Forge Man Found this gem from the past this afternoon.

Do you think we’ll be able to play wow forever on @united flights? Asking for a friend of course….

Roof top Bar and Girll is now complete at our Oakland Design shop. If you’re ever in the area while I am I will cook you breakfast or lunch beers are available at any hr of the day.

Some Parts + Luch = happy

“I thought this was supposed to be flame cut” We had a warping issue due to too much heat input; not enough time to sort it out for this first order. When in doubt, chuck it on the machine. These lips will be servicing some CAT 992s; a completely new system should work…. To some extent ◡̈

It’s always crazy how fast and cheap we can make patterns now compared to the days of the pattern maker.

Some jelly girl- " You have no hobbies” I give you my hobbies.

We've been making race-boat props for a while. One of the guys stopped by our design shop to say hi. Now I want to drive this thing.

SlickLip#4 heading out. No, I did not want to paint it. I don't like paint the guys did, but it's ok I am Batman.

I hope my @bot knows how much I love them ❤️

A little different configuration on this Slicklip. In an effort to boost production, we made a “Super Scooper” shroud and a 5-degree adapter. This significantly widened the mouth of the dipper. Unfortunately, we did not take into account the shovel's age and reduced power. The added drag is proving to be too much for this old dog. No worries, the fix is in. We will be swapping out all of the hardware, shedding about 4,000lb, and achieving a razor-like edge.

Mo betta

12 months and 3 days of digging for SlickLip #1 Time flies; keep working

Dario has written that we need to “pace the frontier,” and Sam has agreed. People may be surprised by my response: go ahead. You guys are the frontier. By any reasonable metric — market share, revenue growth, model capability — the two of you have a duopoly on frontier intelligence. You’ve also claimed the lead is widening because of recursive self-improvement. I don’t see what you see in the lab. If the unreleased models are scary enough that you think you should slow down, I support your decision to be responsible. But stop pretending you need anyone else’s permission. Stop pretending antitrust law has to be suspended so you can form a cartel. Stop pretending you need a regulatory approval process that supersedes product liability. Stop pretending METR is independent when it is intertwined with Anthropic’s investors and staff. Stop pretending you need those same evaluators to police competitors who aren’t even at the frontier. Most of all, stop pretending the motivation to slow down is purely altruistic. You face massive product-liability exposure if your products enable a truly damaging cyberattack. The market already punishes models that behave in unpredictable or unauthorized ways. After the Hugging Face episode, it is simply good business for OpenAI and Anthropic to trade some raw power for reliability and predictability. Call it alignment if you want. It is also just giving customers what they want. Pacing the frontier would also create breathing room for a more intelligent conversation about regulation than Bernie Sanders’ “shut it all down.” China is very unlikely to join a global agreement, as you know, and that has to be taken into account as well. So go ahead and pace the frontier. You are the ones setting it. The easiest way not to build superintelligence is for you to agree not to build it. Demanding your preferred regulatory framework as the price of that will look like blackmail of the public and the political system. So just do it. If you do, you’ll buy goodwill for the next conversation. If you don’t, we’ll know this was just another bid for regulatory capture — or an election-season psyop.

First four drum cleats headed out for test. Cast base, Forged (the test tip is cast I’m to cheep to sink dies for the first test parts) 550BN tip with 2” of wear material tapered wedge ensuring a tight fit plus an ejector spool. Haven’t tried this part before but if it works how we think it will we will implement it into our mining systems.

Peep the tips! I always get excited when I see our stuff on other people’s equipment ◡̈ Also Anvil is great and everyone there I have talked to is equally as great.

Pretty parts ◡̈

The Following is small but full of engineer’s. My crowd #Honored

If you email me with acronyms I will simply reply with your acronyms and a question mark. I don’t use them I don’t know them please don’t use them thank you for your attention.

“Make a stupid cheep mechanically attached front loader lip that has a universal lock and an unbreakable nose” I’ll admit for the moment I failed on the universal lock. The center shrouds, adapter and wing shroud all shear the same solid pin locking. I definitely can make it work for the tooth but I don’t have enough time to figure this out at the moment (but I will). Either way the tail of the adapter and shrouds have a tacked in plow bolt you screw in and out a tapered solid pin. This give us the pull on we’re looking for. The tooth is held on at the moment by our LS latch which is an expanding and contracting latch. If you know anything about mining dirt gets everywhere and packs in like concrete. When you go to undo this latch, it snaps back giving about an eighth of an inch of clearance, which is just enough to easily pry it out. The adapters have a rib running almost the length of the pat. All this means is it’s a very easy casting and very forgeable with some adjusted drafts. (Unbreakable) This lip will be joined by the previous two for there maiden voyage to the UAE early next year. Couldn’t be more excited.
