The President’s point, and I fully agree, is that the worst choice is to fall behind and hope our adversaries will responsibly wield a technology with the potential to elevate nations and change civilizations.
The best choice is to continue to ensure America has the superior AI, just as we must lead across every technology that will shape the future.

Fuck the Doomers.
Fuck the Decels.
Fuck the Commies.
Access to AI is a right.
Owning compute is a right.
Come and take it.
Over my dead body.
Join us in the fight, anon.

what is it about software development that makes developers think they’re qualified to talk about anything other than software
I think the next insane thing with Astra and 3D will be in manufacturing.
Vibe-manufacturing with 3D printers en masse. In all sorts of materials.
I’m obsessed with making things on my 3D printer and the biggest issue is always the modeling time.
My mom asked me a few weeks ago for a very rare part for her toilet that’s discontinued and I’ve not been able to locate the manufacturers drawing of it to properly model it.
I have some photos of the broken part and measurements.
Gave it to Astra, alongside with the rest of the info.
Astra actually found some manual online with a small 2D drawing, combined with my photos and the measurements it was able to model the part in less than 2 minutes.
It made a .stl file, sent it to my printer in Sweden, and 1.5h later the part was printed and ready for my mom to pick up.
Absolutely nuts.
Everything will be put on its head, hundreds of new multi million dollar businesses will be made.
it’s still about creating the glue and value and ensuring repeatable outcomes.
But holy cow, I’m just amazed by how incredibly powerful of a moment this is.
this is the fusion of digital and physical.
and we are just getting started.
mindblown 🤯

JUST IN: A second Coldcard hack has been reported.
A total of 1,158.81 BTC has been stolen from 2,673 addresses so far, according to Galaxy Research.
Users are urged to review the company's official security guidance as soon as possible‼

One notes that the US Army, having just utterly decimated the Iraqi army, 6000 miles away from home, in 100 hours of ground combat operations, and with a 340:1 casualty ratio... marches like trash.
Lesson in that for China, who hasn't won a major war in 80+ years.

This doesn’t happen on the Other Timeline, btw.

the difference is the chinese government coordinates their strategy with a goal of not only stealing our technology but selling it at unsustainably steep discounts to destroy american industry and corner the global market. as they've done for 30 years. which of course you know.

I see American leftists are fetishizing Mao again.
Part of what got me involved in SF politics was @DSA_SF hosting sycophantic Mao readings in 2023 and trolling Chinese Americans who pointed out the history.

We are a nation of builders and anyone who says otherwise is a loser
how long it took America to build things:
transcontinental railroad: 6 years (1869)
Empire State Building: 410 days (1931)
golden gate bridge: 4 years (1937)
hoover dam: 5 years, finished 2 years early (1936)
the pentagon, largest office building on earth: 16 months (1943)
alaska highway, 1,700 miles through wilderness: 8 months (1942)
a liberty ship: 42 days average, one built in 4 days as a stunt (1943)

Grok 4.5 is my default for all my coding work, I freaking love this model. Frontier intelligence that won't break the bank.
Grok 4.5: $2 in / $6 out
GPT 5.6: $5 in / $30 out
Opus 4.8: $5 in / $25 out
Announcing Grok 4.5, our first model trained specifically for coding and agents. It was trained with Cursor and offers frontier intelligence at leading speeds and cost efficiency.
