some exciting tech news this morning — anduril is building the first american-made computer in 20 years
Today, @anduriltech and @qualcomm announced a new laptop that will eventually be 100% made in America, a “first step” toward creating a market for U.S.-manufactured components and total technological self-sufficiency.
Building computers in America should be a matter of “national pride,” says @PalmerLuckey.

Tomorrow on Cheeky Pint: Scott Kirby from @United breaks down the airline business for @benthompson and me: how they play the gate/slot contest, Starlink changing their competitive dynamics, and how everyone needs to stop outsourcing their thinking to surveys.

This week @elonmusk challenged the industry and @bscholl @boomsupersonic delivered.
On Tuesday’s $SPCX earnings call, Elon talked about how to quicken the pace to get power up and running: “Casting is the real bottleneck. And if anything, it seems to be getting worse. So that means that SpaceX can bring power on line 12 to 18 months faster than anyone else. That's the kind of advantage that's difficult to replicate unless someone else is doing advanced casting".
Today, Boom announced the world's first all-digital foundry to cast single crystal turbine blades and vanes.
Congrats to Blake and the Boom team on the huge milestone. We’re thrilled to be investors in both @boomsupersonic and @SpaceX, solving AI’s biggest bottleneck and reindustrializing America.

Well well @deeptechweek has wrapped for 2026
It was a fun experiment to see how much I could grow it this year - went from 2 to 7 cities, averaging around 3k attendees per city and ~28 events per week. It went from a 'once in a while passion project' to a 'rapidly growing profitable business'
I'll be adding another 5-6 cities next year, each a recurring annual event. 3 in the US and a couple more international. San Diego, Boston, Bangalore, Tokyo, Sydney, Paris, Zurich, Denver, are all candidates.
Overall theres been 65k attendees, 9,400 founders, 5,500 investors and 8,000 engineers and scientists.
I think this makes it credibly the largest deep tech startup community on the planet, and, I think I can double it in 2027.
I will write up some thoughts on how I see the deep tech ecosystem evolving and what comes next!
And I'll start building out some more mcp surface area so attendees and hosts can fully leverage the social graph backend to find customers, investors, cofounders, startups, and so on.
Also theres like a hundred hours of recorded talks going up within the next week.
I think this is a reasonable "first product" for @hyperstition_x, there are two more in the works, more in the realm of sci-fi.

Lots of VCs kindof sound like this: "Your basketball team doesn't have a moat, any healthy human can throw the ball into the basket thingy. "
People who have not run companies before don't understand how much the team matters more than some imagined structural moat.

for the record, this is how the chinese government thought about jack ma, and why it ultimately destroyed him. there is really no philosophical difference between our hard left and their hard left. and the only practical difference is their hard left's in power.

Economist verdict on CA Wealth Tax: "The present value of permanently lost income tax collections from departures more than offsets the one-time wealth tax revenue, yielding a net present value of negative $38.9 billion."

We need to save US manufacturing puppies. One dies everytime an iPhone autocorrects "reindustrialization" to "deindustrialization."

The flag she tells you not to worry about
Anatar set a new record by producing and installing this 32' x 62' American flag in two weeks for @HadrianInc. Sewn seams, sewn stars, and unbridled patriotism.

Jet lag is kind of holy to me. I'm tired because I flew. I flew too fast too far. My body misses a different sun
