    Recast launched! So happy to be part of it! It’s deeply motivating to be building something that helps get more water where it’s needed I’ve been working primarily on the Texas and New Mexico operations software, and I also get to do physics and stretch my brain. New Mexico’s

    In the past 6 months we’ve produced a cheaper, more efficient seeding material, trained a hyper-resolution AI weather model, and operated 100+ cloud seeding flights for the governments of Texas and New Mexico. Recast Systems is coming out of stealth. Here’s some of the research

    I think PhD advisors are going to have to pivot to having their students work on basically unrealizable goals. Goals like "completely characterize this large family of curves." My entire dissertation will amount to a small aside in the next generations projects.

    AI is to software, math, soon robotics, science, EE what movable type printing was to hand-copied manuscripts. At ~30 mins DHH makes this exact observation, comparing this moment in history with the protestant reformation x.com/dcxStep/status…

    Here's my conversation with @dhh. He is back for round 2! It was an epic fun 5 hour conversation about the future of programming, AI, Linux, and human civilization. It's here on X in full and is up everywhere else (see comment). Timestamps: 0:00 - Episode highlight 1:27 -
