To get there, we’re assembling a team of the world’s best engineers, scientists and operators.
We’re a team of 28 and growing quickly. You don’t need a PhD to contribute (only a fifth of us do). What you do need is determination, creativity, and a history of outstanding execution on hardware projects.

Last month, we demonstrated high-rate alchemy: turning mercury into real, stable gold, beating CERN’s record by a factor of 10.
Last week, we enriched isotopes in the world’s most powerful plasma centrifuge, beating the Soviet record that stood for 40 years.
Now, we’re building a fusion reactor in San Francisco to achieve record power density.

This Fall, I'm teaching a new "Hands-on Robot Learning" class at @JHUCompSci
A full-stack class where students will get SO-101 robot kits, build robots out, collect data, train and deploy learned policies/WAMs/agents/etc.
Materials will be posted here:

new account + reach currently limited to people who can see my monitor. hi.
real news anyway: @neuralink summer 2027 internships are open. tell us about your three sickest projects.
"n/a" is not a project. good luck

600mm Mitutoyo calipers. Hand for scale. Manouvering these calipers to measure a part will be like wielding a sword.
In light of the Navier-Stokes solution I think it is very important to consider Terence Tao's perspective. The field of mathematics grows through the struggle of getting to a solution. If there's minimal struggle the field is poorer.

Thank you Tim and Jacob Weissman from @the_air_hockey_centerline (Instagram account) for your visit and also for your data! :) It was very fun.
At high noon yesterday we had a man vs machine showdown in the Project Lab.
Here is a glimpse of the aftermath:

As a weekend note. This is the introduction to Steven J. Wallach's Eagle architecture: "Nothing in this world is so powerful as an idea whose time has come." Victor Hugo.
Maybe the AI should also sprinkle introspective quotes at the beginning of each chapter of the ISA specifications. This might improve impedance matching to human readers - if any are going to read the ISA.
