Disruption

The claws were opened. The heads sucked. The tails pinched. The flesh picked.

@Ron @ImtiazMadmood Sir this is a banger

In a landmark medical technology milestone, a fully autonomous AI-powered robotic dentist — built by US company Perceptive — completed a full crown preparation on a human patient in just 15 minutes. The same procedure typically takes a human dentist 2–2.5 hours. The robot used real-time 3D scanning, AI decision-making, and a precision robotic arm to perform the entire procedure without any human guidance or intervention mid-surgery. This isn't a concept or prototype — it's already been performed on real patients and a peer-reviewed study was published in the Journal of Dentistry in January 2026. Experts say this is the beginning of a transformation: robotic dentists could eliminate human error, work at any hour, and eventually bring high-quality dental care to remote and underserved communities where trained dentists are unavailable. The dental office of 2035 may look very different from today's.

Is @Joshmandell6 still in $BKKT?

About to open claw.

Phenomenal tale that goes right up there with the Wendy's surge pricing memes.

@zackslab @i2cjak Try handing the construction worker a walmart brand drill at his next job though, and tell him it's the only one he can use. He can do it, but you start running into time restraints.

ahh. i mean, i think if you can use one you can use them all, they just come with varying levels of annoyance. a construction worker can use a milwaukee drill even if he used dewalt at his last job. i know people still fight over power tool brands tho. just a waste of time. build the stuff.

let me let you in on a dirty little secret… no one fvcking cares what CAD tool you use. they only care about what you build.

@SawyerMerritt When is neuralink update and BlindSight? @grok help me out

April 2026 is going to be dope. • First test flight of Starship V3 (with first Raptor V3 flight) • Cybercab production begins • Tesla FSD V14.3 launches • 𝕏 money early public access • Next-gen Tesla Roadster unveil (hopefully lol)

@joeybeastmarket 7 years as a bag of chips wins

When I give my kids the “don’t do drugs” talk do I mention that I physically spent 7 years as a bag of chips in a supermarket after smoking gas station salvia in a pool shed or do I just say I had a bad trip

@daviddorg Dystopian use case. Cool though

“Give me top 5 financial news in last 24h. Be concise.” I write it on an index card Put it in the screenless phone It gives me what I request No need for exposure to the poisonous “algorithm” Personal agents are the future

@elonmusk Need grok to output STL file of an object based on a single image.

Critical feedback is appreciated

@zackslab @i2cjak i2cjak drives a tesla dude. Godspeed your nips

@i2cjak 12V is touch safe, yes

I FORMALLY CHALLENGE THEE (@i2cjak) TO AN EE DESIGN CHALLENGE (rendered in the TONE of an i2cjak wannabEE ARTICLE): ANON… I HAVE A PROPOSAL. a DESIGN CHALLENGE. a TEST of SKILL. a TEST of GRIT. a TEST of whether you are a REAL ELECTRONICS ENGINEER or merely someone who COPY PASTAS application notes written by some TI intern named KYLE. let me set the stage... imagine a world where you need to convert 12v into 48v. this is not a crazy number. this is just BOOSTING a voltage. people have been doing this since before your GREAT GREAT grandparents knew what a transistor was (i2cjack just turned 14). and yet… what does an i2cjak do? he goes to MOUSER (he was banned from digikey) and he types: "BOOST CONVERTER" he grabs some $6.37 switching regulator IC that hardly has any stock, has 87 internal op amps, slope compensation, cmc, undervoltage lockout, soft start, thermal shutdown, brownout detect, a coffee maker, and a SMALL GOBLIN that tunes the loop compensation FOR HIM. he then looks himself in the mirror and calls himself A HARDTECH ENGINEER. he slaps down one inductor, a diode, some caps, and a prayer. NO. not today anon. THE CHALLENGE: • design a 12v to 48v dc/dc converter • highest efficiency @ 10A/480W wins but there are RULES. and they are CRUEL. RULES: • NO SWITCHING REGULATOR ICS • no boost controllers • no flyback controllers • no "smart power stages" • no little black boxes that say "PWM controller" on the datasheet • if the datasheet contains the phrase "switching regulator" you are DISQUALIFIED ALLOWED COMPONENTS: • a microcontroller • gate drivers (maybe) • power transistors • diodes • discrete analog • discrete logic • passives THE CONTROL LOOP: • must be written entirely BY YOU • no OTS analog compensation network that MAGICALLY stabilizes everything YOU WILL: • fab the board at a fab house of your choice • solder it YOURSELF • measure voltages YOURSELF • measure currents YOURSELF • perform step response YOURSELF • perform load sweeps YOURSELF • measure EFFICIENCY YOURSELF • you know, REAL EE SHIT YOURSELF like the founding fvcking fathers intended. ANY TOPOLOGY IS FAIR GAME: • boost • flyback • forward • pushpull • interleaved • some cursed topology you invented at 3am i do not care. but it must convert 12v to 48v. and it must fvck. SCORING: highest measured efficiency @ 10A wins (adjusted for BOM cost). WHY THIS IS FUN: because suddenly all the stuff those nice little regulator ICs do for you becomes YOUR PROBLEM. you must engineer. ELECTRICALLY. things like: • current limiting • duty cycle saturation • loop stability • slope compensation • dead time • gate drive timing • startup behavior • transient response EXPECTED OUTCOMES: • REAL EE is harder than it looks, i might fail. you might fail. BUT WE ALL LEARN. • writing a control loop from scratch is CURSED. • switch node ringing is DEMONIC. and guess what i2cjak, the inductor you'll pick will be WRONG!!! your efficiency will mysteriously drop by 15% because physics HATES YOU!!! but, you are a MANIAC. and you will eventually produce something BEAUTIFUL even IF it is covered in your BLOOD, SWEAT, AND TEARS. so anon. do you ACCEPT the challenge? or will you retreat back to your TPS5430 application notes like a frightened little B*TCH? MAY THE SUPREME WIZARD OF ELECTRONS WIN!!!

Chuckled harder than I should have

@Oilfield_Rando Cool story. Characters sucked and made it lame. It was too drama heavy with a bunch of bullshit. If you just fast-forward through 82 percent of all the bullshit, its a hell of a show. SG1 and SGA remain awesome.

Hey nerds, remind me, is Stargate SG-U any good?

@Nexuist LMAO

Global shipping is facing an unprecedented crisis and twocents has the solution. Today, we’re proud to announce House of Hormuz: Using public AIS data you can now bet on which cargo ships will attempt to cross the Strait and when they will re-appear on the other side. Once the crews start insider trading, they’ll all make a run for it and force the strait open! Iran can’t sink them all!

@spikesguides If you're printing them, you can just emboss it onto the side of your can in your slicer software real easy.

I'm finally gonna do it and start e-filing form 1's. Does anyone have any tips for how to engrave receivers and/or DIY cans?

@SpaceBasedFox Good drawings Fox.

Old drawings from high school. My ass was not paying attention lol

@bennbuilds @NBCNews I can't wait to see it in action. Epic project

We were on @NBCNews !!! So excited to share what we are building with new audiences!

@realgedmiller @romanhelmetguy Absolutely.

@DisruptionUp @romanhelmetguy You've read John Ringo's books haven't you

We have a 5-10 year window in which we'll completely dominate space. If we're not putting some crazy sci-fi alien weapons up there we're really fucking up.
