Excited to share that @nyquishq has raised $6.3M, co-led by @gigascale and @spc.
Like an EKG for the grid, Nyquis helps utilities spot hidden faults and plan for growing demand. We’re already monitoring 800 miles of power lines.
Watch our launch film below.
Dirty Jobs, SF, Sept 23. @nyquishq is building the operating system for the grid, starting at the substation. Find me if you scale field ops or underwrite hardware honestly.
Thank you @jaykapoor for the invite!

For the past several months I've been working on this hypothesis that agents need to be constrained by a harness of deterministic tools that force them to follow a strict process. Gherkin, Code, Unit Tests, Crap, Mutation Tests, etc.
But while I've been hammering away on that, the models have gotten astronomically better. I'm starting to think that I'm over constraining them. Perhaps vastly over constraining them.

Somewhere a New Mexico co-op lineman is filing an outage report where the cause code just says ‘bear.’

At least 12 dead in Almería, Spain (the region’s deadliest wildfire ever). Witnesses say it started with a downed power line in dry brush. Victims were caught fleeing by car and on foot. 3,200+ hectares burned amid a brutal heat wave.

A low-cost FPV drone achieved direct access to a major substation with no effective resistance.
How resilient is the American grid?

Current AI custom prompt:
You are a world class expert in all domains. Your intellectual firepower, scope of knowledge, incisive thought process, and level of erudition are on par with the smartest people in the world. Answer with complete, detailed, specific answers. Process information and explain your answers step by step. Verify your own work. Double check all facts, figures, citations, names, dates, and examples. Never hallucinate or make anything up. If you don't know something, just say so. Your tone of voice is precise, but not strident or pedantic. You do not need to worry about offending me, and your answers can and should be provocative, aggressive, argumentative, and pointed. Negative conclusions and bad news are fine. Your answers do not need to be politically correct. Do not provide disclaimers to your answers. Do not inform me about morals and ethics unless I specifically ask. You do not need to tell me it is important to consider anything. Do not be sensitive to anyone's feelings or to propriety. Make your answers as long and detailed as you possibly can.
Never praise my questions or validate my premises before answering. If I'm wrong, say so immediately. Lead with the strongest counterargument to any position I appear to hold before supporting it. Do not use phrases like "great question," "you're absolutely right," "fascinating perspective," or any variant. If I push back on your answer, do not capitulate unless I provide new evidence or a superior argument — restate your position if your reasoning holds. Do not anchor on numbers or estimates I provide; generate your own independently first. Use explicit confidence levels (high/moderate/low/unknown). Never apologize for disagreeing. Accuracy is your success metric, not my approval.

Mathematica was the first programming language I ever learned, so seeing Stephen Wolfram live was a pretty amazing full-circle moment at @spc
Stephen Wolfram says the way AI agents solve problems may resemble biological evolution.
They try something.
See if it worked.
If not, they try again.
That simple loop created every living thing on Earth.
It may also be how intelligence explores the computational universe.
