today our agent learned that Rao nozzles are pretty good when pointed in the right direction

Great article. Agents feel like very low inertia wheels - you can get them spinning very fast very quickly, but they don't hold much momentum. People are what give companies their momentum and AI not replacing that.

I can't think of a more anti-American take. Elon and SpaceX are the most inspiring stories in generations. I've never been more proud of my country. 🇺🇸🚀

Bring it on @JeffBezos We’ve been building the autonomous hardware engineer for the past 2 years. Excited for more builders in the space.

Zuck makes a lot of mistakes but this isn’t one of them. Meta literally had multiple teams of $1m/yr engineers working on teen mental health—and they had the agency to override big product decisions. The story this movie is about is actually a product manager who didn’t get a promotion.

Every CFD engineer knows the pain of kicking off an overnight run, only to come back to diverged residuals, a bad mesh, or wasted compute. @NavierAI's Agent monitors the run, catches issues, updates the setup, and restarts automatically. Finally starting to see the possibilities hands-free CFD.

I respectfully have a different take... A major vendor, @UnionPacific, decided to paint one of its locomotives in patriotic colors to celebrate America’s 250th birthday as it transports components of a NASA rocket. They also decided to paint “45 47” on the train to recognize the sitting President during this important anniversary. Now, I understand if someone served in a different administration, from a different political party, there may be a bias, but through my lens, what Union Pacific is doing is patriotic. We also happen to be celebrating a lot of NASA’s “meaningful achievements,” including the giant Saturn V, the Moon landing, and other historical moments projected on the Washington Monument during America’s 250th birthday. We similarly have those accomplishments displayed at NASA centers to recognize these historic and world-changing achievements, but it is unlikely we can ask vendors to paint them on every locomotive.

All D.C. needed was President Trump!   After years of neglect under Biden, @POTUS brought life back to one of our capital's most visible public spaces, restoring flowing water to the Columbus Circle fountain after 2 DECADES!   Decline is a choice. @POTUS is choosing differently.

Never in my 13 years living in DC have I seen this fountain on. Honestly, I don’t think many Washingtonians thought it would ever come back, especially after last year’s protests. It’s more beautiful than I expected. x.com/reaganreese_/status/20…

This is a terrible take. The @blueorigin team is about to learn so much about their rocket. Space is hard and a failure on the pad sucks, but the post-failure investigation and subsequent updates are going to make NG an even better rocket.

I interview dozens/hundreds of new grads, nearly every day of the year. These are people with a well-formatted resume and a Bachelor's Degree in Engineering from well-regarded US universities and a GPA above 3.6. The majority cannot engineer, cannot function independently, cannot answer basic technical questions. We have watered down standards and inflated grades to the point that a bright, enthusiastic student spending four years in school sends almost no signal at all. What does? Hard evidence of actually building stuff. There is no substitute for actually doing the thing.

Rough day for Blue Origin, but very glad to see no injuries. Early video makes this look like it occurred just after ignition, which is a very different failure regime than Falcon 9’s 2016 AMOS-6 pad loss during propellant load. In that case, SpaceX traced the failure to oxygen trapped around COPVs in the 2nd stage LOX tank. (gif of Amos 6 below) Also glad they didn't have a customer payload integrated - definitely learned from SpaceX there.

Essential lunar base infra. No more LOS on the far side of the moon!

This is very well explained. Also funny that “building for agents” mostly just means building good software.

Pretty CFD pictures are cool. Pretty CFD pictures that help you make better engineering decisions are the point. Quick look at some of the visualization tools we’re building in @NavierAI:

Aero workflows shouldn’t require days of manual setup, babysitting runs, and stitching together reports. We’re building Navier so engineers can go from intent → simulation database → insight with dramatically less friction.
