Holy smokes
After six years in stealth, Atomic Machines is out. Our mission: on-demand, universal command of matter. First beachhead: the Matter Compiler, an AI-native manufacturing system that builds working micro-machines from code alone. No per-product tooling. No process development. Different code, different machine.

He was khat red handed
90% of adult Yemeni men use khat.
Growing it consumes half of Yemen's arable land and 40% of its scarce renewable water.
Households devote 49% of daily spending to khat, far outpacing food and water at 24%
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The post overstates figures: representative data show ~72% of Yemeni men chew khat (not 90%), it occupies ~15% of cultivated land (not half) while using ~35-40% of irrigation/renewable water, and average household spending is ~10% (not 49%, vs higher food shares).

Ive done this several times - sometimes with 3 - and it was not an issue. Actually was a pleasure to be with them in instances where they were sick or scared of getting a shot. Buck up and parent.
So overwhelmed you had time to set your camera up..
You know why you donβt see men take their kids to the pedestrian? Because they donβt film themselves doing it!
