I grew up in a magical era when the leading man of the leading TV show at the time solved hard problems with intelligence, courage, honour and respect. I owe so much to his example, and continue to try to live by the example his character set.

R.I.P. Patrick Stewart. Forever Captain Picard. Watching Star Trek as a young kid helped shape who I am today. Ever since then, I’ve carried that optimistic, Star Trek like vision of the future. It has never weakened, only grown stronger as time has passed. Star Trek was a major inspiration for me, and it always will be.

RIP Sir Patrick Stewart. Capitan Picard was an early role model for so many of us. Someone who did the right thing — even under pressure — in seemingly impossible circumstances. Fictional of course, and with dialogue crafted by writers, but it was Patrick Stewart who made Jean-Luc Picard the quintessential leader I looked up to growing up. Engage.

The next chapter of human lunar exploration will unfold near the Moon’s South Pole. This interactive lets you tour the region where the Moon Base will take shape and explore its distinctive lighting, rugged terrain, and notable landmarks. Launch the interactive: nasa.gov/moonbase-environmen…

AIs will likely expand out through our home galaxy ahead of us.

Always keep inspiring the next generation.
among the dumbest comments about the flying Roadster is “but how is it practical?” well in a very practical way it’s inspiring the next generation of engineers who will be building the cars we will all be flying around in one day (my kids have been hard at work all morning) we need to work towards a future we are excited about

The Chinese AI companies paid Anthropic over half a billion $ to steal their way to their models, likely at least $400M from Alibaba / Qwen alone. And to distill largely from subtly handicapped Claudes as Ant played them. Go Chinese innovation.
"Anthropic told investors on Wednesday distillation accounted for 5 per cent to 7 per cent of revenue" If true, and Q2 revenue was $11.5B, then that's more than half a billion dollars spent by other labs to distill Anthropic's models! ft.com/content/11632d03-358c…

Among all the awesome views of space, this is one of my favorite NASA Astronaut messages ever. Earth.

~“Can economic demand for intelligence saturate? I suspect not.”~
Casey Handmer on why Starlink and Starmind are so valuable: "If you run the math: What is the revenue per watt of transmitted microwave power for Starlink? It's a billion times higher than space-based solar power. SpaceX is making money hand over fist with Starlink. So you take that model and say, we make lots of money transmitting data from your content delivery service like Netflix, but instead let's transmit tokens of some hyper intelligent model. Once you've got the hardware flying, what is the comparative value between your average Starlink bit versus your average Starmind bit? It's probably at least 1,000 times more valuable. It's not even in the same category. It will be interesting to see if economic demand for intelligence in the form of AI tokens can saturate. I suspect not."

Strength and security, together as teammates.
Today marks 25 years since the attacks of September 11, 2001. We honor the memory of those we lost, the sacrifice of the families left behind, and the courage of those who continue to defend our nation. #NavySEALFoundation #NeverForget #911Anniversary
