Iowa farmers are having a tough time keeping ahead... of the weeds between the rain and the wind. This field (seed corn history) is waiting for dry enough conditions to spray. Some of these waterhemp are not terribly tall but have upward of 150 leaves and significant branching.show more

POV: Dudes finally deciding Low Vis Armor + Chest... Rigs wasn't just a GWOT vibe. - New video on YouTube going over the merits of this system and why it's becoming our favorite method of building "loadouts" for quickly gearing up with various weapons platforms. - #dirtycivilianshow more

High reps don't build muscle better than low reps.... They just make you tired faster, which feels like you worked harder, which your brain interprets as "this must be working." Meanwhile low rep training: - Generates more mechanical tension - Causes less systemic fatigue - Allows better recovery between sessions - Permits progressive overload more reliably But it doesn't make you feel destroyed. So we assume it's insufficient and add 12 more sets of cable work to "finish the muscle."show more

Self-Toss Short Hop Drill One of the best ways... to develop game-ready hands in a small space. Work ground balls at you, declared backhands, and glove-side picks with both 1-hop and 2-hop variations. Keys: 1. Start low, stay low, move low. 2. Be on time to the short hop. 3. Let your feet create the hop you want. If you’re late, you’ll get an in-between hop. Really late? A big hop. Neither is the goal. Elite defenders hunt the short hop. Simple setup. Tons of reps. Big-time transfer to the game.show more

Another 360 degrees Light novel book that can turn... Pages in #Live2D ! It's the usual cube deformer I make, but it's top-down and theres a hella lot of glue in between. I also spent quite some time designing a face Light novel cover for it :D #Live2DWIPshow more

To finish the series: - Deterministic chain-seeded genetic computation.... We ran a chain-seeded genetic optimiser for 32 generations and proved every single step in zero-knowledge, then folded all 32 proofs into one. The whole lineage verifies on Kaspa in a single transaction, post-quantum. You can open the tx and check it yourself. What it is: a tiny program, an evolutionary search over a 16-value genome , that mutates and selects for a lower-cost circuit design, seeded by the Kaspa chain. Over 32 generations it drove its target circuit's scored constraint count down (best target ~72 → ~50; trending down, though it's a sawtooth it rotates through three circuit types). The part that matters: every one of those 32 steps ran inside a zero-knowledge VM and was proven correct a step that didn't compute correctly simply won't verify. Then all 32 step-proofs were folded into ONE. That proof is 222 KB exactly the size of a single step, and it stays that size no matter how many generations you add. (The catch, stated plainly: folding more generations costs the prover more time; only the final proof size is constant.) Kaspa verified the entire 32-generation lineage in one transaction: 7504fa32f74aa028301290299276a707cf98ffc2766b1be0daed4c5c41883f15. Flip a single byte of the proof and the network rejects it, we tried; it's rejected. And the verification path is post-quantum: hash-based the whole way (FRI/Poseidon2 + SHA-256), no elliptic curves or pairings anywhere nothing Shor's algorithm targets.* What this is and isn't: It's a feasibility experiment on testnet. It's deterministic, chain-seeded genetic computation not AI, not intelligence. We drive each step and proved a fixed lineage we chose; it does not yet run itself on-chain (that's the next build). The core, though, is real and checkable: a program's entire computational lineage 32 generations proven correct, post-quantum, verified by Kaspa in a single shot. *STARK security rests on hash assumptions plus the Fiat-Shamir heuristic, not on any pre-quantum hardness.show more

Ever heard of a Variable Stator Vane systems in... Jet Engines ? It's one of the least visible mechanisms inside a modern jet engine, yet one of the reasons engines like the Pratt & Whitney engines achieve 15-20% lower fuel burn than previous generations. A hydraulically actuated ring rotates entire rows of compressor vanes by tiny fractions of a degree, continuously reshaping airflow to prevent compressor stall as the engine transitions from idle to full thrust. The complete modern variable stator vane control system is estimated to cost on the order of $200,000-$450,000 per engine. Without this hidden mechanism, modern high-pressure compressors operating above 40:1 pressure ratios simply wouldn't remain stable. Video :- Aircraft Technicalshow more

It's beautiful to hear Kim Taehyung's ability to transition... between low, medium, and high registers, alternating between different tones, vocal techniques, and dynamics, delivering all of this on stage with grace and technical control, expressiveness, interpretation, and style. Taehyung, who possesses the widest vocal range and tessitura in BTS, goes from a C3 (dense edge register/chest voice, in “Love me Again”) to an E5 (flageolet register/thin edge, in “My Universe”), without tension or excessive vocal effort. His voice exhibits the strength and range of both vocal categories (baritone ↔ tenor). Technically, what allows Taehyung to explore these vocal possibilities is his vocal range and tessitura. He is what we call a “BARITENOR”. A baritenor is a type of male voice that combines characteristics of a baritone and a tenor, possessing a vocal tessitura that transitions between the low register of a baritone and the high register of a tenor, but with a generally darker, fuller, and richer timbre than that of a typical tenor. #KimTaehyung #V #Taehyungshow more

oh my heartttt 🥹 #beckysangels : what would you... say to someone who's currently stuck in between something right now? becbec: i would say it's okay. i think that's just a part of life. it's a step of slowly growing one step at a time. go through it. go with whatever you feel like is the best option. it may not be the best option, but it's okay. and just enjoy every single moment because i feel like every moment passes by quickly.show more

Tom Lee thinks 2027 could deliver "the biggest stock... market gains in our lifetime." Not a vibe. He walked me through the actual mechanism: Right now the market punishes every company spending on AI — the capex shows up as cost, not return. His call is that this flips. "2027 is my best guess is the year. Corporate profit margins dramatically expand because of AI." He uses his own firm as the proof: "we use a lot of AI and bots, and we're growing without having to hire people." When your highest cost is people, and your revenue still climbs, that's margin expansion. Then the second leg: "AI, if it's productive, is disinflationary." Falling costs mean central banks can ease. Dovish policy plus real profit growth is how you get higher earnings and higher multiples at the same time. That's his call, not mine — but I like that it's mechanical, not hopeful. Right now the market is pricing AI as an expense. He's arguing 2027 is when it shows up as profit.show more

Big news. South Korean government has unveiled the 'Laser... based Anti-Aircraft Weapon Block-I' for the first time, and it's awesome footage. it's about to deploy it to the Army very soon. It's a 20kW class fiber laser system with a proper size and cost that can be placed easily. Korea's high-ranking research centers are now developing ultra high-power femto laser plasma technology for laser weapons systems. Block-III is also being developed, which is also applicable to military ships as naval versions and plans to have anti-ballistic missile capabilities. This will ensure Korea's low altitude defense along with the '40mm Automated Air Defense System', LAMD-I, LAMD-II, and CIWS-II.show more
