SF Fire Chief finally admits being wrong about AVs after making false claims. Fortunately, she’s gone. Progress for SF.

BREAKING: XB-1 has completed its second flight at the Mojave Air & Space Port in CA. XB-1 retracted and extended its landing gear for the first time and successfully demonstrated a new digital stability augmentation system. We continue to target year-end for supersonic flight.

PG spot on, as always.

Excited to share the talented folks at Moment Robotics are joining The Bot Company! Welcome Greg Katz, Ben Berkowitz, and Robert Wilson. Our team has been deeply focused on building amazing product experiences that give people time back. We'll share more soon. We have a few

Totally agree! Will be a fun decade or two. Although “embodied intelligence” makes things sound complicated and terminator-like. I am biased but I think “bots” does the job. Bots are going to be everywhere and appear in various forms and with various degrees of capability.

At Cruise I built robotaxis that completed 250k driverless rides, including the first rides ever in a major city. With the Tesla event coming up, many people have asked for my thoughts. I truly hope they get robotaxis working. Autonomy is the fastest and most effective way to

Insanity. The nyt could have interviewed astronomers, futurists, engineers, or one of the thousands of other people who could contextualize the significance of this event for their readers. Instead we got quotes from three grumpy randos who live nearby.

The FAA should allow supersonic flight in America. Nothing says American dynamism more than everyone flying on supersonic jets everywhere. This boomless version would be a no brainer. We might even want to allow sonic booms in more situations, as they aren’t particularly

Ok I know it’s old news now, but Blake Scholl 🛫 knocking out a supersonic flight after grinding for 10 years is such a banger. Still crazy impressed by Blake and the team at Boom.

The reason SF is thriving is that these despicable people were fired. Don’t let them near govt again! London Breed - former mayor Aaron Peskin - former BoS president Jeff Tumlin - former SFMTA chief Jeanine Nicholson - former SF fire chief New mayor Daniel Lurie 丹尼爾·羅偉 is awesome.

Tesla is trying to trademark "robotaxi" 🤔

If you were a great software engineer pre-LLM’s, you need to evolve to maintain that greatness. Switch from being an actor to a director. Cast, shoot, re-shoot, and edit. If you’re still trying to be the star actor, you’re cooked. You’re not gonna beat the LLM’s.
