@mathelirium Shape of the wing matters…. if bottom of wing was flat and top curved I’d like to see the repeat slow mo

It is often said that the lift on a wing is generated because the flow moving over the top surface has a longer distance to travel and therefore needs to go faster. This common explanation is actually wrong.

Spanish scientist Mariano Barbacid and his team have achieved something remarkable: for the first time, they’ve completely cured pancreatic cancer in mice using a triple therapy that eradicated the tumors without triggering resistance. This is one of the most aggressive cancers in humans, and this breakthrough is being celebrated as a major step forward. The real challenge now is moving it from mice to people. The therapy combines three targeted agents to block key cancer survival pathways; it is currently in the preclinical (mouse model) stage, with plans to advance to human clinical trials as soon as funding allows. If you’ve lost someone to pancreatic cancer — or simply want to support turning lab hope into real treatment — this is a moment worth paying attention to. Humanity needs breakthroughs like this.

Loving this quote :-) “I got angry enough to build something about it” As long as you can tell the story of the knowledge you have and ask good questions … That’s where we are right now👍 👊

🚨The CEO of Coinbase just said something nobody's taking seriously enough. AI agents will outnumber humans in transactions. Soon. > "They can't open bank accounts. No ID. No SSN. Banks literally cannot serve them." > "But they already own crypto wallets." So the biggest economy of the next decade won't run through banks at all. It'll run through blockchains. Not because crypto won. Because banks physically can't onboard a customer that isn't human. Banks weren't built for what's coming.

With the E – 2D Hawkeye circling above the Gulf of Oman at 20,000 feet the Iranian Salvo of 52 assorted missiles didn’t make a scratch on the Abraham Lincoln carrier strike group. This United States Navy surveillance aircraft can monitor threats as far as 500 km. - Iran launched a coordinated attack of 52 missiles targeting the USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier strike group in the Gulf of Oman at approximately 2:23 AM. - Missile breakdown: - 28 × Ghadr Fars anti-ship ballistic missiles. - 16 × Emad medium-range ballistic missiles. - 8 × Hormuz-2 anti-radar missiles. - Detection: An E-2D Advanced Hawkeye airborne early warning aircraft (flying at ~25,000 feet) detected all 52 inbound missile tracks during their boost phase using its AN/APY-9 radar. - Response time: The Hawkeye crew identified and cataloged the threats in under 40 seconds, then transmitted firing assignments via Link 16 data link. - Interception: The USS Abraham Lincoln carrier strike group (using Naval Integrated Fire Control Counter Air - NIFC-CA architecture) engaged via Aegis combat systems on Arleigh Burke-class destroyers (specifically named: USS Frank E. Petersen Jr., USS Pruance, USS Michael Murphy). - Outcome: All 52 missiles were successfully intercepted within eight minutes; no impacts on the carrier or group. - Additional context in narration: - Iran's missile arsenal was significantly depleted/weakened by prior Israeli strikes in June 2025. - Iranian media/claims of a successful hit or damage to the Lincoln are dismissed as false propaganda.

Couldn’t agree more with a post on X…..asking good questions is the path…..period

The most valuable skill in history just changed forever. Elon Musk just handed you the only survival framework that matters. Musk: “The biggest thing is, what questions do we not know to ask?” For centuries, the smartest person in the room held the most answers. AI didn’t level the playing field. It burned it down. Superintelligence in your pocket answers anything. Instantly. Perfectly. For free. Musk: “Once you know the question, the answer is usually the easy part.” Let that land. The next generation of winners won’t be defined by what they know. They’ll be defined by what they think to ask. AI commoditized execution. Script, plan, code, strategy. Models handle all of it. The bottleneck was never intelligence. It was never labor. It’s curiosity. It’s always been curiosity. Traditional education spent decades training you to memorize answers. AI made that obsolete overnight. Human value is no longer tied to knowledge. It’s tied to the judgment of which problems are even worth solving. That’s the gap machines can’t close. Because asking the right question isn’t a skill. It’s a worldview. It requires taste. Intuition. The ability to look at a landscape everyone else is staring at and see the one thing nobody thought to interrogate. Master the art of asking the exact right question to a machine that knows everything and you can build anything. The skill isn’t knowing. It’s knowing what to ask. That judgment, that taste for what’s worth pursuing, that’s the last truly human edge. The only one markets will keep paying for. Answers are infinite now. Free, instant, and available to everyone on earth equally. The only thing separating you from the person who builds the next great company is the quality of your questions. Answers are free. Questions are everything.

@r0ck3t23 Great perspective

Katherine Boyle just identified Elon Musk’s most important contribution to America, and it has nothing to do with the products he shipped. Boyle, General Partner at a16z: “I think Elon’s most important contribution to this country is training two generations of engineers to work with their hands again.” For ten years, America’s sharpest technical minds optimized ad clicks and built messaging apps. Software consumed ambition. The physical world became something you abstracted into APIs, not something you touched or understood. Elon didn’t reverse that through inspiration. He reversed it by building companies that required understanding manufacturing or failing completely. SpaceX and Tesla forced engineers to learn how metal fractures, how tolerances cascade through systems, how physical iteration costs months and millions per failure. No debugging. No patches. Just physics that doesn’t negotiate. Boyle: “Training two generations of engineers.” The product isn’t the cars. It’s the people. Look at who’s founding America’s critical hard-tech companies now. The common thread isn’t Stanford or MIT. It’s time on factory floors at SpaceX or Tesla. They learned welding. They learned that “impossible” just means unsolved engineering, not violated physics. They learned failure in the physical domain where mistakes compound instead of reverting. Elon didn’t build companies. He accidentally rebuilt industrial knowledge that had been decaying for thirty years while America’s best minds chased digital scale. Boyle: “Work with their hands again.” Three words that sound quaint but describe a civilizational inflection point. Software dominated because it scaled infinitely at zero marginal cost. Physical manufacturing was slow, expensive, unfashionable. Building real things became what you did if you couldn’t code. Elon made atoms matter again. Made manufacturing the hardest problem worth solving. Made physical engineering prestigious in ways it hadn’t been since humans walked on the moon. The evidence is everywhere now. Technical talent that doesn’t default to “which app” but asks “which physical thing should exist that currently doesn’t.” Ambition redirected from optimizing engagement metrics to building rockets. From scaling users to scaling factories. From virtual products to physical infrastructure. That shift matters more than any vehicle or spacecraft Musk delivered. Products obsolesce. Redirecting an entire generation’s engineering ambition from digital to physical compounds across decades and rebuilds industrial capability at civilizational scale. We stopped just coding the future. We started machining it, welding it, breaking it in reality until physics confirms it works. That transformation from virtual to tangible ambition is reconstructing American manufacturing one engineer at a time. And those engineers are now training the next wave. The compounding has started. The School of Elon doesn’t need Elon anymore. It’s self-sustaining, spreading through an entire generation that learned building real things matters more than building virtual ones. That’s not just a business achievement. That’s a civilization remembering how to make things that matter in the physical world again. And it might be the only thing that saves American technological leadership when the competition is just building faster because they never forgot.

@pascal_bornet This is why @elonmusk has always said “nothing scales like reality”….and he is right

Language feels revolutionary. Perception is far more fundamental. A few days ago at the Cisco AI Summit, Fei-Fei Li shared a perspective that completely reframes how we should view the current AI "hype" cycle. Right now, the world is obsessed with Language Models. We are captivated by the ability of machines to speak, summarize, and chat. But Fei-Fei reminded us of a fundamental biological truth: Language is a half-million-year-old luxury. Perception is a half-billion-year-old necessity. The 500-Million-Year Head Start As she explained, the "evolutionary arms race" didn't start when animals began to communicate. It started when they began to see and touch. For 500 million years, intelligence was defined by how an organism perceived, navigated, and interacted with the 3D/4D physical world. Language, by comparison, is a very recent "addon" to the nervous system. Why this matters for the "Agentic Era" In my work on Agentic AI and Intelligent Automation, I often see leaders making the mistake of thinking LLMs are the "end state" of AI. They aren't. They are just the interface. 1️⃣ Beyond the Chatbox: True Spatial Intelligence—the ability to understand geometry, physics, and causality—is the next frontier. This is what will move AI from our screens into our warehouses, hospitals, and homes. 2️⃣ The Foundation of Agency: You cannot have a truly autonomous agent if it only understands the "text" of a problem. To take action, an agent needs the "nervous system" of perception. It needs to "see" the context, not just "read" the prompt. 3️⃣ The Complexity of the Real World: As Fei-Fei noted, the world of pixels and voxels is much messier than the world of words. Mapping the physical world is the "hard mode" of AI, and it's where the most profound value will be unlocked. We’ve taught AI to talk. Now, we are teaching it to see and do. 👉 If we move beyond "chatting" with AI, which physical task in your industry would you want a spatially intelligent agent to solve first? #CiscoAmbassador #CiscoAISummit #SpatialIntelligence #AgenticAI #FutureOfWork #FeiFeiLi

Hollywood convinced generations of a dystopian future because happiness was too boring for movies.  We need better storytellers to show how our future will be abundant.
