⚠️ THIS PROTOTYPE WAS NEVER SUPPOSED TO LEAK, HERE’S... WHY ▹ The body shape here isn’t random, long limbs and a low center of mass give better stability on uneven ground than any humanoid build. Engineers trade looks for physics when a platform is still at the test-floor stage, not the stage demo stage. ▹ Exposed wiring and unfinished paneling is the normal state of any prototype, not a sign something’s broken. Companies hide footage like this precisely because a half-assembled creature look spooks investors more than any actual technical issue. ▹ When the working version looks like something out of a horror film instead of a promo reel, it means the team is still solving movement problems, not marketing problems. That’s a normal stage, nobody’s just ready to show it to a wide audience yet.show more

Meanwhile God of War on a last gen system... had more effort put into the Fast Travel rooms(not even an actual stage) than the whole entirety of the effort put into Metroid Prime 4 when it comes to graphics. Just because it's not a Stage Doesn't mean it has to look like Dogshit. 🤡🫵show more

This is what half the country sees when they... look at Mamdani. Not a “progressive.” Not a “fresh face.” A man who soft-pedals the enemies of this country standing over the names of Americans who burned alive on 9/11. Never Forget was supposed to mean something. Not photo-ops for people who treat America’s dead like a backdrop. You don’t get to lay flowers on the graves of the people your ideology cheers against… and call it healing. Get him away from that wall. Ground Zero is sacred ground. Not a stage for America-haters.show more

Abhijeet Dipke is such a liar and a fraud.... This morning, when the police took Sonam Wangchuk away, he was shouting into the mic, saying, "From now on, this stage will remain empty until Sonam returns to this very stage." Now, he's the one going to sleep on that same stage tonight. It seems he's not used to sleeping on the ground, so he's arranged a mattress on the stage for himself. Just like Kejriwal, this man changes his stand every single day.show more

Unacceptable behaviour at a convocation in Jaipur Students created... scene after not everyone was called on stage for degrees. Later, when Deputy CM personally ensured all students were invite to receive degrees, Still, look at arrogance of this girl Sheer disrespect for the stage and the ceremony. No respect for a democratic office like the Dy CM’s chair. What direction is Gen Z heading towards?show more

The E46 M3 GTR exists because BMW Motorsport needed... an engine that did not exist. The P60B40 V8 was developed specifically to homologate the car for racing, and it never appeared in any other BMW road model. It was compact, lightweight and built for sustained high-rpm use rather than everyday refinement. This engine was not a variant of something else. It was a purpose-built solution to a single problem, to BEAT PORSCHE. That is why it disappeared once the problem disappeared. The GTR did not create a new direction for BMW. It marked a moment when the brand allowed motorsport to override normal product logic completely.show more

🚨Don’t stop talking about Iran. New footage just came... out from Kermanshah showing what really happened on January 8. You can hear it clearly. Non stop gunfire. It does not pause. It does not slow down. It sounds like a battlefield because it was a battlefield. The regime was at war with its own people. Forces of the Islamic Republic were firing relentlessly into the streets. Not warning shots. Not crowd control. Just constant shooting at civilians. And here is what the world needs to understand. In just two days the Islamic Republic slaughtered more than forty thousand Iranians. Forty thousand human beings in forty eight hours. This is not unrest. This is not clashes. This is mass killing. If you are outside Iran and still think this is just politics, wake up. A regime that opens fire like this and massacres tens of thousands in two days is not a normal government. It is a killing machine. Do not look away. Silence is exactly what they want.show more

When you make a wormhole, you're not accelerating the... object, you're manipulating the medium. That's why it looks like the object simply slips out of spacetime. The wormhole works just like in a wave pool with an implosive singularity at the center. This plane is being sent backwards perpendicular to the axis of the orbs rotation.show more

🇷🇺🇨🇳🇵🇸 A lot of people are upset that China... and Russia didn’t veto yesterday’s UN Security Council resolution. But that reaction is emotional, not strategic. Here’s the reality. Because the Palestinian Authority supported the resolution, Beijing and Moscow were not going to veto something the recognized Palestinian government itself endorsed. That’s the entire principle of multipolarity: respecting sovereignty, even when you disagree with the decision being made. And that’s exactly what China and Russia did. They honored the position of the Palestinian Authority, and they still made their objections clear by speaking out forcefully and abstaining. That abstention was not weakness; it was a very public, very deliberate protest. This is what sovereignty looks like. This is what a post-unipolar world looks like.show more

This is precisely why our kids go off to... public schools and come back so screwed up. A teacher on the first day of school… in the actual classroom… filming a full OOTD, kicking her leg up, skirt flaring, posing for the camera like it’s a fashion shoot instead of a place where kids are supposed to learn. At least she chose the sunny side of goth chic. Not lesson plans. Not standards. Not “welcome to class, let’s get to work.” This is what “professionalism” looks like now. The adults in charge of forming young minds treating the classroom like a personal content studio. Then parents wonder why kids come home with zero respect for authority, zero attention span, and completely inverted priorities. Public schools didn’t get broken by accident. This is the culture.show more

The Mercedes-AMG W205 C63 launched in 2015, which means... this car is now ten years old. That is difficult to reconcile because it still feels current in a way few cars manage to do. The 4.0-litre biturbo V8 and with 500 Hp in the ultimate version and relatively compact dimensions defined what a modern performance saloon was supposed to feel like before electrification and downsizing shifted priorities. At the time, the W205 felt like a technical upgrade over its predecessor. Today, it feels like the closing chapter of something more mechanical. The fact that it still holds attention is not about speed or numbers, but about how complete the package was. It represents the end of a period when AMG could still prioritise engine character over efficiency narratives.show more

We are getting absurdly close to the point where... “learning Blender” means learning how to direct an AI. A shot like this looks soft and playful on the surface, but under it is the usual 3D pain: modeling, layout, materials, lighting, atmosphere, animation, and endless tiny fixes until the frame stops looking dead. That is why Kimi K3 matters. With Blender MCP, you can describe a scene like a robotic goat walking through a dreamy field and let the model help build the environment, place the camera, shape the materials, script the motion, and iterate inside the real Blender project. The real shift is not text-to-image. It is text-to-workflow. Kimi K3 does not just give you a pretty output and disappear. It can help move the actual scene from rough setup to something that looks art-directed. Soon the hardest part of 3D will not be the software. It will be whether your imagination is good enough to deserve tools like this.show more

I am without words for how fucking impressive the... Tomorrowland prod team is. I do not think many people understand how impossible it is to build a stage like this in 36 hours, after a giant fire, and sort out crowd dynamics at the same time. Greatest fest on the planet.show more

🇺🇸 DALLAS IS ABOUT TO BECOME THE CAPITAL OF... THE AMERICA FIRST MOVEMENT! For the first time in party history, Republicans are holding a midterm convention. Not a debate stage. Not a press conference. A full blown convention, September 9th and 10th, right in the heart of Dallas. The Democrats aren't ready for this! Trump called it exactly what it is. "It has never been done before, and will be a truly Historic Event." Think about that for a second. Presidential conventions happen every four years like clockwork. Midterm conventions do not happen at all, because most parties do not have anything worth celebrating in the off year. The GOP just decided they do. RNC Chairman Joe Gruters is already calling it Trumpapalooza. That is not a typo. That is the energy level we are talking about. This is not just a rally. It is a two day showcase of the Great American Comeback. No tax on tips. No tax on overtime. Falling oil prices while the administration denuclearizes Iran. A border that finally has a lock on the door. Trump is not asking Republicans to imagine the wins. He is putting them on a stage in Texas and pointing at them. And Texas is not a random choice. It is the epicenter of this year's fight for Congress, with Ken Paxton battling for Senate and multiple House seats hanging in the balance. Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson called it exactly right, an event that will "energize our party, strengthen the conservative movement, and help build momentum." Now look across the aisle. Democrats floated the idea of their own midterm gathering. Then they quietly shelved it. No unifying message. No standout headliner. No comeback story to tell voters, because they do not have one. That is the difference in one sentence. Republicans are throwing a party because they have something to celebrate. Democrats are staying home because they do not. Midterms usually punish the party in power. Trump just decided to rewrite that rule in Texas, in front of the cameras, with the whole country watching. Buckle up. Trumpapalooza is coming, and the other side has nothing on the calendar to answer it with.show more

Some videos don’t just make you uncomfortable. They make... you stop and ask what kind of society we’ve become. I watched this and felt a deep sadness settle in my chest. Not anger first. Not political rage. Just grief. Grief for the little ones who never get the chance to take a breath, and grief for the women who are being told this is empowerment when it looks a whole lot more like something darker. Scripture doesn’t dance around the value of life. “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you.” “Children are a heritage from the Lord.” “You shall not murder.” We’ve reached a place where some celebrate the decision to end a life that is already fully formed, already capable of feeling pain, already made in the image of God… and they smile while they do it. That should never feel normal. It should never feel progressive. It should never feel like freedom. Real freedom is the courage to protect the weakest among us. Real strength is the woman who chooses life even when it’s hard. Real progress is a culture that refuses to sacrifice its children on the altar of convenience. I’m not here to shame anyone who’s already walked through this pain. God’s mercy is bigger than our worst decisions. But I am here to say out loud what too many are afraid to say: This is not healthcare. This is not compassion. This is not the America our grandparents fought to protect. Vote for life. Pray for life. Speak for those who cannot speak for themselves. Because if we stay silent while the most innocent are discarded, we will answer for it. Lord, give us hearts that break for what breaks Yours. Restore the fear of God in this land. And protect every child still waiting to be born.show more

🚨🌃 MINSK AT NIGHT 🇧🇾 — THE SLAVIC CAPITAL... EUROPE PRETENDS NOT TO SEE At night, Minsk reveals something increasingly rare in Europe: order, continuity, and historical confidence. This city is not a coincidence. It is the product of history — and of deliberate choices. Minsk is one of the most destroyed capitals of World War II. More than 80% of the city was wiped out during the German occupation. What followed was not random reconstruction, but a state-led rebuilding project that treated the capital as a symbol of survival, sacrifice, and Slavic endurance. Wide avenues, monumental facades, axial symmetry, and integrated public transport were not aesthetic accidents — they were political statements. The result is a city that still functions according to mid-20th-century urban logic: clarity, scale, and permanence. While many European capitals dismantled their historical cores through privatization, speculation, and “creative destruction,” Minsk preserved a centralized civic structure. Its metro, public spaces, and housing were built to serve residents first — not tourists, investors, or branding agencies. That is precisely why Minsk is controversial. Not because it is chaotic — but because it did not surrender its spatial identity after 1991. For critics, Minsk represents authoritarian stagnation. For supporters, it represents stability and sovereignty. For outsiders, it is uncomfortable because it contradicts the familiar narrative of post-Soviet collapse and disorder. The illuminated metro sign in the night is more than infrastructure. It is a remnant of a time when cities were built as long-term national projects, not short-term economic experiments. The monumental buildings along Independence Avenue are not nostalgia — they are reminders that Belarus chose continuity over rupture. Minsk does not ask to be liked. It does not rebrand itself every decade. It does not apologize for being Eastern, Slavic, or different. And in a Europe increasingly uneasy with history, memory, and statehood, that makes Minsk quietly subversive. These images are not propaganda. They are documentation. And what they document is a capital that still knows what it was built for. ⸻ Slavic Networks Independent coverage of Slavic regions, power, and identity.

Running out of memory used to be a common... headache when running molecular simulations with neural network potentials. Not any more. Here Orb is simulating over half a million atoms on a single GPU (H200). This is a fully solvated COVID spike protein. (The trick is to specify brute_force_knn=False in the calculator.) This is more than an order of magnitude larger than some other universal models. I can get over 7,000 steps of molecular dynamics per day with it.show more

I’d like to reemphasize this. The dust you see... is not settling. It is still going uphill when it flies over the horizon and out of view. It is like a rocket that has curved below the horizon but is still climbing. If you get this, it makes sense why it clears the view so fast. /1show more
