no comments, no deps, no docs, no tests (except e2e ones), no PRs, very little CI, a lot of CD - this might be the uncomfortable future we're headed to

Dear Prime Minister Ambani, Please accept my humble apologies for not realizing that you are the real boss of India. Naturally, you would prefer to maintain your monopolistic exploitation of the great people of India, but would you nonetheless consider allowing Starlink to compete? There are many areas of India, as there are in all countries, with no Internet access, which denies children the opportunity for education and for small businesses the opportunity to sell their goods to a global market. Starlink would change their lives for the better. Thank you 🙏

Meet Morpho, a unique inspection drone developed by Elythor, an EPFL spinoff company. It uses wind and adaptive wings to extend flight time and enable vertical and horizontal flight. It can inspect power plants, power lines, turbines, pipelines, and offshore platforms.

Grok 4.5 was an incredible model for the price: fast, pleasant to use, reliable, solid default model. Grok 4.6 was a (forgivable) step in the wrong direction IMO: slower and more expensive, using way more tokens per task for a slight edge in intelligence. I get it, though. They have to climb benchmarks. Grok 4.7 is much harder to forgive. They claimed it would be more token-efficient, and it's less by 30 to 80%. It scores worse than Grok 4.6 in various benchmarks. It's slower, it's less pleasant to use, and real-world costs come out to more than 2x above Grok 4.6, putting it over Astra's costs in real-world use. Considering how much they've been hyping this model release up, I have to say I'm disappointed. The benchmarks don't tell the whole story, and it is pleasant to use in various real-world engineering tasks, but it feels so 2025 still. The frontend capabilities are unacceptably bad. The 3D capabilities are nonexistent. It gets stuck in random Gemini-style loops all the time. This was a very disappointing release. I hope that the SpaceXAI team can acknowledge that and impress us with the next one.

Both valued at $2.5 Billion today: Linear, having crossed $100 million ARR with 177% net revenue retention. Instinct, the viral AI assistant that launched last week.

I regret to inform you I think instinct is pretty good
