Much attention has been focused in the news on the useful life of GPUs. While the pervasive narrative suggests GPUs have a short lifespan, and operators are “cooking the books,” our research suggests that GPUs, like CPUs before, have a significantly longer useful life than many claim.

China recently came out with its latest five-year plan for growth, which will guide the world's second largest economy through 2030. In it, top Communist Party leaders have pushed to boost the country's strength in manufacturing to the next level by upgrading older factories with advanced technologies for automation.The challenge, according to the Chinese ministry of education, is that the sector has tens of millions of open jobs because there aren't enough skilled workers in the labor force to fill them.One school is trying to bridge that gap.

It's rare to find someone whose career spans 18 years in automotive manufacturing and venture capital, but Charly Mgwani, Partner at Eclipse Ventures, has done exactly that. His journey from the factory floor at Toyota, Nissan, Tesla and Rivian to backing hard tech companies gives him a perspective many VCs don't have.We sit down with Charly to explore how first principles thinking (questioning assumptions and getting back to root causes) drives real innovation in manufacturing.He walks us through Tesla's early days when they were asking questions nobody in the automotive industry had thought to ask, like whether robots could be programmed to work faster or if there was a better way to design for manufacturing.The conversation covers what Eclipse looks for in the founders they support, why being scrappy can lead to better manufacturing decisions, and why old manufacturing principles need rethinking as the industry flows in the opposite direction.In this episode, find out:How first principles thinking challenges manufacturing assumptions and unlocks innovationWhy asking “why not?” opens possibilities that “that's how it's always been done” closes offThe critical relationship between product design and manufacturability that many companies overlookWhat Charly learned about manufacturing during his time at Toyota and NissanWhy being capital-constrained can force creativity and focus in manufacturingThe questions Tesla asked that nobody in automotive had thought to ask beforeWhat Eclipse Ventures looks for in the founders they back and why that matters for hard tech companiesEnjoying the show?

It's feedback from Manufacturing All-Stars like you that keeps us going!Tweetable Quotes:“I was ten years into my career when Elon was asking questions that had never been asked in automotive before. By forcing us to think about things from a first principle, we started identifying levers like part consolidation that are now commonplace in manufacturing today.”“Most folks design a factory as just what's inside the shell, but then you end up with over-built systems that don't speak to each other. If you design it as one product, like how a vehicle would be designed, there are more synergistic opportunities to simplify the utilities and make them complimentary.”“Manufacturing until recently has always flowed towards low labor costs and consolidation in pursuit of economies of scale. But now it's flowing in the other direction, so that means you can't depend on previous principles and how manufacturing has always been designed.”Links & mentions:Eclipse Ventures, partnering with entrepreneurs boldly transforming the essential industries that define and propel economies.

I've been thinking a lot about how money moves — and how we still talk about it as if it doesn't. It all started with a TikTok comment. Somebody asked, “When have rich people ever moved to avoid taxes?” I typed back a few examples — Eduardo Saverin to Singapore, the French actor Gérard Depardieu to Belgium, the wave of Californians to Texas — and before I knew it, I was deep in the rabbit hole of what economists call capital flight.It's the quiet migration that rewires everything. Cities still pretend they control wealth, but wealth learned how to walk. In the twentieth century, capital was heavy. Factories and banks were physical. You could trap it with paperwork. That's how we ran 90-percent tax rates in the 1950s — because money couldn't leave.Now it can. And does. The second you make the rich uncomfortable, they don't argue; they relocate. You can't run 1950s taxes in a 2025 economy. You can't play chicken with people who can teleport.Take New York right now. With Zohran Mamdani elected mayor, talk of new taxes and rent freezes is driving the same professionals who fund the city to look for exits: Westchester, Jersey, Connecticut. These aren't oligarchs — they're the $400k-a-year scaffolding that holds the budget up. Lose enough of them and the math collapses.We've turned taxation into courtship. Look at Amazon HQ2: Arlington and a dozen other cities groveling for the same HQ like contestants in an economic beauty pageant. Modern governments don't tax the rich — they audition for them.And it's not ideology. It's comfort. Make the princess-and-the-pea class uneasy and they'll hop to somewhere cooler. The same dynamic drives gentrification: mayors won't admit they want to bulldoze blight, so they build stadiums and call it “revitalization.” Nationals Park did it in D.C.; the Olympics do it every time. Prestige becomes a permit for displacement.I don't hate any of this. It's just physics. Money follows comfort, and policy either acknowledges that or dies pretending otherwise. Charity is opt-in. Tax support is opt-out. And when cities forget that, they lose the people who keep the lights on.It's not the 19th century anymore. The steam still rises from the streets, but the power that once drove it has already left the city.

Factories don't run on magic. They run on control panels that turn raw sensor data into precise, safe action—and we're kicking off a three‑part series to show exactly how. We break down the essentials in plain language so you can open a panel door and actually know what you're seeing, from the disconnect and power supplies to the PLC logic and the HMI screens operators trust.We start with the PLC, the rugged brain that reads inputs, executes logic, and drives outputs with millisecond timing. You'll learn why modern controllers are networked, how modular I/O scales with your process, and what clean wiring and accurate channel maps do for uptime. Then we shift to the HMI, the operator window into the process. A well‑built screen mirrors the machine, makes status obvious, and keeps routine actions outside the enclosure for safer work. Clear colors, readable values, trends, and alarms turn data into smart, fast decisions.Power is the quiet foundation. We walk through the pathway: visible disconnects, fuses and breakers sized for protection, control transformers that step down voltage, and 24 VDC power supplies that feed sensors, relays, and PLC cards. Grounding, spacing, and heat management guard both people and electronics. Along the way, we share practical tips to read a panel like a map: trace power first, find the PLC and I/O, compare HMI values to the machine, and rely on current drawings stored on the door. These habits, backed by UL 508A and NFPA 79 principles, create safer, more reliable systems that technicians can troubleshoot under pressure.With nearly a century of experience supporting automation across industries, we believe craftsmanship and documentation are force multipliers. If you're new to automation, mentoring someone who is, or just want a refresher, this guide will raise your confidence on the plant floor.

This story explores the themes of family heritage, the history of factories, and the struggle for freedom among workers. It delves into the mysterious island where the protagonist seeks to uncover her family's past, the exploitation of workers in factories, and the call for freedom and change after generations of oppression.In a world where the pursuit of profit often overshadows the value of freedom, the story of Pierre Corday's island serves as a haunting reminder of the cost of unchecked ambition. This tale, set on a remote island, explores the generational impact of a decision made over three centuries ago.The Legacy of Pierre Corday: Pierre Corday, driven by the desire to escape the constraints of labor laws and arbitration, established a factory on an isolated island. Here, he promised work and security to those willing to leave the mainland. The island became a self-contained world, where the rhythm of the machines dictated life.The Cost of Security: For the workers, the promise of a "life job" came at the cost of their freedom. As generations passed, the island's inhabitants became trapped in a cycle of monotonous labor, unable to escape the legacy of their ancestors. The factories continued to operate, a testament to the enduring power of Corday's vision.A Call for Change: The story culminates in a call for freedom, as the protagonist seeks to break the chains of the past. The realization that security without freedom is a hollow promise resonates deeply, urging a return to the core values of autonomy and self-determination.The tale of Corday's island is a powerful allegory for the modern world, where the balance between profit and freedom remains a delicate one. As we navigate our own paths, let us remember the lessons of the past and strive for a future where freedom and prosperity coexist.Subscribe now to stay updated on more thought-provoking stories and insights.TakeawaysThe story begins with a warning about the unusual nature of the tales.The protagonist is on a quest to learn about her family heritage.The island's history is tied to the pursuit of profit and exploitation.Factories were established to maximize profits at the cost of workers' freedom.Workers have been trapped in a cycle of labor for generations.The protagonist learns about the sacrifices made by her ancestors.Freedom is portrayed as essential for a fulfilling life.The conversation highlights the contrast between security and freedom.The narrative emphasizes the need for change and liberation.The protagonist's journey symbolizes a broader struggle for workers' rights.Arch Obler, unusual stories, family heritage, factories, freedom, workers, island, profits, machinery, security

Breaking Analysis with Dave Vellante

From the steam engines of the Industrial Revolution to the rise of artificial intelligence, every technological leap has forced humanity to redefine work, purpose, and fairness. But this time, the machines aren't just replacing muscle, they're replacing minds. As AI begins to write, create, and decide, we're confronting questions that strike at the heart of identity itself: What happens when work disappears? Who benefits from automation's wealth? And how do we build a new social contract before inequality and disconnection tear society apart? In this episode, we trace history's lessons, explore the promises and perils of AI, and ask what it means to be human in an age when intelligence is no longer ours alone.

For the final episode in our series, we finally discuss the struggle of Mexican workers in the factories of the southwest. We've covered farmworkers, miners, oil workers, and by the 1920s, more and more jobs began to open up for Mexican workers in more stable jobs in canneries and other factories. But just as with the extractive sectors, bosses used open racism to segregate their workforce and drive conditions down for everyone. We discuss the organization of railroad workers in Los Angeles, cannery and furniture factory workers across California, and the truly epic strike by pecan shellers in San Antonio that reshaped the industry. We close out our series summarizing the lessons we've learned throughout all these struggles, and how they can be applied to rebuild our labor movement into the fighting organization of the entire working class that this moment so desperately needs.

Trump's trade war is hitting home in Fall River. The CEO of a linen company warns that tariffs are hurting American factories.

California is seeing a wave of factory closures — from food processing plants to manufacturing facilities. Headlines say jobs are fleeing the state at an alarming speed. But is it really that simple?

For decades, the global economy has run on razor-thin margins. Factories don't store parts, stores don't store food, and warehouses only keep enough on hand to keep costs low. It's called just-in-time delivery—and it works great until something breaks. When one link in the chain fails, the whole thing collapses faster than most people realize.

What if the future of affordable housing doesn't come from prefab or 3D printing, but from building vertically integrated factories that travel to where homes are needed most?In this episode, I sit down with Aleksandr Gampel, co-founder and COO of Cuby Technologies, to talk about their radical approach: Mobile Micro-Factories. Instead of shipping oversized boxes across the country, they bring a full factory on-site – producing windows, panels, framing, and even helical piers locally, then assembling homes with unskilled labor.We get into why housing costs have exploded (up 40–50% since pre-COVID), how Cuby's system cuts hard costs by reducing skilled labor, and why most prefab and modular ventures have failed. Aleks explains how their vertically integrated model works, why they're targeting small-to-mid-sized builders instead of one-off homeowners, and what it will mean when dozens, or even hundreds, of mobile microfactories are running across the U.S.We also dive into design: steel tube framing, magnetic facades, and the surprisingly elegant logic behind Toyota's production system applied to housing. If you've ever wondered how we might actually build cost-effective, durable homes at scale – without sacrificing beauty or quality – this episode is worth your time.CHAPTERS:00:00 Introduction to Housing Challenges02:53 The Concept of Mobile Micro Factories05:35 Manufacturing Process and Product Offerings08:24 Building Systems and Structural Integrity11:17 Cost Management and Market Strategy14:05 Design Flexibility and Market Demand17:07 Community Development and Housing Affordability19:53 Operational Dynamics of Mobile Micro Factories24:43 Building Efficient Factories with Unskilled Labor27:30 The Role of Automation in Construction28:54 Phased Business Plan for Housing Production30:34 Funding and Capital Efficiency in Startups32:33 Design Versatility and Limitations in Home Building34:10 Long-Term Vision and Growth Strategy35:15 Innovative Problem Solving in Construction39:13 Challenges of Prefabrication in the Housing Market41:33 Material Science Innovations for Housing43:11 The Journey of Co-Founding a Startup44:33 Connecting with Cuby TechnologiesCONNECT WITH ALEKSANDR GAMPELLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/iamaleksandrgampel/ Twitter/X: https://x.com/agampel1 Cuby Technologies: https://www.cubytechnologies.com/ CONNECT WITH AUSTIN TUNNELLNewsletter: https://playbook.buildingculture.com/ https://www.instagram.com/austintunnell/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/austin-tunnell-2a41894a/ https://twitter.com/AustinTunnellCONNECT WITH BUILDING CULTUREhttps://www.buildingculture.com/ https://www.instagram.com/buildingculture/ https://twitter.com/build_culture https://www.facebook.com/BuildCulture/ SPONSORSThank you so much to the sponsors of The Building Culture Podcast!Sierra Pacific Windows: https://www.sierrapacificwindows.com/ One Source Windows: https://onesourcewindows.com/

The manufacturing landscape is evolving at breakneck speed, with companies constantly pursuing greater efficiency, precision, and safety. At the forefront of this evolution stands digital twin technology—not as a future possibility, but as today's essential tool for competitive advantage.Digital twins represent far more than fancy animations or marketing gimmicks. They're sophisticated dynamic simulation environments purpose-built for testing, validation, training, and process optimization. When manufacturers leverage these virtual replicas, they transform not just their production floors but their entire decision-making process at every level of organization.The strategic advantages are striking. Imagine compressing months of operational optimization into weeks, with entire facilities—including control code and HMI projects—simulated before a single piece of equipment is installed. Picture a bottling line moving 700 cans per minute, modeled virtually to expose bottlenecks before commissioning even begins. This accelerated path to peak performance dramatically shortens ROI timelines, transforming digital twins from engineering tools into financial accelerators.The technology becomes even more powerful when paired with artificial intelligence. These AI-enhanced twins continuously learn, proposing new speed curves, settings, and maintenance intervals while providing actionable data. For highly regulated industries like pharmaceuticals, they offer virtual qualification and validation, achieving up to 90% operational accuracy before installing the first bolt. This serves as built-in insurance against costly mistakes that could jeopardize public safety or regulatory approval.Perhaps most compelling is the impact on workforce development. Digital twins create safe, immersive environments where operators engage with actual plant screens without consequences, building confidence and troubleshooting skills. When extended to enterprise-level systems—connecting ERP, MES, and supply chain management—they provide a single-pane view of operations that optimizes everything from maintenance schedules to spare parts inventory.Ready to see this technology in action?

Factories don't usually make headlines at tech conferences, but what Audi is doing inside its production labs is anything but ordinary. At VMware Explore in Las Vegas, I sat down with Dr. Henning Löser, Head of the Audi Production Lab, to talk about how the automaker is reinventing its factory floor with a software-first mindset. Henning leads a small team he jokingly calls “the nerds of production,” but their work is changing how cars are built. Instead of replacing entire lines for every new piece of technology, Audi has found a way to bring the speed and flexibility of IT into the world of industrial automation. The result is Edge Cloud 4 Production, a system that takes virtualization technology normally reserved for data centers and applies it directly to manufacturing. In our conversation, Henning explained why virtual PLCs may be one of the biggest breakthroughs yet. They look invisible to workers on the line but give maintenance teams new transparency and resilience. We explored how replacing thousands of industrial PCs with centralized, virtualized workloads not only reduces downtime but also cuts energy use and simplifies updates. And yes, we even discussed the day a beaver chewed through one of Audi's fiber optic cables and how redundancy kept production running without a hitch. This episode is about more than smart factories. It's about how an industry known for heavy machinery is learning to think like the cloud. From scalability and sustainability to predictive maintenance and AI-ready infrastructure, Audi is showing how the car of the future starts with the factory of the future. If you've ever wondered how emerging technologies like virtualization and private cloud are reshaping the shop floor, this is a story you'll want to hear.

Donate (no account necessary) | Subscribe (account required) Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, as he dives into today's top stories shaping America and the world. In this episode of The Wright Report, we cover explosive new evidence of an Obama-era conspiracy against Donald Trump, major shifts in U.S. manufacturing and agriculture, high-stakes diplomacy before the Trump–Putin meeting, the collapse of Ukraine's front lines, and a mysterious American drone mission deep into Mexico. Newly Declassified Email Exposes Obama-Era Conspiracy: A Top Secret 2016 email from NSA Director Mike Rogers to James Clapper, John Brennan, and James Comey reveals deep concerns over Obama's rushed Intelligence Community Assessment on alleged Trump–Russia collusion. The correspondence confirms intelligence officials were pressured to rubber-stamp a politically driven report that included the discredited Steele Dossier. Bryan details why this is foundational evidence of a seditious conspiracy. GE Appliances Moves Production Back to the U.S.: Trump's tariff strategy prompts GE Appliances, formerly owned by a Chinese company, to relocate manufacturing of ranges and refrigerators from Mexico and China to plants in Georgia, Alabama, Kentucky, Tennessee, and South Carolina, creating 1,000 new jobs. U.S. Farm and Ranch Report: Bred heifer prices hit record highs as cattle herd sizes remain at 1950s lows, keeping beef prices elevated. Favorable rains and cheaper feed are encouraging herd rebuilding, while the dangerous New World screwworm threatens to cross the border from Mexico. Crop conditions are generally good, but trade restrictions tied to tariffs are shifting agricultural export strategies. Mexico Sends 26 Cartel Members to U.S. Custody: President Claudia Sheinbaum transfers dangerous cartel figures to the United States, defying Mexico's constitution under technical loopholes. The move follows White House pressure to prevent cartel leaders from escaping Mexican prisons and resuming drug and human trafficking operations. Trump and European Allies Set Ukraine Negotiation Red Lines: Ahead of tomorrow's Alaska meeting with Vladimir Putin, Trump and European leaders agree on five conditions for peace talks, including a cease-fire, starting territorial discussions from current front lines, and securing binding Western security guarantees. European leaders will not attend the Alaska talks, leaving the White House to own the negotiations and their outcome. Ukraine's Front Lines Near Collapse: Russian forces, bolstered by North Korean mercenaries, gain six miles in the Donetsk region through relentless “meat wave” assaults. Ukrainian soldiers are frustrated with leadership, and public support for the war has collapsed, with 69 percent now favoring a negotiated settlement. Bryan warns that without fresh troops or a change in strategy, Ukraine risks losing the entire country. U.S. Drone Conducts Deep Strike Recon in Mexico: An American MQ-9 Reaper drone flew 600 miles into cartel-controlled territory in Michoacán before shutting off its transponders. The mission likely signals upcoming U.S. military action against cartels, with or without Mexican government cooperation, as Trump accelerates his campaign against foreign and domestic enemies.   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32   Keywords: Obama-era Trump-Russia conspiracy, declassified Mike Rogers email, GE Appliances reshoring, U.S. cattle herd prices, New World screwworm threat, Mexico extradites cartel members, Trump Putin Alaska meeting, Ukraine front lines collapse, Donetsk Russian advance, U.S. drone Mexico cartel mission
