This & that. But I don't come here too much these days...



Today at @heronpower we are publishing our vision for how future native 800 VDC data centers will be built. There's plenty of discussion circulating on 800V data centers, and our work stands apart in two key ways. First, it's an end-to-end blueprint for an AI factory data hall, fully specifying a 12 MW building block with bill of materials, redundancy topology, floor layout, and product specs benchmarked against ERCOT's large load interconnection requirements. Second, it line-item the costs and labor breakdowns per MW for our blueprint compared to traditional 480 VAC builds. Stacked against today’s tech, Heron’s architecture is 1/3 the MV-to-rack electrical cost, 1/10th the installation labor, and half the inefficiency from grid to chip, unlocking faster, more affordable, gigascale buildouts.

Quick update: not dead. $FIG Q1 results: → 46% YoY revenue growth, accelerating for the 2nd straight quarter → Net Dollar Retention Rate increased to 139%, our highest rate in over two years → Raising 2026 revenue guidance for the year Design matters more than ever.




If you skip some or all of college to start a startup, it's on you to develop your mind the way college would have. And that's not something that happens by default in most startups.
