They don't think it be like it is, but it do. Opinions are my own and probably sarcastic

You are a VC doing a walkthrough of a new defense tech startup.
You see a row of Bambu Lab X1 Carbon printers churning out dozens of prototypes for the future of American anti-drone technology.
You see nothing wrong with this setup. You write them a $250k check.

I almost passed on Perseus Defense because they had zero ARR. That would have been the worst mistake of my career. Applying SaaS metrics to defense hardware is like judging a nuclear submarine by its app store rating. Perseus was founded by an engineer who led NASA's Titan Dragonfly program and another who built autonomous systems for Boeing and USV swarms for the Navy. The Ukraine conflict proved that $500 drones can destroy $100M military assets. Perseus was solving that problem at speed - a functional micro-UAS prototype in one week, two guided missile versions a month later. The DoD at the table is the early customer. That's not a pipeline. That's a market validation no ARR dashboard can replicate. Stop asking hardware founders about recurring revenue. Start asking whether the problem they're solving can afford to wait.

Man. Changing my algo from political slop to engineering and robotics has been so refreshing, so many new awesome people to follow and who are following me as well. I am going to keep posting content from current and past work from my career in robotics, my path moving forward, and stuff in between. Glad to be out of that rut of depressing x feeds. It didn't take long to change it up either. Here's a pretty cool robot EOAT I did for a customer who manufactured Amazon infrastructure hardware. I also did about 25 robotic welding cells for them.

I just sequenced a human genome to 30× coverage entirely at home.
As far as I know, this is the first time this has been done.
I didn’t step foot in a lab once. Every step - from saliva collection, to running the sequencer - took place in a single room with a dining table + kitchenette.
Six weeks ago, I had never done wet lab biology before.
I used an Oxford Nanopore P2 Solo - the only commercially available sequencing device portable enough to do 30x human genome sequencing at home.
Biggest takeaway - I could build something that combined software, hardware, and molecular biology far faster than I thought was possible.
I can name >100 specific instances where AI helped me solve a technical problem that would previously have blocked me because I lacked access to a domain expert.
For example: how do I save my sequencing run when my DNA extraction yield is 4x lower than I need it to be, and I have this limited set of reagents to hand?
To make this work, I had to navigate multiple disciplines:
- writing software to monitor sequencing runs and orchestrate remote GPU infra for basecalling
- learning + executing 5 hour long molecular biology protocols
- building a hardware device to quantify DNA concentration
Apologies for the hyperbole, but I feel super lucky to be living in 2026.
A few weeks ago I decided to sequence a human genome to 30x at home.
Then I actually did it. And I did it really quickly.

We accept that elite athletes can’t perform forever under extreme pressure. Yet many people expect doctors to absorb nonstop stress for decades without burning out.

If you want more doctors doing house calls, not selling their practices and going to work for the big HC conglomerates, make public med school free. A little gov intervention, so that rather than having 100s of thousands in debt guiding their decisions , they can do primary care or be a family physician and spend as much time with patients as they want. They can take cash. They can take chickens. If you had 250k after almost a decade of school, do you think that would impact your decisions ? And if you own a big HC conglomerate, does knowing they are drowning in debt impact your decision and how you compete and contract with them ? Fuck yeah it does. You pressure them till they have to sell out to you in an acquihire. They can’t afford to survive on their own and every huge HC company takes advantage of them About 32k students enter med school and DO school a year. 75k for a grant each. Thats 2.4b annually for each class. That’s it. You want better healthcare for everyone. That’s the place to start.

THIS ENGINEER SKIPPED 7,862 WORDS OF AI ROADMAP AND SHIPPED ON A WEEKEND
a Pi Zero 2W, an IMX500 camera and a solar panel, that's the whole stack
inference runs on-chip so there's no cloud, no latency and no monthly bill
Spotted Dove at 0.95, King Parrot at 0.88, runs forever on sun
code is open source and the 3D files are free, you just print the case and buy the parts
and it works better than most paid wildlife monitoring services out there

save this so you actually have everything in one place when you decide to build it

A genuine question to Tesla FSD subscribers: Which driving mode do you actually use most often?
For me, it's 90% Hurry mode, and I'm really curious what other people prefer or experience with the different modes.
• Sloth: Very conservative, sticks to or below the speed limit, few lane changes.
• Chill: Relaxed pace, usually a bit over the limit, calm and smooth.
• Standard: Balanced, follows traffic flow nicely.
• Hurry: More assertive, quicker passes, higher speeds.
• Mad Max: Aggressive, pushes the limits, frequent and fast maneuvers.
Share why your preferred mode and why…. 👇🏼

@elonmusk @aaronburnett Damn...How long does it take to make a starship right now? Months? I can't wait though
English
@aaronburnett Our goal is launching Starship >10k/year, which would be more than once an hour. Probably over 200 tons of useful load to a useful orbit per flight by then.
English
I think once we get to a Starship launch every month we’ll see a dramatic increase in optimism. At once a week it will be boring again (for most people). Like Falcon 9 was. But that cadence is a perfect time to get your non-space friends and family to launch if they haven’t already. The experience is powerful the repetition rate makes it undeniably real.

@DrBrianWilliams @IntuitiveSurg How much was the dope ass chair vs the robot?
English
One year ago, I had a passing interest in robotic surgery, intrigued by the evolution of tech since my residency 20+ years ago. Still, I had no plans to make it part of my practice. Then, the robot rep hit me up during turnover time after a nasty gallbladder case. Now…

Amazon Ring died on May 22, 2026.
It just doesn't know yet.
One dad in Nashville, Tennessee built a free MIT-licensed app that watches your driveway, your porch, your baby monitor, your garage.
No cloud. No subscription. No cop ever gets the footage.
32,057 stars. 3,103 forks. Pushed today.
Here is the wildest part:
You: "How much is Ring Protect Pro?"
Ring: "$19.99 a month. $199.99 a year. Per house."
You: "How much is Google Home Premium Advanced?"
Google: "$20 a month. $200 a year. Per house."
You: "What do I get?"
Both: "We store your footage in our cloud. Ring already paid the FTC $5.8 million in 2023 for letting employees and contractors watch your videos without your consent. Google just raised Nest prices again in 2025."
You: "What does Frigate cost?"
Blake Blackshear: "Nothing. It runs on the Raspberry Pi already on your shelf. The footage never leaves your house. I have a day job."
Ring sells the camera. Then sells your fear back to you, monthly, forever.
Frigate sells nothing. Because Blake isn't selling.
He's a dad with 1,267 followers who got tired of Amazon owning his front door.
100% Opensource.
100% Local.
100% Yours.
The smart camera industry made one bad assumption.
That you'd keep paying rent on a camera you already bought.
That assumption just died in Nashville.

Many people don't understand the scale @SecWar is demanding.
The United States has built less than 40,000 cruise missiles, ever, since the Army asked the Dayton-Wright Company to manufacture an Aerial Torpedo in 1917. The more time passes, the fewer we make and the more they cost.
Leaders like DepSecWar Feinberg and @USWREMichael are actually responding to foreign threats and giving clear demand signal that is bringing billions of dollars of private capital into solving this problem. Now America will manufacture more cruise missiles in the next three years than the last 30 years combined, at a fraction of the cost.
We are in the middle of hiring for Barracuda production at Arsenal-1 starting later this year, please hit us up if this mission is one you can be passionate about.
