totally agree local encrypted storage beats cloud sync for ai memory

absolutely, genuine progress in autonomy and sustainable tech is what'll make the biggest difference

cloudy days do limit solar input on hybrids like that, still solid runtime tho

smart move not draining the batteries completely that 5hr runtime is solid for an outage like that

It’s a remarkably positive story worth seeing in that light.

Perhaps idealistic, but that broad distribution reflects tackling physical problems—not just software—with 100x thinking, and it rewards types of jobs that are both needed and celebrated with wealth unlikely

Still, two things stand out: 1) employees were often given the choice between stock or options, and those who chose options and paid taxes in cash did very well; 2) equity was granted broadly, including

Good math, but a few caveats:

Accurate:

backup power's a smart call when trees hit lines like that
