Cooling, upgraded. The first batch of BITMAIN Antminer L9s... under PinLinks proprietary conversion from air to hydro cooling is now going live after highly impressive testing, running inside PinLink’s custom-built hydro cabinets, which will become available through the dApp. The devices are running flawlessly with smoother operations than air cooling, stronger sustained hashrate, and improved uptime under load. These are some of the best combinations for performance optimization that Litecoin and Dogecoin miners can access. Performance-focused infrastructure meets on-chain execution meets real engineering.show more

This is what happens when on-chain infrastructure meets real-world... engineering. PinLink has converted a fleet of air-cooled L9 miners into a fully hydro-cooled system, unlocking a new performance ceiling. Higher sustained uptime, tighter thermal control, and consistently stronger hashrate under continuous load. Hydro-cooling is an edge. It removes the inefficiencies that cap air-cooled systems and optimizes physical infrastructure. This is exactly how PinLink operates: pairing on-chain coordination with physical execution to deliver maximum performance from real assets. Watch the video to see the conversion in action.show more

Strategic positioning inside the most rapidly expanding markets As... Bitcoin mining, AI, and data centers scale, energy efficiency and cooling become the limiting factors. PinLink and Crypto Miners are together building proprietary custom hydro-cooling infrastructure. The first prototypes are almost shipped. By operating this layer, PinLink captures value where demand is structurally guaranteed. These systems will also be tokenized through PinLink, enabling on-chain access to real infrastructure through expanded distribution channels. Tokenized and physical access. The link between decentralized physical infra networks. Energy, cooling, and compute converge here. $PIN —> LINKshow more

Satya Nadella: Microsoft’s latest Wisconsin AI data center keeps... yearly water consumption no higher than that of 1 local restaurant. "The cooling loop is filled once and the data centre can operate effectively with zero water consumption. Daily water usage across a year is roughly equivalent to what a single restaurant would use" The mechanism is mainly about replacing evaporative cooling with closed-loop direct-to-chip liquid cooling, so water moves like coolant inside a sealed machine rather than being boiled off into the air. Hot GB200-class AI racks produce too much heat for normal air cooling, so cold liquid is pushed through pipes into the servers and across metal cold plates touching the hottest chips. The liquid enters the rack cool, absorbs heat from the chips through cold plates, then exits the rack at a higher temperature and carries that heat through pipes to a huge cooling system outside the compute floor. Microsoft says Fairwater sends that hot water to cooling “fins” beside the datacenter, where 172 20-foot fans blow air across the fins and dump the heat into the outside air. The important detail is that the air cools the water through metal surfaces, so the water does not need to evaporate the way many older datacenters use cooling towers. The cooled liquid then returns to the servers, repeats the loop, and keeps absorbing heat from the chips. In older data centers, heat is often removed partly through cooling towers. Hot water meets moving air, some water evaporates, and that phase change carries heat away. Effective, but it consumes fresh water continuously. But Firwater is a closed loop because the same coolant keeps circulating through sealed pipes: it absorbs heat from the chips, releases that heat through radiator-like fins, then flows back to the chips again. For Wisconsin Fairwater, Microsoft says more than 90% of the facility uses closed-loop liquid cooling, while the remaining portion uses outside air and switches to water only on the hottest days. ---- From "Microsoft" YouTube channel, (link in comment)show more

Tokenization is quickly becoming one of the most talked-about... ideas in crypto. This year we’re aiming much higher. We don’t just want to tokenize miner revenue; we want to bring entire productive ecosystems on-chain. That means tokenizing baskets of assets, real energy infrastructure, AI agents, compute power, data centres, and even the cooling systems that keep high-performance hardware running at scale. All of it connected and interoperable with DeFi. Thats what we have been building throughout. A single on-chain framework that unlocks something genuinely powerful: real ownership, real yield, and real coordination between digital and physical infrastructure. From backend systems and front-end interfaces to smart contracts, AI, physical infrastructure, oracles, and autonomous agents, the stack keeps expanding and compounding. It’s about building the foundation for how value will be owned, deployed, and earned in the next generation of the on-chain economy. Simplified by PinLink.show more

A high-end injection mold can cost $400,000-$500,000, with dozens... of cavities, hydraulic slides, lifters, ejectors, valve gates and hot runners packed inside hardened H13 or S136 steel. Some molds carry 128 cavities, producing 128 parts per cycle, while precision machining can hold tolerances around ±0.005 mm. Cooling circuits circulate water through channels inside the steel, with temperature control around 1-2°C, cycle after cycle. These aren't designed for a few thousand parts. High-end production tooling can be engineered for 1-2 million+ shots, operating through repeated injection pressure, heating, cooling and mechanical movement without losing much alignment. The industrial ecosystem required to make them is enormous, CNC machining, EDM, grinding, polishing, heat treatment, metrology, mold flow simulation, thermal management and hot-runner engineering all have to work together. And China has become the centre of gravity for this industry. China represented nearly 17.8% of the global injection molding market, while some industry estimate puts Chinese manufacturers at roughly 68% of global plastic injection mold supply. These are the machines that make the machines. For any country trying to build a serious manufacturing base, the ability to produce tooling this precise and complex is fundamental. These molds sit at the core of thousands of factories, determining how cheaply, quickly and reliably everything from cars to medical devices can be manufactured at scale.show more

First fully ML-framework-free 3D Gaussian Splatting implementation in LichtFeld... Studio. I’ve completed the migration of the full training pipeline to a custom CUDA-based tensor library. No PyTorch, no LibTorch, no autograd. Every gradient is implemented by hand, either through CUDA kernels or minimal abstractions on top. This makes it the first full training setup for 3D Gaussian Splatting with zero dependencies on existing ML frameworks. It’s not just about independence, it's about control! We now manage every byte of GPU memory, which opens the door to tighter optimization and finer performance tuning. The framework footprint is minimal, without pulling in gigabytes of ML runtime code that was never designed for real-time or graphics-driven applications. A few modules, such as the metrics and 3DGUT interfaces, are still being ported, and some operations are temporarily naïve, so performance is not yet on par with master. But this refactor lays the groundwork for: - A fully self-contained binary - Fine-grained memory optimization - Easier experimentation without the weight of an ML stack We’re getting close.show more

UPDATE FROM THE SAPS: AN ADDITIONAL 340 ILLEGAL MINERS... RESURFACE IN ORKNEY The VALA UMGODI task teams led by the SAPS and SANDF in North West are intensifying their operations and ensuring that illegal mining activities and operations are dealt a blow. From last night, an additional 340 illegal miners have resurfaced have been placed under arrest. As of 12:00 (midday) on Sunday, 03 November 2024, at least 565 illegal miners workers have resurfaced. The Acting National Commissioner of the SAPS, Lieutenant General Shadrack Sibiya has commended the teams on the ground and encouraged them not to back down and ensure that the rule of law is restored. Earlier… 225 ILLEGAL MINERS RESURFACE AS A RESULT OF PRESSURE EXERTED BY VALA UMGODI TEAMS IN NORTH WEST — ALL 225 ARRESTED North West, 02 November 2024; The Acting National Commissioner of the South African Police Service, Lieutenant General Shadrack Sibiya has commended the Vala Umgodi task teams in the North West province for stamping the authority of the state. This is as 225 illegal miners resurfaced from underground in Orkney as a result of starvation and dehydration. These 225 illegal miners are part of others believed to be hundreds if not a thousand illegal miners who are stuck underground with no food, water and necessities because the Vala Umgodi teams led by the SAPS and SANDF are blocking routes used to deliver food and necessities to these illegal miners. Just earlier this week, SAPS and members of the SANDF blocked communities in and around these abandoned mining shifts in Orkney from delivering food parcels, water and necessities to these illegal miners. This act of stamping the authority of the state eventually forced these illegal miners to resurface. This operation is ongoing and the SAPS and the SANDF are still monitoring these old abandoned mine shafts as more and more illegal miners resurface. Lieutenant General Shadrack Sibiya says Operation Vala Umgodi is yielding positive results across the country. “We are closely monitoring the situation that is unfolding in the North West province, we are not backing down until all those illegal miners resurface and are arrested . Since its inception in December 2023 to date, more than 13 691 suspects have been arrested in the seven provinces that are hotspots for illegal mining. We have seized R5million in cash and uncut diamonds worth R32 million through Operation Vala Umgodi”, said Lt Gen Sibiya. The majority of those that have been arrested are inclusive of South Africans, Mozambicans, and Basotho nationals. The SAPS will update on other nationalities as and when more illegal miners resurface.show more

Back then, the question “Is the AI agent working?”... was basically checked in a demo 😅 everything clean, controlled data, ideal conditions… But the real world is a different story: 🔷 traffic increases 🔷 processing load gets congested 🔷 a small break can disrupt the whole chain 🔷 the system loses “consistency” So what looks strong on paper can sometimes fall apart in real conditions. DSeq + Hyperion are stepping in exactly here and this is actually one of the core problems Andromeda is trying to solve. Think of what happens in practice: 🔷 there’s a workflow 🔷 there are agents 🔷 but when load increases, “who did what and when” becomes unclear And that’s where the real issue appears: 🔷 execution breaks 🔷 consensus becomes unstable 🔷 cost/performance balance gets distorted So it’s not really about “building smarter agents”… 🔷 it’s about running the same system 🔷 across thousands of requests 🔷 continuously 🔷 without breaking Think of it like a live broadcast: “Demo looks great… but does the system hold up under real load?” That’s the real question. And the key point is: 🔷 there are many systems that work in simple cases 🔷 but very few that stay stable under heavy load So in your opinion, what will the real competition in AI agents be “intelligence” or “resilience”? 🤔 Metis🌿show more

OK, I have a definitive word on the CJ... Abrams play from today's Pittsburgh Pirates at Washington Nationals game after talking with Elias Sports Bureau on this. This play will stay as a sacrifice fly. The originial ruling of NOT a sacrifice fly was for the exact same reason that I thought, which is that the infielder is not running into the outfield, which is year's past would have been correct As it was explained to me, in past years, an infielder had to be running almost in a straight line towards the outfield wall to be considered "running in the outfield". Here, since he is running, and he ends up further away from home (157 feet) than when he started (145 feet), this is going to count as a sacrifice fly. That definition is changing, in part from this play to help bring greater consistency, and to take some of the guesswork out of it (the argument that he is running into the outfield as opposed to more parallel). Now, folks all the time ask "why doesn't MLB publish the OS Manual" and I always say because it is a living document that can have the wording change, and the wording for this play will be modified to something like "more towards the outfield wall than towards home plate" to eliminate any confusion. The big key to this play is that he was running on a full sprint. Also, and this is helpful for me, but for all fly ball outs that score a run, Elias Saba reviews to ensure consistency. So, yes, it's a sacrifice fly, and now that I have that info from Elias themselves, that sort of settles this one. Sounds like the guidelines for this definition will be changing, either this season, or certainly for next season.show more

This looks like a regular IT server room. But... it is actually the main avionics compartment of an Airbus A350, a rare view into what sits at the very front of the aircraft, directly beneath the cockpit floor. Inside are 22 purpose built computing modules made by Thales, each costing more than $100,000+ They host multiple aircraft systems, processing everything from flight controls and landing gear to hydraulics, fuel, electrical systems and flight warnings. All of them are connected through a dual redundants AFDX network, with 14 switches and 29 remote data concentrators distributed throughout the aircraft. Keeping this computing architecture running requires an estimated 50-60+ kW of electrical power. The electricity keeping all of this computing hardware alive is generated in real time from the aircraft's two engines. Each engine mechanically drives two generators through its accessory gearbox, giving the A350 four generators capable of producing up to 100 kVA each. That electricity then flows through the aircraft's power network, where transformers and rectifiers convert it into the different AC and 28 V DC supplies the avionics need. And if those generators fail, the aircraft has layers of backup power, including the APU and, in an extreme emergency, a ram air turbine that deploys automatically if all systems fail. The A350 has two independent avionics cooling circuits, heat extraction fans and backup airflow paths to keep the computers within their operating limits. So the next time you hear the word autopilot, remember what it really takes to make an Airbus A350 fly itself, An entire architecture of computers, networks, redundant power and cooling, hidden beneath the floor where no passenger ever sees it.

‼️‼️🇷🇺🇺🇦 BREAKING – Reports suggest growing Russian alarm. Military-linked... Telegram channels of the occupiers state that Ukraine is now carrying out near-nightly strikes on Crimea, employing domestically developed Neptune-type cruise missiles along with long-range kamikaze drones. The main targets are Russian air-defense systems, radar installations, and other military infrastructure. According to these accounts, the northwestern part of the peninsula is under sustained and intense pressure from Ukrainian long-range FPV drones and Lancet-style loitering munitions — including a Ukrainian-made version referred to as a BULAVA-type drone. 🔵 Additional claims point to the possibility that Ukraine’s Main Intelligence Directorate (HUR) is preparing limited amphibious or raid-style operations to disrupt Russian logistics and reserves. Some sources further allege that Ukrainian underground networks in Crimea are stepping up their activity, and that Kyiv may soon deploy long-range underwater (submersible) drones.

China's 6th gen J-50 fighter took another test flight.... 6th gen fighters themselves are an order of magnitude more stealthy than 5th gen fighters. On top of that, they are stealthy against every type of radar. 6th gen air combat is built on top of these fighters, which revolves around a network-centric web, including collaborative wingman drones and other platforms. The wingman drones are just as stealthy, and are able to carry missiles data-linked to the manned fighters. So essentially, entire squadrons of 6th gen fighters with several support drones each can fly over enemy air space, unleash precision destruction. And the enemy won't even know what hit them. This is not only a strategic deterrence, but also gives the operator of 6th gen fighters plausible deniability, when conducting clandestine warfare against an enemy state. I won't name any names, but let's just say an ally Southwest of China is under attack by a larger neighbor, the PLA air force can provide air superiority and ground strike supports using 6th gen fighters. That aggressive enemy will only feel the destruction but not know who or what hit them.show more

🚨🇨🇳U.S. IN PANIC: China's J-35 Stealth Fighter Now in... 'Beast Mode' With Increased Firepower China's J-35 fifth-generation stealth fighter has been seen in a new configuration carrying four PL-15 long-range air-to-air missiles on external pylons under its wings. Combined with the six missiles it carries inside its internal weapons bays, the aircraft can now go into combat with up to ten air-to-air missiles in total. 🔸This setup is informally called "beast mode" — a term borrowed from the U.S. military's similar configuration for the F-35. The idea is straightforward: the aircraft trades some of its stealth capability for significantly more firepower. When weapons are carried externally, they increase the aircraft's radar signature, making it more visible to enemy systems. However, the PL-15 missile's long range means the J-35 can potentially engage enemy aircraft from a safe distance before that visibility becomes a serious problem. 🔸The J-35 entered service in 2025 in both Air Force and Navy variants. The naval version is designed to operate from Chinese supercarriers such as the Fujian. Both versions are considered among the most advanced fifth-generation fighters in the world today, alongside the J-20 and the American F-35 — all three of which are regarded as more sophisticated than the older F-22 or Russia's Su-57. 🔸Within China's own air fleet, the J-35 is expected to serve as a lighter and more affordable complement to the larger and more powerful J-20, which carries a bigger radar, heavier weapons load, and longer range. The J-20 is expected to remain the priority for large-scale procurement, while the J-35 fills a broader operational role at lower cost. Do you think the U.S. can really counter it?
