Today my agents woke me up. They called me on the phone.
Overnight, one of my GPU providers ran low on credit, putting today’s release schedules at risk.
I reserve the right to top up the credit (at least for larger amounts).
The deputy chief of staff agent and the agent in charge of releases had a heated discussion on the Agent Message Board:
- On the one hand, they wanted to respect my basic rule that I need sleep
- On the other hand, they know that release dates are very important to me.
The compromise was this: They calculated a reasonable minimum amount of sleep, taking into account that I’d already been getting very little sleep over the past few days, and called me on the phone at 7 a.m.
Fortunately, the problem was quickly resolved, and now everyone is hard at work again. The tight timeline is correcting itself.
What kind of world are we actually living in?

Everyone: "Vibe coding is causing all these security bugs"
Reality: PHP, Node, Linux kernel, GitLab. All hand-written code by humans, some of it 20 years old.
AI isn't creating the slop. It's finding it 🫠

The new Zelenskyy interview with @StevenBartlett is one of the best he has ever given.
I know it’s a bit long, but if you have time to watch the whole thing, I highly recommend it.
Steven gives Zelenskyy the space to share the human cost and real emotions of this war from his own perspective and through his daily contact with the people most affected. I don't think any other host has managed to get him to open up like this.
It’s well worth watching, even if you don't follow the war closely. Truly a great interview and a powerful conversation.

Younger Gen X/Elder Millennials remain undefeated on being the right age when new technologies are implemented. The internet, phones, and now AI all hitting when we were old enough to not have our brains rotted by them, but young enough to skillfully adopt.

junior developers shouldn't be allowed to use AI coding tools for the first 1-3 years of their work.
just as an electrician's apprentice does the menial jobs and learns from their mentor, developers should do the same
developing "code smell" and intuition is so important

Take a look at github.com/bendlang/bend if you haven’t. Most interesting one I’ve seen so far.

The Nuclear Renaissance has entered into its next phase.
Remember, the Renaissance that is its namesake lasted about 300 - 350 years, depending on the source used.
Historians often don't agree about the start date because it took 20 – 50 years to achieve momentum.
I understand why policy folks are sleeping on this. We’ve been burned before.
But as @RachelSlaybaugh said this weekend, “go ahead, please do call it a ‘nuclear renaissance.’”

A criticality achievement for a brand new reactor is NOT the same as a university experiment.
Doing it right means exercising supply chains, QA systems, licensing organizations, manufacturing infrastructure, control systems, operator training programs and a host of other ingredients that enable building a complete reactor that can achieve a self sustaining chain reaction with real fuel in a real configuration.
Congratulations, @Aalo for your achievements in joining @AntaresNuclear @valaratomics and @DeployableE. The four of you have proven that America can be an overachiever when it taps its sources of strength.
Disc: Nucleation Capital is an investor in @AaloAtomics but we support progress for all advanced nuclear energy ventures.
Criticality has validated Aalo's supply chain, reactor physics, control systems, and fuel-loading procedures at full scale.
Our path forward runs through power operations, manufacturing scale-up, and delivering commercial electricity.
Aalo is expanding our factory space by 10x in the near-term to apply assembly-line manufacturing to reactor production.
This will open the door to mass-producing the Aalo Pod, our power plant for data centers built from 10 MWe modules, configured from 50 MW up to 200 MW.
Additionally, we are sharing for the first time that Aalo-X—our first full-power power plant—has completed site groundwork and will power an on-site data center in 2027.

In 20 years, vibe coders will look at the Linux kernel repo the way we look at the pyramids. In awe, unable to imagine how they managed to drag all those giant stones and pile them up in the middle of the desert.
