@mymind very true, I wish I'd have more people like this (:

cool news, but it's sad to see the "quote" as literally AI generated

Okay folks, this qualifies as BREAKING NEWS! Harold “Sonny” White, the warp drive pioneer behind NASA’s EagleWorks Lab, just stepped out of stealth with Casimir Inc. to unveil MicroSPARC: the first battery free chip to harvest continuous electrical power straight from the quantum vacuum via the Casimir force. The 5 mm × 5 mm device uses millions of custom microscale Casimir cavities fabricated on a substrate. Inside each cavity, two fixed conductive walls create a region of negative vacuum pressure (the well known Casimir effect). Stationary micropillars anchored in the middle act as antennas. Electrons from the cavity walls then quantum tunnel to the pillars because the interior is a lower energy “quieter” zone — and the probability of tunneling back is orders of magnitude lower. This one way “quantum ratchet” flow generates a measurable DC current with no external power source or moving parts. Prototypes already fabricated at university nanofab facilities (Texas A&M AggieFab, MIT.nano) have been tested in RF-shielded, low noise chambers for weeks. The team reports outputs ranging from millivolts to volts at picoamp to microamp levels using precision electrometers and Kelvin Probe Force Microscopy. Target performance for the first commercial chip: ~1.5 V at 25 µA (≈40 µW continuous). Stacking and scaling could reach milliwatts or even watts per device. Initial applications are ultra low power: always on IoT sensors, wearables, and medical implants. Longer term roadmap includes trickle charging phones, powering small electronics, and eventually grid independent homes or EVs. Commercialization is targeted for 2028, starting at ~$100/W before dropping toward $10/W. White ties the work directly to his earlier theoretical paper on emergent quantization from a dynamic vacuum and sees it as a practical power source for the deep-space missions he’s long championed. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, and independent scientists have so far declined public comment. But if the engineering scales as hoped, MicroSPARC would represent a genuine paradigm shift: continuous, maintenance free power drawn from the fabric of spacetime itself. A bold leap from warp-drive theory into real hardware. Progress (and vacuum-powered chips) marches on. Photo: MicroSPARC | Casimir Inc. Source: thedebrief.org/free-energy-fr…

embodied robots are cool and all, but I like the idea of entire homes or factories that are all 1 robot.

In 1 year I will won't be using apps that don't have a chat to modify them.

It's so fun to create things right now. There has never been a better time to invent in all of human history.

@theo @FrameworkPuter Very nice but I don’t understand why we keep making keyboards with staggered key layout. It was required for mechanical typewriters, but not electronic keyboards. Human fingers aren’t slanted!
English
I spent a lot of time bugging many companies about my keyboard problems.
Framework listened. They built my dream keyboard.
I am so excited.

More businesses, more business owners, more peace, more enjoyment, more relaxation, more velocity, and I hope, more wildlife.

Nah man, those stimulus checks helped so many people through a tough time.

Concerning.

Anyone asking about developer support clearly doesn't realize how easy it is to run kimi 2.5 in a loop for 10 mintues.

Now just 1.5 hours into this mini project I have replaced ALL my Chrome extensions with my own vibe coded ones for safety After another one of my extensions after updating suddenly wanted to read my entire browser history (probably to sell off to an ad company) My own Chrome extension is called 🚀 SuperLevels and now has: 🗑️ Tab Cleaner, auto closes tabs after inactivity (with host-based exclusions) 🍪 Cookie Editor, lets you nuke all cookies or edit any 🔀 Redirect Tracer, lets you see any redirects a site took you through 🌗 Dark Mode, changes websites to dark, per site or all sites 🎚️ X Dim, changes X background back to dark blue 🎶 Music Finder, records music in a tab and submits to find the name of the song 🗺️ Add back a Maps link to Google in EU (they hide it!) 🌠 Add back a View Image link to Google Images in EU (they hide it too!) I've deleted all my other extensions (except uBlock Origin for ad blocking!), much much safer because now I control the source code!

Only one chance in this lifetime…
Like watching sunset at the beach from the most foreign seat in the cosmos, I couldn’t resist a cell phone video of Earthset. You can hear the shutter on the Nikon as @Astro_Christina is hammering away on 3-shot brackets and capturing those exceptional Earthset photos through the 400mm lens. @AstroVicGlover was in window 3 watching with @Astro_Jeremy next to him.
I could barely see the Moon through the docking hatch window but the iPhone was the perfect size to catch the view…this is uncropped, uncut with 8x zoom which is quite comparable to the view of the human eye. Enjoy.

Most business will eventually spend more on tokens than salaries.
And we will have many more businesses.
And more salaries.
Marc Andreessen 🇺🇸@pmarca
It’s very unclear to me what the upper bound on daily token use per person is going to. Orders of magnitude beyond this for sure.

Fly me to the moon! Congrats NASA and everyone involved on the launch.

@hellasdotai I have a solution in mind for specific use cases, real-time video, mostly just to ensure it's not being deepfaked. Mostly involves passing through a secure key

My religious family members love a good mark of the beast reference.
(I agree this is increasingly necessary though, I have a fun idea on how to address it that I'll open source in the near future)

It’s time for Proof Of Human.
