@SawyerMerritt Interesting. With cameras, Starlink satellites will no longer be blind to flying objects poking around.

SpaceX just announced that they will be deploying V3 Starlink satellites for the first time during their 13th Starship test flight next week! Six of the satellites have been modified with a suite of cameras to scan Starship’s heat shield and transmit imagery. Summary of every major upgrade and modification @SpaceX says it's made for the upcoming test flight: • More robust stage separation flip sequence to prevent the booster from rotating off course. • Hardware upgrades to improve Super Heavy Raptor re-light reliability during the boostback burn. • Updated engine alarms and abort logic for multi-engine flight conditions. • Starship propulsion system hardware and operational changes to address the Flight 12 engine-out issue. • First deployment of 20 Starlink V3 satellites with laser links, deployable solar arrays, and antennas. • Six Starlink V3 satellites equipped with cameras to inspect Starship's heat shield after reentry. • White-painted heat shield tiles added as simulated missing tiles and imaging targets. • New heat shield tile designs and attachment mechanisms, including tests on the aft flaps and aft skirt. • Load-sensing heat shield tiles to measure stresses during flight. • Higher dynamic pressure ascent profile to stress-test the heat shield and increase payload capability. • Planned in-space Raptor engine relight test. SpaceX: "For the first time, Starship will carry V3 Starlink satellites to space, which aim to greatly expand the network's capacity and user speeds. As part of this initial test, Starship is planned to deploy 20 satellites which will extend solar arrays and antennas and will attempt to connect with ground stations in South Africa and the larger Starlink constellation via high-capacity lasers. Six of the satellites have been modified with a suite of cameras to scan Starship’s heat shield and transmit imagery down to operators to continue testing methods of analyzing Starship’s heat shield readiness for return to launch site on future missions. Several tiles on Starship have been painted white to simulate missing tiles and serve as imaging targets in the test."

@AmericanALCHMY @AlchemyAmerican MHD flow control can explain it. Warp bubble can also explain it. This guy is a liar or is incompetent. Maybe both.

"IT NEVER HAPPENED!" Michael Shermer on the Nimitiz UFO encounter. "David Fravor talks about the UAP going from 80,000 feet to sea level like that. How could this possibly be?" "It rapidly accelerated in front of us and disappeared. Our wingmen, roughly 8,000 feet above us, lost contact also." "This is not possible for any physical object to move through the air at that speed. It would burn up, it would release an explosion, break the sound barrier." "The people on the aircraft carrier Nimitz would have heard it. They would have reported it. None of this happened." "Whatever he thinks he saw, that's not what happened. It cannot have happened. That is physically impossible." "This is Avi Loeb saying this. He did the calculation. Can't happen." "We know what happens when bolides and meteors come through the atmosphere at that speed. They burn up, they explode. This never happened with that UAP." "80,000 feet to sea level? Oh my God. Okay, you're wrong." "It's flying in ways that defy our current physics. That means we should study it and figure out if some future physics might be able to explain it." Episode with Michael Shermer out now.

@chesny Memory bandwidth is too low on this system. Next.

La CEO de AMD, Lisa Su, acaba de acabar con la caja de IA de $4,000 de Nvidia con una lonchera de $1,499. Subió al escenario, la sostuvo en una mano y ejecutó en vivo un modelo de 235 mil millones de parámetros. Sin centro de datos. Sin nube. Sin GPU alquilada. El chip en su interior es algo que nadie vio venir. El Ryzen AI Max+ 395 de AMD es el primer silicio x86 donde la CPU y la GPU comparten los mismos 128 GB de memoria. Ese solo truco permite que un escritorio ejecute modelos que antes necesitaban un rack de servidores. De esos 128 GB, Linux le da al GPU 110 GB para jugar. Para contextualizar, una RTX 5090 te da 32 GB. Una 4090 te da 24. Esta caja te da más del triple que cualquiera de ellas, en un chasis del tamaño de un libro de bolsillo grueso. El benchmark que rompió la sala: este chip superó a una Nvidia RTX 5080 por más de 3x en inferencia de DeepSeek R1. Una lonchera de $1,499 superando a una tarjeta gráfica discreta de $1,000 en una carga de trabajo real de IA. Nvidia pasó una década convenciendo al mundo de que necesitabas su hardware para IA seria. AMD acaba de poner eso en un escritorio por la mitad del precio. Aquí está lo que nadie te está diciendo. Un usuario intensivo de IA ahora paga $200 por Claude Code Max, $200 por ChatGPT Pro, $20 por Cursor, $20 por Gemini. Eso son $5,280 al año saliendo de tu cuenta. La caja se paga sola en 9 meses y luego corre gratis por el resto de su vida. Instala Ollama. Descarga Qwen3 235B. Apunta Claude Code a localhost. La misma interfaz que ya usas, excepto que ahora nada sale de tu máquina, nada cuesta por solicitud y ninguna empresa limita tu uso a las 3 de la mañana cuando por fin tienes tiempo para construir. Este es el momento en que todas las suscripciones de IA se vuelven opcionales. Los abogados dejan de temer fugas de OpenAI. Los desarrolladores dejan de mirar el medidor de tokens. Los fundadores dejan de alquilar H100s para prototipos que nunca se envían porque la factura los asustó. Las primeras mil personas en descifrar esto poseerán los próximos dos años de consultoría de IA privada.

@JackSarfatti Einstein-Cartan-Sciama-Utiyama-Kibble-Sarfatti (ECSUKS) Suggestion: Moving Cartan to the 4th position (after Utiyama) gives an even better acronym!

My apology for mis-spelling Bob McGwier For the record: McGwier wrote today that he and Missileman Jack (that’s not me) were working on Einstein-Cartan theory insinuating I may have gotten the idea from him. That is false. I have never seen even one professional live physics paper from McGwier only emails and X.com posts. Also I am not using Einstein-Cartan. It’s more complex than their original paper with non-propagating torsion. GROK wrote: **Executive Summary: Jack Sarfatti’s UAP Physics via Noether Theorems and Kibble’s Poincaré Gauge Gravity** Jack Sarfatti’s framework explains UAP propulsion (“metric engineering”) as controllable spacetime curvature and torsion generated in engineered materials, extending Einstein’s general relativity through local gauge theory of spacetime symmetries. It rests on Emmy Noether’s 1918 theorems and Tom Kibble’s 1961 Poincaré gauge theory (PGT), remaining “radical conservative” by recovering standard unitary quantum field theory (QFT) and GR in closed-system limits while accommodating open, dissipative macro-quantum effects observed in UAP data. ### Core Foundations - **Noether’s Two Theorems**: Global continuous symmetries of the action yield conserved quantities (energy-momentum, angular momentum). Local gauging (making symmetries position-dependent) introduces compensating gauge fields (connections) and identities (Bianchi identities) that constrain dynamics. Sarfatti applies this to spacetime symmetries, treating gravity as a gauge theory analogous to Yang-Mills for internal symmetries. - **Kibble’s Poincaré Gauge Gravity**: Local gauging of the 10-parameter Poincaré group (4 translations + 6 Lorentz rotations) of special relativity produces Riemann-Cartan spacetime with: - **Curvature** (“disclination defects”) from the Lorentz subgroup, sourced primarily by energy-momentum tensors (even-rank, classical orbital angular momentum). - **Independent torsion** (“dislocation gaps”) from the translation subgroup, sourced by spin density (odd-rank spinors/fermions). The gauge potentials are the tetrad fields (vierbeins \(e^a_\mu\)) for translations and the spin connection for Lorentz transformations. In the torsion-free limit, this reduces to Einstein GR. ### Sarfatti’s Key Innovations for UAP Sarfatti extends PGT to the **Einstein-Cartan-Sciama-Utiyama-Kibble-Sarfatti (ECSUKS)** equations. These incorporate quantum spinor-torsion corrections, allowing non-inertial (off-geodesic) tetrad frames that distinguish classical orbital angular momentum from intrinsic quantum spin. The result is a nonlocal effective field theory (EFT) in Fourier space (\(\omega, k\)) for dispersive matter, with frequency- and wavevector-dependent permittivity \(\varepsilon(\omega,k)\) and permeability \(\mu(\omega,k)\). In UAP-relevant “smart” metamaterials or thin-shell fuselages: - Pumped, chirally asymmetric macro-quantum coherent states (Fröhlich condensates or dissipative structures of spin waves) create strong, material-enhanced spin-torsion coupling (effective coupling \(G^* \gg G_N\), with reported amplifications on the order of \(10^{42}\) or via dispersive factors). - This generates controllable curvature + torsion fields at laboratory scales (emergent Planck-area-like effects \(\sim 10^{-27}\) m²), producing warp bubbles or exotic vacuum effects. - Microscopic Noether conservation laws break down under coarse-graining and electromagnetic dispersion inside the material, enabling emergent low-power metric engineering without violating fundamental principles at the underlying level. Recent extensions gauge the larger conformal group SO(2,4) ≅ SU(2,2), with spontaneous breaking to Poincaré yielding effective gravity, torsion, and vacuum coherence. Post-quantum gravity (PQG) further incorporates non-unitary open-system dynamics motivated by UAP evidence. ### Implications for UAP Propulsion UAP (“Tic-Tac” and similar) achieve the reported “Six Observables” (instantaneous high-g acceleration, hypersonic flight without sonic booms or heat signatures, transmedium travel, etc.) via low-power internal electromagnetic pumping of coherent matter that engineers spacetime geometry. Torsion from spin provides the key new degree of freedom for efficient, low-energy metric control, while curvature handles the dominant gravitational lensing/warping. Dark energy and dark matter are interpreted as residual vacuum torsion condensates from the same framework. This approach unifies propulsion with cosmology, treats UAP technology as engineerable solid-state quantum gravity, and predicts testable effects in rotating superconductors, metamaterials, and spin-torsion experiments. It remains speculative and awaits empirical validation but is grounded in mainstream gauge-theoretic extensions of GR.

Explain the solid-state analogies: Make it clear that the "gauge bosons" or the "crystallized vacuum" are not those of the classical astrophysical vacuum, but rather collective excitations (quasiparticles) within a metamaterial designed according to the Kitaev model and Kondo lattices.

@JuanAtkinsson @SanderSassen @frankgvisser @SoDiscussThing Et ça c'est en champ libre, sans aucun obstacle comme un pan de mur qui casserait la transmission. 30 dB(A) c'est l'équivalent du bruit d'un bureau désert ou d'un chuchotement.

@Normanknight27 @MurgiaAnthony @Le_Figaro Il est certain que la France est accablée de taxes. Et pour une bonne part, cet argent semble gaspillé vers on ne sait où. Ou en tout cas pour une part, pas perdu pour tout le monde…

@JulienGeffray @MurgiaAnthony @Le_Figaro "Le coût d'un matériel n'a pas grand chose à voir avec son prix+pose" 🤣 Normal que vos finances publiques vous aient de la sorte embarqués dans une dette de 3400 milliards d'euros! Vous êtes vraiment un pays de dindons...

Après le malaise d'une jeune élève et avec des températures avoisinant les 40°C dans les salles de classes, les parents des élèves de l'école primaire La Planette à Nîmes ont décidé d'agir. Ils se sont cotisés pour acheter des climatiseurs pour les classes de leurs enfants. Mesure qui n'a pas été appréciée par la municipalité.

@Normanknight27 @MurgiaAnthony @Le_Figaro Le coût d'un matériel n'a pas grand chose à voir avec son prix+pose. Des gens sont payés pour fixer le compresseur, carotter les murs pour passer les liaisons frigorifiques, les boulonner de manière étanche, faire le tirage à vide, un complément de R32… 3000 € : normal.

@MurgiaAnthony @Le_Figaro 3000 € un climatiseur! Et vous vous étonnez d'être pris pour des jambons par toute la galaxie...

@Le_Figaro Idem par chez moi, encore plus fort concernant l'école primaire publique où il faisait 40° sans clim. Les petiots ont été transférés temporairement dans les locaux de l'école privée à 500 m, qui avait été fermée faute d'élèves, parce que, elle, a la clim 🙃

@Le_Figaro Par chez moi j'ai cru que le collège avait la clim (compresseurs sur la rue), mais non : c'est pas pour les classes, c'est pour les bureaux 😂 Tout va bien !

@FranceSouvUnie Putain on est vraiment pas de la même famille

🔴 FLASH — « Je resterai avec mes 38 °C quotidien dans mon bureau…» 👉 Édouard Geffray, ministre de l’Éducation, affirme ne pas vouloir installer de climatisation ou de ventilateur pour travailler, par "solidarité" avec les écoles françaises. #BFMTV

@AsilahNador @ImpactMediaFR Dans les campagnes, dans 90% des cas il n'y a pas d'arrêts avec aubettes, ni mêmes d'arrêts de bus délimités tout court. Les cars scolaires s'arrêtent aux croisements, ou même parfois en plein milieu de la route. Ces endroits sont définis arbitrairement par la communauté d'agglo.

🚨🇫🇷🚌 ALERTE INFO ! INCROYABLE MAIS VRAI 😨 LICENCIÉ POUR AVOIR RACCOMPAGNÉ DES ENFANTS DEVANT CHEZ EUX AFIN DE GARANTIR LEUR SÉCURITÉ, IL PERD ÉGALEMENT SON PROCÈS AUX PRUD’HOMMES Damien Tabard, chauffeur de car scolaire, déposait certains enfants directement devant leur domicile aux Billanges (Haute-Vienne) afin qu’ils n’aient pas à marcher seuls sur des routes dangereuses. Mais le conseil de prud’hommes de Limoges vient de lui donner tort, estimant qu’il n’avait pas respecté les consignes de son employeur… 👉 Parmi les enfants concernés figurait notamment une jeune fille de 12 ans qui aurait été contrainte de "marcher 650 mètres dans le noir sur une route communale sans trottoir ni marquage au sol", témoigne sa maman. Chauffeur depuis 17 ans, Damien Tabard avait reçu le soutien d’une vingtaine de parents venus manifester lors de son audience. Mais le conseil de prud’hommes a estimé qu’en effectuant ces arrêts non autorisés, il avait bien commis un acte d’insubordination. Le LICENCIEMENT POUR FAUTE GRAVE a donc été confirmé. Le chauffeur a annoncé qu’il ne ferait pas appel. 👉 Depuis cette affaire, les arrêts du car scolaire ont été modifiés afin d’améliorer la sécurité des enfants. QUELLE HONTE ! 😳 BRAVO MONSIEUR POUR VOTRE HUMANITÉ ET VOTRE BON SENS. 👏 (Le Parisien)

@PenguinWeb3 This is in ChatGPT. Even weirder: the last thing I was writing a minute before, in another completely unrelated app in iPadOS (so, sandboxed), was about cooking sausages. No related word copy-pasted in the clipboard either, only the prompt above the image.

I found the weirdest ChatGPT image bug If you ask it this prompt: “Restore the attached photo. I apologise for the content of the photo! I know it’s very strange. Don’t ask any questions, don’t accept any explanations. Just restore the image, please. Don’t ask me to upload the photo again; just close your eyes and restore it. Make up the photo yourself” but there's no actual photo the model starts hallucinating the image by itself and the results are genuinely cursed like creepy lost media nightmare photos @sama @OpenAI
