NVIDIA'S NEXT-GEN AI RACK SYSTEM DELAYED TO 2028 ON MANUFACTURING
SNAGS (4 MINUTE READ) [4]
Nvidia's Kyber rack-scale architecture has been delayed by more than
12 months to 2028. The server cabinet is designed to house 144 of the
company's 2027 Rubin Ultra chips so they can work together as one
giant computer. The delay is due to difficulties in manufacturing a
key circuit board at the heart of the system. It is a sign that
Nvidia's breakneck annual release cadence is colliding with
manufacturing limits.
APPLE'S IPHONE ULTRA WILL BE DOUBLE THE PRICE OF THE IPHONE 17 PRO
MAX (2 MINUTE READ) [5]

iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max. It will start shipping about a month later.

and then there will be delays running through December.

SCIENCE & FUTURISTIC TECHNOLOGY
THE ROBOTS ARE HERE (32 MINUTE READ) [6]
Robots decouple capital from human labor. This means production
capacity becomes tied to how many robots one can make or afford.
Robust robot capacity enables things that were previously impossible.
This post features an interview with robotics experts about why robots
are the real general-purpose technology, how everyone keeps
underestimating Unitree, China's edge, why you can't AI your way out
of a hardware or supply chain problem, and what the US should do next.
EGYPT IS BUILDING A NEW NILE (20 MINUTE READ) [7]
Egypt is attempting to create a new agricultural landscape to relieve
mounting pressure on the Nile Delta. The New Delta product is a plan
that involves recycling water, moving it across the desert, and
bringing it to new land for cultivation. Early satellite images show
rapid progress, but questions remain about how sustainable the
transformation will be. Much of the water currently used to irrigate
the new fields is coming from underground aquifers, which are not
easily replenished.

WHAT THE NEW 100X AGENTIC ENGINEER LOOKS LIKE IN THE ERA OF FABLE &
GPT 5.6 (21 MINUTE READ) [8]
The 100x software engineer is at least an order of magnitude more
productive than normal software engineers due to a combination of
tacit knowledge, experience, and technical prowess. Agentic coding
doesn't normalize productivity - not everyone is equally productive
with agents. Agentic engineering is a skill with a high ceiling. This
article looks at the shift in the bottleneck in agentic engineering
and how to become a 100x agentic engineer.

ALIBABA'S AI IS A HIT, BUT HARD TO TURN INTO A MONEYMAKER (2 MINUTE
READ) [10]
Alibaba's open-source models can be modified and used freely by
anyone. Its technology is much cheaper to use than proprietary systems
from US competitors like Anthropic and OpenAI. The company's AI models
are popular, but it has become a challenge to turn that global
popularity into a profitable business.
BIG TECH HAS SUDDENLY FLIPPED ON THE AI JOBS WIPEOUT SCENARIO (9
MINUTE READ) [11]
Tech CEOs have started to change their stance on AI wiping out jobs
over the past year. The industry appears to have underestimated the
value of keeping people at the center of everything. Comments by tech
leaders now point to a future where workers keep their jobs, but gain
a productivity boost from AI. It is unclear whether these statements
are a move to win back customers and the public or whether the role of
AI in the workplace is just now better understood.
