Maintenance: Of Everything, Part OneThe central claim is that Congress’s dysfunction is not primarily a failure of expertise or goodwill, but a failure of internal organization. Factions are one of the few tools available—within existing rules and incentives—to address that failure. The sections that follow are intended to help readers evaluate when factions are likely to be effective, how they interact with parties, committees, and outside groups, and what kinds of support strengthen Congress rather than substitute for it.

Internetová kontrarevoluceU.S. and allied policymakers tried for years to convince China to play by the WTO’s rules. Not only did those efforts fail, but the United States and its allies now also face a situation in which even if China abided by the rules, other economies would need to violate them to compete. Washington simply cannot diversify its critical mineral supply chain without deploying significant subsidies, tariffs, and other industrial policy tools.

Six Things I Learned Watching a Robotics Startup Die from the Inside | Rui XuOne of the most dangerous ideas going around: robot hardware will become “commodity,” assembled from off-the-shelf parts by Chinese manufacturers just like phones, with the real value sitting in the AI layer.
Six Things I Learned Watching a Robotics Startup Die from the Inside | Rui XuManufacturing is not a service you buy. It’s a capability you build.
Six Things I Learned Watching a Robotics Startup Die from the Inside | Rui XuAnalogies are compression algorithms. They make complex things simple by throwing away information. In a pitch deck, fine. In an engineering decision, the thrown-away information is usually the part that kills you.
Six Things I Learned Watching a Robotics Startup Die from the Inside | Rui XuThere’s this belief going around that AI models are getting so good that hardware can afford to be dumb. Sensors? The model will figure it out from vision. Safety limits? The policy will learn to avoid them. I call this Large Model Chauvinism.
Six Things I Learned Watching a Robotics Startup Die from the Inside | Rui Xu“The whole idea, the reason why our system works well, is that we give scientists money and let them loose. For you to ask us to run this like we would run a weapons program makes absolutely no sense.” Congress would not have it. They said it was totally unacceptable for the agency to run things this way. That was the beginning of the extreme bureaucratization that we have, with hundreds, if not thousands, of laws and regulations, and the insistence that scientists must propose a project and must do the project they said they were going to do.

AdviceAddendum: the work is beautiful. I think by the end we can get images of the brain that look like this:
A heart of fireIn past decades, engineers built hardware first and layered software on top. That model is obsolete. Today’s energy systems are co-designed: sensors, power electronics and mechanical structures are specified to enable algorithms that can track a product’s health, prevent failures and optimize output. Hardware–software fusion is the new operating model.
It’s Time to Treat China’s Connected Energy Systems As a National Security Risk | RANDEngineers are impressed by different kinds of work to managers and product managers. I’m most impressed by an engineer who runs down a very difficult bug, or some kind of weird operational issue that was hard to debug. In my experience, managers and product managers are impressed by speed: being able to fix an issue rapidly, or to deliver some piece of UI ahead of schedule.
Trying to impress people you don't respectSo I’m hopeful that the lovable nerds there will be able to present their own smiling optimism to the rest of the world.
