One theory I’ve been floating is that the rush to go public is to get it done before Warren is back in power.

I benchmarked Apple's brand-new Core AI (WWDC'26) against MLX and CoreML for on-device LLMs on an iPhone 17 Pro. The results surprised me. Qwen3-0.6B Decode speed (tok/s): • Core AI (GPU, pipelined): 180 warm 🥇 • MLX (GPU): 115 • Core AI (ANE): 50 • CoreML-LLM (ANE): 39

@conorsen Love to subsidize the lifestyles of the wealthy old people hoarding all the single family homes near me. Makes me feel just great in my 1BR apartment.

SpaceX has just unveiled their next-generation Starlink terminals, which will be made in much higher volume than the current terminals. "Elon: We ultimately think there will be a few hundred million Starlink terminals out there." No info yet on specs/dimensions, but they look a little more rounded off.

SpaceX has just officially unveiled its AI1 satellite, the first generation of its AI satellite. Overall Specs: • 150 kW peak compute payload • 120 kW average compute payload • 70 kW per ton • Compute provider interchangeable Dimensions: • Wingspan: 70 meters • Deployed height: 20 meters Thermal System: • 110 m² deployable liquid radiator • Redundant pumping loops • Integrated micrometeoroid shielding • Deployable liquid radiators Solar Power System: • 150 kW solar array • 250 W/m² • SpaceX-manufactured solar technology from Bastrop, Texas Architecture: • Centralized compute module • Large deployable solar arrays • Deployable liquid-radiator thermal management system • AI-focused compute satellite design ("AI1 satellite") Elon: "The AI satellite is much simpler than a Starlink satellite. The AI satellite is essentially a lot of solar cells, you still need some laser links, but you don't have all of the super complex antennas that you have on a Starlink satellite. The easier one to design for is the AI satellite. It's bigger. A lot of this is technology we've already made with the Starlink V3 satellites."

In WWDC 2022, I published principles for deploying Transformers on the Apple Neural Engine. 4 years later, Apple turned those principles into instructions for agents, so on-device transformers are accessible to non-experts from Day 1. More bullish than ever for on-device to become the developer default.

We are still very early in the space exploration era.

If you are in the area for #WWDC26, it’s definitely worth visiting the Computer History Museum. They are hosting an Apple 50th anniversary exhibit featuring rare prototypes and more.

There’s a tax revolt simmering under the surface among California *Democrats.* I suspect folks will be surprised by the results on some of the numerous tax proposals on the ballot this fall.

Interesting read. Even as most big companies have put in place return-to-office mandates it’s still structurally easier for talent to pick where to live (a suburb of Denver or Dallas rather than NY/CA) than it used to be, and it will continue to get easier.

SFO is unusable for regional flights since the FAA shut down the parallel runway. Avoid at all costs. I commute weekly. Trust me.

This is the check area at ⁦@united⁩ airlines at #SFO. The lines are wrapped around the terminal and no customer agents to direct anyone. It is total chaos.

Wow, the S&P Dow Jones Indices has just officially announced that they will NOT be changing their inclusion rules to make it easier for “MegaCap” companies (such as @SpaceX) to be fast-tracked into the S&P 500. Their reasoning: "S&P DJI determined that exceptions to the financial viability, seasoning, and IWF requirements should not be granted solely based on market capitalization. The decision not to adopt the proposed exceptions preserves core index principles by maintaining consistent application of these key requirements. Although there may be trade-offs between strict adherence to these eligibility requirements and broad representativeness, the current methodology provides substantial market coverage and sector balance. As a result, the indices can continue to meet their stated objectives while preserving their role as representative and investable benchmarks for the U.S. equity market. No changes will be made to the eligibility criteria including financial viability screens, seasoning period, or minimum IWF, for the S&P 500, S&P MidCap 400, or S&P SmallCap 600 as a result of the S&P Dow Jones Indices consultation on the treatment of MegaCap companies. Accordingly, there will be no changes to existing methodology for this index family." This means that the earliest @SpaceX could be eligible to be added to the S&P 500 would now be June 2027. The requirements that will now remain in place are: • No changes to S&P 500 eligibility rules for mega-cap companies. • Mega-cap companies will still need to wait 12 months after their IPO before being considered for S&P 500 inclusion. • S&P will not waive profitability requirements for mega-cap companies. The company must have positive GAAP net income in the most recent quarter, and the sum of the most recent four consecutive quarters. • S&P will not waive minimum public float requirements for mega-cap companies. At least 10% of a company's shares must be publicly tradable ("free float"). The S&P rejected proposals that would have: • Reduced the IPO seasoning period from 12 months to 6 months • Waived profitability requirements • Waived minimum public float requirements

(Nothing with nefarious intent, but I can see the potential for a rogue AI or user to cause some problems.)

Interesting. This equipment isn’t super widely available, but is also not wildly expensive. I anecdotally heard of some irresponsible uses of it since the start of the pandemic. 👀

Sam Altman, Dario Amodei, Demis Hassabis and many others have signed a letter urging Congress to increase security on orders of synthetic nucleic acids - and the equipment needed to make them - as models continue to become increasingly bio-capable.

If you think SpaceX is a rocket company with an internet business, you're basically valuing Amazon on book sales in 2005.

THIS GUY LIVES UNDER SFO'S TAKEOFF PATH SO HE BUILT A CEILING PROJECTOR THAT TRACKS EVERY PLANE FLYING OVER HIS HOUSE IN REAL TIME he uses a cheap $30 radio receiver to pick up the signals that planes broadcast while flying. then projects them onto his ceiling in real time when a jet flies over his house you hear it outside and at the exact same moment a plane glides across his ceiling labeled with the airline, aircraft type, and destination pure black background so the projector's rectangle disappears and only the aircraft are visible but he didn't stop at planes it also draws the real sky behind them. sun, moon, bright stars, constellations, and live satellites including the ISS. all at their true positions for his exact location and time in real time so he's lying in bed watching the actual night sky projected onto his ceiling with real planes crossing through it as they take off from SFO there is a huge market for every man alive that runs outside to see the helicopter vibe coded the whole thing himself with a cheap radio, a projector, and some clever software

i opted for a polar grid based machine as opposed to traditional cartesian motion which produces this funky jitter on every piece drawn on it.
