A spinning saddle with a playground ball shows dynamic stabilization: rapid oscillations turn an unstable point into a stable “well.” The same math underpins spin-stabilized fusion concepts and ion traps, where time-varying fields confine what static fields can’t.

Sky-blue plasma toroid = electric fields made visible. Likely Ar/Kr/Xe mix: inert gases give clean, stable ionization. The glow shows electrons surfing field lines as plasma self-organizes into a torus, same physics behind auroras and fusion, sped up then slowed down to see.

Justin Fields: God’s not Finished.. “Justin Fields is Taysom Hill” “Justin Fields is nothing but a back-up” “Justin Fields just can’t process what he sees” Sometimes a man gotta say the hell with everybody else and do what’s best for them The New York Jets taught Justin Fields a valuable lesson. Not all money is good money. Not all starting roles are worth it.. Justin Fields has exhausted starting for teams with rookie head coaches, terrible coaching, no OL, and bad defense. Aaron Glenn hiring Tanner Engstrand as an offensive coordinator when he has never installed an offense in his life made zero sense. Justin Fields paid the price of inexperienced coaches yet again, but I think he finally learned the lesson God had been revealing to him. Put no faith in man. Put faith in God and Christ that dwells within. Seeing him restart his QB journey with Eric Bieniemy at OC, Andy Reid at HC, and Pat Mahomes in the QB room was the right move. Learn from the experienced veterans for 1-2 years regardless of your role. Learn the philosophy of football Learn the system Fields is now getting everything that he should have received day 1 in Chicago We will now witness him develop into a top QB in this league So be it…

Here we go… This is the moment our ST40 centre column is lifted out. A bit like open-heart surgery on a tokamak. It’s a delicate operation, and a huge milestone for ST40. The centre column has had a tough life, acting as the core of the toroidal magnetic field coil in the world’s highest-field spherical tokamak. After more than 5,000 plasma pulses, it has helped generate magnetic fields above 2 Tesla at the plasma core, confining plasma at temperatures of more than 100 million °C, the threshold for #fusion. Next up, we install the new and improved centre column built by our partners at The Rockwood Group. This is all part of ST40’s major upgrade programme with U.S. Department of Energy and Department for Energy Security and Net Zero, helping transform it into one of the most reactor-relevant fusion devices in the world. What began as an experimental tokamak is becoming something much bigger: a customer testbed for the technologies and expertise needed to put #fusionenergy onto the grid⚡ And for anyone wondering what the centre column actually does… 👇 It forms the inner limb of each turn of the toroidal field coil. Its 24 wedges each carry up to 200 kA of current, generating the powerful magnetic fields needed to confine the plasma. Wrapped around the wedges, a 192-turn central solenoid helps drive and sustain the plasma current, after merging-compression start-up. An impressive piece of equipment with an equally impressive track record! #Fusion #FusionEnergy #Innovation

Researchers at Tokamak Energy have captured for the first time a real-time, high-speed video of plasma behaviour inside their ST40 spherical tokamak, tracking visible green and red light emissions as the fusion process occurs. This visual insight comes via a camera operating at thousands of frames per second, offering unprecedented detail of how the plasma evolves, interacts with the surrounding lithium blanket and outer regions, and ultimately radiates energy. The imaging enables scientists to observe how the ultra-hot core transitions outward into cooler zones, how magnetic confinement shapes the plasma behaviour, and how impurities or outer-region interactions influence the process. By giving a ‘star-in-a-donut’ view of fusion in action, this breakthrough adds a new diagnostic tool to the development of fusion energy, helping engineers refine the magnetic confinement, optimise plasma stability and better understand the heat and light flows at play. It was slowed down by 100x. All this was for 0.3s A tokamak is one of the most advanced devices ever created to achieve controlled nuclear fusion, the same process that powers the Sun. Its goal is simple in principle but incredibly challenging in practice: heat a gas until it becomes plasma, raise that plasma to over 100 million degrees, and confine it long enough for hydrogen nuclei to fuse and release energy. Because no material container can survive such temperatures, a tokamak uses powerful magnetic fields to hold and shape the plasma like an invisible cage. The device has a distinctive doughnut-shaped (toroidal) chamber surrounded by magnetic coils. When the machine is switched on, electric currents and external magnets work together to create helical magnetic fields that trap the plasma and keep it away from the walls. As the plasma spirals around these magnetic lines, it heats up dramatically. Additional heating comes from methods like radio-frequency waves and neutral-beam injection, pushing the plasma toward the extreme temperatures needed for fusion. Inside this tightly controlled environment, hydrogen isotopes such as deuterium and tritium can collide and fuse, releasing fast neutrons and a burst of energy. The goal of tokamak research is to reach a point where the fusion reactions produce more energy than the system consumes, a milestone known as “net energy gain.” Modern machines like ITER, JET, and Tokamak Energy’s ST40 are bringing this vision closer, using advanced diagnostics, superconducting magnets, and increasingly stable plasma control. 👉

Chicago Bears: No Excuses Truth: Bears front office and Caleb Williams supporters are anxious right now.They truly believed that Caleb Williams could elevate a team that went 7-10 the year prior just to go 5-12 Every single coach, GM, Tv analyst, and fan said that Caleb Williams was the most generational QB they have ever witnessed! Beyond Stroud and on par with Mahomes. Poles was gonna draft Caleb Williams regardless of anything. The magazine covers and negative press didn’t matter… The losing streak at USC didn’t matter… The emotions on display didn’t matter… Not performing at the combine didn’t matter… The arrogance displayed in interviews didn’t matter… The unwillingness to release medicals didn’t matter… The postponing of a top 30 visit with the number 1 team didn’t matter… Y’all think Shedeur had red flags…Williams had loads of em but they were ignored due to his talent and the media hype Ryan Poles became obsessed and relentless in his pursuit to the point that he ignored everything Fields brought to our team and the possibility of taking any other draft eligible QBs. The irony of keeping Flus and booting Fields… It was Fields that won despite of talent and coaching It was Fields that won despite being beaten up by a bad line and late hits It was Fields that was our QB1 and RB1 It was Fields that kept us in games with our defense giving up 30 pts a game It was Fields who won despite being coached to play off the opposite foot in an offense that ignored his deep ball throwing potential It’s harvest time folks. We gon see who is who this year. I love the pieces we added to the Bears offense. Loveland is my guy! But it seems Bears are taking the stacked roster with mediocre QB route. Why couldn’t Poles do this with Fields? This offense with a 4.4 speed Qb that is accurate down the field?! Williams better cook!!! For this situation to not be a disaster, Williams would need to have a better year than Fields, Nix, Daniels, Penix, and McCarthy. Anything less would lead to more questions and tough decisions…

Justin Fields: Firstfruits Believers He hasn’t had a winning season in the NFL yet.. His career thus far has been pure adversity Yet he has a large audience of believers. Why so? The skillset, the playmaker ability, the leader, and the person. We have watched Justin Fields grow up from the kid he was on QB1:Beyond the Lights The kid that willed his team to greatness since HS has faced adversity all throughout his football career Even in college, there was adversity before triumph Fans and believers understand that the NFL is a cutthroat business where opportunities come very few It is just a hard pill to swallow to see a talent like Justin Fields fall to inept organizations and coaches But by no means, are we throwing a pity party. But seriously, what has happened to the NFL? The NFL brand used to be all about development. Coaches used to actually invest, coach, develop, and believe in their players But despite the adversity, we believe Fields will find himself in a good situation that suits him With a coach that believes in him A scheme that was built for him A team that has the level of talent needed to win And a front office that truly understands what Fields bring to a team at Qb He is a game changer, not manager. He needs an offense that allows him to have 35-45 passing attempts down the field If Warren Moon NFL career started at 28 years old If Kurt Warner NFL career started at 27 years old Then surely Justin Fields at are 26 has time to prove that he belongs Give him 1 full year with good OL, good WRs, and good coach. He will breakout

Justin Fields: Victim of bad spacing “50 yards passing!! Fields is terrible..” “11 passing attempts, what a joke!” “This is year 5, and he still can’t read defenses” “This has to be a bit!” I’m here to tell you with unequivocal evidence, that these are all lies. What if I were to tell you, that despite all of blame, hate, and finger pointing that Justin Fields is actually innocent of all the accusations? If you want the truth, then research what I am saying Tanner Engstrand is the number one issue with the Jets passing offense and you would be a fool to believe a new QB would alleviate the issue. Pull up the All-22!!! THE SPACING IS OUTTA HAND! No Qb can read a defense like this. Players are lost in their routes and where to lineup. Let’s look at Ben Johnson vs Tanner Engstrand. They came from same offense, same team, and worked together for some time. Why are things completely different? Play-calling experience: Engstrand = 0 years Johnson = 3 years NFL experience: Engstrand = 5 years Johnson = 13 years When I look at Ben Johnson’s offense, everything meshes together so well. QB’s drop correlates to his progressions, Qb has multiple open targets per pass play majority of the time, and QB is given proper spacing of WRs to truly read the defensive coverages. When I look at Tanner Engstrand’s film it is literally worst than high school. Multiple WRs running into each other constantly!! Penalty after penalty because players don’t know where to go. I see a coach only passing when it is obvious passing down. I see a coach completely confused, but not blame has been placed on him. So why aren’t people going at the coach? Why is Fields taking all the blame and Engstrand gets none! Aaron Glenn hired a rookie OC that has never called a game in his life. How do you expect a rookie OC to install an offense in the offseason if he has never even called plays before?! Glenn wanted to run the show with no push back from his coaches. So he hired rookie coaches that would do as he says. Run the ball, pass only when needed. Atrocious mindset… Moral of the story: Engstrand only calls a few passing plays to cover his own ass. This offense was not installed properly. To save face, he is allowing Fields to take all the hits as he sits back and hopes the Jets give him another year with another QB. If Fields had Ben Johnson as a coach, he would be a top 10 QB. He is a better runner and down the field thrower than Caleb Williams. Look at the spacing! Look at the route concepts! Look at the talent he has! Look at the protection!!! My God I’m happy for Caleb Williams, but he ain’t playing lights out the way he should be. If Caleb is winning games because of his legs, just imagine what Fields would’ve been doing in that offense… Let the wheat be separated from the tares father God…

Stealing Energy from a Rotating Black Hole A rotating black hole doesn’t just pull things in. It drags spacetime itself into motion. In the spinning region just outside the horizon, nothing can remain still in any normal sense. That strange rule opens a loophole. One incoming body can split, with one piece swallowed while the other escapes with more energy than it came in with. A Penrose-style heist where the difference is paid for by the black hole’s rotation. The same idea shows up in wave form. A coherent packet can skim that region and return brighter, as if the geometry itself acted like an amplifier. Split near the ergosphere and you can steal spin. Skim it as a wave and you can come back louder.

IF YOU SPIN A FEW MIN A DAY YOU REVERSE AGING, RAPIDLY, 1 OF 9999999999 BENEFITS OR CURES HOW TO SPIN: Move from left to right, spinning around and focusing your vision on your left thumb. Then spin from right to left, focus your vision on your right thumb. When you complete spinning, however many times you spin, bring your palms together at chest level. Press them together, keeping your eyes open, and balance yourself with your feet a shoulder's width apart so that you feel anchored and still feel the spinning at the same time. This tremendously accelerates the spinning of the chakra systems inside your body. Many suggest to spin only clockwise but from my experience both directions are necessary! I spin in both directions. I find that I can really stimulate the vestibular system by spinning one way and then suddenly switching to another direction. Its different for everyone but the main goal is to make the fluid in the vestibular system to move in as many different directions as possible. The fluid in the vestibular system has both physical and spiritual qualities. It can be influenced by physical movements and it also can be influence through non physical stimuli like thoughts, emotion, aura fields etc. Eventually you will be able to move the fluid by will. The fluid is what creates the vortex you see. The key to spirituality is the fluid. If you can manage to keep the fluid stimulated and in activity you will be truly spiritual. As a child you had a heightened spirituality! Dont worry, nothing has been lost it’s still all inside you!

Fast View Synthesis of Casual Videos paper page: Novel view synthesis from an in-the-wild video is difficult due to challenges like scene dynamics and lack of parallax. While existing methods have shown promising results with implicit neural radiance fields, they are slow to train and render. This paper revisits explicit video representations to synthesize high-quality novel views from a monocular video efficiently. We treat static and dynamic video content separately. Specifically, we build a global static scene model using an extended plane-based scene representation to synthesize temporally coherent novel video. Our plane-based scene representation is augmented with spherical harmonics and displacement maps to capture view-dependent effects and model non-planar complex surface geometry. We opt to represent the dynamic content as per-frame point clouds for efficiency. While such representations are inconsistency-prone, minor temporal inconsistencies are perceptually masked due to motion. We develop a method to quickly estimate such a hybrid video representation and render novel views in real time. Our experiments show that our method can render high-quality novel views from an in-the-wild video with comparable quality to state-of-the-art methods while being 100x faster in training and enabling real-time rendering.

I see a lot of negative feedback about Apple’s new UI updates. But you are missing the point. It’s not about glass effects or making every UI element transparent / shiny. It’s about liquidity, depth, and movement. UI that feels alive. We are entering a new era of interface design. What was once static, flat, and fixed is becoming dynamic, adaptive, dimensional. Flat design is over. And flat screens will be too. Sooner than you think. I think Apple’s new UI system is less about a visual update. It’s the first real step toward multimodal interfaces. Where components aren’t bound to a rigid screen but float, shift, and respond. They appear where you need them, and disappear where you don’t. It’s about removing unnecessary clutter and making human-computer interaction feel… well, more human. Just because we’ve spent the last decade staring at opaque UI components doesn’t mean it’s the optimal way to interact with computers. Sure, it’s not perfect, but it’s the first real step into a new era of UI. The future is screenless. And dynamic components are the new screens.

Always so much fun to chat with Grant Sanderson AI has been making much faster progress in math than in other fields. As a result, mathematics is showing us, very concretely, what AI progress in other fields will look like. Even within mathematics, there's a jagged landscape. What does it look like? What is the nature of the most important conceptual breakthroughs in the history of mathematics, and how different are they from what AIs are currently able to do?

Always so much fun to chat with Grant Sanderson AI has been making much faster progress in math than in other fields. As a result, mathematics is showing us, very concretely, what AI progress in other fields will look like. Even within mathematics, there's a jagged landscape. What does it look like? What is the nature of the most important conceptual breakthroughs in the history of mathematics, and how different are they from what AIs are currently able to do?

YOU CAN’T MAKE THIS UP…A SIMPLE TRAFFIC STOP TURNS INTO A DOUBLE WARRANT ROUNDUP INSIDE WALMART. AT WHAT POINT DO YOU REALIZE YOU’RE LIVING IN A SELF INFLICTED CYCLE? She gets stopped. She’s got active warrants. Officers find her AGAIN…this time trespassing and allegedly stealing at Walmart. And the guy she’s with? Same exact type of warrant. Same mess. Same outcome. Some people really move in pairs… even when it comes to arrest records. HOW DO TWO PEOPLE WITH ACTIVE WARRANTS THINK WALKING INTO WALMART IS A GOOD IDEA? THIS QUESTION MIGHT BE UNRELATED BUT…IS THERE PROOF THAT MEN CAN GET PREGNANT 😂🤮?

🚨 Use DIRECTIONAL RUNS to score EASY GOALS in FC26 To perform: 1. Press L1 to trigger the run 2. Flick the RS in the direction you want Levi de Weerd shows a perfect example here of how to attack space with the directional run here. He first sends his winger on a run in behind then player locks to drop the ST deep. His opponent reacts well by tracking the run but he also holds R1 to 2nd man press the ball, leaving space in behind the CB, where Levi will flick the RS for the winger to take that space inside. First time through ball with Vitinha and it’s an easy 1v1 with the GK. This also work really well when you trigger a central player like a ST or CAM to make a diagonal run into space out wide.

Mamata Banerjee once said, “What’s a promise (প্রতিশ্রুতি) ? A promise is just a bluff (ভাঁওতা)!” Well, she was absolutely right, at least she’s honest about the dishonesty! Remember Kolkata’s Mayor Janab Firhad Hakim? The same man who, while being hauled away by the ED, wept like a tragic hero and cried, “I couldn’t save my Kolkata…” Well, show him this, this is what his “saved Kolkata” looks like after just a little rain. Boats might soon replace autos! They promised to turn Kolkata into London, but what we got instead is a mosquito-infested Venice with a side of dengue. At this point, we should probably just install gondolas in Gariahat and rename Salt Lake to Salt Lagoon.

Helen Andrews made a point that really stuck with me: Universities exist to discover and transmit truth. And truth only moves forward because of those eccentric weirdos willing to stand up first and say, “I disagree — and here’s why.” If you create an environment where new or uncomfortable ideas get shut down just to keep everyone feeling safe and included, you’re actually destroying the whole purpose of the university. She notes that the same social style can work great in fields like veterinary medicine (now ~80% female), but can be harmful in places that need friction, debate, and bold thinking. Different institutions have different purposes. What promotes harmony in one can quietly stifle progress in another. I’ve always found this a useful lens when thinking about culture and how it shapes different fields. What do you think — should universities prioritize making everyone feel comfortable, or protecting space for uncomfortable, dissenting ideas?

Very excited to watch OF Carson Benge (OSU Cowboy Baseball) this spring. Enjoyed an excellent first full season in 2023, hitting .345 with 17 2B, 7 HR, 43 RBI, and more BB (42) than K (32). Hit .345 with 4 RBI in a 9-game stint on the Cape. Wiry and athletic frame at 6'1", 184-pounds. Serious violence in his swing that is geared towards doing damage and getting the ball in the air. Plenty of hand speed, does a nice job consistently generating back spin. Impressive ability driving the baseball to all fields. Sound approach, above average bat-to-ball skills. Big barrel tip, but consistently on time and gets in a good position to hit. Absolutely pulverizes heaters - .529/.691/.824 slash line against FB 91+. Good athlete with a plus arm in RF that will allow him to stick at the position. Also has some experience on the mound where he showed feel to spin and a FB up to 96. Plays the game extremely hard and at one speed. It is abundantly clear that he loves to play! Potential top-2 round selection this July.

De’Zhaun Stribling (Ole Miss WR) has gotten shockingly little draft coverage. • Fluid mover who builds speed quickly and eats up space against off coverage while consistently threatening defenses downfield. • Brings ideal outside size with strong hands and body control, wins at the catch point, and can produce at every level of the field. • Polished route runner — does a great job settling vs. zone and creating separation vs. man, especially on curls, comebacks, and intermediate concepts. • Shows the tools to beat press with footwork and timing, and tracks the ball naturally downfield for explosive plays. There were some questions about his speed and playmaking ability, but he silenced those with a 4.36 40 time and a 9.88 RAS score. A player I could see sneaking into Round 3 when it’s all said and done.
