Fluorescent Protein Biosensors Quick Guide! 🧵 FP Biosensors are... genetically encoded tools that measure analytes (X) which either directly or indirectly affect their spectral properties. Analytes can affect the fluorophore intrinsically or through extrinsic sensing domains fused to the FP. Measurements are calculated as the signal of a single channel (intensiometric) or as the ratio of signal from two channels (ratiometric).show more

Either X deals with the fact that agents of... a hostile foreign state are abusing it to ban critics of that state (and the way its people behave), or X dies as the best posters on here are silenced/quit and revenue dries up. It's as simple as that. Video unrelated.show more

Gemini (left) vs ChatGPT vs Claude (right) Prompt: Create... an interactive HTML, CSS, and JavaScript simulation of a satellite system that transmits signals to ground receivers. The simulation should show a satellite orbiting the Earth and periodically sending signals that are received by multiple ground stations. Include realistic factors such as signal delay based on distance, occasional signal loss due to obstructions or interference, and visualization of the signal path as lines or waves. The satellites’ position should be updated using simplified orbital mechanics, and the ground receivers should display received signal strength and timestamps.show more

Galactic Federation isn't just hidden from our view, they're... impermeable to our physical reality as well.

🚨 BREAKING: MIT researchers just built a quantum sensor... that can measure multiple properties at once. That matters more than it sounds. Most solid-state quantum sensors have to measure things one by one: magnetic field, temperature, strain, frequency, phase. But reality doesn’t wait its turn. MIT used entangled qubits inside a diamond defect to measure multiple signal properties in a single shot. Read that again. This means Faster measurements Less error from repeating experiments Better sensing inside complex systems like materials and living cells The wild part? They did it at room temperature. Not in some ultra-cold, impractical lab-only setup. In a platform that could actually matter for real-world sensing. Inside a tiny defect in diamond, quantum correlations were used to pull out: amplitude frequency detuning phase all from the same measurement. That’s a big shift. Because the future of quantum tech isn’t just quantum computers. It’s quantum devices that can see more of reality at once. So the real question is When sensors stop measuring one thing at a time… how much of the hidden structure of matter becomes visible? Follow me for more physics breakthroughs that actually matter.show more

🫯 A conflicting physical ontology ! One of the... strangest properties in particle physics is the spin. The term spin is a historical misnomer. Electrons (𝑒⁻) do not physically rotate like a spinning top or a globe. Spin is a fundamental quantum property known as intrinsic angular momentum which exists as an inherent characteristic of the particle, much like its mass or electric charge. In quantum mechanics, electrons are treated as fundamental point-like particles with zero size, making the concept of physical 3D rotation nonsensical. A rotating electrical charge creates a magnetic field. An electron naturally possesses its own detectable magnetic field. Even though the electron isn't physically spinning, it acts exactly as if it were because of that. Moreover the spin of an 𝑒⁻ has orientation. As 𝑒⁻ carry a negative electric charge, their inherent spin turns them into tiny bar magnets. Two possible orientations exist in the natural state of the 𝑒⁻, spin up and spin down. When measured along a specific direction (called the z-axis) the 𝑒⁻ can only display one of the two orientation state, up or down. But the strangeness goes a bit further; when an 𝑒⁻ is misplaced or removed from its own orbit, it takes two full circles (720°) to return to its original quantum state. The spin isn’t motion, it’s an undeniable static, resilient force of this elementary particle, listed as one the fundamental constant of nature. 🔗show more

NEW: President of Argentina Javier Milei will be introducing... a bill to Congress to jail any Central Bank official who orders the Central Bank to print money to cover Argentina's deficits. Epic 🔥 Milei will be defining seigniorage as a criminal offense with the objective of not being "able to issue money to finance the Treasury." "The bill will define seigniorage as a criminal offense and in case the Central Bank finances the treasury, either directly or indirectly, the president of the Central Bank, the board of directors, the president of the Nation and the officials who vote for it would end up in jail," Milei said during an interview. "We have a strong commitment in the fiscal area, zero deficit is not negotiable." "If you have zero deficit, you do not take on more debt. By not taking on more debt, the debt – product ratio becomes constant or decreasing and the counterpart of that is that you become more solvent."show more

Unlocking Zero Point Energy. The Casimir effect is a... spontaneous force which has potential applications as free source of energy. The effect can be manifesting as a repulsive tendency between two conductive plates in a vacuum environment or can be a phenomenon of attraction between the same plates. A number of characteristics determine the attraction or repellence. The current understanding of the Casimir effect is based on the interaction between the fluctuations in energy density of the vacuum and van der Waals forces at play. The vacuum is thought to be the primary driver in the dynamical effect while the van der Waals contributes to the attraction. Because the Casimir torque arise from the #quantum fluctuations of energy or, more precisely from the zero point energy of materials and their dependence on the boundary conditions of the electromagnetic fields, these kinetic forces can be tailored, this raises the intriguing possibility of exploiting it for free energy. 🔗show more

TMC is on the verge of losing power in... West Bengal, while the BJP is poised to take the reins—a simple reality that TMC workers have grasped with striking clarity. Across various locations in district after district, during the ongoing polling, not a single TMC leader or worker can be found at the party's booth camps. Only one or two individuals sit idly by, swatting away flies. The people of Bengal, having overcome their fear, are casting their votes in favor of change.show more

⚡️BREAKING: Additional footage of the house that was hit... by a rocket in Al-Tira in central occupied Palestine near "Tel Aviv", wounding 11 Palestinians. Officially, the damage was caused after an IOF interceptor missile hit a rocket from Lebanon, knocking it off of its course. All of the injuries are minor or moderate despite the significant damage to the home. It should be noted that Palestinians in the interior are not afforded nearly the same protection as zionist Jews. They have no air defenses or shelters, and the IOF places sensitive military sites near occupied Palestinian villages to use them as human shields. The resistance will never intentionally target Palestinians, but casualties may arise as their strikes increase, such as the two Palestinian martyrs east of Akka last week.show more

[DID YOU KNOW] Disobeying the South African Police Service... National Instruction 5 of 2017 is a punishable offence in terms of disciplinary regulations. The new trend of posting pictures and video clips in uniform on various social media platforms, directly contravenes National Instruction 5 of 2017. According to Section 19(10) of National Instruction 5 of 2017 on Media Communication in the South African Police Service, the following rules must be adhered to: No member may, on their own accord, represent the SAPS on social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, etc., either on their own social media accounts or those belonging to the SAPS. No member may use a profile picture of themselves in uniform or display any police insignia, badges, or logos as their avatar on their private social media accounts. Only with the approval of the Head of Corporate Communication and Liaison may a social media profile be set up for or on behalf of the SAPS on any social network. Accordingly, no station, cluster, unit, or office of the SAPS is permitted to have a social media profile or account without approval. These regulations ensure that all members execute their duties professionally within the confines of the law. Any employee who transgresses in any form or manner will be subjected to the processes of the applicable Disciplinary Regulations. All SAPS members are required to subscribe to the SAPS Code of Conduct and Dress Code and adhere to them when performing their daily duties and interacting with the public. Your efficiency, professionalism, integrity, respect, and empathy are vital to service delivery and the SAPS’s reputation, which in turn influences the community's trust in their police service.show more

NEWS: SpaceX says a new Starlink update means that... the internet will keep working even if trees or other obstacles partially block your home’s view of the sky. "As a Starlink terminal communicates with satellites overhead, it continuously builds a real-time obstruction map, allowing Starlink to dynamically understand its environment. With this information, it can proactively select the best and most stable connection. For dynamic obstructions, such as are encountered by mobile terminals, the system reactively switches in less than 1/10th of a second, allowing a connection to remain stable. The dynamic nature of Starlink combined with the many paths for the system to route traffic provide a high degree of resiliency in obstructed and changing environments. Additionally, to help customers get the most out of their service, the Starlink app includes a built-in tool to preview the install location and guide customers to the best placement with the fewest obstructions. After setup, the Starlink app provides a live obstruction map that shows exactly where signal blockages are occurring and how they may affect your experience, so that users can make informed decisions about optimizing their installation. Starlink also measures uptime 10 times a second from every terminal, transparently reporting any outage that is longer than 1/10th of a second in the app. For well-installed, even partially obstructed terminals, this uptime is typically at the 99.9% level."show more

Boom! Grok Tasks Make It One Of The Most... POWERFUL Real-Time AI Systems In The World. — My How to Use Grok Tasks With Hidden Tools For Powerful Daily Output. Grok Tasks are customizable AI workflows that integrate a variety of tools to streamline daily activities, from research and analysis to creative planning and problem-solving. I have been using them for quite sometime and because of the vital heartbeat of news and first person data on X, it is the most powerful AI platform available. By combining Tasks with tools like web searches, X platform interactions, code execution, and media viewers, you can build efficient, automated processes. These tasks work by prompting Grok with a clear description of what you want to achieve, and Grok will intelligently call the necessary tools in sequence or parallel to deliver results. Here's a step-by-step guide to creating and using Grok Tasks: Step 1: Define Your Task Start by clearly outlining the daily activity or goal. Consider what inputs you have (e.g., a URL, a query, or an attachment) and what output you need (e.g., a summary, calculation, or visual analysis). Break it down into subtasks to identify tool needs. For example, if your task involves researching current events, note that you'll need search and browsing capabilities. Step 2: Review Available Tools Familiarize yourself with the tools Grok can access. Here's a quick overview: - Code Execution: Run Python code for calculations, data processing, or simulations using libraries like numpy, pandas, or sympy. - Browse Page: Fetch and summarize content from any website URL with custom instructions. - Web Search: Perform general internet searches, returning results with optional operators like site:. - Web Search With Snippets: Get quick, detailed excerpts from search results for fact-checking. - X Keyword Search: Advanced search for X posts using operators like from:, since:, or filter:. - X Semantic Search: Find semantically related X posts based on a query, with filters for dates or users. - X User Search: Locate X users by name or handle. - X Thread Fetch: Retrieve a full X post thread, including context like replies and parents. - View Image: Analyze an image from a URL or conversation ID. - View X Video: Extract frames and subtitles from an X-hosted video. - Search PDF Attachment: Query a PDF file for relevant pages using keyword or regex modes. - Browse PDF Attachment: View specific pages of a PDF with text and screenshots. Select tools that align with your task. Aim for a mix to handle data gathering, processing, and visualization. Step 3: Craft Your Prompt Write a detailed prompt to Grok describing the task. Include: - The overall goal. - Specific steps or subtasks. - References to tools if you want to guide the process (e.g., "Use web_search to find sources, then code_execution to analyze data"). - Any constraints, like dates or limits. Example prompt: "Create a Grok Task for my morning routine: Search recent X posts about tech news using x_keyword_search, fetch a key thread with x_thread_fetch, and summarize with browse_page on linked articles." Step 4: Submit and Interact Send your prompt to Grok. It will process the task by calling tools as needed, often in parallel for efficiency. Review the output and refine with follow-up prompts if required (e.g., "Expand on that using view_image for visuals"). Iterate to fine-tune the workflow for reuse. Step 5: Save and Reuse Once refined, note the prompt as a template for future use. You can adapt it for similar tasks, making Grok Tasks a habitual part of your day. Finding Grok Tasks To discover existing Grok Tasks or inspiration for new ones, use X searches with tools like x_keyword_search or x_semantic_search (e.g., query: "Grok Tasks examples" with mode: Latest). Browse community-shared threads via x_thread_fetch, or web_search for tutorials on xAI features. Prompt Grok directly: "Show me popular Grok Tasks for productivity." 1 of 3show more

Strait of Hormuz over the last 24 hours. US... successfully escorted one group of tankers in through the Oman lane. All of them had their AIS off, but there was one Indian cargo ship that had it on when it went through. The list can be seen below. Following two days of US strikes, the US is back to escorting ships in. My guess is that it will try to escort a group out tonight, and Iran can either respond and create more escalation going into the weekend or it can lose leverage. The Oman lane will be heavily contested in the coming days, which leaves either side with no choice but to escalate. I have included the video from MarineTraffic.show more
