@radbackwards cc @shahedkhan your boy Trent might be a good connect here!

I’ve spent my life studying and admiring Japanese culture. today I’m flying with 4 NEO’s to meet some of my hero’s, discuss the future of humanoids in society & learn more about the culture that inspired our brand. Would mean a lot if anyone here has recommendations.

Introducing NEO’s 25 Degrees of Freedom, tendon-driven hands — nearing or surpassing human-level dexterity, strength, speed, and reliability. For seventy years, robotics worked around the hand problem. The humanoid bet is the reverse: it lives or dies at the fingertips.

My husband and I are honored and thrilled to participate in the Invest America program and gift a share of our SpaceX stock to a Trump Account for each of more than two million children across our great nation. Every American child under 18 can benefit from having a Trump Account, but our gift specifically goes to the Accounts of children (ages 11-17) that live in areas with lower average household incomes with a bit more emphasis for those that live near our central Texas home. We have been fortunate in our careers and hope this gift encourages the next generation to continue the journey of enabling humanity to live and fly amongst the stars. A huge thanks to all that worked to bring this incredible program to life.

Since February, I've designed and built the world's fastest RC airplane in my college dorm, and that’s not clickbait. Reaper has a 5kg carbon-fiber frame, 250N turbojet, and flies at 500mph. New to X and will be going through the whole build here in the coming days. #aerospace

@vicusventures The absolute GOATs!

We're excited to finally share Vicus Ventures Fund 1 publicly: our debut $55M seed fund to back outlier founders at the earliest stages. Founded by brothers Raj and Sunny Singh Sandhu, our ethos has been deeply rooted in family. Fortune Article: fortune.com/2026/06/30/the…

I remember the first time I got cell data hiking through the Himalayas. It was the day Trump won. I was watching a friend break down crying on her story about how selfish and racist and cruel our country was. I had listened to her espouse the benefits of socialism in the past and couldn’t help but feel dismayed as I moved my eyes a couple centimeters above my screen to watch a child, missing both her arms, carry water in a bucket on her head to her mud hut laughing. Her subsistence undoubtedly promulgated by socialist ideologies that had (and was) tearing Nepal apart in very specific but predictable ways (at least by account of the many Nepalese I had talked to on my journeys). I really hope we know what we are doing. I really hope it “will be different this time”. The track record is very bad, and most people who think like me seem to think it’s because of human nature itself. And I haven’t heard a single person name a principled reason why exactly it won’t lead to less bloodshed this time minus “look at Norway”.

@Steve8708 Which folder is the src in? I would like to take a look

Introducing Clips - 100% free, open source, agent-native alternative to Loom Unlike Loom, agent's can fully understand Clips just from a URL. Every Clip comes with APIs and metadata for agents to explore their contents. Agents can "see and hear" anything in a Clip - not just transcripts, but everything visually in the video at any timestamp. Easily share bug reports, feedback, analyses, or anything else in a way that you can easily pass to agents to use to improve products, reports, or more. Also unlike Loom, you own the software, so no one can jack up prices on you suddenly like Loom did to us. Clips is made to be customized. The built-in agent can customize its own code, so you can personalize the app to your needs and workflows. This, in my opinion, is the future of software. Open-source, forkable, customizable with agents, to make your own personal version of anything. You can also import Looms just from a URL and upload videos as well. I got so sick of telling people "don't send me feedback as looms, I can't pass those to agents, I need text and images" that I had to just solve this once and for all. There's a free hosted version you can use too, or fork and self host yourself. Will link to both in the replies.

Late nights and early mornings

dream harder

This might be the coolest pivot I’ve seen of any company ever.

@kaiarhodes Dominant energy

Almost every great hardware engineer I’ve met has poured approximately 95% of their money and time into their car. And it has nothing to do with how much money they have. Strongly considering adding this to my interview diligence.

@AI_in_LEO That’s what I drive! But I am a mediocre MechE

@vhmth If the MechE doesn't have an extremely polarized engine layout preference I don't event want them. Inline 6 or don't even bother driving it.

@amphichrome_ So rad!

@vhmth you get it

@_libertarianish @BananaReplican Love motorcycles too! Been riding since I was 4. But I am also definitely not a great hardware engineer.

@BananaReplican @vhmth seriously who the hell cares about cars

Many of them love 911s. Niche BMWs and Audis too. Lots of internal and unseen work done on them. One of my mentors owns a super old BMW that has no power steering and is basically a depth trap. Doesn’t go fast but is fun because you are basically on a beautiful wooden roller coaster cart but on the highway.

@vhmth Any notable cars they’ve mentioned owning?

@SeizeEndowments @agniv_s Looks like you got into really big cars

@agniv_s @vhmth @agniv_s You can tell I don't know much abt hardware bc most of mine went into heavy equipment and chainsaws 😹

@turbofakesmile Gundo?

@vhmth You should visit us in LA

@sbhaktaf1 Siiick

@vhmth Cars and ☕. It's just fun to do things!
