New essay: How to Make a Living as an Artist Began eight years ago. Finally finished. essays.fnnch.com/make-a-living
One of the coolest 3d real estate demos I've seen in a while. Treedis brings together gaussian splats for area understanding → BIM data to check which units are available → Matterport for indoor views → and image editing AI to restyle decor and see different times of day. The…
I know things have felt bleak in the industry, but in the past week, we extended offers to three phenomenal female founders and have several more compelling companies in the pipeline. Excited about the momentum and a new era of so many brilliant founders!
LLMs are injective and invertible. In our new paper, we show that different prompts always map to different embeddings, and this property can be used to recover input tokens from individual embeddings in latent space. (1/6)
couple great memes from DERVOS
eenews.net/articles/fossi… "Renewable forms of electricity provided more than 80 percent of new demand in China last year, according to new research by Ember, a global energy think tank. Then, in the first half of this year, it met all new demand for power in the country, pushing…
As always, @MLiebreich on the money in his latest. "Yergin and co. play several other games. They promote the so-called primary energy fallacy, by which the world’s apparent dependence on fossil fuels is inflated. The real figure is not 80% but 68%, because of the differential…
Solo founders are underestimated. We’re changing that. In May we launched the Solo Founders Program (<1% acceptance rate) for six founders to build together in SF. 60 days in: millions raised, 35k GitHub stars, rapid growth. Join us: Fall 2025 applications close soon.
Absolutely insane statistic: China is building 3/4 of all solar and wind globally: 510/689GW under construction on.ft.com/4lr7QjW via @FT

China is building 74% of all current solar and wind projects, report says
Beijing is dominating construction of renewable energy sources, according to Global Energy Monitor
You basically standardize on a “home usb-c” that’s like a kilowatt @ 48VDC. Your panel is ~a USB hub. Electricians aren’t required as it’s like running Ethernet lines. Main question is HVAC / Hot water: you probably want a couple kilowatts, so just run multiple channels?
Batteries localized to appliances reduce supply wire size. Imagine a home with one wire size. Simple to wire. Simple to train wire installers. Faster construction.
Solar has material summer capacity value for systems with summer loss of load expectation, at least until a certain point of solar penetration. It also has synergistic capacity value w/ storage, as @ArneOlsonE3 et al have repeatedly demonstrated. dms.psc.sc.gov/Attachments/Ma…
imagining winning a 2030s world war after deporting every h1b and refusing to use battery technology. not possible.
The US is falling behind the curve on solar power – a key energy source of the 21st century. We are losing our edge to China on the technology that we originally invented. Now Senate republicans want to take out our solar industry at the knees in their "Big Beautiful Bill":
It's peak demand time right now in Texas. A thousand megawatts of gas & coal plants have gone offline TODAY, more than 10,000 total. Plenty of power bc solar is cranking out >23,000 megawatts ON PEAK. Your policy is one of energy subtraction that will hurt grid reliability and…
We want the lights and air-conditioning to work all summer long, ESPECIALLY at peak demand time. With @POTUS advancing energy addition, NOT subtraction, we will be able to do so for the hottest summers to come.
If I may artistically retweet @tomfriedman’s retweet of @Noahpinion, and the geo-strategic blunder we can yet still fix: They “have decided to think of batteries as a culture-war issue instead of one of national security. and “They think they’re attacking hippie-dippy green…
FUSION☀️ overtakes FISSION☢️
I know we aren’t supposed to interrupt the group chat discourse with woke nonsense like the habitability of our planet, but possibly the most intense heat wave on record is unfolding from Sub-Saharan Africa to East Asia and it’s getting zero attention.
ABSOLUTE INSANITY Unbelievable hot nights in CENTRAL ASIA Thousands of records of April hottest nights brutalized with the hugest margins ever seen in world climatic history (locally 10C+ above monthly records !) Anything happened anywhere is nothing to what it's happening now
this is a long read, but i had some time to think over dinner and wanted to share a few thoughts and provide a plan forward: 0. i’ve had a lot of very memorable days on the internet over the past 30 years, but this one tops them all. my wife yi and i are unbelievably grateful to…
How Libra Was Killed. I never shared this publicly before, but since @pmarca opened the floodgates on @joerogan’s pod, it feels appropriate to shed more light on this. As a reminder, Libra (then Diem) was an advanced, high-performance, payments-centric blockchain paired with a…
Often forgotten! We’ve added GWs of capacity to the existing nuclear fleet by never adding a single new plant. If you’re willing to make the investment, these assets can burn hotter or more efficiently and add significant capacity without ever building a new plant.
There are 2-8 GW of power uprates to the existing fleet available before 2030
