There are powerful machines, and then there’s Super Heavy... lighting 33 Raptors at once. SpaceX just ran the booster through a full-duration static fire for Flight 14. The most powerful moving object ever made by humans. All that ridiculous thrust has one job: get a fully reusable Starship moving massive payloads to make frequent deep-space transport actually practical. Gravity has a very serious opponent.

Ukraine–Nordic-Baltic Summit. I want to thank Estonia for hosting.... The NB8 format is very practical. There are three key priorities: First, to make diplomacy more active. We discussed today how to do that. Second, to provide Ukraine with air defense and strengthen our cooperation to make Europe stronger. Third, important EU meetings are coming soon, and I thank every partner for supporting Ukraine. It is time to open all clusters. Everything is ready, and there is no reason to delay. I am also grateful to our partners for their readiness to continue strengthening sanctions against Russia. This is important. Russia must end its war, and only pressure can help achieve that.show more

I met with the President of the Council of... Ministers of Italy, Giorgia Meloni, in Rome. We had an excellent and very substantive discussion on all aspects of the diplomatic situation. We appreciate Italy’s active role in generating practical ideas and defining steps to bring peace closer. I briefed her on the work of our negotiating team, and we are coordinating our diplomatic efforts. We are counting greatly on Italy’s continued support – it matters for Ukraine. I also want to express my gratitude for the package of energy assistance, the necessary equipment – this is exactly what will support Ukrainian families, our people, children, and everyday life in our cities and communities, which continue to endure constant Russian attacks. We must protect lives. Thank you, Italy!show more

Most video tools can generate clips. Very few can... maintain identity. That has been the real bottleneck in AI video creation. Kling O1 changes that. For the first time, creators can carry a character, style, and visual language across scenes without constant fixes. You can reference past clips, assets, or images and the output stays consistently on-model. No visual drift. No rework loops. No “this doesn’t look like the last shot” moments. It feels less like prompting a tool and more like working with a creative collaborator that remembers context. The impact is practical, not theoretical: → Faster production cycles → Lower iteration costs → Noticeably higher output quality This is what mature AI tooling looks like. Not louder features. Not bigger claims. Just reliability where it actually matters. Consistency is no longer the problem.show more

AI in robotics gets all the attention right now,... but sometimes the most interesting work is very practical. Viet built a small vision system that counts potatoes on a conveyor belt. No giant dataset. No huge model. Just a clear problem and a smart setup. He used Ultralytics’ ObjectCounter, trained a tiny YOLO11 nano model, and because there was no potato dataset, he annotated a single frame with SAM 2 and trained from that. One frame. Still works across the whole video. It is a good reminder that useful AI in industry often looks like this. Focused. Lightweight. Solves a real task. If you work in manufacturing or robotics, these small systems are usually the fastest wins. They save time, reduce errors, and do not need massive infrastructure. Nice work, Viet.

The Y-chromosome bottleneck around 5,000–6,000 years ago, during which... 19 out of 20 male lineages went extinct on a global scale, coincides with the desertification of the Sahara and the Solovki geomagnetic excursion. The mainstream explanation that there was somehow a “First World Caveman War” makes little sense. What makes more sense is the possibility of a developed civilization that knew about the event and chose to save more females and fewer males, simply because the survivors could repopulate the planet more easily, as one male can have children with multiple females at once. That would actually be a very practical tactic during a global crisis event. The story of Noah also mirrors the Y-chromosome bottleneck, as Noah and his three sons passed on a limited number of paternal lineages, while Noah’s wife and the wives of his sons passed on multiple maternal lineages. In my opinion, this event may be connected to the story of Noah’s Flood.show more

HAPPENING NOW: Massive U.S.-Israeli airstrikes ROCK Tehran, Iran, as... President Trump tells The Atlantic that the country’s new leadership wants to talk to him and he plans to do so. “They want to talk, and I have agreed to talk, so I will be talking to them. They should have done it sooner. They should have given what was very practical and easy to do sooner. They waited too long,” Trump told The Atlantic in a phone call from his Mar-a-Lago club shortly before 9:30 a.m. The Atlantic: “Asked whether his conversation with the Iranians would happen today or tomorrow, Trump responded, ‘I can’t tell you that.’ He noted that some of the Iranians involved in negotiations in recent weeks were no longer alive. ‘Most of those people are gone. Some of the people we were dealing with are gone, because that was a big—that was a big hit,’ he told me. ‘They should have done it sooner, Michael. They could have made a deal. They should’ve done it sooner. They played too cute.’”show more

Two cinematic prompts for Seedance 2.0 right here 👇... [STYLE + CAMERA + ATMOSPHERE] Ultra-photorealistic cinematic 15-second action sequence from a grounded action thriller film. Nighttime at an abandoned industrial train yard. Old trains, rusted tracks, broken platforms and warehouses. Strong moonlight and industrial lighting. The visual language is gritty and realistic with hyper-realistic practical destruction. Camera is handheld-dynamic with urgent moves. [IMAGE REFERENCES] No reference images provided. Generate a fully consistent lead character: a male fugitive in his mid-30s, short hair, intense expression. He wears a dark jacket, jeans and boots. Maintain exact same appearance and clothing throughout the clip. [TIMELINE SECOND BY SECOND] 0-3s: [Dynamic handheld tracking shot from side-rear] The man runs across the train yard as a freight train derails violently after hitting a collapsed section of track. Massive train cars tip over and crash into the ground, sending metal, wood and cargo flying. The camera tracks him urgently as the destruction spreads. 3-7s: [Slow continuous orbiting camera moving around the frozen destruction] At the peak of the derailment, everything freezes in perfect realistic physics. Huge train cars, twisted metal, wooden debris and clouds of dust hang motionless in the air with accurate weight and trajectories. The camera performs a smooth, continuous orbit through the frozen chaos, moving between large suspended train cars and passing close to sharp metal fragments while the man remains visible. 7-15s: [Dynamic tracking shot as time resumes] At the 7-second mark time snaps back to forward motion with a slight realistic temporal residue. Some outer debris shows a very subtle reverse lag before continuing. The man has used the frozen moment to dive behind a concrete barrier. When motion resumes, several large pieces of metal miss him. He stays low and runs toward an open warehouse as debris finally crashes down. The camera tracks with him through the dust. [STYLE & QUALITY BOOSTERS] Photorealistic 8K, hyper-realistic rigid body destruction with correct material properties (metal, wood, train parts), perfect frozen mid-air physics, seamless transition from freeze to resume, natural dust interaction, heavy cinematic motion blur on fast debris, stable character performance, movie-level practical destruction VFX quality.show more

THIS STUDENT WAS VIBE CODING AN APP, THEN GOT...

The Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool got a fresh blue... coating on its bottom this spring and the reactions have been very split, exactly as you’d expect with anything high-profile in D.C. What actually happened Crews drained the long reflecting pool (the big one between the Lincoln Memorial and Washington Monument) and applied an industrial-grade pool-style coating in a dark shade President Trump called “American flag blue.” It covers the old gray granite/concrete bottom that had been there for decades. The goals were to: • Seal leaks better • Reduce the algae/greening problem that made the water look murky • Give the water a richer, more vivid blue reflection • Freshen everything up quickly ahead of America’s 250th anniversary celebrations this summer It’s not traditional historic restoration it’s a pragmatic, aesthetic quick-fix using modern pool surfacing material. The pool still reflects the monuments, just with a stronger blue tint. The budget and timeline story President Trump repeatedly said previous estimates for a full fix/replacement were in the $300–355 million range and would take years, so his team went with this coating approach instead, initially projected at roughly $1.5–2 million and doable in about a week. He contrasted it with past efforts that “failed.” The reality check: • Obama-era work (2010–2012) cost about $34–35 million on a major reconstruction to fix leaks and algae; problems persisted afterward. • Little to no major structural work happened under Biden. • The new contract started near the low figure Trump cited but grew to around $13.1 million once more repairs and waterproofing were added. It took several weeks in May 2026. Trump personally inspected the work by driving through the drained pool in his motorcade.
