@JarredDrof Sent you a dm

@bavser Can in private messages, happy to

Introducing Applied Electrodynamics. What would the world look like if we could see beyond visible light, across the entire electromagnetic spectrum? The way waves interact with matter, at every wavelength, encodes far more than just shape and color. It reveals internal structure, temperature, chemical composition, and more: a whole layer of the physical world that's invisible to us today. That's what we're building at Applied Electrodynamics: the infrastructure to fully perceive the physical world. WaveSight is the first piece of the puzzle. It brings radio frequencies into human perception, revealing the internal structure of objects behind opaque layers. Designed for construction crews, industrial inspectors, and security personnel.

@JarredDrof I would love to hear about how you would use it.

@bavser In our profession I can see exciting use cases….

@batjko_pat Good point and we are experimenting with it. But more than anything we value deterministic precision in our product.

@bavser Such an easy win to just add an AI image layer on top that simply says: Turn this into a photorealistic image preserving, and carefully enhancing, the shape and positional details with high fidelity.

@morganlinton We have a preorder form on our website. ae-dyn.com

@bavser This is wild, totally want to be one of your first users, how can I make sure that happens? 👀

@mm3hta @ycombinator Thanks Manan!

@bavser @ycombinator All the best you guys!

@schwa23 Thank you Josh!

@bavser so cool bil! congrats to you and the team!

@ChaseMc67 Thank you.

@bavser That sounds pretty fuckin sick

@J0ker9e Nature is a big inspiration for us. The only animal that can see circular polarization!

@bavser Oh hell yea dude, this is exciting! Whatever hardware you end up developing, please name one "Mantis" or "MS" after the legendary eyes of the Mantis Shrimp!!

@jtkirk2000 It doesn’t need to be against the wall, it can image from a distance. We can see up to 10m, but have strict guardrails baked into the imaging algorithms for privacy reasons.

@bavser Does it have to be pressed against a wall to see pipes that may be leaking? How much depth can it perceive?

@NateSilver538 The “hydration” break is abysmal, though. It completely kills the momentum and pressure that are essential to football, especially given the sport’s low-scoring nature.

The World Cup has been great so far, and FIFA is selling a lot of tickets. The cynicism about a 48-team format wasn't really warranted. However, it does create some awkwardness, with group-stage games being low-stakes and a weird bracket. The solution? Expand to 64.

@ryanvogel Up until 2022, it was mostly iMessage. If there was a build running in China, you would often wake up to this.

what internal messaging platform does Apple use? Like slack? Or like some nice iMessage type thing

I grew up on metric. But for everyday life, imperial feels more intuitive. Base-2 fractions are easy. You can visually halve, quarter, and double without thinking. A foot is literally the length of a foot. You can measure distance heel-to-toe. Fahrenheit spreads out the temperatures humans actually live in. Celsius compresses them.

For anything to do with engineering and science for sure, but Imperial has a certain romantic charm for civilian use. I set a more intuitive variant of metric for Starship: tons for force and mass, bar for pressure. It’s easier to do mental math, eg thrust to mass ratio, than using newtons, kilograms and pascals.

For the love of God, please just use metric.

@janaka_a @ShaanVP Hard to call it a luxury item when more than half of Americans have iPhones.

@bavser @ShaanVP IPhone and watch sells as a luxury item. It's a flex. On the same level as designer handbags and Rolex.

What the hell is Apple doing? *Failed to make a car *No AI investments *Siri still sucks *just releasing the same phone over and over again How can you miss AI? how is that even possible?

@andrewmccalip Few things bother me more than a structurally unsound sandwich.

Most sandwiches are too tall, aspect ratio is way off. Sandwiches need to be low profile. We need to normalize a reduced height to width

@bryan_johnson I want to say both.

Don't Die is...

@sinemori Bir kez oturursa kalkmaz.

Demir Taht, İstanbul'da.

@elonmusk @DOGE Full send!

He’s mad that @DOGE is dismantling the radical-left shadow government in full view of the public. This is our ONE CHANCE to return POWER to the PEOPLE from an unelected BUREAUcracy back to DEMOcracy!! Only with the support of YOU can this succeed. Thank you, unknown soldiers.

@Andercot I like Hawking’s analogy of scientific theories as overlapping maps of physical phenomena.

List of physical theories that are wrong but still useful: Newtonian mechanics - good enough to run a space program. Wrong. Ohm's Law - good enough for almost all electrical engineering. Wrong. Ray optics - good enough to design telescopes and microscopes. Wrong. Rigid-body mechanics - good enough to build any structure. Wrong. Bohr model of the atom - good enough for almost all of organic chemistry. Wrong. Laminar flow - good enough for basic civil engineering. Wrong. Free electron / Drude model of solids - good enough to calculate heat capacity and conductivity. Wrong. It's okay to be wrong if your theory is useful for where you intend to use it.
