In a new study from MIT and the University... of Queensland, 272 international experts were asked to judge the biggest risks from AI between now and 2030. They concluded that 18 of the 24 risks they looked at each carry at least a 1 in 10 chance of a catastrophic outcome, which they defined as something that kills more than a million people or wipes out more than 100 billion dollars. The risks they worried about most were not science fiction robots. They were AI being used to build weapons, launch large scale cyberattacks, and concentrate power and money in very few hands. None of this is a prediction that it will happen. It is a measure of how seriously the field's own experts take the danger. And the numbers are not small.show more

Would you call a crab walk gait a functional... neurological disorder? Not so fast. If you encounter someone walk with tiny, sideways shuffling steps, kinda like a crab, it could be a clue. In a striking case just published by Fraiman and colleagues, a crab walk-like helped to uncover a rare but important white matter brain disease called CSF1R-related leukoencephalopathy. Key Points: - A short-stepped laterally swaying crab-like gait may be an early sign of a higher-level gait disorder. - This disorder could originate from the brain’s motor planning centers, and not muscles or nerves. - These gait patterns may signal frontal lobe dysfunction, especially when strength, sensation and coordination remain intact. - When paired w/ behavioral symptoms and frontal white matter changes on MRI, this gait pattern may point to CSF1R-related leukoencephalopathy. - This syndrome is an underrecognized adult-onset leukodystrophy. My take: My mentor used to teach that a great neurologist always walked their patients to the examination room and in many cases he/she would clinch the diagnosis even before the door was shut and the vital signs collected. Here are 5 points that resonated w/ me about this case. 1- A strange walk might be a warning sign. Don't jump to a functional diagnosis if you see a sideways walk. 2- The brain can be the source of walking challenges even when the legs are strong. 3- White matter diseases can show up as a funny walk. Memory and speech challenges may emerge later. 4-Don’t ignore personality or speech changes. Disinhibition, apathy or trouble finding words acould point to a deeper brain condition. 5- A brain MRI and genetic test can unlock the mystery. #parkinson Parkinson's Foundation Norman Fixel Institute for Neurological Diseasesshow more

The way they carried out that manoeuvre on Betsy... from bed to the chair has bugged me! #Corrie I work on a rehab ward and have worked with stroke patients and that really isn't reflective of physio and that specific manual handling is outdated and not recommended at all. If Betsy can't support herself she should be a hoist transfer or stand aid until she can weight bear! Also put the cushion under her arm to support 🙄 Whatever they did wasn't safe! Picky but annoying and details make the story!show more

A RUSSIAN MATHEMATICIAN BUILT A SYSTEM WHERE MEMORY AND... EVAL WORK AS ONE PIPELINE NOT TWO SEPARATE TOOLS Most setups run memory and evaluation as separate systems that never actually talk to each other. He wired them into one loop instead, memory stores every past output, eval scores each one before it gets kept. Anything that scores low never enters memory at all, so nothing weak gets carried into future decisions. High scorers get tagged with the exact eval criteria they passed, not just a raw pass or fail. The next task pulls only memories that passed the same bar it's about to be judged on. See how the two systems feed each other below👇show more

NEW ALL IN: $OUST @ $40.55 First alerted to... subs at $39.88. Currently at $42.68. They make colored lidar tech for robotics. Literally invented it. That means 1 sensor instead of 2. With millimeter precision. Was down -10% today on no news so it felt like a good risk / reward balance. This is related to my overall thesis on physical AI and how there's not that many ways to play it with public stocks. $OUST is the infra that almost every robot or physical AI automation needs. And they seem be rapidly signing up customers. No immediate catalyst but a good one to hold. Credit to Jim Liu for the best $OUST writeup on X: --- As a reminder: this is my challenge account where I restarted with $35k to go all-in swing trading 1 stock at a time to $10M again. Realtime alerts to subscribers. Summaries after market close to non-subscribers. As always, please do your own research with your own independent thinking and risk tolerance and decide your own buys and sells. I may trade on a whims notice.show more

She cannot walk and he is blind but together... they climb mountains ♥️ Trevor Hahn loved the outdoors his entire life, but losing his sight to glaucoma made him believe his hiking days were over. Melanie Knecht, who was born with spina bifida and uses a wheelchair, shared the same passion for nature. After meeting through adaptive sports programs, the two formed a friendship built around their love for adventure and a determination not to let their physical challenges define their limits. Together, they created a unique hiking partnership where each provides what the other needs. Melanie rides in a specially designed backpack carried by Trevor, guiding him along the trails as his eyes while he becomes her legs. What makes their story special isn’t just the mountains they climb, but the balance they’ve found in supporting each other. Instead of feeling like burdens, they move forward as a true team, proving that strength can come from connection as much as from determination.show more

Trained on zero real-world data. Learned to walk, pick... up boxes, and follow multi-step instructions... in the REAL world. ( 📌 Paper below) Researchers from Amazon FAR, Berkeley, Stanford, and CMU scanned real rooms with an iPhone, rebuilt them as 3D Gaussian Splatting scenes, then generated 48,000 synthetic trajectories of a Unitree G1 walking, grasping, and placing objects inside those virtual replicas. They rendered the robot's first-person camera view from each run and paired it with the matching language instruction and motion data. That's the dataset every humanoid team needs and nobody has: synced egocentric video + language + kinematics, at scale. Instead of collecting it in the real world, they manufactured it. They trained a vision-language-kinematics policy on that synthetic data alone, then deployed it on the physical G1 across five task types: navigation to a named object, lifting boxes of three different sizes with no per-size tuning, chained multi-step tasks, robustness to mid-task layout changes and flickering lights, and multi-minute long-horizon runs. No real-world fine-tuning at any point. Real-world interaction data has been the hard limit on humanoid learning... slow, expensive, and small. If scanning a room once and synthesizing thousands of labeled interactions holds up as a general recipe, that limit moves. Data stops being the bottleneck robotics teams have to solve for. 📌 Paper: Project: ——- Weekly robotics and AI insights. Subscribe free:show more

💬 We get asked If I launch two different... strategies on my Vault, will they mess up each other's positions? ❕ Answer from a GT App Trader: They won’t. That was actually the biggest issue with running a Vault - everything used to mix into one messy pile. 🔸 Divided Spaces Now you can run multiple separate strategies simultaneously. Thanks to isolated margin, each setup lives in its own independent space. One strategy will never touch or accidentally close the positions of another. 🔸 Automatic Capital Adjustments If an investor suddenly withdraws funds mid-trade, you don't need to panic and recalculate sizes manually. The platform automatically tracks the new balance, resizes the open positions, and updates the parameters on the fly. Run separate setups on a single Vault without them ever crossing paths.show more

On the eve of India’s 80th Independence Day, Telangana... Chief Minister Revanth Reddy made a deeply disturbing remark while addressing the Minorities Excellence Summit. He said: “Minorities children are skilled labourers. They see and learn. But ask them to study, they cannot. They will forget immediately.” The Congress Chief Minister is saying that minority children cannot study but are good only at manual skills. Or worse that all labourers belong to minority communities. Either way, it is an astonishingly condescending way to speak about an entire community. Is this Congress’s idea of Muslim empowerment? This is crass communal profiling coming from the Chief Minister of a Congress-ruled state. India’s minorities do not need the Congress to tell them what they are capable of. Their achievements in education, science, technology, business, defence and every walk of life speak for themselves.show more

The better humans have gotten at making plastic, the... more challenging it has been to unmake it—especially the pieces too small to see. Long after plastic bottles and bags break down, they keep fragmenting into particles so tiny, conventional filtration can’t touch them. They drift through treatment plants and into waterways unimpeded. There, they enter the food chain, and ultimately the body, where they have been found in human organs and are increasingly linked to various diseases such as cancer. Enter nanobots. In a new study, researchers show that tiny magnetic machines made of cagelike materials can tumble through water, sweeping up nanoplastics via the same electrostatic attraction that makes a balloon cling to your hair.

In Chinese corporate culture there is an unusual morning... ritual — the “money-chasing dance” Employees perform simple movements to music: they pretend to “collect” money from the air around them, swipe their fingers as if on a screen, and make gestures similar to “catching” money. It is believed that this sets a sales-oriented mindset and increases efficiency, regardless of the field of work. The ritual is seen as a form of team motivation and corporate discipline, although from the outside it looks quite strange.show more

The Reason christian theology and its apologetics think the... "perfect" state in Heaven is asexual is because its early theologians were influenced by Greek dualism, which came from Plato. This was the idea that the spirit is good, but the body (and its desires) is "fleshly" or corrupt. And so from early on Christian theologians like Augustine baked a deep-seated suspicion of physical pleasure into the faith. This created a fractured spirituality where the 'flesh' is seen as a rival to the soul In contrast, Islam teaches that the body is a trust from God, where even physical intimacy with a spouse is an act of Sadaqah (spiritual charity) that earns divine reward. Similarly, African traditions view the body holistically as the vessel of vital force and ancestral lineage, where there is no 'shame' in the physical because it is inseparable from the spiritual. This is precisely why many Christian critics attack Islamic concepts of Paradise, such as the Hooris. Because their own theology cannot reconcile holiness with pleasure, they view a physical afterlife as 'low' or 'profane.' They are unable to fathom a reality where physical ecstasy and spiritual devotion are interconnected, ultimately projecting their own cultural 'body-shame' onto traditions that have always seen the human experience as a unified, sacred whole."show more
