How does this compare to what Physical Intelligence is up to?

My understanding is that Gemini OCR is now considered state of the art and a material step forward in OCR accuracy

What does Starship reusability mean for $/kg to LEO? I know there are longer term targets of $10/kg but that supposes efficiencies that aren’t here yet. Would be helpful to understand before Starship reusability where the state of the art was in terms of $/kg to LEO and where we would be with impending Starship reusability.

Meta has a history of churning out MVPs and doubling down on what works. Launching with a desktop client, EU, etc are in direct opposition to a lean MVP. Meta definitely has some missteps but not sure this is one.

Tying in to Instagram was what made it resonate with such a large audience vs all the other Twitter clones. Carrying over the social graph was a wise decision imho.

The Starship analogy makes little sense as well. Starship is not an MVP and well on track to continue to push forward the state of the art of rocket engineering.

I would argue that it is the only programming tutorial that could be called literature.

Mueller talks about “ pharmaceuticals, or materials, or semiconductors” production shifting to space. Can anyone expand on this please? What aspects of these industries is better done in space? How large (in revenue) are those portions of those industries? Thanks!

I was rejected by YC and still point to them (namely, the combo of PG’s essays and HN comment wisdom) as the greatest single source of startup advice as I’ve built a company in the 9-10 figure range. Thank you YC! You have done so much for the startup community!

Why are they doing this? Trickle down effects for their mass market products? There is no way that the prosumer market is big enough to justify this distraction for Apple even if it used to be their core business line.

Seems like an especially smart investment. Tycoons purchasing storied media assets usually have to contend with journalistic integrity when trying to push their agenda. Binance will not have any such challenges with Forbes.

My business received about 1.25M from PPP. It was essential cash flow for us and helped save the business (from a cashflow pov) but it was also 100% a massive handout. On a systemic level it makes some sense I guess, but at a micro level it seemed like a bailout to the people who needed it the least. There is also basically no reason it had to be a handout vs an actual loan that required repayment.

A close friend of mine sold them a business. They are quick as advertised but pay bottom of the barrel multiples. Helpful if you need cash quick I guess.
