SPACEXAI SIGNS AGREEMENT WITH ANTHROPIC FOR MASSIVE AI SUPERCOMPUTER
ACCESS (3 MINUTE READ) [9]
SpaceX has agreed to provide Anthropic access to its Colossus 1 data
center in Memphis, Tennessee. The plant has more than 300 megawatts of
power and over 220,000 Nvidia GPUs - Anthropic has access to all of
the compute. Anthropic is doubling Claude Code's 5-hour rate limits
for Pro, Max, and Team plans, removing the peak hours limit reduction
on Claude Code and Max plans, and substantially raising its API limits
for Opus models.
GOOGLE SEARCH AI MODE GETS 'EXPERT ADVICE' FROM REDDIT AND SOCIAL
MEDIA (2 MINUTE READ) [10]
Google is adding an extra section into its search results labeled
'Expert Advice' or 'Community Perspectives' (depending on the query
and response) that will include snippets of wisdom with references to
the source. It is also adding a 'Further Exploration' section to AI
results and making links easier to see in AI responses. Hovering a
link on the desktop version of Google Search will now show a preview
of the website. The improvements in link visibility and helpfulness
are aimed at helping users connect directly with sources and creators.

SPACEX IS STARTING TO MOVE ON FROM THE WORLD'S MOST SUCCESSFUL ROCKET
(5 MINUTE READ) [11]
SpaceX conducted 165 launches with the Falcon 9 rocket last year. It
plans up to around 145 Falcon launches this year. SpaceX is
transitioning its sites to launch Starships. The Falcon 9 will still
remain operational at least as long as the International Space
Station, which is unlikely to retire before 2032. SpaceX will put
Starship to work as soon as possible to launch upgraded Starlink
Internet satellites.
HUMANOID ROBOTS TO DRIVE NEXT LEG OF CHINA EXPORT DOMINANCE (3 MINUTE
READ) [12]
China's early lead in humanoid robots will help power its next phase
of global manufacturing and export dominance. The nation's share of
global manufacturing is estimated to expand to 16.5% by 2030 from 15%
today. Chinese tech parks, factories, and universities are already
deploying humanoid robots, and government procurement is kicking in,
paving the way for broader adoption. American firms like Tesla have
invested heavily into the humanoid robot race, but Chinese firms have
been quicker to roll out models using the local market as a testing
ground.

DESIGN FROM THE INSIDE (5 MINUTE READ) [15]
Engineers at high-growth startups can build so fast and independently
that trying to map out the product area is a lost cause. Architects
design buildings from the outside using floor plans and schematics to
paint a perfect picture of reality. Engineers have to design from the
inside out and make small changes to product surfaces that
incrementally reveal improvements. This means creating tight links
between design environments and the real product, collapsing feedback
loops, and shipping.
SALVATORE SANFILIPPO SUBMITTED A PR ADDING A NEW DATA TYPE - ARRAYS -
TO REDIS. (1 MINUTE READ) [16]
Redis has been missing a real indexed data structure for situations
where the index and the spatial relationship of elements are semantic.
Arrays handle index-first requirements natively, and usually with much
better memory and CPU usage than the workarounds. They also often
provide much better space, time, and usability at the same time. This
article links to an interactive playground for trying out the new
commands in the recently submitted PR for Arrays in Redis.

ANTHROPIC'S CEO SAYS IT COULD GROW BY 80 TIMES THIS YEAR (3 MINUTE
READ) [17]
Anthropic has reached a growth rate that could make it 80 times as
big this year. The company's annual revenue run rate surpassed $30
billion last month. Anthropic's overwhelming rate of growth has
increased the company's need for computing power. It has signed a
series of deals with industry giants to obtain the required computing
power.
OPEN WEIGHTS ARE QUIETLY CLOSING UP - AND THAT'S A PROBLEM (7 MINUTE
READ) [18]
Open weights models allow anyone to run the model on their own
hardware. This allows model use to be private, flexible, and low-cost.
Many companies will run open weight models at significantly less cost
than the cost of frontier models per token, and the performance gap
isn't that big. However, the increasing costs of training mean that
more and more models are being released under tighter license
conditions. The competitive open weights ecosystem may soon be at an
end, and this has enormous implications for the wider economy.

SPACEX IPO GIVES MUSK UNCHECKED POWER AND FORBIDS INVESTOR LAWSUITS
(3 MINUTE READ) [19]
Shareholders will be prohibited from bringing class actions against
SpaceX, its directors, officers, controlling shareholders, or bankers
tied to the IPO, and Musk will have the power to elect, remove, or
fill any vacancy on the board of directors.
BRAIN OPTIMIZES FOR BITS PER ATP (3 MINUTE READ) [20]
Consuming energy and producing ATP is hard, so brains try to maximize information retrieval and computing using the least amount of energy
possible.
GOOGLE'S PROMPT API (7 MINUTE READ) [21]
Google's Prompt API is a web standard that requires users to agree
with Google's 'prohibited use policy' to use the only model available
to it.
MOST WIDELY DEPLOYED AND USED DATABASE ENGINE (2 MINUTE READ) [22]
SQLite is likely used more than all other database engines combined.
THE WRAPPER AND THE CODE (12 MINUTE READ) [23]
Apple denied approval of Replit's updates as its app previewed
generated apps inside the iOS client, which meant that the reviewed
Replit binary effectively contained an unbounded number of unreviewed
apps.
THE PATIENT CAPITAL OF RECOGNIZING PEOPLE (9 MINUTE READ) [24]
The reward for being early on a person is invisible, but the returns
