“Close enough” is no longer enough.
AI is moving beyond images and into real-world physics.
In Episode 2 of @TheProtoPod , Steven Gay & Jakub Čech (Mode Maison) break down what that means for design, simulation, and manufacturing.

Spacecraft avionics don’t get built by accident.
They get built by people like Joe Cavazos — four decades in NASA & NewSpace, mastering FPGA systems, C&DH, and rock-solid test architecture.
A must-listen for engineers & builders.
