Boring factory runs on a homegrown manufacturing execution system we call Wormhole. The system keeps track of the state of all 176,000 parts in each TBM on the line and issues tasks to everyone in the factory 24h a day, 7 days a week. It also manages our production assets (think lathes, mills, water jets, etc.) by keeping track of what job is assigned to each and the state of its preventative maintanence (PM) schedule. Each asset gets 2 dashboards - a PM dashboard and a task dashboard. If the machine is running a job and has all its PMs done both dashboards are bright green. If not, one or both are red. If you want to design a factory where issues bubble up to the right people as fast as possible - design it in a way that allows someone to “see” all the problems simply by taking a quick floor walk. This is one small example of a principle that we have employed throughout our entire factory.

I'm retiring with this. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

i think this would be a great take if it weren’t for AGI. capabilities will not slow down, RSI is less than 24 months away

One of the biggest constraints in tunneling at high speeds is getting the dirt (muck) out fast enough. Every foot a Prufrock moves forward it displaces enough dirt to fill an entire dump truck and if muck removal falls behind, the machine stops. The continuous conveyor + cassette system is designed to prevent that. The system uses three 125 hp motors, stores ~1,250 ft of belt, and can move up to 680 tons per hour at a max speed of 660 ft per minute. The 375 hp enables about 2 miles of tunneling before we need to add power to the system, and we have multiple ways of doing that to enable infinite belt range. The video below shows the muck-eye-view of rock leaving Prufrock Main Beam 1 on the conveyor in Nashville

Grok Build new update brings richer headless streaming with tool calls and usage, a new /undo alias for rewind, smarter slash-command mode support, and more reliable token refresh after sleep Release Notes: v0.2.116 Features: • Headless streaming output now includes tool calls, results, and usage when using `--output-format streaming-json`. • New `/undo` slash command restores files and chat to an earlier turn, same as `/rewind`. • Slash commands are now correctly hidden or refused in minimal or fullscreen mode based on their declared support. Bug Fixes: • Fixed repeated forced re-logins after laptop sleep or network hiccups during token refresh. • Suppressed spurious history load warnings on draft conversations that have no server history yet. • Settings enum pickers now keep the selected radio button on the current value until you press Enter. • Deep-linked settings such as `/privacy` now close the settings modal on Esc or Enter instead of returning to the list.
