@imetatronink So is it fair to assume the rest of the area is mined?

⚓️🚫 Strait is the Gate and Narrow is the Way Iran has drawn a firm "None Shall Pass" barrier across the main channel of the Strait of Hormuz, and require all passage to proceed via the narrow gap between Larak and Qeshm — by permission only. They can keep this up indefinitely.

Anthropic just dropped a massive update to the skill-creator skill for Claude Code / OpenClaw. One prompt to install it: "Anthropic updated their skill creator skill and I'd like for you to update/put this in so when we ask about creating new skills we can use this skill creator skill github.com/anthropics/ski…"

@LupacescuEuard @RayFernando1337 I pasted this into my Claude Code CLI ✅

OpenClaw report. 50 real-world use cases. Generated by @blevlabs' cognitive AI architecture by looking at my AI lists here on X. All via the @xAI API. In other words, it read all of X today and wrote this report. I bet the algorithm didn't show you most of these. docs.google.com/document/d/1pc…

Welcome to the pico world! 🔬 Micro-dispensing at the picoliter scale is incredible when you compare it to everyday numbers: a single raindrop is about 50 microliters, roughly 50 million times larger than a picoliter. Being able to place droplets this small without touching the surface is key for biotech, diagnostics, and micro-electronics, where tiny volumes matter. And at this scale, two basics become critical: → Accuracy = how close you are to the real value. → Precision = how repeatable each droplet is. I could watch it all day long! 🤯 ~~ ♻ Join the weekly robotics newsletter, and never miss any news → ziegler.substack.com

NEW: 758-meter-long Hongqi bridge in the southwestern province of Sichuan, China collapses just months after opening. Construction on the Chinese bridge had finished earlier this year, according to Reuters. The collapse of the bridge was reportedly triggered by landslides. Police closed traffic on Monday shortly before the bridge collapsed. There are no casualties, according to local reports.

Big news for Information Theory! The authors write: “We propose that it is the lasting nature of chromatin fatigue that, if allowed to accumulate during the lifetime of an organism, could lead to progressive decline of genome function and contribute to tissue aging” 👏

@digijordan "Loosh" flows thru you as a Salt-N-Pepa song. For me, it immediately morphed into "Gimme the Loosh, Gimme the Loosh" via BIGGIE. OMG. ROFL. That is the best. Thank you, for your, Loosh/Monroe/Book review video ❤️ 🙏 youtube.com/watch?v=fMayh7…

This is wild. Dr. Suzanne Humphries takes us full circle from Gain Of Function experiments using SV40 in polio vaccine vials in the 1950's, to how we "end up with SV40 [sequences] in the plasmid of our [Pfizer mRNA] vaccines in 2021". SV40 was "called the perfect war machine by one of the world's experts". Dr. Suzanne Humphries: "I happen to know that there was a situation in the 1960s, where simian virus 40, SV forty, a cancer promoting virus, called 'the perfect war machine' by one of the world's experts, that this virus was taken from the polio vaccine, because that's where the scientist had to get it from, because humanity was being injected with it alongside a lot of other things." "They literally took this virus, and they irradiated it in a gain of function experiment, to make it more carcinogenic, and then they would put it in animals take those tumors, put the tumors in a blender, take them to the lab irradiate it with a linear particle accelerator to make it more aggressive, and they would keep going in a circle until they got the maximum killing capacity out of this virus" "This was gain of function stuff going on in the 1960s, under the guise of killing Fidel Castro [and] the technology supposedly disappeared, and then boom, we end up with SV40 in the plasmid in our vaccines in 2021"

If @kscalelabs robotics can't get funding, why should the US government prop up OpenAI? In the competition with China having a strong robotics ecosystem is far more important than keeping an LLM builder up and running. The technology under robotics is changing away from LLMs to world models, or VLAs. Watch @XPengMotors's presentations last night for proof of that. OpenAI doesn't have those. Why should we (US citizens) fund its R&D? @GaryMarcus is right about this one. Also, there are new AIs coming that are far more efficient. Go see what @helloVERSES has cooking with active inference. Betting on the old technology is just a waste of money.

@Scobleizer @kscalelabs @Scobleizer I believed! I ordered mine that 1st week of July.

The Mechanical Calculator by KingTut is a fully mechanical calculator is designed to solve times tables in seconds. Entirely 3D-printed, it requires no glue, screws, or additional hardware for working.

ASML has the best technical marketing team. This video explains in layman's terms how source mask optimization (SMO) works. It's the engineering sorcery behind printing the most advanced chips.

Here is the full run of MicroFactory, that autonomously assembles a photo frame - a real product sold on Amazon. This is a good example of how to deal with complex tasks, while we do not yet have a large set of robotic data to train a big general ai model. Thread:

Acidity, not sugar causes cavities. But sugar and starchy carbohydrates are the first step. @doctorstaci explains on the Huberman Lab podcast out now:
