The coolest thing, imo, about language models solving coding was no longer having to pay a mishmash of "software taxes" that aggregators were previously charging. Rather than buying a generic saas tool, you can just make your own bespoke version that is both cheaper and better-suited for your own use cases.
These same dynamics are greatly magnified in hardware due to strong network effects in prototyping and manufacturing. There are so many little "hardware taxes" that you pay which exist purely because the activation energy to do it yourself is so high, and because there has never been a real open-source movement in hardware the way that there was in software.
Next few months are going to be pretty exciting!

one time i was at a club in sf and the bouncer made me and my friends show him our linkedin profiles
the club was unsurprisingly mid all I'm gonna say

My experience partying all night at Berghain in Berlin made me think of how we're lacking this experience in the San Francisco tech scene. We can literally become the coolest, most tasteful social scene on Earth if we had our version of Berghain, but better. So let's build it. The best aspect of Berhain is how they select who gets in. The club has a vibe and atmosphere, and if you aren't wearing the right clothes or have the right demeanor, you don't get in. That's how you cultivate a tasteful crowd. We can improve on this by only letting in high agency, talented operators in the tech scene who can still pull off dope outfits, so no geeks. SF is in dire need of late night venues, and Berghain goes until 8am. That's a little too crazy for high net worth operators who are changing the world so we could do something like 2am. Berghain also is kinda dark and in a weird building so we'd put the club in a SoMa corporate office that we convert to speakeasy or barcade vibe. Maybe add a quiet area for people to bring their laptops and work? I honestly feel like we're improving on the Berghain form here, especially by swapping out the crowd of weird partiers in inappropriate clothes (or lack there of) with insanely cracked founders and engineers. I'm super stoked about this idea, SF tech could really run the dopest parties on the planet.

must-read for anyone working with robotic manipulators
Takes on end effectors are too binary. People love to claim: "grippers are better than hands!" "tendons are superior!" or "direct drive wins." But its much more nuanced than that... x.com/i/article/2107…
