720x Improvement Curve Rockets

Nice shot https://t.co/iHDiM69sum — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) August 27, 2025 No RUD = good. This week's 10th test flight of mankind's largest ever rocket, after previous explosions, seems widely viewed as a 'stunning comeback'.

Boost Illusion

"Nobody buys efficiency. Ever" So runs advice handed down to each new generation of Enterprise reps. Riffing on the famed prediction of JM Keynes. Namely that due to inexorable technology leaps we should have long since been only required to work a 15-hr week. Feel like that today for you?
