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.

The Islamic imam who put 1million naira to any Muslim that can behead a pastor for preaching Jesus has said:
“…whoever carries out this job (of beheading the pastor), I swear to Allah I’ll give him one million naira. We have nothing to lose even if after beheading this pastor, the Arewa plunges into chaos, we have nothing to lose…”
Dear @OfficialDSSNG @PoliceNG
We know you will pretend not to see this. But we are bringing this to your attention again.
There are Muslim clerics in northern Nigeria who are openly calling for the beheading of Christian pastors.
Pls help retweet this for the world to see.

@rrrushilpatel @rabbriansamuel so he’s a dumbass, and you’re the smart one? the fact you made this remark is the evidence you don’t know science.

@rabbriansamuel This is what you say when you don’t know how science works and you’re a dumbass

Okay but did anyone else ever have a radio listening phase or just me? I mean a time in your life when you listened to the radio religiously

welcome to the genius of the win-win advertising business model.
the company gets paid by those who want their ads seen, and also paid by those who don’t want to see ads. what a stroke of genius.
𝒵𝒾𝓀✯@_Gottalovezik
So basically, companies pay Youtube to show ads and we pay Youtube to not show ads

you can’t defend this apc government and not look or sound stupid. because you must lie in the face of glaring evidence.

Daniel Bwala met a serious journalist that actually does his research and he capitulated. Very embarrassing outing. I don’t blame him sha, defending Tinubu on security is a lost battle.

@desmond74572 @phspecials i was also at igbogo during this time and this particular night was crazy. the shooting, the explosions. i heard as the men were speaking to someone right before they shot him. that period was a deadly mess. blood and bits of brain in the gutter. wasn’t a good time at all.

2017/2018 era, choba crisis,igbogo road, island men with skull for waist and red pant make one bloody hit one night 🌙, them lace shots from night till day break ,them kill few chiefs, behead some Deygbam niggas that night,dynamite come board sef , everywhere dey shake that night, i dey my one room with my man with our door wey no fit lock ,we just lie down flat dey pray ,dey ask ourselves, na war dey happen for here !,just cries and echos, you dey confirm am say dynamite come board, police station wey dey that Elena side no cough ,after that night the next morning Wike give state of emergency for choba.I no wan talk of when them bracket me and 7 of my men for outside our lodge gate,cause all of us for the lodge na boys , and we no dey hear word lol,as one of my man escape 2 sec , e para the executioner, I said my last prayer 😆, the guy wey escape na the slowest person wey we believe say no go fit pull u that stunt lol.
God be praised im still here

“the department of war must have full unrestricted access to Anthropic’s models for every LAWFUL use…”
imagine making such demands for someone else’s property and throwing a political tantrum because they refused.
beneath the adult body lies a child’s mentality.
Secretary of War Pete Hegseth@SecWar
This week, Anthropic delivered a master class in arrogance and betrayal as well as a textbook case of how not to do business with the United States Government or the Pentagon. Our position has never wavered and will never waver: the Department of War must have full, unrestricted access to Anthropic’s models for every LAWFUL purpose in defense of the Republic. Instead, @AnthropicAI and its CEO @DarioAmodei, have chosen duplicity. Cloaked in the sanctimonious rhetoric of “effective altruism,” they have attempted to strong-arm the United States military into submission - a cowardly act of corporate virtue-signaling that places Silicon Valley ideology above American lives. The Terms of Service of Anthropic’s defective altruism will never outweigh the safety, the readiness, or the lives of American troops on the battlefield. Their true objective is unmistakable: to seize veto power over the operational decisions of the United States military. That is unacceptable. As President Trump stated on Truth Social, the Commander-in-Chief and the American people alone will determine the destiny of our armed forces, not unelected tech executives. Anthropic’s stance is fundamentally incompatible with American principles. Their relationship with the United States Armed Forces and the Federal Government has therefore been permanently altered. In conjunction with the President's directive for the Federal Government to cease all use of Anthropic's technology, I am directing the Department of War to designate Anthropic a Supply-Chain Risk to National Security. Effective immediately, no contractor, supplier, or partner that does business with the United States military may conduct any commercial activity with Anthropic. Anthropic will continue to provide the Department of War its services for a period of no more than six months to allow for a seamless transition to a better and more patriotic service. America’s warfighters will never be held hostage by the ideological whims of Big Tech. This decision is final.

In 2017, I stepped onto the Facebook campus in Menlo Park. They took us to the Oculus VR lab first. A geeky engineer gave us a demo of the VR features and ended on the haptic gloves that let you "feel" virtual objects without touching anything real. Then he paused, voice almost reverent: “Imagine connecting anyone in the world… real social interaction… without ever leaving home.” The demo was amazing but I walked out with a strange feeling. This guy is "solving for humanity" and is excited about a world no longer needs physical human connection
We passed a long hall of developers. One guy—Black, friendly—leaned over his monitors and asked where the group of us (mostly Africans) was from. We chatted. His desk had big screens, half-eaten snacks, the faint smell of takeout lingering. His neighbor, paler watched curiously but, too timid to join. The desks were comfortable, the food smell everywhere, as it was available in every corner. It all felt… contained. Like this campus was its own sealed ecosystem, where the world outside was just data to optimize.
Fast-forward to 2020. I work at Andela, where we placed remote engineers with Silicon Valley teams. Some companies flew their leads over to meet the "remote" teammates in person. When they visited the Kigali campus I went to dinner with them. They were 5. Of this dinner I vividly remember 2 conversations. One guy launched into how "all humans are actually lactose intolerant after infancy… we're the only species that keeps drinking milk." They all nodded, confessed their own intolerances like it was a quirky universal truth. Then came the photos: a dog's birthday party. Balloons, cake, friends invited. The owner beamed like it was his kid's party. I love dogs. But something twisted in my chest. These are the people shaping the tools billions use every day—yet their version of care, connection, family… felt redirected, abstracted.
Now it's 2026, and Sam Altman says training an AI costs less than "raising a human"—because it takes "20 years of life and all the food you eat during that time before you get smart." He compared childhood—first steps, heartbreaks, scraped knees, bedtime stories, learning trust—to server racks and electricity bills. I think back to that VR promise of connection without leaving home… to offices smelling of food and isolation… to dogs celebrated like children while real human messiness gets optimized away
Chief Nerd@TheChiefNerd
🚨 SAM ALTMAN: “People talk about how much energy it takes to train an AI model … But it also takes a lot of energy to train a human. It takes like 20 years of life and all of the food you eat during that time before you get smart.”

but why is it that even in a state of imagination, you’re still helpless and struggling with a problem? is there some default wiring to be described in terms of problems or helplessness?
AllesCode@loneangelx
don't date the... "i'm sorry to hear that" and "that's crazy" men. date the... "where are you? I'll come get you" "I got you" "let's fix it" "I'm on my way" "How much?" "Let's me make a call" "It's handled" "How can I show up for you best?"

The math on this project should mass-humble every AI lab on the planet.
1 cubic millimeter. One-millionth of a human brain. Harvard and Google spent 10 years mapping it. The imaging alone took 326 days. They sliced the tissue into 5,000 wafers each 30 nanometers thick, ran them through a $6 million electron microscope, then needed Google’s ML models to stitch the 3D reconstruction because no human team could process the output.
The result: 57,000 cells, 150 million synapses, 230 millimeters of blood vessels, compressed into 1.4 petabytes of raw data. For context, 1.4 petabytes is roughly 1.4 million gigabytes. From a speck smaller than a grain of rice.
Now scale that. The full human brain is one million times larger. Mapping the whole thing at this resolution would produce approximately 1.4 zettabytes of data. That’s roughly equal to all the data generated on Earth in a single year. The storage alone would cost an estimated $50 billion and require a 140-acre data center, which would make it the largest on the planet.
And they found things textbooks don’t contain. One neuron had over 5,000 connection points. Some axons had coiled themselves into tight whorls for completely unknown reasons. Pairs of cell clusters grew in mirror images of each other. Jeff Lichtman, the Harvard lead, said there’s “a chasm between what we already know and what we need to know.”
This is why the next step isn’t a human brain. It’s a mouse hippocampus, 10 cubic millimeters, over the next five years. Because even a mouse brain is 1,000x larger than what they just mapped, and the full mouse connectome is the proof of concept before anyone attempts the human one.
We’re building AI systems that loosely mimic neural networks while still unable to fully read the wiring diagram of a single cubic millimeter of the thing we’re trying to imitate. The original is 1.4 petabytes per millionth of its volume. Every AI model on Earth fits in a fraction of that.
The brain runs on 20 watts and fits in your skull. The data center required to merely describe one-millionth of it would span 140 acres.

🚨: Scientists mapped 1 mm³ of a human brain ─ less than a grain of rice ─ and a microscopic cosmos appeared.
