Newton and @kevinroose have licensed their show to NPR. @dee_bosa has licensed hers to Yahoo Finance. I’ve licensed mine to NBC News. This is the future of journalism: own your work, build independently, distribute and partner with others.
Breaking: Former "Hard Fork" hosts @kevinroose and @CaseyNewton "are bringing their newest venture, Machine Gods, to NPR." The twice-weekly show will launch next month. npr.org/2026/09/16/g-s1-1434…

It all starts with a single hair. From that hair, Feanix sequences an animal’s whole genome for just a few dollars, then combines it with real-world farm data like health, feed, production, weather, and economics.
What used to be a costly, luxury diagnostic can now become the foundation for how a farm operates.
With Autopilot, Feanix puts farms on autopilot, turning all that data into decisions about which animals to breed, treat, move, or sell.
Better decisions for each animal = better outcomes across the farm. feanixbio.com

Amir Mashal started @arcturustechinc to tackle a massive problem: our grid was built for a different century, and nearly 15% of U.S. electricity is lost before we use it.
After building the first prototype in his garage, Amir and the team are developing high-performance conductors designed to run cooler, carry more power, and last longer.
We’re proud to lead Arcturus’ $8 million seed round, with participation from @1517fund, @Toyota_Ventures, @Breakthrough, @WireframeVC, and @ClimateCap.
A massive congratulations to Amir and his team on officially coming out of stealth today!

🎙️ High Bit, Initialized's founder podcast, is recording live June 23 at Cafe Du Nord, SF.
@brettdg sits down with @dakshgup (@greptile) and @EliSchleifer (@trunkio) to get into what changes for your eng team when AI writes the code.
Do you still need eng managers?
Do tickets even make sense anymore?
What happens when a small team suddenly ships like a big one?
Free, drinks included, part of Deep Tech Week SF.
See you there.

If you’re in Chicago and want to see the robotics revolution happening in full force, stop by
New HQ. Open doors. Live robots.
Come see what's actually running at food and CPG plants across North America - in person, on our floor.
June 11 | 4-6 PM | Bolingbrook, IL
No pitch. Just demos and drinks.

The New Media Landscape
Attention. Distribution. Power.
Creators can now build media channels and reach millions of fans faster — and at a fraction of the cost of previous eras.
We are entering a new era: the dawn of new media.
Creators are going direct. Journalists are going independent. Content is becoming timely or timeless. Brands are hiring heads of new media to stay relevant.
We mapped 270+ emerging new media channels shaping how — and from whom — people consume news, trends, startups, and technology.
Every creator and new media channel deserves attention — and a community to call home. This is our mission.
Don’t see your channel listed? Add it or explore all channels at new-media.co!
This is the era of NEW MEDIA!
Spectacular. 🌎♥️
Good morning, world! 🌎
We have spectacular new high-resolution images of our home planet, all of us looking back through the Orion capsule window at our Artemis II astronauts as they continue their journey to the Moon.

ALT One-third of Earth peeking through the window of the Orion capsule. The planet is a dreamy pale blue, swirling with white clouds and reflected sunlight. Although Earth only fills a fraction of the image it is the brightest object in the image by far. The capsule window is surrounded by a thick frame held in place with bolts, reminiscent of a heavy duty airplane window. It is dark in the capsule, but the outlines of straps and various components of the capsule are visible. Brighter white components are visible in the upper right corner. Credit: NASA/Reid Weisman

Artemis II is a milestone. But getting to the Moon isn’t the hard part anymore, staying there is.
Every Artemis mission is still constrained by a fundamental limitation: fuel. That approach doesn’t scale to a real space economy.

4 founders on what it means to work at a startup right now.
Why right now matters:
"We melted sand, turned it into chips, and the chips are thinking. That is an enormous step forward — and to not be taking advantage of that would be a disservice to your career, and maybe a disservice to progress for humanity." — @lucas0choa, @automat_ai

The future is electromagnetic.
One challenge is that there are ~ten people in the world who can deeply intuit electromagnetism. RF engineering is "black magic."
Arena Physica thinks machines can intuit EM better.
CEO Pratap Ranade & I on AI for EM:
notboring.co/p/electromagnet…
Fascinating stuff.
Today, I’m excited to introduce @arenaphysica. For the past few years, we’ve been quietly partnering with companies pushing the frontier of hardware like @AMD , @anduriltech and @SiversSemicond – deep in the guts of their most complex machines. Where applied physics, specifically the laws of electromagnetism, dictate performance. Electromagnetism is a domain poorly suited to LLMs, and a domain I spent most of my physics PhD trying to understand.
At Arena Physica, we are in pursuit of electromagnetic superintelligence.
We believe that a new class of foundation model will let humans push farther into our understanding of physics and will let us wield forces like EM that shape our world, but are fundamentally unintuitive to humans.
It was an honor to partner with my favorite essayist, @packyM to explain how electromagnetism secretly runs the world

Replying to @ryanalshak
@ryanalshak is one of the most determined and inspirational founders I’ve ever supported. Congrats to him and the whole team. Great things ahead! fortune.com/2025/06/10/exclu…

What if hardware dev moved as fast as software?
Arena built Atlas—an AI hardware engineer that shortens the design loop by 1000x.
No more endless re-spins. Just fast, physics-grounded iteration.
The future of hardware starts here ↓
Today, I'm excited to announce @TheArenaAI's $30M Series B and to introduce Atlas – an AI hardware engineer that is used by many of the world's most respected and ambitious hardware companies – in semiconductors, aerospace, automotive, medical devices, and defense.
We’re hiring software engineers, electrical engineers, design engineers, and ML scientists who want to alter humanity’s innovation trajectory for hardware.
A meaningful acceleration in hardware innovation will let us achieve space colonization, develop breakthrough medicines, unlock nanorobotics and commercialize nuclear fusion centuries sooner than we could at our current course and speed.
Come build with us or sign up for early access (links in comments)!

Import goods? You’ve probably overpaid on duties. Pax AI uses machine learning to unlock tariff refunds. The duty drawback process used to be paperwork hell. Now it's automated.
