Selective soldering machines come in many shapes and sizes, but this model is similar to what they got for the service bureau just before I left. Very effective way to solder very big pcbs with lots of copper.

How is this hard for people to grasp? If selling bits from internet satellites is profitable, then using that dang bandwidth to sell tokens is going to be way more lucrative And you can just keep on launching, unrestricted by the constraints of land, law and power
I don't think people understand that this what SpaceX is competing against Google's "Global Head of Energy and Power" Don't get me wrong, Sergey and Larry are absolute geniuses who fully understand that compute is going to space, and Google has impressive early efforts here But the hyperscalers are giant bloated bureaucracies filled with people who who moved up the corporate ladder due to political acumen rather than hardcore execution ability This was fine in the old world... when atoms were subjugated by bits, and we left the hard parts of building to Asia It's absolutely unacceptable in the new world... where atoms are king 👑

We asked GPT-6 Astra to edit Qwen3.5-0.8B weights to improve math. It directly changed only 0.016% of weights, fixing 0.8B's reasoning loops & improving math up to 6x and even instruction following 3x, without gradients or training. We call this Weight-Space Programming: frontier LLMs can now natively read/write neural network weights! 🧵 Blog: rikiyat.github.io/blog/weigh…
Community note
LLM was given weights explicitly as text in prompt and used code/forward passes (per authors' logs) to ablate Qwen looping direction, a known thinking-mode issue per model card. Primarily fixed repetition in that mode, not general 'natively' improving weights/math. rikiyat.github.io/blog/weight-sp… github.com/RikiyaT/lm_und… huggingface.co/Qwen/Qwen3.5-0… huggingface.co/RikiyaT/Qwen3.…

All these reasonable sounding resolutions are just the rest of the world trying to impose a tax on the US right ?
Despite what the media constantly tells you, the United States is the true rogue state in the world.

My expectation is that integration costs will drop dramatically and we will see loads more integrators as a consequence
a16z's Erin Price-Wright says factory technicians can now retool production lines with AI in 20 minutes, a job that used to take an outside integrator 3 months: "Historically, if you're setting up a line with a lot of automation, you really need to be producing a lot of one single thing. That's how you get the cost down, and how you justify investing in a pretty bespoke manufacturing line." "But what we're seeing across our portfolio is that manufacturing technicians themselves have the intuition, and now the software tools, to change the economics of producing low-volume, high-mix on the line." "A manufacturing technician, not necessarily someone with a college degree or who's studied software engineering, can now use these tools to reprogram and reconfigure their lines on the fly, because they understand the manufacturing process." "Instead of calling a systems integrator, which takes 3 months and hundreds of thousands of dollars to reconfigure a line, you can have a manufacturing engineer use Claude and do that in 20 minutes. That's been a real game changer." @espricewright

The US needs to go from ~100k/robots built domestically to 10m+ Generational opportunity to be part of the solution We’ve been working with lots of robotics companies producing individual parts and sub-assemblies Next step for us is to build the full robot as a contract mfg

Something I've been saying for a while, you don't have a sovereign industrial base if all the machines and robots inside it are imported. Yesterday the White House made it official. America "relies on foreign imports for most types of robotics and industrial machinery," and that's now a national security threat. This is the first critical step toward bringing robot and machine tool manufacturing back to the US. The US invented these tools. The first industrial robot, Unimate, went to work at a GM plant in New Jersey in 1961. CNC machining came out of MIT. Then we stopped building them and outsourced it all. Today none of the biggest industrial robot makers is American, and Korea runs 4x our robot density and besides Fanuc, most industrial robot OEMs have outsourced critical components to China. @AMRwelding is building industrial robot arms designed and built in the US, on our own opensource controller. Reindustrialization runs on robots. They should be built here too.
Industrial robotics and advanced manufacturing are foundational to America’s defense industrial base. Securing domestic production capacity isn’t just an economic priority – it’s a national security imperative. whitehouse.gov/presidential-…

i was saying it over and over: it’s absolutely a national security threat - we are actively applying robotic automation in manufacturing plants, agriculture, warehousing, etc. but what would happen if the robots break and we can’t ship the parts? @gearsdotco was founded to secure us with gears and gearboxes 🫡
the white house just declared our dependence on imported robots and industrial machinery a national security threat. no new tariffs yet. trade negotiations come first. the bigger point: rebuilding american industry means building the machines that make everything else.

For everyone reinventing the factory, @AMRwelding is reinventing the industrial robots that go in them
important for all to note: 1 - venture returns are predicated on speed + scale 2 - reinventing a factory for speed + scale IS NOT "i need a factory to make x" 3 - venture equity is the only thing you can use to reinvent a factory 4 - reinvent it, then scale it with equity + debt 5 - scaling laws here far surpass most software companies especially on longer timelines, enormous cash flows and growth potential

We are going to strip mine the ever loving shit outta this thing
I took about 50,000 photos through a 14" telescope last night to produce this: A hyper-detailed photo of the full moon. The fidelity of the photo was great enough to allow me to greatly enhance the color, revealing a hidden world of geological diversity.
