NEW: Scientists have brought back dire wolves using ancient... DNA, with the first born on October 1, 2024, over 10,000 years after their extinction The genome was reconstructed by Colossal from ancient DNA found in fossils The fossils date back 11,500 and 72,000 years Colossal Biosciences said: "This moment marks not only a milestone for us as a company but also a leap forward for science, conservation, and humanity. From the beginning, our goal has been clear: To revolutionize history and be the first company to use CRISPR technology successfully in the de-extinction of previously lost species. By achieving this, we continue to push forward our broader mission on—accepting humanity’s duty to restore Earth to a healthier state."show more

AMAZING CONSERVATION NEWS - Highland tiger kittens born in... the wild! 🐾🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 See the INCREDIBLE moment two litters of critically endangered wildcat kittens are spotted for the first time in Scotland. This is a HUGE milestone for the ambitious Saving Wildcats (#SWAforLIFE) project that we've supported for many years. One wildcat born here at the zoo, called Margaret, was relocated to Scotland to help with these conservation efforts and went on to have several kittens of her own. In total, 19 wildcats were released into Cairngorms National Park last year, and it's incredible to think that Margaret's offspring are part of this reintroduction to help the species fight back from the brink of extinction. #SWAforLIFE #saveourwildcatsshow more

Good morning to everyone in Massachusetts who now sees... that there is hope in our state. The Charlie Kirk Vigil at Boston Common last night brought together so many patriots, united in prayer, strength, and determination for change. Thank you to every single person who showed up. You reminded us that we are not alone. One of the most inspiring parts of the night was hearing from the young speakers who talked about the impact Charlie had on their lives and why they feel called to get involved. Their words were powerful and showed that the next generation is ready to carry this mission forward. But this is just the beginning. We need to take that same energy back to our towns, our schools, and our communities. Get involved, speak up, and be part of the movement for a better Massachusetts. This is exactly what Charlie would have wanted. Not just a moment of mourning, but a spark that ignites real action. Together, we can honor his legacy by standing up for our values and shaping the future of our state.show more

Ola recently announced that they are bringing affordable AI... to Indian developers. 𝐉𝐚𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐬𝐥𝐚𝐛𝐬 an Indian company has been providing affordable GPUs for developers across the globe since 2020. We are a little known, so I want to share our story here. 𝐖𝐡𝐨 𝐰𝐞 𝐚𝐫𝐞 We are bootstrapped, building from the outskirts of Coimbatore. Started as a small team of 4, from humble backgrounds none from IITs/IIMs. Currently, we are a team of 12+. 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐰𝐞 𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐝 The cost of hosting GPU servers 4 years back in India was insanely high. We got 2 quotes which charged us Rs. 1.5L for a single server per month. At that cost, it was not practical for us to do the business. So we went to the first principle to build an MVP for a mini data center/server room. For the first few years, we ran all our servers from a room fitted with ACs, a UPS, and a Generator, which experts claimed would not work. As we scaled, we faced the heat of our setup, but by then we accumulated more money than we had. So last year we moved it to a tier 3+ DC near Bangalore. This helped us boost the confidence of our users, as we have redundancy for power, internet, and networking which gives us and our customers a lot of peaceful nights. 𝐖𝐡𝐨 𝐮𝐬𝐞𝐬 𝐉𝐚𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐬𝐥𝐚𝐛𝐬 Developers and artists from across the world have supported us in our journey. Some prominent companies are ZOHO (My inspiration), Weights and Biases, UNC, UpGrad, and many more. 𝐑𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐮𝐞 We crossed 580K USD in the last financial year, the highest ever in our history. Being bootstrapped, the only way for us to grow is to put all the money back. Our customers are our investors, as a founder I have hardly taken a paycheck for the last 4+ years, since the team also believes in our vision they are happy not taking a fancy cheque. 𝐕𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 As AI evolves, we want to bring the capabilities of AI to users at the lowest prices possible. Being bootstrapped, the only way to survive is to be frugal and disciplined. 𝐇𝐢𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 I am proud of our hiring strategy. We hired only freshers to date, and most of our hires do not have a formal degree. They come from rural areas and economically challenged backgrounds. The average age of our new team is 19. They have played an active role in building our V2 of Jarvislabs and improving the product daily. I love to thank everyone for supporting us in our journey. Thanks to Analytics India Magazine, INDIAai, fastai for recognizing us in our early years. If our story resonates with you, Please share our story to inspire others & support our mission. #StartupIndiashow more

You want to hear something that will break your... worldview? There is a valley of whales in Egypt, in the Sahara Desert, called Wadi Al-Hitan. These whale fossils are not buried deeply underground at all, they sit right on the surface together with other dead marine animals. The mainstream has convinced you that the Sahara was covered by a shallow ocean millions of years ago, and that because the Sahara is all sand today, the wind supposedly blew the sand away and uncovered the whales and the marine life. But there is one problem… the Sahara was not a desert 6,000 years ago, and the soil was not sand. So how can the wind blow sand away for millions of years to reveal fossils, when the Sahara has been sand for only the last 6,000 years? Why were the Sphinx and the pyramids buried in sand, instead of sitting on top of the Sahara if the wind was supposedly uncovering 20-million-year-old fossils? They are lying to you. The sea and the ocean spilled over the Sahara 6,000 years ago during the Solovki Geomagnetic Excursion, and the water erosion on the Sphinx and the pyramids was caused by salt water. All the marine fossils and shells in the Sahara are from 6,000 years ago. You can’t have a buried Sphinx in sand but uncovered marine fossils that are supposedly millions of years old.show more

Today, we’re sharing the history of Foundation Labs, written... from our perspective as founders. What we thought, what we set out to build, and what we learned from six years on the frontier of crypto, culture, commerce, and art. We’re publishing this now while the experience is still fresh. It was important to us that a clear record exists in our own voice, rather than leaving our story to be interpreted by others over time. Our aim is to contribute to the commons. We believe there are many future chapters still to be written with this technology, and we want future founders to be able to reference and build on our experience—to start on second base. We’ll keep this online as a resource for the foreseeable future. To the artists, collectors, investors, and former teammates—thank you for being part of the journey.show more
