If birth rates fall, you have no babies. If you have no babies now, in 20 years you have no 20 year olds. Productivity comes from 20-65 year olds. You are in for a bad time when you have less 20-30 year olds than 65-75 year olds.

The net effect of the US military globally has been to establish and uphold free trade. For every one of the (many) victims, there are tens of people raised out of poverty. The last 70 years of global peace and prosperity are largely attributable to US military dominance.
I’m glad everyone’s having fun in El Segundo, excited about building tech, partying, and e/acc’ing. But personally, I’d have a hard time sleeping if I knew the results of my life’s work, was taking the life of others.

So true. 3D printing itself is just “standard manufacturing technology (extrusion, powder sintering) + computer control.” So many ways left to put atoms together. Energy production + manufacturing capability are the measures of civilization. Lots to build
These "Factory of the Future" articles from consultants always miss all of the disruptive mfg. tech being built now.
They think in IoT terms "computers will replace paper", but not "computers will change factories themselves".

A contrarian take: It is better to blindly over-believe in causality because it mentally connects your expected outcomes to your actions. This means that it strengthens your incentive to do things that will benefit you. Ex: If I work hard I will succeed vs I might succeed.

Frankly I find this take kind of ridiculous. Yes, it’s true that VCs have stigmatized the NDA, and so it’s a bad idea to bring one, but it has as much to do with VCs wanting to back-channel and DD companies than any of these reasons.

Today I'm excited to unveil Valar Atomics!
Valar is my master plan to make energy 10x cheaper in 10 years by pulling oil and gas out of thin air with nuclear fission.
This will untether energy from climate and politics, fuel American industry, and unlock a new era of growth

My personal thesis on being an parts/material supplier in the US:
1. Deliver on time.
2. Deliver what you said you would deliver.
3. Charge what you said you would charge.
Seems basic, but these 3 things will put you head and shoulders over most, go ask any design engineer.

This is extremely well said
3D printing is not a technology, but a set of technologies sharing the thesis that technological complexity can replace organizational complexity in manufacturing.
It has seen niche, but steady, progress.

It’s a transient. Massive opportunity opened up in software 15-25 years ago, so demand for software engineers 10000x-ed. It takes a little while to spin up university programs and educate enough software engineers to meet demand, so in the mean time, people will pay a premium.

Not an expert, but a common requirement that pushes for many mirrors vs few is the difficulty of producing aspherical surfaces to optical accuracy. To focus light, the optimal shape is rarely spherical, but many spherical mirrors w canceling error can approach the ideal behavior.

Spent 2 years of my life building 3D printed strain wave gearboxes. ~70% of the BOM cost (not price) of a robot arm is just in gearboxes. Cheap gearboxes are the solution to the expensive robot arm problem, rest of the arm is a couple of PCBs and some cheap castings/extrusions.

My father worked on the sound for Oppenheimer. Nolan had a policy that no dialog could be re-recorded in studio. So all the audio is shot on scene. Trade off for film purity is that there’s a lot of background noise in most of the audio clips.

Flying used to be much less safe, in part because of pilot negligence.
Consider Aeroflot flight 6502, where the pilots made a bet that they could close the curtains over the cockpit and land the plane blind.

The jump from GPT3 to GPT4 clearly crossed a line for me from incredibly cool to actually useful. It’s amazing as a “textbook of everything.” Need to check some esoteric convention in continuum mech or find the derivation of some law? it’s by far the fastest path to an answer.

Overall performance envelope with differential steering would be pretty dismal, my guess to the point of posing a safety risk, since your ability to turn under braking would be practically 0. Low speed manuvering would likely be possible, but high G maneuvers are really limited.

Mostly cost of manufacturing. Lots of strain wave gears are EDMed, and the ones that aren’t are usually 10+ CNC hours IIRC. Markup is big as well, given harmonic drive’s long term monopoly. This might come down now that their core IP has expired (2018) but has yet to.

Don’t think of it in the abstract. It’s inevitable you will live in a country, with a govt, and pay tax. For a govt, the US is effective. It maintains the military apparatus that allowed 70 years of global free trade, and regulates the US economy, which is the source of all $.

Very solid analysis. I also think, usually, tech is much higher dimensional than, say "cost, speed, customizability," and you will see an erosion of that "core tech" advantage when you start to consider individual parts or jobs, and quirks of the process start to really matter.

The single major effect of US foreign policy in the last 70 years has been to enforce free trade and globalism, which have been overwhelmingly positive for the majority of the world, from Asia to South America to Europe. Specific actions were bad but net has been very positive.
