Prince Rupert's drops can withstand bullet impacts, shattering the bullet due to extreme surface compression (~50tons/ sq inch) on the head, often leaving only a mark. However, the drop is fragile if the tail is damaged, and higher-caliber rounds or direct tail hits can destroy them

Yuval Noah Harari in his book *Sapiens* argues that the Agricultural Revolution was actually a "trap."
Instead of us taming the grass, the grass manipulated us into serving its needs.
Human bodies evolved for hunting and gathering, not for the back-breaking labor of rice farming. The transition to agriculture led to a surge in physical ailments like slipped discs, arthritis, and hernias because humans spent all day weeding, clearing fields, and carrying water.
To grow it successfully, humans had to abandon nomadic lives and form settled, densely populated villages. This led to the first urban centers, complex social hierarchies, and centralized governments to manage massive irrigation systems.
While hunter-gatherers had a varied and nutritious diet, early rice farmers often became dependent on a single staple crop, which led to a narrower, less healthy diet and the rise of epidemics in crowded settlements.
Humans have spent millennia "serving" rice by leveling mountains into terraced paddies and building complex hydraulic systems (canals and sluices) purely to keep the plant happy and hydrated.

I wonder how those aliens would have felt when some humans bought their star with some useless piece of paper.

@nikitabier But that just makes it short-form content, right? Perhaps simple tweets where people cover such topics?

@elonmusk @bindureddy China has cheaper alternatives for AI infrastructure that gives them an edge.. but that doesn't mean they will win the AI race in the world and people have trust issues with their Apps..
Perhaps Google or even Anthropic will win the AI race on Earth

@bindureddy Google will win the AI race in the West, China on Earth and SpaceX in space

Gemini 3.0 didn’t quite work out and most of us are still stuck with 2.5
Sometimes I don’t get it - what’s preventing Google from ditching all the side hustles and training 100 models from 100 teams in parallel
Pick the model/team combination that produces a decent model!
That way, they will at least stay in the AI race 😅

The Lorenz attractor is a famous strange attractor in chaos theory, discovered by Edward Lorenz in 1963.
It is the complex, butterfly-shaped pattern traced by solutions to the Lorenz system—a set of three nonlinear differential equations modeling atmospheric convection—With parameters σ = 10, ρ = 28, and β = 8/3, trajectories never repeat or settle but loop chaotically within this bounded structure.
