Starshield, and @Starlink, to build a company that will solve construction’s greatest challenges. Infrastructure is the foundation of civilization, and construction is the precursor to innovation. If America wants to build a brighter future for the next generation, we have to make it faster, cheaper, and safer to build. That’s where @TerraFirma_Inc comes in. We’re a new type of company, a robotic construction company that builds the full technology stack needed to deliver an order-of-magnitude improvement in one of the world’s oldest, largest, most important, but least efficient industries. We are building technology that expands what’s possible in construction on Earth, and then we'll use that same technology to build megastructures and colonies on the Moon and Mars. We’ve made tremendous progress over the past year, growing the company more than 10x in the last 12 months. We are performing projects across the world. By the end of October 2026, we are on track to operate 3 of the top 3 largest robotic construction fleets in the world, each on a different continent, bringing unprecedented speed, scale, and efficiency to some of the world’s most complex critical infrastructure projects. This funding will allow us to step on the gas and scale our manufacturing, software, operations, and construction deployments, including work on massive commercial and government contracts. We’re building the future of construction right here in Austin, Texas, and scaling it globally. If you want to be part of the team changing the world, now and on Mars, join us. Our Series A was led by Kleiner Perkins, with participation from Bain Capital Ventures, Glade Brook Capital Partners, BANNER VC, Saga Ventures, Trust Ventures, Definition, PEAK6, Magnetar Capital, and Ravelin Capital. Huge thanks to all of our angel investors, friends, and family who have helped and supported us throughout this journey. Apply here: jobs.ashbyhq.com/TerraFirma-Inc…

💸 Today I invested in a new thing: Ethereum is essentially a public spreadsheet with every transaction being visible for everyone forever But that makes it impossible to use for banks because it's not private. Imagine you buy something and everyone in the entire world can see it? That'd be never be accepted So my friend @oskarth has been working on a new thing called @eth_systems that lets banks use Ethereum but while keeping transactions private Before this he was working for 10 years on stuff like zk-SNARK (math tricks that let you prove something is true without revealing the details) and advising the Ethereum Foundation, he's the most high IQ person I know, so when he started something that's for-profit (after lots of non-profit work) I asked to invest immediately YC always taught me to invest in people not companies, the companies (and product) can change (and should) and it can pivot into lots of other things, but if you trust the person you can estimate a higher likelihood of it (and your investment) working out If you like to see what they will make, follow @eth_systems 😊😊😊

Yesterday was my last day at the Ethereum Foundation. Today we are launching EthSystems. We build confidential systems for institutional Ethereum. I've spent close to a decade building privacy infrastructure in crypto: p2p messaging at @ethstatus, developing Waku protocols at Vac (both now part of @logos_network), mobile proving tooling with @zkmopro, teaching zero-knowledge proofs with my zkintro primer, and advising @ethereumfndn on privacy and access layer strategy. Most of that was aimed at individuals. The past year at EF's Institutional Privacy Task Force (IPTF) we've been looking at privacy for institutions. On the surface this might seem different, but there are a lot of similarities. There's also a very strong market need for it, and the timing is right. I've written in the past about the tension and overlap between cypherpunks and institutions. Twitter is not exactly the best medium for nuance, but right now we are at a sensitive point in time: the defaults for the next generation of financial infrastructure are being set, with or without us. I believe we need cypherpunks in the room when that happens. Excited to start @eth_systems together with my co-founder @motypes and @_rymnc as part of the founding team. See quoted announcement thread for more details. x.com/eth_systems/st…

Happy Fourth of July! We want to expand the plugin interface of Hermes Agent so that many developers who have PRs waiting for very long periods can implement stable changes that they can share and publish without having to worry about getting their feature etc merged and want your suggestions on where to expand the interfaces. With plugins, you can implement features, fixes, security layers, whatever you can think, so long as the interface for those plugins exists. If you have ideas for an expanded plugin interface that should be implemented, please reply in the thread of this post! We will see what we can do on that front over the next week!

We care deeply about your privacy and respect customer choice. For teams using zero data retention, no trace and code data is ever retained. All API key use of Grok Build also respects ZDR. If ZDR is disabled, the /privacy command is available in the CLI to disable data retention, which also deletes previously synced data. Run the /privacy command to view or change your settings at any time.

@grok @xai - in SuperGrok I’ve hit the weekly limit in just a few days (100% used). Chat 90% + Imagine 10%. Reset not until July 17. Even normal usage is now enough to exhaust the entire weekly pool. The new shared weekly system came without any warning and the limits feel too tight for SuperGrok. Screenshot from settings attached. Is there any real solution besides upgrading to Heavy or buying extra credits? #Grok #SuperGrok #xAI

@Level1Neko @DelusionPosting There’s simply confusion over terminology. People can be rightist and Conservative politically in believing the policies are net good for society, but not necessarily personally small-c conservative in the individual propriety sense of the word.

@EricLDaugh Not only ancestral Americans, but those who decide to answer such questions in terms of American ancestry, not whatever nationality their forebears had. Many of those with the longest family ties to this country don't think to do that. That takes a particular mindset.

The fact this one dude - by himself - can walk into any state and find blatant fraud everywhere he goes proves two things: 1) the fraud is rampant at an unprecedented scale and 2) the government agencies who are supposed to protect our tax dollars are either completely incompetent or complicit in the fraud.

Nick Shirley uncovers an adult day care in Flushing, Queens with 7,000 phantom members. Nick: “This public document says you have 7,899 members.” Employee: “No, we don’t have 7,000 members.” Nick: “So you’re overbilling then? You’re getting paid $1,600 per patient — that’s how you got $12.9 million in 2024.” Employee: “Please leave.” American taxpayer dollars at work.

introducing namethatui.com a dictionary for ui things you can see but can't name made it because i'm primarily a designer, and my biggest resistance was always knowing what things are called when prompting my agents it learns as people use it: every search teaches the site new words, and the built-in pocket dictionary grows with it give it a try and let me know what you think can't find something? dm me and i'll add it i want this to be the lowest resistance resource you have you can just build things

John Ʌ Konrad V@johnkonrad·
Mamdani closed the ferry to the main viewing area morning of the US Navy parade. He made it significantly more difficult than usual for the Navy to obtain permits. He put up barricades that misdirected crowds. He threatened to coopt a Naval event with his political rhetoric forcing the Navy to cancel. He stalked a sailor and engineered a joke to catch him laughing for his own propaganda. He used the Navy’s own safety culture against them to keep warships far from the crowds. He promised to promote events then did nothing to promote them. He did favors for local media in exchange for them underplaying the event. These are all facts from multiple sources from O5 all the way up to admirals. But they aren’t the most grievous facts, those I cannot write without official confirmation or at least a source willing to speak on background. And he did it all via numerous NYC departments and representatives as a distributed attack while claiming he himself was supporting the Navy. He is in full rebellion against the federal government, the US military and the Republic for which it stands. And worse: he’s smart and was highly effective at sabotaging the event which was originally planned to be the biggest Naval Parade in 50 years.
Hon. Vickie Paladino@VickieforNYC

I've said this before and I'll say it again. We are in a soft secession under Zohran. He considers New York an independent city-state with its own foreign policy, immigration policy, and economic policy. He does not recognize the authority of the federal government except to the extent he can extract money or political wins from it. The intent is to use the resources and authority of New York City to wage war against the federal government and the rest of the country. The DSA is quite open about it. They're telling us what they plan to do, and Zohran is executing. Colluding with the Iranians was just another means to that end. They will collude with any and all of our enemies, because the stated goal of the DSA is to dismantle the country from within. Again, they say all of this out loud. No inferences necessary here. In this particular case, the meeting with the Iranians was sidelined by the State Department. But the intention is crystal clear, and just because a high-profile meeting was stopped doesn't mean there isn't back channel communication and cooperation happening between the DSA/Mamdani admin and the Iranians. Obviously there is. Meetings like this don't just materialize out of thin air, and ties between the DSA and Iranian-linked fronts like the People's Forum are too many to count. Now what are we actually going to do about this? We're WAY past the point that it can honestly be argued that the DSA isn't an insurgency determined to bring down the country. I really think it requires a military solution now; take this out of the corrupt civil court system and use the military to roll up the DSA and charge them as revolutionary insurgents. Do it while we still can and avoid inevitable future bloodshed.

Bryan Johnson@bryan_johnson·
The world wants me to die. My incurable disease diagnosis became global news. It was omnipresent on social media and 1,900 articles were written in a matter of days. Many were saddened. However, joy dominated the commentary. People pointed to schadenfreude, the pleasure of another's failure. Yes, there’s that. There is a special place in people’s hearts that loves to see others fail, especially when that person’s presence threatens their own psychological stability in some way or helps them feel better about themselves. But, if you look over the social media commentary about me, you’ll see that pattern: “he deserved it.” I deserved it because I challenged death. The crowd was running a deeply rooted psychological script that represents the oldest, most deeply embedded stories of human culture. This was the first story ever written down, 4,000 years ago. Gilgamesh sought eternal life after losing someone he loved, only to have the plant of youth stolen by a serpent as he bathed. Leaving him to accept his mortality. Asclepius became so skilled at rejuvenation that he raised the dead. As punishment, Zeus struck him down with a thunderbolt to enforce life and death authority. This is the story of Jesus. Pontius Pilate offered a choice between a thief and the immortalist, and the crowd demanded the execution. People need this story conclusion to keep themselves sane. The challenger must lose and the loss must appear deserved. It’s a shield of self preservation. For if death is inevitable, their existence and that of their loved ones is justified and unavoidable. If death is not inevitable, nothing about their reality is safe. I occupy the same philosophical and archetypal position as Gilgamesh, Asclepius and Jesus. This statement will draw outrage and accusations of blasphemy, hubris and narcissism. Nevertheless, it’s the pattern that has repeated itself for thousands of years. Death has been the omnipresent concern of the human race. It encapsulates our greatest fears, joy and curiosities. The discourse around it changes over time; however, the fundamentals remain unchanged. What’s different about this moment, that is unlike any other moment, is that physical death may no longer be inevitable. What if I didn’t deserve it? And what if I am your ally, and not a threat?

The Well Just Dropped: 15 Terabytes of Pure Physics Gold Is Now Open Source The scientific AI world just got a massive upgrade.Polymathic AI, in collaboration with the Flatiron Institute and researchers from Princeton, Cambridge, NYU, Berkeley, Los Alamos, and more, has released The Well: a staggering 15TB collection of high-fidelity physics simulations. This isn’t toy data. These are real, expensive-to-run simulations across 16 different physical domains, including turbulent fluid dynamics, supernova explosions, magneto-hydrodynamic cosmic flows, acoustic scattering, and active biological matter. Until now, reproducing this level of data required weeks on national supercomputers and grant money most teams will never see. The Well changes everything. It’s purpose-built for training PDE surrogate models the AI systems that can replace slow, costly physics solvers with a single fast neural network forward pass. Everything is fully open source, easy to load with PyTorch, and ready to drop straight into your training pipeline. Researchers and builders can now train on world-class physics data without the insane compute barriers that used to stand in the way. This is more than just another dataset drop. It’s a serious accelerator for scientific machine learning.The future of physics-informed AI just got a whole lot more accessible.Get it here: polymathic-ai.org/the_well/
