- An explainer distinguishes a claim-by-October-7 Claude credit from larger startup programs and Gemini’s rate-limited free tier.
Field notes
The homepage lists sections for Launches, Field Notes, Research, Defense, Markets, Infra, Policy, and Explainers, with three dated pieces visible. One explainer separates Claude’s October 7 claim deadline from larger Google and Microsoft startup-program figures and Gemini’s rate-limited free tier. The infrastructure piece describes four Trillium chips testing launch shock and vacuum cooling; it explicitly says the proposed space-solar advantage remains untested.
