Another reason to not manufacture your trade secret or sensitive parts in the cheapest Chinese factory you can find. You can’t make this stuff up. Where do you think these are going?
Another mysterious customer order…
Highly realistic. Fully functional. It moves, spins, and makes sounds.
And the customer still hasn’t told us what they’re planning to do with it.
Event? Installation? Backyard?

A nation that’s factories depend on parts and machines from its advertises to continue operating is vulnerable. We should treat critical machinery the same as critical minerals.
"The reality is... [the automotive] industry cannot launch a vehicle in North America without a Chinese tool."
'It's impossible."

Demand for power and electrical components for data centers has so outpace the capacity of suppliers, that the economic playbook is being rewritten and hydrogen is stepping in to fill in the gaps.
.@EODev_H2 and Baudouin are partnering to launch industrial-scale #SOFC power generation. The new distributed power solution will deliver reliable on-site electricity for #datacenters and critical infrastructure.

I resigned from Mattel today. I spent the last three years doing track physics research at both Hot Wheels and Matchbox. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing straight to AI full self-driving miniature vehicles and gambling with our lives. More thoughts below.
•The Loop-de-Loop Crisis: Kinetic energy levels are exceeding safe living room limits.
•Zero Driver Input: These cars are accelerating down gravity drops with absolutely no regard for furniture legs.
•Supercharged Boosters: The motorized wheel launchers are spinning at speeds capable of launching a 1:64 scale vehicle directly into a cat.
•Unregulated Racing: They are optimizing friction coefficients at a rate that human hands simply cannot control.

I just vibecoded my own Applicant Tracking system to manage hiring at our startup it took Opus 5 about an hour and an hour of my time and cost about $40 to replace a cookie cutter system that would have cost $100/month.
What Saas products have you replaced with AI?

Industrialist are better than Influencers
Over the last few decades, America forgot how to make things.
By the time Cameron Schiller (@cameron62s), founder of Rangeview, entered adulthood, our factory towns had given way to the Rust Belt, and 22-year-olds could make “$200,000 right out of school to more effectively steal someone’s attention by being a TikTok programmer.”
Enter: Rangeview. After coming to the conclusion that America’s manufacturing was basically “hosed,” and seeing how critical it is to national security, Cameron started a company to make small metal parts for (at the moment) AI data centers, drone interceptors, and energy plants.
Rangeview is now partnering with the US Navy, in a rumored eight-figure contract, to produce parts for defense. It has plans for a megasite, staffed by 1,300 small-town Americans.
Where others simply see industrialization, Cameron sees the world he wants to build for his future kids: “If all you do is shuffle papers and change numbers in an Excel sheet, what connection do you feel to your neighbor? What responsibility do you feel to your country? People that can feel the product of their labor have a different sense of pride.”
“Steve Jobs talked about this a lot, but everyone prioritized serving a few more ads.”

American Universities produced 75% of all US unicorn companies you say.
And 47% of a Unicorn companies on the planet are located in the US.
But the US is only 4.3% of the world’s population.
So American Universities produced ~35% of the of all Unicorn founders! That’s 9x!

I just reviewed job applicants on @LinkedIn for the first time. No recruiter, no training, just an Engineering searching for great Engineers.
Here's what it takes to review applicants on @LinkedIn:
1. Click "me"
2. Click "view profile"
3. Click "hiring job posting"
4. Select the job, Click
5. Click the small "manage job post" link
6. Click "review applicants"
6 clicks! 5 pages. No dashboard. No dropdown menu. Nothing that says "review job posting here"
I have zero HR background and I'm doing this for the first time, and even I can tell this isn't an accident. A $100 Billion+ recruitment platform can absolutely put your applicants one or two clicks from your homepage. They didn't.
So somewhere out there, a job seeker hit "Easy Apply," felt good about it, and is now sitting in a queue that the hiring manager on the other end has to fight six clicks to even see. That's not a candidate experience problem. That's a business model.
If you've ever wondered why your application vanished into a black hole: this is the black hole.
To clarify the process is slightly easier for the original job poster, but not by much.

We are building @Tobe_Energy right in the heart of #Oklahoma, because we believe it is the best place in the world to grow an innovative Energy and Industrial company.
Oklahoma has:
> Cheap energy prices
> A skilled workforce (Oil and gas specialists)
> great tax incentives
> pro Business policies
> Central location
>low cost of living and land
>investors and partners who know the energy industry
> the hardest working people in the country
Just so 100M+ hard-working and politically isolated Americans know, there’s an entire ecosystem of VCs and builders who respect, prefer, and favor flyover America (we’re proud to call you fellow countrymen). We’re not ivory tower tech elitists confined to the limited and narrow opinions of several metropolitan bubbles.
Below are patriots who proudly support and respect you, your rights, your beliefs, and your lifestyles.
I’m hoping each of these people name ten others they know who champion similar characteristics.
Let’s highlight the “other” (this) side so flyover America knows everyone who’s got their back.
