Have been using this delightful ring for contactless payments... for over a week now, instead of a card. An easy, effective way to pay, and a cool piece of tech! Vijay Khubchandani (V2K) Sevenshow more

I just had to have a big release cry... after all of this drama, because I feel so deeply for Megan and let me tell you why. On a human to human level and I’m going to put this video here to set the tone for y’all to understand this (and feel free to use this post to release as well)show more

I started going to university for an economics degree... in 2018 and quit after a few months because the Marxist undertones and lack of individuality made it AGONIZING. Instead I wrote an independent thesis titled “A Deconstruction of Postmodern Socialism and its motives” when I was 17 based on what I had learned from classical liberalism and libertarianism. None of this education was available in university.show more

Elon Musk has repeatedly highlighted the hand (and forearm)... as one of the toughest engineering challenges for Tesla’s Optimus Robot. A new Patent (for presumably Optimus 3) shows Tesla is using human anatomy to recreate a tendon-driven robotic hand and forearm assembly that closely mimics a human system. Basically, Tesla is replacing human muscles with actuators and tendons with cables to replicate human dexterity. The Tesla Engineering team is on another level. Optimus Gen 3 reveal is going to be incredible.show more

Aaj Tak is using AI to generate visuals of... the crash, and shockingly, they've even created an animated video of Vijay Rupani, who died in the crash. No empathy, no dignity. Just a race for TRP, even if it means turning real human tragedy into digital drama.show more

This might’ve been my favorite Rashod Bateman catch of... the season. Clutch moment—had to have it. He shows off elite body control, adjusts mid-air, and attacks the ball. Big-time grab that set the tone for his year. Rashod Batemanshow more

You can now direct AI movies like a real... filmmaker. Higgsfield Cinema Studio 2.0 gives you full control over characters, camera lenses, and pacing instead of just random clips. This changes everything for digital storytellers. Full breakdown 🧵show more

A flexible composite airfoil is an advanced wing design... that can physically change its shape depending on the aircraft's angle of attack-the angle between the wing and the oncoming air. Unlike traditional rigid wings, these airfoils are built using lightweight composite materials that can bend and adapt in real time. As the angle of attack increases, the wing subtly reshapes itself to maintain smoother airflow, improve lift, and reduce drag. This concept is inspired by nature-similar to how birds adjust their wings during flight for maximum efficiency and control.show more

#Pakistan🇵🇰: The International Human Rights Foundation (IHRF) condemns the... weaponization of Pakistan’s judiciary to criminalize dissent and suppress freedom of speech. The recent arrest and sentencing of prominent human rights advocates couple Imaan Zahir Mazari Imaan Zainab Mazari-Hazir and Hadi Ali Chatta — who have courageously represented oppressed communities, including activists from Balochistan — exemplify this alarming trend. Their case is not an isolated incident but a deliberate strategy of using legal mechanisms to silence critical voices. Pakistan is increasingly demonstrating the hallmarks of an authoritarian regime, where human rights are selectively applied and fundamental freedoms are systematically dismantled. The military establishment and its political proxies are shamelessly consolidating power through tactics reminiscent of a fascist playbook, transforming the state into an instrument of repression. IHRF calls for the immediate and unconditional release of Mazari and Chatta, and urges the international community to hold Pakistani authorities accountable for these blatant violations of human rights and judicial independence.show more

Big moment for text-to-speech. Qwen just open-sourced a text-to-speech... model that lets you clone voices, design new ones, and control speech using natural language. Let me explain what I mean: You can literally tell it "speak in a cheerful tone with slight nervousness," and it actually does that. No complex audio engineering needed. What makes this special: - 3-second voice cloning - Covers 10 languages: English, German, French, and more - Latency as low as 97ms for real-time applications - Supports both streaming and non-streaming generation The model comes in two sizes (0.6B and 1.7B parameters), so you can pick based on your hardware and quality needs. Three modes to work with: 1. Custom Voice: Use pre-built premium voices with instruction-based style control 2. Voice Design: Describe the voice you want in plain English (or Chinese), and the model creates it 3. Voice Clone: Provide a 3-second reference audio and clone that voice The best part? It integrates with vLLM for production deployment and has a simple Python package you can pip install. I've shared a link to the GitHub repo in the next tweet.show more

Modern robotic wrist joints often use timing belt differentials... to achieve smooth, multi-axis movement within compact spaces. By distributing motion through synchronized belt systems, a single actuator can control multiple rotational outputs with high precision. This design reduces weight, minimizes backlash, and allows for more efficient force transmission compared to traditional gear-based systems. It is widely used in robotic arms where accuracy, responsiveness, and compactness are critical. The result is more natural, fluid motion-bringing robotic systems closer to human-like dexterity in industrial and automation applications.show more
