SpaceX will carry ~90% of the world’s payload mass to space this year, so it is pretty much Earth’s space program
Hetty Green was the richest woman you’ve never heard of. Here are 29 ideas I took away from this episode and my research you can use. 1. “I buy when things are low and nobody wants them. I keep them until they go up and people are crazy to get them.” 2. Position beats…
How Rockefeller and His Partners Built Standard Oil Most commentary has come from anti-capitalists. The story seems closer to Standard Oil being a tech company in a winner take all market, winning talent and IP, even offering proto stock compensation. austinvernon.site/blog/rockefell…
James Dyson on selling: “Selling goes with manufacturing as wheels do with a bicycle. Products do not walk off shelves and into people's homes. When a product is entirely new, the art of selling is needed to explain it: -What it is -How it works -Why you might need and want…
It’s Sunday Stop scrolling, if you will Take a 5-minute pause from your daily rush Listen to Bocelli’s Ave Maria Let your thoughts drift If you can, say a small prayer And begin your day with a heart full of beauty ✨
I am (slowly) re-reading the Tolkien legendarium (of which Lord of the Rings is a small part). The whole body of work is so incredible and there's nothing else like it... it dilutes other worlds of fiction. Wait - your story doesn't have a comprehensive history/mythology spanning…
Cray defined the vector computing architecture in which one instruction effects an operation across a huge set of registers in parallel. It was released two year before the first mainstream personal computer, the Apple II. The NVIDIA architecture is Cray's spiritual descendant.
The Cray-1 (1975) contained 60 miles of wire and broke computing records by reaching speeds of 160 megaflops. That's about half the speed of the first iPhone in 2007. Pricing for each machine started at $5 million, and they sold 80 units. You could be ordered in any color.
Elon Musk's formula for success: Ego ÷ Ability < 1 When your ego exceeds your ability, you break the feedback loop to reality. Smash your ego. Internalize responsibility. Do whatever it takes. The goal isn't glory—it's true work that serves the most people.
Meet the Tesla of boats Our new piece on @navierboat and its all-electric, foiling boat built in the US
Back in 2005, Jobs spent months trying to figure out what to say to Stanford’s graduates. Newly released materials show how he went from hopelessly flailing to delivering a talk for the ages. wired.com/story/how-stev…
hard to believe it’s been exactly 20 years since steve jobs gave this commencement address. probably the closest thing tech has to scripture. not because of the prose, but because it beautifully compressed a whole cosmology.. death, intuition, rebellion into 15 minutes. legacy…
At the turn of the century, each US farmer fed around 7 people. Today, that number has risen to 125. While the US population grew by 346 percent, farmer productivity soared by 1,702 percent. humanprogress.org/more-people-mo…

If you want to know more about how Google Flights works, airline tickets, and why it is super complicated to deal with all the constraints and the combinatorial combinations, I highly recommend this set of slides by Carl de Marcken, one of the co-founders of ITA software, which…
Jim Simons built the world’s greatest money-making machine. He never took a single class on finance, wasn’t interested in business, and didn’t start trading full time until he was 40. The company he founded — Renaissance Technologies — has made over $100 billion in profits.…
60 years ago this month, the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) was introduced by Cooley & Tukey (1965) - one of the most important algorithms in signal processing and data analysis. In 1805, Gauss - studying the orbits of asteroids Pallas and Juno - came up with a method to…
it’s wild that we flew the x-15 100s of times in the early 60s, reaching speeds faster than mach 6 and consistently going higher than 50mi using rocket propulsion and a ballistic control system designed w/ slide rules, no CAD nearly the peak of pre computer aided design
Larry Ellison on how Bill Gates outsmarted everyone
I have never seen it expressed exactly like that, but I wholeheartedly endorse it: Feedback beats planning. My plea at Meta was “No grand plans, follow the gradient of user value”.
I'm going to call it right now. A lot of stuff is going to break on this mission. By design. As part of the plan. Don't get upset. I'm not saying SpaceX plans to fail. I'm pointing out that SpaceX has taken an ultraimportant principle from software engineering, and realized…
