FINALLY someone talked about how well engineered ARIRANG is.... Arirang is genuinely one of the best engineered albums we've heard in years like every layer feels intentional. From the vocals, instruments, and production details blend together seamlessly without losing clarity. The sonic quality is just sooo rich and immersive from start to finish, and the way traditional Korean elements are woven into modern production showcases a level of creativity and technical innovation that's really hard to find in today's music. It's the kind of album where you notice something new with every listen.show more

🇰🇷 A 90-year-old Korean grandmother who survived the Japanese... occupation of Korea and was later displaced was shown crying and dancing to “Arirang” during BTS “Body to Body” on #BTSLiveonNetflix. That moment holds a lifetime of history, grief, and memory. For many Korean people, “Arirang” is not just a song. It carries sorrow, longing, resilience, love, survival, and remembrance across generations. To see a Korean elder — someone who lived through occupation, loss, and displacement — moved to tears while dancing to it is profoundly emotional. It shows how deeply “Arirang” lives in the Korean spirit. As Taehyung (video with translations attached) said in his Weverse Live on March 21, “Arirang” lives in Korean blood. For Koreans, both 🇰🇵 North and 🇰🇷 South, whether you laugh, feel sadness, feel sorrow, or feel happiness, there is “Arirang.” Even in BTS: The Return on Netflix, BTS wrestled with how to carry Korean identity, history, and the weight of “Arirang” authentically in the album. Hoseok was one of the members pushing to keep “Arirang” part of “Body to Body.” That is why #BTS_ARIRANG feels so meaningful. It carries memory, truth, and history — with the authenticity Namjoon said it needed to have here.show more

i think it’s been enough time & we can... finally address this particular discourse, and i think there’s a healthy discussion we can have about it. i genuinely think a fully traditional rendition in 2026, by artists operating at a global pop level, would have changed how the project was received internationally. there’s a very real possibility it would’ve been boxed into “world music,” treated more like cultural exhibition than a modern musical statement, keeping in mind that Arirang Album is not for 'aesthetics' nor is it a history lesson. using 808s, trap production, pop structures, and english hooks while still centering Arirang was actually a significant artistic choice. historically, Arirang was the song of ordinary people. in today’s world, pop culture/pop music is the common language. using contemporary pop to carry that sentiment to millions of listeners across countries feels very aligned with the spirit of what Arirang represented in its own time. and ‘unapologetically korean’ does not have to mean “only in korean” or “frozen in tradition.” it can also mean Korean artists having full control over how their culture is presented, modernized, exported, and understood. i also think if they had leaned entirely into historical styling and traditional presentation, western media may have reduced it to a “cultural curiosity” instead of engaging with it as a current, competitive pop release. critics likely would’ve framed it as heritage performance before artistry. i am glad they chose this route for the album.show more

Here is a drill to help you learn what... it feels like to use the ground and start to sequence effectively. Notice how the club is setup in the video between my feet. Get to your back swing and jump favoring your lead foot left and laterally like I am. With that feeling step in and hit one. Not where you are pushing off from when you swing and try and get that into a feeling that makes sense to you. This is how power is created in the golf swing. This is also where physical limitations can show up.show more

You can now post-train a model inside your existing... production harness with our platform, AC2. A production harness is a whole engineered system around the LLM, with its own context management, tools, sandboxing, and control flows. Porting that into a new training runtime can be expensive and could introduce train-test mismatch, where the policy is optimized against a simulated harness and then struggles in production. All you need to do is swap out the harness’ LLM response endpoint to one provided by AC2, and expose a lightweight protocol for AC2 to initiate and grade rollouts; the trainer handles the rest.show more

you need to tattoo this Boris Cherny quote into... your brain: "coding is the easy part, it's knowing the domain that's the hard part" every week a new startup drops a launch video saying they "killed influencer marketing" or something but they don't get it. creating the thing is NOT the hard part it's understanding what thing you have to create, at what moment, and in what way and that takes years of pattern recognition from actually being in the arena and seeing what works AI can't shortcut that for youshow more

A good measure of how experienced someone is with... an AR platform is how much they use their safety (every time) and if they work pieces of cover or stand out in the open in the middle of a funnel. If you listen, you can hear the click of the safety every time from our shooter.show more

Generative 3d environments just became a thing with the... announcement of OpenAI's new video model, Sora. Michael Rublof from took one of those videos, and turned it into a NeRF using Colmap and Nerfstudio. While people are laughing at the topology of generated models, the world is changing around us, and that's exciting and a little scary, but we'll find a way to turn Gen Ai into creative superpowers. I believe in human creativity, in our ability to surprise, to move, to change and to challenge. Here's to the future! #ai #artshow more

The fun part of experimenting with brushes is that... you have to figure out how the ink behaves first. How it spreads. How it flows. Only after that do you start thinking about texture. And honestly both parts are hard in their own way. What I tried today was adding something like a magnetic force into the ink. So while drawing, these unexpected textures start to show up.Most of the strength and density come from layering 2D Perlin noise. It’s actually really fun to play with. A lot of time goes into things no one ever notices. That’s just life :)show more

Did you even listen to the members during Arirang... Notes and other interviews? Do you really think you know better than them? This isn’t about choosing Come Over over Into the Sun or the other way around. Both deserve to be heard properly. We wanted Come Over to be included in the album as well, not just as a hidden track—we genuinely find it moving and truly a masterpiece. But that doesn’t mean another track should be pushed down or replaced. It’s about giving space to both songs without removing anything at all.show more

This is the $30M Rolls Royce Droptail, the world's... most expensive Rolls-Royce. Owned by HRH Crown Prince of Johor, this coachbuilt masterpiece is more than just a car, it's a symbol of ultimate exclusivity, craftsmanship, and status. The Droptail represents the absolute pinnacle of what Rolls-Royce can create and this particular example holds even more significance as the final Droptail ever built, 4 of 4. Every detail is meticulously engineered and tailored to its owner. The open-top roadster design draws inspiration from luxury yachts, while the interior showcases hand-finished materials, intricate woodwork, and a removable timepiece integrated into the dashboard, merging the worlds of high watchmaking and automotive design. Unlike any production Rolls Royce, the Droptail is completely bespoke, built around the vision and lifestyle of its owner. It's not something you can simply order It's something reserved for a select few with access, influence, and legacy.show more

This scene from Quentin Tarantino’s masterpiece “Inglourious Basterds” is... a perfect example of cinematic tension and a masterclass in dialogue. The moment Lieutenant Archie Hicox (Michael Fassbender) gives himself away by using the wrong hand gesture for “three glasses” is one of the most iconic reveals in modern film history. It’s a small detail, but in the world of espionage, it’s everything. It’s a subtle clue that unravels an entire operation and leads to one of the most explosive and unforgettable showdowns ever filmed. This isn’t just a movie scene; it’s a lesson in screenwriting and acting, where every word, every gesture, and every pause is loaded with meaning. It’s the kind of filmmaking that makes you lean forward in your seat, your heart pounding, even on the tenth rewatch. Tarantino’s ability to build suspense in a single, confined space is unparalleled, and this tavern scene is arguably the best of its kind. What’s your favorite moment from this legendary film?show more

Sitting here watching my Cybertruck charge with the mountains... of Utah in the background, it hit me again… I really believe this is the most beautiful Tesla ever made. Every angle is different. It looks futuristic without trying too hard, and it fits just as well in the middle of a city as it does surrounded by nature like this. What makes this truck special is so much more than just the stainless steel or design. For me it’s how capable and practical it is. Long road trips, hauling gear, camping, tough weather, and FSD… it feels like THE one vehicle built to do almost everything. I’ve owned and driven many Teslas over the years, and every one has been amazing in their own unique way, but the Cybertruck is the first one that genuinely makes me stop and look back every time I park it. Driving across the U.S. in this beast has only reinforced that feeling. And to me, the Cybertruck is the best vehicle Tesla has ever built.show more
