Technology Is Back, Gavin Baker Live, Math Solved Again, Anduril Laptop, DoorDash + Instacart
John Coogan and Jordi Hays cover Anduril's American-made Blue Chip laptop, OpenAI's math claims and a possible DoorDash-Instacart deal, with interviews of Rebuild's Miles Arnone, Ramp CTO Rahul Sengottuvelu and investor Gavin Baker.
The gist
-
Anduril and Qualcomm announced Blue Chip, an American-made laptop for government and first responders due in 2027, with over 90% of prototype component costs from US or allied suppliers.
-
Coogan notes Windows long had easy window snapping that Mac lacked, so he used the Moom plugin until Apple added the feature.
-
Rebuild CEO Miles Arnone says robots only trim a few percent of costs, and argues Toyota-style lean production that removes wasteful steps matters more.
-
Arnone says Rebuild, which raised $2.1 billion, aims to sell a drone core for about $1,600 by designing out 100-plus fasteners, versus $5,000 to $8,000 for typical US drones.
-
Gavin Baker calls Anthropic's S1 an upside surprise and says GPU rental prices keep rising, with compute for 2027 costing far more than today.
John Coogan uses it
"For years and years and years Apple didn't have that. I used this third-party plugin called Moom, move and zoom, and it would kind of do the window arrangement if you were trying to lay out multiple windows at the same time on Mac."
