Turnover on your packing line isn't a hiring problem. It's a "you're missing automation" problem.

@gojimmypi @RadionaOrg Been looking at CM4 carriers for a project. How's the Waveshare build quality?

Check out the new Waveshare CM4 carriers for the ULX4M FPGA boards! Bring your own favorite Raspberry Pi Compute Module Carrier, or design your own board... Plug in an awesome FPGA. 😍 The adapter boards are to protect the connector during repeated dev plug - unplug

@LangChain Anyone using LangSmith for production agents yet? Curious if the deployment part actually works.

Build more with LangSmith this summer. Join our Summer AMA Series for practical walkthroughs + live Q&A with the LangChain team. events.langchain.com/ama-series/bui…

So the MVP is a kite. Got it.

@moanaris Same people who were crypto bros in 2021.

how tf suddenly everyone on my TL has a badge or is affiliated to some tech startup.

@emm0sh So AI is replacing middle management after all. Just not how they hoped.

“[AI is] really good at doing an impression of work, much like most managers and c-suite executives, and even if it’s completely incapable of doing something, it’ll absolutely say it can and tell you you’re amazing for suggesting it.”

@rhygentech The intelligence layer for mileage. ML-based or rule-based? Would be interesting to know.

A short demonstration of the prototype that we are working on, where we show our control of the engine's operational modes. While we have demonstrated the operation with a manual selector setup, we also have developed control loops and algorithms that autonomously switch to the best possible mode for the engine to operate at, without affecting the drive cycle. Further, an intelligence layer to improve the mileage of the vehicle is actively being worked upon. Do follow along and stay tuned as we reveal more about the work happening at Rhygen!

AI in the factory is the right conversation. Token verification to attend a manufacturing event? Sure.

@DeepValue47 Even the DOD admits the math doesn't math. That says enough.

DOD halts cybersecurity requirements for CMMC Phase 2: ‘The math just simply doesn’t math’ CIO Kirsten Davies told reporters that the current instantiation of CMMC has become too bureaucratic and burdensome on the industrial base. CMMC is a tiered cybersecurity framework that requires defense contractors working with federal contract information (FCI) or controlled unclassified information (CUI) to implement specific cyber controls defined by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). The Pentagon began a three-year implementation plan in November 2025 that was intended to incrementally introduce CMMC requirements each year. “By pausing [CMMC] Phase 2 implementation, we are keeping more companies in the DIB who would otherwise be forced out of the market at a time when we need them most,” Duffey said. “We are not reducing cybersecurity through this measure,” Davies added. “We are reducing the red tape it gets to them getting to the place where they can get their capabilities into the hands of our warfighters.” “I think there’s a possibility for a number of avenues for us to take. We’re really going to be relying on the results from the RFI, which is truly the defense industrial base’s opportunity to give us direct feedback … about what they think would be effective from that perspective,”

This is actually the first time I see a resin printed kit in this form. It looks pretty cool actually!

@DeepValue47 Karp is right about Europe. But calling your own products morally superior is convenient.

Competence vs. Morality: Alex Karp argues that competence comes first — moral concerns (e.g., data surveillance accusations against Palantir) are “way downstream” of the competence problem. Europe’s tech struggles stem from lacking top-tier products and execution. Palantir’s products are “morally superior” because of the competence and quality behind them. “but the technical point that I think is very important is the decision making is objectively wrong. From the perspective of how would you protect the data? You need an application layer.” “And so the crazy thing about what’s happening in Europe is, we have the only industrial, industrial use application layer in the world. That application layer protects your data from being essentially abused by large language model providers.” “So what you have in Europe are technically illiterate bureaucrats that in the name of protecting their people from a company they don’t, I don’t like because they don’t like basically what Peter and I represent, which in my view is actually old school European values. Old school European values mean the products are the best in the world, and they actually are morally superior because of the competence involved, and every single one of our products is like that. Those products can’t touch. So you’re framing it as a moral thing. I’m saying the moral thing is way downstream of the competence problem.” “And if you wanna solve the competence problem in tech in Europe, which is the bigger problem. Like, Europe isn’t a relevant market for Palantir except for that I care.” $PLTR 🦧

@StevenGlinert Call me when it hits 150 wph in a real fab.

This story is fake but like, kinda true. China is probably past the question of whether it can generate EUV at all, as in getting the plasma science right. I think they're probably close on sustaining source power. There are a bunch of other things to get right and I think it will still only be there are 2nm by 2030. The last hurdle is control, accuracy, and enough system efficiency to expose 150+ wafers per hour. And that's going to be hard.

@GovNuclear The crane operator on that lift had one job. One very expensive job.

Throwback to 2020, when Vogtle Unit 3 looked like THIS. This huge water tank, known as CB-20, stands 35 feet tall and weighs more than 720,000 pounds. It holds approximately 750,000 gallons of water to provide passive cooling for the reactor in the unlikely event of an emergency. 📷: @GeorgiaPower
