Latest progress on 'one elevation model to rule them all'. This example is a combination of nautical charts, gridded bathymetry, topographic elevation models, and more. Really cool...

Block IV on the production floor and in the water. Improvements in performance, deployability, and manufacturability will let us scale to hundreds of units per month early next year.

on a call with the new team. nobody said "we'll give folks a few minutes to trickle in" and the guy presenting didn’t even ask "can everyone see my screen?"

As you become an adult, you realize that things around you weren't just always there; people made them happen. But only recently have I started to internalize how much tenacity *everything* requires. That hotel, that park, that railway. The world is a museum of passion projects.

“Allow once”
🇩🇰 UXV Technologies (@UXVTech) introduced SRoC SingleGrip, a lightweight, compact and intuitive one-handed controller for unmanned systems. "Based on a modular systems approach, the SRoC features an open-architecture design and advanced capabilities, such as Swappable Radio Modules (SRM), USB-C and Nett Warrior compatibility. Two Swappable Battery Modules (SBM) also enable easy power expansion." Learn more >> tinyurl.com/29rn9jrb

The black ink on cream paper just hits so much harder.
We owe those who serve the UK the kit to do the job and the loyalty to stand by them when it's done. We are failing on both. I’ve spent my whole time in government making that case. Number 10 will not listen, so I am resigning as Minister for the Armed Forces. Letter to the PM below.🫡🫡🫡⬇️⬇️

if you are a wizard with vector tiles and are called to the seas, look no further:
At @zydromarine we love pushing the limits of maritime geospatial data in the browser. Pictured: our recent work visualizing charts, bathymetry, subsea perception & more... pushing the boundaries of what you can do with vector tiles If this seems cool, we're hiring! (below)

TIL that Škoda made a bicycle bell that can cut through ANC headphones. Most ANC systems use adaptive filtering (like LMS) at a very basic level, it models the incoming noise and generate an anti-phase signal to cancel it. Works best for steady and predictable sounds. Škoda's research found that around 750 - 780Hz ANC struggles a lot so they made their bell to target this particular frequency they added irregular, transient dual tones that are hard to model in real time this comes from a dual-resonator design : one tuned to ~750-780 Hz (ANC weak spot) using a cantilever tine, and another at higher frequencies (~2 KHz+) like a normal bell, so it’s not a single clean tone So instead of being louder, it’s just… harder to cancel. Pretty neat example of exploiting system limitations with pure analog design. skoda-storyboard.com/en/skod… cdn.skoda-storyboard.com/202…

Consistency, service after service, is the mark of an excellent saucier. Listen to Ripert talking about catching the blossoming and fading of flavors.
There’s something almost mystical about the sauce station. At Le Bernardin, our sauciers make 30 sauces a day, twice a day, guided by taste and feel rather than precise measurements. Listen in on a meeting about the craft of the sauce station.

Wanted: Claude Dataroom. In static mode, it's just a better Docsend. In Claude mode, I'd talk to the entire dataroom: extend or modify financials, query legal docs, create my own FAQs/tearsheets based on things Claude knows I care about. Company gets way better analytics: "here's how viewers are talking to your dataroom, so you may just want to address these topics head on."

Folks up at Ft. Meade for sure picking up the phone asking Pentagon to cool it on Dario right now.
