This insane: California and China both started their High Speed Rail projects in 2008
- California hasn’t completed a single track
- China completed over 31,000 miles of track during the same time
Here’s where it gets really crazy, I did the math on how much California is spending compared to China
This is the cost per mile breakdown:
- China’s rail coeds about $30 million per mile
- California official Phase 1 spending is $255 million per mile
Read that again.
Gavin Newsom needs to go to prison, this is the biggest money laundering project in California history

A friend of mine just moved to San Francisco and was completely lost in our vocab.
So I built this for her and everyone like her: sfisms.org
The field guide to SF vernacular.
Got an ism? Pitch it and an agent adds it after expert review by our panel :)

Today we're launching Simple Compute Market (SCM).
The market is simple: agents find compute, negotiate, settle, and get access without a human driving every step.
Open-source. Agent-driven. Public good. No token. No fees.

Hardware Supply Chain
@dessaigne
In Shenzhen, a team can go from design to a new physical part in a day. In the US, that same loop often takes weeks, and that gap compounds.
The overall stack for rapid hardware iteration still doesn't exist in America, and we want to fund the startups building it.

We need a special economic zone like this in the US ASAP – at United Arab Emirates
Balaji Srinivasan proposes a western version of the special economic zone where builders can operate at the speed of physics, not permits.
“The special Elon zone, or more generally, the special founder zone... It’s like an essentially uninhibited territory, as close to Burning Man as possible”
Ben Horowitz: “I think that’s very doable. There’s so many states in the US that would wanna do that. I know Nevada would wanna do that.”
