Sometimes we can just train and sometimes we can just post videos of training without the chatGPT “one exercise to solve all your problems” narrative.show more

LEONARDO, also called LEO, was built by researchers at... Caltech’s Center for Autonomous Systems and Technologies. Its full name means LEgs ONboARD drOne. The idea is simple but unusual: • Build a small biped robot • Give it drone-style thrust • Use the legs for ground contact • Use the propellers for balance and lift • Combine walking, hopping and flying in one system LEO is basically a hybrid between a walking robot and a flying drone. How it was built: • Two lightweight legs • Three actuated joints in each leg • Four propeller thrusters near the shoulders • A lightweight body • Leg motors for ground movement • Propellers for balance, lift and aerial control • Real-time control software that synchronizes the legs and propellers How it walks: • The legs move the robot forward • The feet touch the ground like a normal biped • The propellers constantly correct balance from above • The robot can stay upright even in unstable situations • The thrust reduces the risk of falling during difficult motions How it flies: • The legs stop being the main locomotion system • The four propellers generate lift • The robot behaves more like a drone • It can take off, fly over obstacles and land back on its legs What makes it different: • It does not walk like a normal humanoid • It does not fly like a normal drone • It blends both systems • The legs handle contact with the ground • The propellers act like fast stabilizers • The control system decides how much help comes from the legs and how much comes from thrust That is why LEO can: • Walk • Hop • Fly over obstacles • Ride a skateboard • Balance on a slackline The key idea is walking with aerial stabilization.show more

When an Israeli Air Force F-15 landed safely with... only one wing In 1983, during an Israeli Air Force training exercise, an F-15D "Baz" collided with an A-4 Skyhawk and completely lost its right wing; under normal circumstances the aircraft should have crashed instantly, but pilot Zivi Nedivi managed to keep it airborne by using the engines' tremendous thrust with full afterburner and balancing the pitch and roll through differential engine power. He kept the F-15 stable for about 10 miles on a single wing and then landed at nearly 500 knots, raising the nose to compensate for the missing lift. The incident became known in aviation history as the "one-wing landing miracle," showcasing both the F-15's extraordinary design strength and the pilot's remarkable skill.show more

Jumps should be a key element in any 50+... training regimen. Why? We lose power, balance, and quickness (and bone density) far faster than strength alone as we age. By 50, you’ve already lost a lot if you haven’t been training it. These jumps also help build bone density—1 in 3 women, and 1 in 5 men have osteoporosis. Many, many people need to be doing jumping variations. Try adding some complexity by slightly altering the jump's direction. I’m jumping forward and slightly to the right on the first one. These little changes challenge our neuromuscular system. I released a long post yesterday about neuromuscular training, which included ~8 videos of other exercises using my Enough, Better, and Optimal framework. Link to the article below.show more

It’s difficult to put a finger on exactly when... a nation falls. It is hard to know the very moment, but you can feel it in your bones when the president gleefully admits that his election was purchased with money from another country. He does this knowing that moves like this will usher in untold Republican loss in 2026 and 2028. And yet, he still does it. We’ve moved from nuance to bragging about the theft of American tax dollars and delivery over to another people in another place. It is not done to uphold US interests, but is a tithe to unbelievers who hold inexplicable power and authority over our government. And since it is done despite its devastating impacts on the upcoming elections, one must imagine it’s done under some sort of fear or duress. What other explanation could there be? It is one thing to know what goes on behind the scenes, and quite another for the president to admit it. This admission signifies the full transition from a strong lobby to absolute power, with the full sanction of the president and the full weight of government to enforce speech codes and stand up 100 task forces. This is to Republicans as BLM was to Democrats; this is them on one knee ushering in a time when you too will be expected to kneel.show more

Then the map of power changes: the "Mihail Kogelnicanu"... base in Romania, one of the main strongholds of NATO in the region, comes within the range of Russian systems like "Iskander". And that changes everything. But the reality is that for now there is no quick way to Odessa. The Black Sea Fleet cannot carry out a large landing, and advancing by land complicates the terrain and the enemy's resistance. The key for Odessa is not in negotiations, but in a complete change of the situation on the ground. Or everything - or nothing. In any scenario, one thing is clear – if Russia gives up Odessa now, it will become hostage to the next crisis. And then the stake would be even higher, and the price – even higher. The question is not only whether it is worth fighting for Odessa. The question is: what is lost if one does not fight?show more

Every movement starts somewhere. Ours didn’t start with hype.... It started with a mirror. The Birth of The Mirror Hub The Mirror Hub was not born from hype or shortcuts. It was born from conviction. In early 2025, Mrs Evelyn Ayawari Damilola Spare stood at the center of an idea one that believed African youths deserved more than surface-level Web3 exposure. They deserved depth, structure, ownership, and a future-proof path. By her side was her husband, co-founder, strategist, and builder providing strength, balance, and execution power. Together, they laid the foundation of what would become The Mirror Hub. The vision was simple but bold: To reflect Web3 education, innovation, and opportunity back to the next generation clearly, truthfully, and powerfully. From that vision, a small team formed. Then the team grew. By mid-2025, The Mirror Hub had evolved into a core team of 15 committed individuals, cutting across: Community Building Education & Training Marketing & Growth Content Creation Development Research Consultation Program Management Different backgrounds. Different strengths. One mission.show more

In simple terms: The best hitters create power and... adjustability by using their trunk (rib cage and torso) efficiently. When the shoulders stay back a little longer, hitters gain two huge advantages: 👉They don't commit too early, which gives them more time to recognize and adjust to pitches. 👉They can create a bigger burst of speed when it's time to swing. Think of it like a rubber band. The longer you can keep tension without forcing it, the more powerful the release. For that to happen, the upper body and lower body can't move as one rigid piece. The pelvis starts and slows down at different times than the rib cage. That separation is what creates both power and adjustability. ❌Hitters who move everything together usually have to commit earlier and have fewer options when the pitch isn't what they expected. Power and adjustability aren't opposites—they come from the same ability to sequence the body correctly. Use this simple drill connecting a pvc pipe or long tube to the chest and practice your best range of motion every day before you hit.show more

Here is a drill to help you learn what... it feels like to use the ground and start to sequence effectively. Notice how the club is setup in the video between my feet. Get to your back swing and jump favoring your lead foot left and laterally like I am. With that feeling step in and hit one. Not where you are pushing off from when you swing and try and get that into a feeling that makes sense to you. This is how power is created in the golf swing. This is also where physical limitations can show up.show more

Injective's native USDC integration through Circle is architecturally different... from every other chain's approach. $USDC on Injective is natively issued with a burn-and-mint model - no intermediary custody or wrapped asset risk. But what makes this unique is how it plugs into Injective’s innovative MultiVM Token Standard (MTS). MTS supercharges every token on Injective with the ability to work across both WASM and EVM with a single source of truth. Under the hood, a precompile connects ERC-20 contracts directly to the native bank module, so a Solidity dApp and a Wasm dApp see the same USDC balance with zero bridging needed. One stablecoin, one balance, every VM. The future starts here.show more

👀Connecting your coaching eye to your clinical reasoning! Observe... the leg cycle of the leg closest to the camera on each drill. Can you see small medium then big elliptical on the right limb and very limited ones on the left? What does limb movement and synergies say about muscle properties and pelvic structure ? Does “technique” matter? Well only if you want to load specific tissues and create protective system tension. We had a really interesting 10.6 sprinter with repeated right side hamstring strains over the past year join our hamstring workshop. UPMC Sports Surgery Clinic 💪🏾Isokinetic tests have him really really strong on both limbs. 🔋Emg told a story of right side dominance and good lateral to medial hamstring balance whilst the left side was far more imbalanced with medial hamstrings dominating action that we assumed the lateral would. 🧐When we went on to the track, we saw similar things. 🚩Notably a reluctance to open up into late swing phase, avoiding long lever eccentric stress on the distal hamstrings…. ON THE LEFT LEG! Well this was noticed across a range of exercises velocities and complexities. 🏃🏾‍♀️ Drills with speed and locomotion, static fast drills as well as static slow drills. 🧐Movement illuminates structural qualities. 🧐Can you spot the difference in these two leg cycles? Could it be that the right side is repeatedly hurt due to the deficit in the left side. After all, if you can’t integrate late swing phase, then you will have poor negative foot speed. You will be able to accelerate…. But all the work will be on the right side the deeper you get into a sprint. Ed Mias Sportsmithshow more

Is strength important for speed development? Here’s my take... ⤵️⤵️ For context — this is me cleaning 295 lbs at 167 lbs body weight and I credit my abilities in the weight room largely for helping my collegiate career flourish the way it did However… We can’t lift at the expense of speed training and development What that means is when we enter the weight room we can’t do so with blinders on acting as if the only thing in the world that matters is that weight training session or improving your 1RM YES… you need force to move your body through space YES… that force needs to be high relative to your body weight BUT… you must be a skilled mover to apply said force in the right positions, at the right times, with the right vectors for it to mean anything While important to holistic athletic development, we’ve got to stop acting like strength is the ultimate differentiator in speed Lot of “weak” athletes will blow your doors off in sprints Lot of “strong” athletes get folded in speed & power sports Go into the weight room with the idea that you’re complementing your speed and athletic development… not superseding it If your legs are so beaten and broken down from lifting heavy you can’t train for 2-3 days without excessive risk, you’re doing it all wrong. Just some perspective from someone who once pursued 1RMs to no end while my track times stagnated… and then was enlightened by world class coaches who lifted within the context of my sport to take me from a college tryout to D1 All American What’re your thoughts? Let’s discuss in the comments!show more

sorry, they just did WHAT someone gave a machine... one disease name, the leading cause of blindness in the developed world with 1.5 million americans already in its path, and it came back pointing at a drug that has sat in pharmacies for years under a different label: 551 papers read in 30 minutes against the 294 hours a human would have needed, and the loop that did it is public on GitHub most agent setups answer one question at a time, so the ceiling on the work is the quality of the question you happened to think of this one was handed a single question and wrote the second one itself. turns out that follow-up is where the real find was: a target called ABCA1, upregulated threefold, in an experiment no human ordered i read the whole paper looking for the trick, and the trick is structural. that is the second question, and it is the gap between an assistant and a factory: - hand the loop a field rather than a task: it was given a disease, and choosing the mechanism was part of its job - make it rank before it spends: 151 papers in, ten candidate mechanisms out, scored against each other before anything touched a bench - split reading from judging, so the agent that forms the theory is a different agent from the one grading it - close every cycle on physical reality: the verdict was an experiment, and another model's opinion was never allowed to stand in for one - feed each result back as the next question rather than a log line, which is the step almost nobody builds - search what already passed inspection first: the winner was an approved compound with a safety file already on record - write down what the round learned before opening the next one, so round two starts where round one stopped my read, and i think it is the uncomfortable one: reading was the entire bottleneck in that field, and everybody spent the decade optimising the writing. people ran every physical experiment here, the analysis agent needs a domain expert writing its prompts, and the authors decline to call this the leap it resembles. the thinking got replaced, and the hands did not so the question i cannot answer for my own setup: which step of your loop still stops dead until you sit down and type something bookmark this one. the four parts that turn one model into a line that runs like this, the queue, the rooms, the write permissions and the gate, are built file by file in the piece below ↓show more

AI has had exactly two scaling axes that worked... so far, and the second one is starting to look finite too the first one was pretraining: with scaling parameters and data, we got world knowledge (i.e. ChatGPT had read enough to know things), but it started saturating a while ago the second one was RL, and people had been doing RL the whole time before that: RLHF is RL but it never scaled far because it was trying to control the exact output, which tokens come out, how the text reads, but you can only push that so far before you’re just polishing RLVR dropped that constraint: giving the model a task, then checking whether the final answer is right, and ignoring everything in between -- so the model does whatever it wants in the middle and only the endpoint gets graded, and that’s much closer to actual RL and it’s what bought us planning and reasoning (arguably, tool use sits around 2.5 on this list -- while useful, it's not a different kind of thing) so one axis gave knowledge, the other gave reasoning, and both of them are one model working alone the next axis is how many models you can get working on the same problem, which is a different kind of axis than the previous two we know that multi-agent RL has always been the harder problem: I spent years in that literature and the gap between single-agent and multi-agent is definitely not incremental -- it’s a whole different class of difficulty! which is also why the derivatives are steep at the start, nobody has picked the easy wins yet... and the thing that gates this multi-agent coordination is communication: models can only coordinate as well as they can exchange information, and right now they do that by writing sentences to each other imagine what could we possibly achieve if we properly open that third axis development by letting models to exchange information in their native "language" without loosing any computational data that they produce during inferenceshow more

BEIJING JUST BECAME THE MOST DANGEROUS ROOM ON EARTH.... HERE'S WHAT COMES NEXT, STEP BY STEP: Xi just hosted Trump. Then, before the ceremonial trappings were even cleared, Putin walked through the same door. That sequence is not coincidence. It's a message. Here's what comes next, step by step: 🔴 Step 1 — Xi positions China as the indispensable power Trump came first. Putin came second. Beijing received both. That's not diplomacy. That's leverage. Xi is telling Washington and Moscow simultaneously: you need me more than you need each other. 🔴 Step 2 — Putin and Xi sign 40+ documents on energy, trade, and security China is already Russia's largest oil and gas buyer — Europe's pipeline imports collapsed to their lowest levels since the mid-1970s after sanctions. These deals deepen that dependence and lock in the economic architecture of the anti-Western bloc. 🔴 Step 3 — They publish the multipolar declaration The joint statement on "establishing a multipolar world" and a "new type of international relations" is the diplomatic language for one thing: the formal announcement that the U.S.-led order is being replaced. In writing. Signed by both. 🔴 Step 4 — Trump's Beijing visit produces nothing to counter it No major breakthrough on trade. No agreement on Iran. No movement on Ukraine. Trump left with photo ops. Xi immediately invited the man fighting the war Trump couldn't stop. 🔴 Step 5 — The 25-year treaty anniversary becomes a relaunch moment Putin's visit also marks the 25th anniversary of the 2001 Treaty of Good-Neighborliness. They're not just renewing it. They're upgrading it — with energy corridors, military coordination, and a shared ideological framework for the next 25 years. 🔴 Step 6 — Washington's traditional alliance architecture cracks further The back-to-back visits signal that Beijing no longer needs to choose sides. It hosts both. It extracts from both. And it shapes the outcome of both conflicts — Ukraine and Iran — without firing a single shot. 🔴 Step 7 — The real question is what Xi told each of them about the other Xi reportedly told Trump that Putin might regret invading Ukraine. Days later, he welcomed Putin with 40 documents and a joint declaration. One of those statements was for the cameras. The question is which one. The question is not whether this shifts the balance of power. The question is how fast. Are you positioned for what comes next? Follow and turn notifications on.show more

China Eastern flight, Lanzhou to Guiyang this morning. Plane... had already landed and was taxiing when someone in front starts screaming “Fire!” and running. People look up... overhead bin is on fire.. Crew and passengers trying to deal with it, then the fire trucks show up on the ramp. We keep seeing this exact scene. Power banks and lithium batteries in the overhead bins. They get crushed, shorted, or just decide to go thermal runaway. Happened on Air China last year too, and plenty of other flights. That’s why the rules exist: keep the power bank under the seat or in the seat pocket, switched off, and only bring the ones that meet the airline limits. I’ve been on the ramp long enough to know how fast cabin smoke can turn into a real problem. Glad this one happened after landing and not at altitude, but “lucky” shouldn’t be the strategy. Be careful with these things, guys. Or leave the big power banks at home if you’re not sure.show more

Dear Nigerians, "Patriotism means to stand by the country.... It does not mean to stand by the president." ~Theodore Roosevelt On this national scale, if the mass number of Nigerians are suffering, their lives and properties in jeopardy, it is okay to speak up, call a spade a spade and stop this gov from leading us astray. Now more than ever, we must unite. We must unite against the ruiners of Nigeria before they bury what is left of her. Organization is the first primary weapon of the oppressed. This is the only weapon we are yet to explore, and we can not explore this until we unite. The oppressed Nigerians must organize to form a force against the ruiners of Nigeria and take back our country to have a system that is for the benefit of the Nigerian people and not a few in the position of power. President will come and go, only the people will remain. Don't give those in power today to play politics with your future. Let's unite, not necessary as one but as a team. A team with different skills, languages culture, religion and tradition, but one CAUSE regardless of our tribal differences to stand against the common enemy who have now shown to be a curse on our very own existence as an amazing people of this great nation. ~OIA✊🏿show more
