ls planned arson. Midnight Ignition and Multiple Points of Fire Suggest Design in the Great New York Fire Professor Benjamin L. Carp, Professor of History at Brooklyn College and the CUNY Graduate Center | The Great New York Fire of 1776: A Lost Story of the American Revolution The fire started between midnight and 1:00 a.m. on September 21, 1776, near Whitehall Slip. One version suggests an accidental fire started by "careless drunkards" in a tavern. However, British observers on warships reported multiple, relatively simultaneous points of ignition (up to 20 points), strongly suggesting rebel saboteurs. Civilian governance had deteriorated; the fire chief feared rebel arson. Firefighting efforts were hindered because the city's bells had been removed for cannons, and equipment was in disarray.

Spacecraft carry all kinds of sensors, but rarely the one humans rely on most: video. Despite offering the richest insight per watt, gram, and dollar, cameras have been largely absent from orbit.That's what TRL11 is out to change. The company is building radiation-tolerant optics, edge computers that process and compress video in real time, and ground software that turns footage into operational awareness. On this episode of Valley of Depth, I'm joined by Nicolaas Verheem, founder and CEO of TRL11. Nicolaas shares how his journey from pioneering wireless video at Teradek, work that won both technical Academy and Emmy Awards, led him to ask why space was still flying blind. We trace TRL11's path from early in-orbit demos to commercial traction with operators and defense, and dig into how edge intelligence and video awareness could transform the space economy. We also discuss:• Why video is the “missing sensor” in space• Lessons from TRL11's first orbital missionsThe three core use cases: health monitoring, mission awareness, and mission enablement• How software, not hardware, creates a lasting moat in space video• The long-term vision of human-like awareness in space…and more. • Chapters •01:03 – Nicol and Starwars and Startrek03:10 – Nicol winning an Academy Award and an Emmy04:14 – Nicol at Teradek05:13 – How Teradek inspired Nicol's current company TRL1106:30 – How video applies to the space industry09:41 – Why do we need video and what problem does it solve?12:56 – A ring camera for space17:06 – The story behind the company name19:32 – TRL11's current product offerings21:43 – Showing the operator what matters on screen24:53 – How do you build a space camera?26:45 – What TRL11 has learned in their early orbit tests29:06 – TRL11's primary first customers32:25 – Making the case for investors36:45 – Should every spacecraft have video onboard?38:03 – The importance of video for inspiration40:03 – Misunderstandings when it comes to video from partners, investors, and customers41:10 – Lessons Nicol learned building a company in the space industry42:42 – Fundraising at TRL1144:26 – Legacy and product evolution • Show notes •TRL11's website — https://www.trl11.com/Mo's socials — https://twitter.com/itsmoislamPayload's socials — https://twitter.com/payloadspace / https://www.linkedin.com/company/payloadspaceIgnition's socials — https://twitter.com/ignitionnuclear /  https://www.linkedin.com/company/ignition-nuclear/Tectonic's socials — https://twitter.com/tectonicdefense / https://www.linkedin.com/company/tectonicdefense/Valley of Depth archive — Listen: https://pod.payloadspace.com/ • About us •Valley of Depth is a podcast about the technologies that matter — and the people building them.

Artificial intelligence is no longer just a buzzword in manufacturing. The pace of adoption has been incredible, yet the reality is far more complex than flashy headlines suggest. In this episode of Manufacturing Hub, Vlad Romanov and Dave Griffith welcome back Tom Hechtman, founder of Sepasoft, to explore how AI is actually being deployed on the plant floor, what barriers remain, and whether we are truly transforming manufacturing or simply tinkering at the edges.Tom brings decades of experience building MES solutions for manufacturers around the globe. From his early days in the Midwest working with Rockwell Automation technology to launching Sepasoft's Ignition MES modules and now leading the development of Sepa IQ, Tom has been at the forefront of data, analytics, and system integration. His insights bridge the gap between hype and practice, helping us understand where AI creates real ROI, where it still falls short, and how to build the foundations for success.Throughout the conversation we dive into the challenges of quality improvement, predictive maintenance, scheduling optimization, and contextualizing plant data. We discuss the importance of trust in both data and AI-generated outputs, the economics of running LLMs and machine learning models, and why cybersecurity and data governance cannot be an afterthought. Drawing on the recent MIT study that revealed only 5 percent of AI projects make a measurable P&L impact, Tom helps us unpack what manufacturers need to do differently if they want to avoid being part of the 95 percent that fail.We also get an update on Sepa IQ and how customers are using it to connect plant floor data, structure it for AI and analytics, and prepare for advanced scheduling and predictive tools. From lessons learned working with early adopters to practical advice on starting small, Tom makes it clear that manufacturing AI is a journey that requires technical expertise, domain knowledge, and cultural change.Whether you are an executive evaluating AI investments, a controls engineer curious about new tools, or a plant manager wondering how to get real results, this episode delivers a balanced, practical, and in-depth perspective on the future of AI in manufacturing.Timestamps 00:00 Introduction and AI in every manufacturing conversation 03:00 Tom Hechtman background and the origins of Sepasoft 05:00 MES modules, batch processing, and the evolution of Sepa IQ 08:00 Defining manufacturing AI and the role of plant floor data 13:00 Quality improvement and predictive analytics opportunities 20:00 Foundational challenges with legacy systems and data collection 24:00 Insights from the MIT study on AI adoption and ROI 32:00 Training data, context windows, and the economics of LLMs 44:00 Sepa IQ customer feedback and scheduling optimization 50:00 Trust, hallucinations, and cybersecurity considerations 59:00 ICC announcements, demos, and proof of concept program 1:03:00 Predictions for AI in manufacturing and career adviceReferences mentioned in the episode MIT study on AI in business: https://mitsloan.mit.edu/ideas-made-to-matter/how-to-get-ai-to-pay-off Sepasoft Blog on AI and manufacturing: https://sepasoft.com/blog/ The One Thing by Gary Keller: https://www.the1thing.com/About the guest Tom Hechtman is the founder of Sepasoft, a leading provider of MES modules for the Ignition platform by Inductive Automation.

Smallsats have defined the last decade of space, but their limitations are clear: low power, limited throughput, and fragile unit economics. K2 Space is betting on the opposite. The company is building mega class and giga class satellites, platforms measured in tons rather than kilograms, that deliver unprecedented power, capacity, and resilience. By vertically integrating 80 percent of their systems in house, K2 is cutting costs by an order of magnitude and making industrial scale spacecraft a reality.On this episode of Valley of Depth, we're joined by Neel Kunjur, cofounder and CTO of K2 Space. Neel traces the journey from early Slack messages about the promise of MEO to a 160 person team building the largest commercial satellites ever attempted. He shares how K2 has reimagined subsystems like reaction wheels, high voltage power, and 20 kW propulsion to unlock entirely new mission architectures in MEO, GEO, and beyond. We also discuss:Why MEO is such an underexplored orbital regimeThe engineering breakthroughs behind large reaction wheels and high voltage power systemsHow stackable satellites change constellation designThe long term vision for space infrastructure, from in space compute to energy harvesting…and more.  • Chapters •00:00 – Intro00:56 – What's happened in the past two years since K2 has been on the pod02:13 – The thesis behind K203:51 – What does Neel mean by aperture?04:40 – Why do satellites need to grow in size and power?06:59 – The rise in Medium Earth Orbit (MEO) chatter08:49 – Why did Neel leave SpaceX and start K2 with his brother?12:04 – Building K2 for a post Starship world14:10 – Current and future K2 offerings15:32 – 20 Kilowatts vs a small LEO satellite17:10 – Giga-scale satellite18:40 – How K2 is able to deliver $15m satellite21:13 – K2's innovations so far23:01 – Engineering problems that larger satellite builders have to worry about25:08 – K2's propulsion solution to get MEO28:11 – Engineering for Starship's current MEO blindspot29:18 – Neel's prediction on Starship's refueling rollout30:14 – Innovation through simplicity33:24 – How is K2 hiring the talent for their niche challenges35:52 – How big is K2's team today36:43 – Key takeaways from K2's first mission38:22 – Mission Gravitas39:59 – Orbit race40:39 – Mission Gravitas: Commercial or DoD?41:33 – K2's scaling plans43:03 – Customized vs standardized45:17 – Overspec'd by design45:40 – Will K2's success spur more competition?47:23 – Will satellites become robust, industrial hardware?48:48 – What's enabled by these large platforms?51:01 – The paradigm shift happening in engineering for space52:42 – Will SpaceX own LEO?55:05 – The name and branding behind K2 • Show notes •K2's website — http://www.k2space.com/K2's socials — https://x.com/K2SpaceCoMo's socials — https://twitter.com/itsmoislamPayload's socials — https://twitter.com/payloadspace / https://www.linkedin.com/company/payloadspaceIgnition's socials — https://twitter.com/ignitionnuclear /  https://www.linkedin.com/company/ignition-nuclear/Tectonic's socials  — https://twitter.com/tectonicdefense / https://www.linkedin.com/company/tectonicdefense/Valley of Depth archive — Listen: https://pod.payloadspace.com/ • About us •Valley of Depth is a podcast about the technologies that matter — and the people building them.

Als eines von 21 Projekten weltweit schaffte es das kleine Hamburger Team von Cosmorama Technologies den Zuschlag von Metas Oculus Publishing Ignition Programms zu erhalten. Damit war nicht nur die Entwicklung sondern auch die Platzierung im Quest Store gesichert. Die Idee: Basierend auf dem PC-Game-Klassiker Worms aus den 90ern, sollte Table Troopers kurzweilige Unterhaltung für Menschen bieten, ganz ohne Motion Sickness und mit einem super einfachen Benutzungskonzept. Dabei ist es eine Challenge das Konzept eines 2D-Games in 3D zu bringen. Das Team rund um CPTO und Co-Founder Fabian Knauer hat sich allerdings noch weitere Inspiration geholt: Von Demeo, wie die Spielfiguren in der Welt bewegt und platziert werden. Allerdings war es dem Team wichtig deutlich kürzere Sessions als bei Demeo zu ermöglichen. Walkabout Minigolf als Social Event, bei dem man sich trifft und unterhalten kann. Auch die Erweiterbarkeit könnte es später bei Table Troopers geben, wenn das Spiel ankommt, wonach es aktuell wohl aussieht. Die verwendete Sling-Shot-Mechanik ist an Angry Birds angelehnt. Seit dem 11. September ist das Spiel nach über einem Jahr Entwicklungszeit als Vollversion für gerademal 10 Euro zu haben und damit perfekt für den einen oder anderen Spieleabend mit Freunden. Bemerkenswert ist was Fabian zum Marketing des Games zu sagen hat: Obwohl er von Mixed Reality überzeugt ist, würde er das Game nicht als Mixed Reality vermarkten, weil sich das schlechter verkaufe. Diese 5 Marketing-Tipps hat Fabian für uns: - Das Marketing von Mobile Games und VR Games unterscheidet sich fundamental. - Nicht zu lange warten mit dem Aufbau von Discord und mit dem Sharen von News und Materialien. Die Zusammenarbeit mit kleineren VR-Influencern auf YouTube ist sinnvoll, weil sie guten Content produzieren. Mixed Reality nicht in den Vordergrund stellen, da sich das nicht so gut vermarktet. Mit Meta zusammenzuarbeiten, kann zu einer guten Platzierung im Store führen.

ICC 2025 Recap I recorded this as I was leaving Inductive Automation's Ignition Community Conference 2025 in Sacramento. The event team performed wonderfully moving ICC from the smaller Harris Center in Folsom to the SAFE Credit Union Convention Center in Sacramento with double the attendance. Lots of energy, many partners. The event had to be credited a success. Of course, the highlight was introduction of Ignition 8.3. This update included many long-sought additions. Note: Inductive Automation has been a long-term sponsor for my work. However, we do not have an "influencer" relationship, that is, they do not pay me for writing content. They just appreciate my work. If this information is useful, please pass along.

Top 5 Takeaways from my interview with Mike Payne of Boss Advisors:1. Embracing Alternative Business Structures (ABS):Mike Payne was an early adopter of Arizona's Alternative Business Structure for law firms, allowing him to merge his law and accounting practices. This move reduced administrative burdens, enabled non-lawyer ownership, and positioned his firm as a pioneer, paving the way for larger firms to follow.2. Subscription and Flat Fee Model Over Hourly Billing:Mike's firm operates almost entirely on flat fees or subscriptions, avoiding hourly billing. He started by spreading tax prep fees over 12 months and added value through consulting, eventually formalizing subscription offerings across five practice areas, including legal services.3. Client-Centric, Tiered Service Packages:Instead of letting clients choose from generic service tiers, Mike's firm categorizes clients based on their business profile (e.g., investor, startup, owner-operator, enterprise) and recommends the appropriate package. This approach streamlines pricing, reduces custom quotes, and ensures clients get what they need.4. Data-Driven, Transparent Pricing:Mike uses a detailed, analytical process to set fixed fees—calculating internal costs, adding a target profit margin, and comparing to market rates. If a service isn't profitable or competitive, he won't offer it. This transparency extends to publishing pricing and typical client profiles on his website.5. Leveraging Technology and Remote Work:Mike prioritizes cloud-based, integrated tech tools for both legal and accounting work, enabling a hybrid and remote team. He's open to AI and automation for efficiency but is cautious about client data security. Tools like WealthCounsel, Clio Grow, Carbon, and Ignition are central to his operations.__________________________Learn more about BOSS Advisors.Want to maximize your law firm?

This is a topic that impacts every sector of manufacturing and critical infrastructure, yet many organizations still struggle with where to start, how to assess risk, and how to balance IT and OT responsibilities.Gavin brings decades of experience in automation engineering and cybersecurity, having worked across energy, oil and gas, water, and manufacturing. He shares his unique journey from being an operator and control systems engineer to becoming a specialist in OT cybersecurity. The conversation spans a wide range of issues, from asset inventory and managed switches to people, process, and technology frameworks that help organizations take the first step toward maturity.We discuss why IT and OT teams often clash and what it takes to bridge the gap. Gavin explains the realities of budgets, the challenges of compliance, and why self-reporting frameworks often fail to reflect true maturity. He also highlights the role of legislation in Europe, rising insurance premiums, and how cybersecurity assessments can influence financial and strategic decisions at the executive level.The episode provides clear insights into best practices such as building a proper asset inventory, structuring security awareness training for OT teams, and applying a risk-based approach to patch management. Gavin also outlines the importance of functional safety, process hazard analysis, and the role of frameworks like ISA/IEC 62443. For engineers, leaders, and decision makers, this conversation makes it clear that cybersecurity is not just a technology problem but a people and process challenge that requires long term discipline and investment.If you want to understand what real world OT cybersecurity looks like, what mistakes to avoid, and how to set a path toward resilience, this episode is packed with valuable takeaways.Timestamps 00:00 Introduction and upcoming ICC event 02:20 Gavin's career journey from operator to cybersecurity expert 06:00 What ICS and OT cybersecurity really mean 09:00 Managed switches, firewalls, and securing industrial devices 11:00 The importance of people, process, and technology in security programs 13:30 Asset inventories and the first practical steps in cybersecurity 17:00 Insurance, legislation, and financial implications of OT risk 23:00 The problem with self reporting and maturity frameworks 27:00 Risk based patching strategies and CVE management 31:00 Physical keys, tokens, and access control challenges 37:00 IT versus OT ownership of cybersecurity 45:00 Certifications, training, and resources for professionals 53:00 Unified Namespace and cybersecurity considerations 58:00 Predictions for the next five years in OT cybersecurity 01:02:00 Career advice for engineers and cybersecurity professionalsReferences mentioned in this episode Industrial Network Security, Eric D.

Continuous human presence in orbit has been a cornerstone of U.S. leadership in space for 25 years. But recent changes to NASA's Commercial LEO Destinations (CLD) strategy have Pam Melroy—former NASA Deputy Administrator and shuttle commander—sounding the alarm. She warns that shifting to short-duration missions risks ceding leadership in LEO and undermining U.S. readiness for Mars, opening the door for China to take the mantle.On this episode of Valley of Depth, we're joined by Pam to talk about the state of NASA, the future of space stations, and why requirements, the often overlooked backbone of program management, will determine whether the U.S. stays ahead. We trace her career from test pilot to shuttle commander to senior leadership at NASA, DARPA, and the FAA, and unpack what it means to build an architecture that actually holds together from LEO to Mars.We also discuss:Why continuous presence in LEO is a national security and leadership issueHow the CLD Phase 2 shift could reshape investor and partner confidenceThe role of SpaceX and Starship in the Moon–Mars roadmapWhat it takes to write requirements that don't doom a program from the startPam's vision of LEO, the Moon, and Mars in 2045…and much more.This episode is brought to you by World Space Business Week, taking place September 15–19 in Paris.
