Tesla's AI data flywheel 🚘♻️🤖 The Tesla fleet gathers more miles of driving data each week than Waymo has in its entire existence. It was a brilliant move to equip all cars with the full sensor stack (just cameras) long before FSD shipped. From 1:25 of

Changing the human dialog on nuclear energy. Now that’s rad! ☢ The nuclear survival kit from Isabelle Boemeke has arrived. She is a nuclear energy influencer, and her book is clear, compelling and full of graphic illustrations. Consider the harm done by fear-mongering to date. Had the world fully embraced nuclear instead of coal 65 years ago, the majority of anthropogenic CO2 would not exist in the atmosphere today. Nixon had such a plan, and had it happened, the U.S. would have had 100% clean electricity today. Beyond the millions of dead from coal particulates, and potentially billions to come from climate change, the human dialog on nuclear energy has directly killed more people from stress than nuclear energy itself. Fear has failed us.

The New 🌖 Space Race China will try to beat the U.S. in human spaceflight to the moon. CNSA announced the successful first test of their Lanyue lunar lander this week. Lanyue (揽月, “embracing the moon”) is designed for human lunar exploration. From:

A menagerie of glass curtains draped from trees of stone. Gaudi's masterpiece is unlike any other cathedral, as was his technique to figure out the load bearing curves for the complex branching arches... long before computer design tools. Gaudi used hanging weights and strings to design his structures, as seen in the last photo. After drawing out the ground plan of the crypt, he flipped it upside down and hung a string from each point where a column would stand and transmit the thrust of the structure into the foundations. Then he joined the hanging strings with cross strings to stimulate arches and vaults, attaching to each string a little cotton bag of bird shot, carefully weighted to mimic the compressive load on each column, arch and vault. Naturally, none of the strings in these complicated cats' cradles hung vertically. All the loads in them were pure tension — the only way string, with little resistance to bending, will hang. It is like an application-specific analog computer to find the optimal curvature between a network of connection points, some midway along the curve of another. Gaudi then photographed the string model from all angles and turned the photos upside down. Tension became compression. And the lines show how the arches were to be built, often with two stones the same. No one in the history of architecture had gone about designing a building in this way. And the sun-splashed sinews are gorgeous. The supports for the weight above come from the inner columns (no flying buttresses as with a Gothic cathedral). The stone of the walls are just enough to frame the glass. I suspect it could have been an open air cathedral, with no walls at all. It is so light and airy, unlike any other I have experienced.

The Spectrum of Workplace Robots 🤖🛒 I'm in the @ZyphraAI board meeting today, and a robot from passes by, so I went out to see what it was up to, and there were humanoids too, but cordoned off with signage that these aren’t the droids you’re looking for
