We are excited to share this raw flight footage including take-off and landing, all with real sound. No special effects, no CGI, no AI, pure engineering. Enjoy the future! A fully functional real-world "speeder bike" that so far only existed in sci-fi movies is finally here.

there's such a quaint poetry about the fact that heavy dirty kerosene and complex polymer chains serve best for getting off the earth while the celestial bodies are best served by the more ethereal fuels

The iconic orange streak of #VandeBharatExpress powers through the challenging terrain, harmonising with the landscape as it gracefully crosses the awe-inspiring Anji Bridge and Chenab Bridge.

the engineers who design these machines for weird random physical tasks in manufacturing are so cool. "hey we need a bottle stander upper machine, can you do it?" "sure thing, itll be a big wheel and we'll slap em. we'll just the slap the shit out of em"

It's funny how the earth isn't that big in r¹ terms, is very big in r² terms, and is essentially infinite in r³ terms. "How long to fly there?" -> "hours" "How many cities can we make?" -> "quite a few, but you can run out of land" "How much aluminum can you mine?" -> "unlimited"

this is something that should stir you from the inside. it does not matter if you are an engineer writing code, a scientist building the next quantum computer, or a school kid building strange little contraptions out of curiosity. this is the call for you to build something for

*- Watch the video in landscape with screen brightness high. While on orbit I tried to capture pictures and videos so that I can share this journey with you all. This is a Timelapse video of Bharat from space. The ishaan is moving from south to north from the Indian Ocean. We are

Google's PageRank algorithm looked like just another academic paper in 1996. Larry and Sergey spent two years crawling the web from their dorm room, building link graphs that used up almost Stanford's entire network bandwidth. Their search results were marginally better than

Yes. I recently invested in a startup making the best possible *propulsion turbojets and ground power turbogenerators* because CEO wants to push materials. Leap ahead materials EMERGENT VIA MFG MACHINES have a deep incompatibility with the way fiat capital management works.
