This is that first launch from Tennessee. “Success teaches... us nothing; only failure teaches.” -Admiral Hyman G. Rickover There have been 197 successful Trident II launches since.show more

The Warp Ring is an item in Sonic Racing:... CrossWorlds that can only be acquired via a gadget that gives it to the player. This item has been banned online since launch. Due to it's scarcity, it's likely this post is many peoples' first time seeing it in action.show more

So what minji said is proven, we may only... know the problem started since the end of April 2024, this started long before that... Minji: Actually, beyond this, There have been many frightening & uncomfortable experiences, that are beyond my understanding of common sense. These events have made us seriously question, whether HYBE truly values NewJeans. There's also clear evidence.show more

India has carried out the successful launch of Intermediate... Range Agni-Prime Missile from a Rail based Mobile launcher system. This next generation missile is designed to cover a range up to 2000 km and is equipped with various advanced features. The first-of-its-kind launch carried out from specially designed Rail based Mobile Launcher, has the capability to move on Rail network without any pre-conditions that allows User to have a cross country mobility and launch within a short reaction time with reduced visibility. Congratulations to DRDO, Strategic Forces Command (SFC) and the Armed Forces on successful test of Intermediate Range Agni-Prime missile.

Today, Iranian media have reported that Iran has shot... down a US F-35 aircraft. The US hasn't confirmed this. OSINT experts have noted that US rescue groups have been flying over several regions of Iran. These groups are used to rescue crew of downed aircraft. Experts have analyzed the image of the seat that was online and believe it is from an F-15, not an F-35. There are unconfirmed reports that one of the crew members was found and rescued; the search for the second pilot continues. There have been reports that he may have been taken captive by Iranian forces.show more

Hello! I logged in for the first time in... a long time today, and the reason is that since last year, there have been a lot of AI-generated pictures based on my drawings on Reddit and many other sites, so I'm here to announce this...show more

🚨 Exclusively male migrants launch boat from Dunkirk This... comes as 900 entered the UK over the weekend, illegal and unvetted. France is working to ruin us, as multiple boats have been sighted in the Channel this morning. Our own Border Force is ruining us too with their devastating open border policy. This is nothing short of an invasion and a national emergency, and yet our political class, let alone the French, keep refusing to act!show more

The home I was living in was destroyed. The... only place that I had a shred of safety was destroyed. This is my brothers’ home. Hussam, Bassam, Mohammed, and my uncle lived here. I was staying with them to have internet and so that I would not have to be alone. Everything is gone now. I have nothing to go back to. I’m homeless. This hell, the worst I’ve been through since this genocide, will never end.show more

Strait of Hormuz over the last 24 hours: calm... before the storm. Following yesterday's escort, there was nothing today. Traffic visibly dropped. The US gave Iran 24 hours to make a public statement about how the Strait of Hormuz is open, and there will be no further attacks on commercial vessels. But as you have all seen from my daily updates, the Oman lane was always going to be contested, so this is not new. The fact that the US issued another ultimatum just means escalation is inevitable. This comes after President Trump said that the ceasefire is no longer in place. Regardless, inbound tankers have been nonexistent for the last 5 days. This will force Gulf producers to shut-in production again. This is an all-or-nothing conflict. Let's see how this weekend unfolds. I have included the video from MarineTraffic and my table for inbound tankers below.show more

I’ve been kinda quiet because I’ve been cooking up... something special for NASA’s upcoming Artemis II. Today I’m finally announcing Launch Party — a cinematic livestream built to restore rocket launches to their rightful place as pop culture events. Produced with founding sponsors Lockheed Martin, Firefly Aerospace, Courtyard by Marriott Titusville, Playalinda Brewing Company, and Core Surf. We’ll be broadcasting live from The Space Bar — a rooftop venue overlooking the launch pad — for Artemis II, humanity’s first crewed voyage to the Moon in more than half a century. This is live launch coverage reimagined: No anchor desk. No scripts. No acronym soup. Because space doesn’t need to be explained. It needs to be EXPERIENCED Press Release → Lockheed Martin Space Firefly Aerospaceshow more

🚨🪖🇺🇸 Why US pilot's rescue op far from 'success'... The Pentagon has a long habit of "disguising and hiding the fact that they have been losing significant numbers to injury or even death of personnel," and it can't be ruled out that losses are written off as contractors, Stockholm University professor Isa Blumi told Sputnik Saturday's operation can be characterized as a "success" only insofar as its coverage by the corporate media - "owned by the same people pushing for war on Iran" - diverted attention from other crises, including the war's impact on ordinary Americans, Blumi explained "If there is any success, it is the success of getting people to talk about things other than what is actually happening on the ground," the academic added, noting that based on accounts of US troops with access to information blacked out by the media, the war "is not turning out well" for the coalition Footage from social mediashow more

Zelensky keeps claiming that Ukrainians are experts at intercepting... Russian drones, but I’ve been scrolling through Ukrainian Telegram channels and all I see are videos of Russian drones successfully hitting their targets. Maybe he meant “intercepting” them with Ukrainian infrastructure 🤔 Anyway, this video is from Dnepropetrovsk. There have also been many successful hits on infrastructure in the Sumy, Odessa, Kiev, and Kharkov regions.show more

How is nobody talking about this INSANE Chainlink ETF... stat?! The two spot Chainlink ETFs in the US, from Grayscale and Bitwise, have still not seen a single day of net inflows. It has now been nearly six months since the products first launched... The ETFs have an AUM of nearly $115 million and control some 1.66% of $LINK's current supply.show more

CRAM system at the Qasrak base in northern syria... has been activated to intercept incoming drones launched by the PMF in Iraq. This is interesting: US forces abandoned the base in February 2026 - then they redeployed there in March 2026; the redeployment however was surrounded by a lot of rumours and speculation. The CRAM systems activation is the first real confirmation that US forces have been redeployed there in large numbers; large enough to warrant the deployment of a CRAM system.show more

“If you look at the two national guard troops... that were shot this past Wednesday in Washington DC in the line of duty and your first response is that they shouldn’t have been there anyway, you’re the problem.” Yet again, the Democrats keep showing us who they are and what they believe in. And they make me sick.show more

🌿 It turns out plants have been talking to... each other for roughly 400 million years, and nobody thought to mention it to us. Here is what happens. A caterpillar lands on a leaf and starts eating. The plant, which has no brain, no mouth, and no real options, does the only thing available to it: releases a cocktail of chemicals into the air. A signal. An alarm. A tiny molecular cry of distress drifting across the garden. The plant next door picks it up. And this is the part that stops you mid-biscuit. That neighboring plant, which has been attacked by nothing, threatened by nothing, bothered by absolutely nothing this Saturday afternoon, quietly begins producing toxins. Just in case. Because the neighbor said so. No language. No sound. No evolutionary reason to trust anyone. And yet there it is. A conversation so old it was already ancient when the dinosaurs showed up and ruined everything. We built cities. We invented Wi-Fi. We wrote symphonies. The begonias have been doing this since before we had thumbs. Gandalv / Gandalvshow more

Sikhs have been visiting Shri Hemkunt Sahib, Uttarakhand, since... 1884 when the site was first mapped as the Tap Asthan of Guru Gobind Singh Ji. To this day, there have never been any issues between Sikh pilgrims and locals. In fact, on the contrary, locals have welcomed that as their own. However, what we are witnessing today is a deliberate attempt to create anti-Sikh narratives in a BJP-ruled state. Rogue entities are being mobilised from Punjab towards Uttarakhand to deliberately create law and order conditions that Uttarakhand authorities are forced to act upon.show more

This figure from HIL-SERL is one of the clearest... visualisations of how RL learns differently from imitation learning. The difference comes down to this: imitation learning treats each (state, action) pair as independent. A correction at timestep 20 teaches nothing about timestep 19 or 21. RL propagates reward backward through time. One successful insertion updates the value estimate of every state along the trajectory. So RL builds a full map of "which states lead to success"; imitation learning just memorizes individual snapshots. Setup: a robot inserting a RAM stick into a motherboard slot. Each dot is an end-effector position (Y = lateral, Z = height). Starting position is randomized. Left to right = training progressing. Top row (RL): the policy builds a funnel. Broad at the top, narrowing into the target. It systematically fills in the state space, learning which paths lead to success from many different starting positions. Bottom row (imitation learning / HG-DAgger, same human data): sparse, diffuse, no funnel. The policy only learns near states the human demonstrated. Both have access to the same data, including human corrections, but a completely different structure emerges.show more

🚨JUST IN: POLKADOT ETF INFLOWS HAVE RETURNED! 21Shares operates... the only spot Polkadot ETF in the US, flying under the $TDOT ticker. According to data from SoSoValue, that spot $DOT ETF say inflows of $785,000 on April 10 which, though small, represent the first day of inflows the product has seen since March 12, nearly a month ago. Does this have something to do with $DOT's recent tokenomic changes...?show more
