Our new booster engine, Northstar, was built from the ground up by a scrappy team focused on weight, cost, manufacturability, and performance. More than 65% of the engine is additively manufactured using our in-house 3D printing capability. Northstar can be assembled in less than a day and produces 715,000 pounds of thrust.
Steve Jobs called the personal computer the “bicycle of the mind.” AI may be the interstellar spaceship of the mind. Great framing on AI here from @AlexEpstein on this “Amplified Intelligence”
How I think about AI capability and AI safety.

On D-Day, June 6, 1944, Allied troops landed on beaches of Normandy under enemy fire. The success of the landing depended heavily on shipbuilder Andrew Higgins and his innovative landing craft, vehicle, personnel boats. @USArmyMuseum has a Higgins boat from Normandy on display.

We honor those who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. USPTO colleagues paid respect to fallen service members last week during the annual Walk of Remembrance from our headquarters to Alexandria National Cemetery. #MemorialDay
