#3Typical comm FDE, right down to the stint at Airbus. He’s fully internalized Shyam’s why do we even need devs attitude, not realizing it’s only one side of a dialectic. Hint: there’s a reason he isn’t CEO.

#4It is relevant again, because one would like to know whether DOGE will install this in the US government.
As for the article, I find it hard to understand what Palantir is actually doing. The article uses Airbus as an example, which ordered some kind of a software system for coordinating manufacturing. The article claims:
"This ended up helping to drive the A350 manufacturing surge and successfully 4x’ing the pace of manufacturing while keeping Airbus’s high standards of quality."
I find this extremely hard to believe. The A350 isn't the first aircraft that Airbus has built.
I'm also skeptical on European reliance on deep state related companies. It is enough that Airbus already uses Google for mail handling (industrial espionage?). Given that the US is now officially a potential EU enemy with territorial aspirations in Greenland, these things have to stop for our national security.

How is it delusional when US wants to have trade war with EU, and now there is also this territorial dispute?

#9By far the best summary of Palantir from the inside.
Yes, Karp is clearly... hmmm eccentric.
Yes, Shyam is the golden anchor of the engineering culture. He's a tremendously inspiring influence, often overlooked by outside commentators.

You would think so, but it’s a clearly stated goal of the new POTUS. So here we are.
