found this DIY ESP32 object scanner online and it... looks like pure magic. the creator claims this simple copper wire loop can instantly count the exact number of matchsticks inside a closed box, and even 4,000 individual grains of salt. physically, a capacitive or inductive sensor can only measure total mass or dielectric changes. it cannot count thousands of tiny non-metallic crystals. are there any hardware engineers here? someone explain to me how he actually pulled off this trick.show more

forget the $699 AI pins. this $8 chip just... shattered the barrier for local AI hardware. a developer just forced a 28.9 million-parameter LLM onto a standard ESP32-S3 microcontroller. it costs roughly 8 dollars, runs completely offline, and draws the power of a single LED. conventional wisdom said a model of this size simply would not fit. the chip only has 512 KB of fast SRAM and 16 MB of flash. the breakthrough is architectural. the developer moved the bulk of the embedding table into flash memory and memory-mapped it. the chip only needs to pull about 450 bytes per token, keeping the active working memory inside the fast SRAM. this means you can now embed a capable language model into a physical node for the price of two coffees. and we are already seeing the beginnings of this custom physical hardware. in the video, a creator built a minimalist voice-controlled universal remote using an ESP32. it captures voice and remotely controls the computer over bluetooth LE. he simply says "open chrome and open 20 new tabs", and the custom hardware executes it instantly. we have spent years watching model sizes explode upward. but the true frontier is the opposite direction. when an eight-dollar chip can power offline intelligence and custom physical interfaces, AI becomes local infrastructure rather than a cloud service.show more

HTML Artifacts are a big part of how I... work with agents now. Artifacts can be more than just static files. When combined with agents, they can take action or help you take action. This unlocks all kinds of interesting ways to work with agents. This is clearly the future. Check out this writing and scheduler artifact I built in a few minutes. It uses a bit of HTML and JS. All the data is in markdown (Obsidian vaults), so the agent can access and modify it at any time. No DB needed. No sophisticated functionalities. The agent decides all that for me based on the skills, context, and memory it has access to. The best part about this simple stack is that all the important information stays with me. This has allowed me to build a recursive self-improving system and automations that can better tap into coding agents like Codex or Claude Code. I could have paid or built an entire app for scheduling posts, and there are so many of them out there. But I don't need to. I've realized a simple artifact does the job. And the simplicity of it is actually an advantage. Very little maintenance for very high returns on personalization, time, and efficiency. The other benefit of this is that I can add features as I please. That level of personalization feels magical, and we should all be pursuing more of it. All of this just keeps compounding. Of course, this example is just about writing. But I have similar artifacts for research, design, experimentation, evaluation, and so much more. And no, I didn't actually publish the post example I shared in the clip. It was just for demonstration purposes. I actually spend more time than this when writing together with agents. Lastly, having built my own agent orchestrator tool has made me realize that simplifying the tool stack is a superpower. If you are curious about how all this works, I will do a live session next week:show more

🚨 SCIENTISTS JUST INVENTED A WAY TO PRINT CIRCUIT... BOARDS WITH LIQUID METAL AND IT LOOKS LIKE SOMETHING OUT OF TERMINATOR. A startup called Itera has developed a system that can create working PCB prototypes in minutes instead of weeks. You upload your design, and electric fields force a liquid metal alloy into the exact shape of the traces on a glass substrate. The board is then tested and ready almost instantly. Why this matters: • Traditional PCB prototyping can take days or even weeks this could reduce it to minutes • It uses liquid metal instead of etched copper, making it potentially much faster and more flexible for rapid iteration • Backed by $12 million in funding, the company is already focusing on single-layer boards with surface-mount components • The process looks genuinely futuristic glowing rivers of metal flowing into place on command The deeper implication is enormous: We may be watching the beginning of a completely new era of hardware development. Instead of waiting days for a prototype, engineers and makers could design, test, and iterate multiple versions in a single afternoon. This could dramatically speed up innovation in electronics, robotics, AI hardware, and even consumer devices. What happens when making a new circuit board becomes as fast and easy as printing a document? Follow for more frontier physics and future technology.show more

RULE #6 OF THE PRIMAL DIET Do not eat... rock salt. Salt is a rock, and our body cannot process rocks. It has a toxic effect, different from the sodium found as a nutrient in plant or animal foods. Water dissolves rocks, and plants eat rocks, then animals eat plants, and we eat the plants or animals. This for us is food, the minerals are made into nutrients, becoming bio-available. Rock salt is very different from the sodium found in food. According to Aajonus, rock salt is an explosive: "I just want to make sure that you understand salt is dangerous. Salt is an explosive. It is more volatile than nitroglycerin. If you had a pure cake of sodium as big as a football it would take out all of New York City. Just like a 200 ton hydrogen bomb could take out New York City and all of its buildings. So [...] the government, the military gave General Electric 2 billion dollars to make a weapon, out of salt. My father worked on the project for 6 years. It was so untenable they could not make it into a bomb, thank God. Because one and a half degree temperature change a completely isolated sodium could set it off. So they could never temper it, never break it down and ulitize it." — Aajonus Rock salt is a mineral formed from sodium chloride (NaCl). When eating rock salt, during digestion, the sodium is separated from the chloride, so the sodium ion becomes isolated. Isolated sodium is more volatile than nitroglycerin, this is when it becomes an explosive. So during digestion and after, this isolated sodium creates micro-explosions in the blood, destroying other nutrients and killing cells. Aajonus describes in detail what is happening on a cellular level: "When the cell eats normally, there’s a whole network – smorgasbord of nutrients – anywhere from 97 to 117 nutrients…all your vitamins…all your minerals, fats …all the 60 varieties of cholesterol that can be formed …all the different proteins – pyruvates – all 22 amino acids. Everything is in this smorgasbord. When a cell eats, it gets the whole dose and it’s completely nutrified. When salt is eaten, it causes explosions of these nutrients so you may only get 27 or 57 of these nutrients into a cell at once. So every cell becomes deficient any time you use salt with a meal. Not only that, it dehydrates cells." Additionally, when the isolated sodium doesn't explode right away, it can draw other isolated sodium ions to itself, creating sodium clusters, and the magnetism of them can rip off the guts of cells. This makes using rock salt the second worst thing next to cooking in standard diet practices. "One million red blood cells are destroyed by one little grain of salt.", claims Aajonus. Of course, this is not noticeable right away, but long term, it creates significant damage. When part of raw foods, even during digestion, sodium is always bound to other nutrients, they are always connected on a chemical level, it doesn't get isolated and therefore doesn't have this damaging effect. This is why it is key to get sodium from food only. The body detoxifies the unusable, isolated, form of sodium by sweating it out when possible (the body is throwing it off, don't put it back in). Salt also ends up getting stored like most toxins that the body cannot process because they are in excess, which can lead to headaches when it finally gets detoxified. People who have been eating raw and salt-free for many years will often have an immediate reaction when eating salt: Aajonus explains that is what a healthy body does, it has the resources to immediately repeal a toxin instead of "giving up" and storing it somewhere in its tissues, getting more damaged from it. Rock salt also starts tasting too strong, which people report when eating salted cheese after having only eaten raw unsalted cheese for a while. What about salt licks? First of all, herbivores do this, not carnivores. What about sodium needs, and salt cravings? Needs are not the same with raw and cooked foods, but in either case, you get enough sodium from eating raw foods, there is plenty in raw milk, raw celery juice, raw tomatoes, and raw oysters. At least one or two of these foods can easily be added daily to anyone's diet. "Celery contains lots of sodium. The blood is very high like the ocean in sodium, Celery meets that almost perfectly without causing the clumping of the sodium molecules that rock salt does. Salt will destroy red blood cells very quickly, numbs nerves, burns them, ages prematurely inside even without noticing it, until it hits all of a sudden." — Aajonus Note: This is about eating salt. When used in bath, salt doesn't penetrate through the skin, and draws toxins out. It can still be drying and people without moisturized skin could get skin irritation from it.show more

As a gynecologist, one of the most frequently asked... questions is about the ''hymen''. The hymen is not a structure located deep inside the vagina. It is a thin, flexible fold of tissue situated very close to the vaginal opening, anatomically at the entrance of the vaginal canal. It is typically found about 1–2 cm inside the vaginal opening, but in many women, it is almost at the surface. Therefore, the common belief that it is located deep inside is incorrect. One of the most important points is this: The hymen is not a closed membrane. It naturally has openings that allow menstrual blood to pass. Additionally, the structure of the hymen varies from person to person. Its thickness, elasticity, and shape are not standard. In some women, it may be very thin and elastic, while in others, it may be minimal or barely noticeable. This is completely a normal anatomical variation. A common misconception is that changes in the hymen occur only due to sexual intercourse. In reality, factors such as certain physical activities or tampon use can also lead to stretching or changes in this tissue. Therefore, the hymen is not a reliable indicator of a person’s sexual history or “virginity.” In summary, the hymen is a small and variable anatomical structure. The meanings attributed to it are largely shaped by sociocultural beliefs rather than medical facts.show more

In a lab in central Pennsylvania, a tiny fly... is suspended in a magnetic field inside a dome lined with rotating LED bulbs. The insect flaps its wings and spins, believing it’s actually buzzing through this virtual reality environment—one that can even distort what the fly sees. The contraption may seem like the work of mad scientists—and indeed, it wouldn’t be out of place among other recent setups that let fruit flies ride on a carousel or spun locusts in a centrifuge. But like those experiments, this tiny virtual reality flight simulator has a deeper purpose. Here, researchers are probing the inner workings of the insect brain.

Not a change, but I've had a TON of... folks asking if this is getting changed from June 10. This is a ball hit by Mookie Betts of the Los Angeles Dodgers and it was ruled an error on Jake Mangum of the Pittsburgh Pirates. The only thing I can think of is that Mookie didn't appeal, because this is a base hit, it's always been a base hit, and it will continue to be a base hit. Except on this one play. There is no way a sliding attempt like this is an error. I know Mangum broke the wrong way, but that doesn't factor it ... it's the catch, the physical catch, and there is ZERO CHANCE this is ordinary effort. I know we talk changes here, but this non-change is the most confounding one for me since Aaron Judge's first career walk-off hit, which was the most obvious fielder's choice of all time, but because it was the last play of the season, it didn't get appealed or changed.show more

🚨 SCIENTISTS JUST DETECTED QUANTUM ENTANGLEMENT IN A CENTIMETER-SIZED... PIECE OF METAL SOMETHING ONCE THOUGHT IMPOSSIBLE AT THIS SCALE. Researchers at the Vienna University of Technology have found clear evidence of high-degree quantum entanglement among particles inside a macroscopic crystal of a “strange metal” made of cerium, palladium, and silicon. This is one of the first times multipartite entanglement has been convincingly demonstrated in a solid object large enough to hold in your hand. Strange metals are already bizarre their electrons don’t behave like normal individual particles. Now it appears large numbers of them can act as a single, highly entangled quantum system even at everyday scales. Why this matters: • Quantum entanglement has almost always been limited to tiny numbers of particles in carefully isolated lab conditions • This experiment shows entanglement can persist collectively across a visible, macroscopic object • It was measured using neutron scattering, which revealed the material responding as one entangled system rather than many independent particles • This bridges the gap between microscopic quantum effects and real-world materials The deeper implication: For decades, physicists have wondered whether the strange, collective behavior seen in certain quantum materials could be explained by underlying entanglement. This result strongly suggests the answer is yes even at scales we can see and touch. It doesn’t mean your coffee mug is in a quantum superposition, but it does show that quantum correlations can dominate the physics of certain solids in ways we’re only beginning to understand. This kind of macroscopic quantum behavior could eventually help us design new materials with exotic properties, or give us new tools to study fundamental questions about quantum mechanics itself. How do you think discovering entanglement at this scale changes our understanding of where the quantum world ends and the classical world begins?

Georgia has fallen. I just went to a mall... that I grew up going to. It was completely overrun by blacks and Mexicans. Why are the men of Georgia and the U.S. overall not standing up this this racial and cultural replacement? It makes me see red. The politicians don’t care, they have money to make for themselves so they can live in their gated communities away from all of the racial sludge. The only thing that can save this country is mass deportation of MOST minorities (citizen or not). I certainly will work behind the scenes to save this country and the west in general because it is absolutely INFURIATING to look around and see only people who don’t look like me and my family, just absorbing the glory of my ancestors.show more

I saw this video of Tyler the creator and... I was like oh he has to be Hope motivation based on what he’s saying!

🤩 I just learned a super cool trick! Do... you know how sometimes you want to record while you scroll on a website, like for a demo or something... But by using the mouse to scroll it turns out to be kinda janky and it doesn't look very good? No? Just me? 🤭 Well, I found out that if you paste this code in the console of your browser: ` setInterval(() => window.scrollBy(0, 4), 16); ` You can make the browser automatically scroll for you! And it looks super cool in the recording! 😎show more

this quant made $1,293,914 trading Bitcoin up-or-down using a... system reverse-engineered from Jane Street's own playbook remember my last post on the Jane Street quant whose code makes the fund $75,000 a minute? this guy rebuilt that logic for himself his profile: here's the part most people miss: he's not guessing the next candle the system runs Bitcoin forward through thousands of scenarios at once and only fires when the math says the trade has an edge the exact same principle Jane Street runs at scale: tiny edge, repeated thousands of times, until it becomes profit that's the whole game on wall street. he just pointed it at a market anyone can access the catch: right now it's mostly individual wallets running this. the funds haven't moved in yet that window is what makes it work. once the crowd catches up, the edge thins out you can build your own from the lecture. or skip the homework and mirror his entries here:show more

I need your help. 🙏 I just came across... this attachment… And I can’t stop thinking about it. I’ve literally got goosebumps. This could be a serious game changer for the farm. Does anyone know where I can buy one? Or better still… Do you know a local fabricator who can recreate something like this? If you know someone who builds or sells agricultural equipment like this… Please tag them below. This is one piece of equipment I genuinely want to get my hands on. Seeing it alone is making me happy in ways I cannot even describe 😭show more

I showed this video to a few friends before... telling them it was AI. Every single one believed it was a real creator. They thought someone had picked up a camera, filmed the shots, recorded the voiceover, and edited everything together. None of that happened. The person isn't real. The voice isn't real. The video wasn't filmed. The entire thing was created using Arcads AI. What's fascinating isn't just how realistic the face looks—it's the tiny details. The natural expressions, the eye contact, the pacing, the body language, and the way everything comes together to feel like authentic UGC. We're moving into a world where creating high-quality content no longer requires a camera, actors, or a production team. If you have an idea, AI can turn it into a video in minutes. This technology is improving incredibly fast, and the gap between AI-generated content and traditional creator content is getting smaller with every update. If you're a founder, marketer, or creator, it's worth paying attention. Comment "Send" and I'll share the exact workflow I used to create this video.show more

Do you know why you cannot fool God? Because... He looks into your heart! You can fool everyone around you, but the emotions you feel inside weigh on your heart and soul if they are connected to the seven deadly sins, such as greed, ego, lust, and so on. You feel that anger inside you, along with a heaviness in your heart and abdomen. It pulls you downward. That is hell. However, if you feel genuine love and forgiveness, your heart and abdomen feel light. You feel as though you are levitating because there is no anger within you. You can fool people or priests into believing that you do not feel anger, jealousy, lust, or other sinful emotions and that you feel love, but you cannot fool God. This sounds simple and easy, but it is extremely difficult to achieve. This is the purification of the soul. To achieve it, you must forgive even your greatest enemies, just as Jesus did on the cross.show more
