[New Xbox Controller Review] #ad Special thanks to Qrdgame_offcial for supplying me with a review unit of their Ferrox M5 Xbox & PC Controller QRD Ferrox M5 The QRD Ferrox M5 is a Wireless Xbox One–style gamepad with a transparent design. Since it targets Xbox One natively, it works automatically on PC and Xbox Series S/X. The included 2.4Ghz USB Dongle also supports Switch and Android with the right adapter (USB C), but I was not able to test those in time for this review. A Wireless Xbox Controller The QRD FERROX M5 comes in a familiar Xbox layout with Hall Effect joysticks, RGB rings around the sticks, and a magnetic & detachable clear shell that shows the internals. The controller feels very similar to a standard Xbox pad in terms of shape and size, but it’s slightly lighter at compared to the usual Xbox controller weight. The lighter weight makes it easier to hold for longer sessions without hand fatigue. The D-Pad is surprisingly good at dialing special moves feels as solid and responsive as the official Xbox controller, and that’s impressive at a lower price point. I spent a few days trying out the Mortal Kombat Legacy Kollection exclusively using this controller and I did not notice any difference at all. Capabilities From what I’ve tested, the controller performs extremely well for action games, fighting games, and shooters. The Hall Effect joysticks offer smooth movement and precise control with no drift issues. The D-Pad uses micro switches, so every input is tactile and accurate. The back triggers support an adaptive “trigger stop” mode, which shortens the travel distance for faster reaction time in FPS games or quicker blocks in Fighting Games. You also get 4 back macro buttons, turbo mode, and adjustable joystick sensitivity with deadzone options. Vibration strength and RGB lighting modes are also customizable. What can it do The FERROX M5 includes an 800mAh battery that lasts around 8 hours of gameplay. It only uses the 2.4Ghz wireless connection, not Bluetooth, so it always requires the included USB Dongle. The good thing is once you sync it with your Xbox or PC, you don’t need to sync it again—it carries over between both devices automatically. The 2.4G connection is stable and low latency, and the controller has a 3.5mm headphone jack for audio and mic support. It also features a quick calibration system to keep sticks and triggers accurate over time. The overall grip and shape feel close to the official Xbox controller, comfortable for long gaming sessions, and the transparent shell gives it a distinct look. Areas of improvement I initially had trouble charging the controller while playing because connecting it to the Xbox via USB would disable all inputs, making it unusable in wired mode. But luckily QRD Support helped and provided me with an updat - I had to connect it to a PC, download the firmware tool from QRD’s website, and update the controller manually. After installing the new firmware, the controller can now charge while being used normally on Xbox, so the issue is fully resolved. The Xbox button also behaves differently on Xbox, where the single press acts like hold and the hold acts like single press; this issue doesn’t appear on PC. Syncing with the dongle took a few attempts on both Xbox and PC, but once paired, it never needed syncing again. The wireless mode is strictly 2.4G with no Bluetooth support, so it cannot connect without the dongle, though the benefit is that one pairing works across both Xbox and PC. Final Summary ✅ Hall Effect Joystick ✅ Lights in the dark ✅ Good D-Pad for input dialing ✅ Light Controller ❌ First sync can be annoying on PC ❌ No bluetooth for phone usage - Dongle is necessary ❌ Needs an update for the Xbox Wired issues which require a PC The Controller is available on Amazon for $59.99, and will be part of the Black Friday Deals on their official website for even more discount!

A team tested Pi0, Pi0 Fast, Gr00t, and ACT on real robot arms in manufacturing tasks. (🔖 Bookmark this for later!) The task was precise: place thin rectangular frames from a messy stack into a holder. The team fine-tuned each model on 100 real trajectories and compared training time, inference speed, motion quality, and success rates. ⬇️ Here’s a breakdown of what they found Pi0 (Original) ✅ Strongest overall performance in precise pick-and-place ✅ High success rate even in edge cases ✅ Longest training time (~11 hours, ~$30 per run) ✅ Inference time of 80 ms causes short pauses between actions Despite delays, it handles complex scenarios well… solid for high-precision tasks, but slow to train. Gr00t ✅ Trains fast (~2 hours, ~$5 per run) ✅ Performs almost as well as Pi0 on large-object tasks ✅ Struggles with fine precision; random movement in some trials ✅ More training didn’t fix jitter or random offsets Best suited for tasks where exact precision isn’t critical. Not ready for manufacturing-grade accuracy without more tuning. Pi0 Fast ✅ Promised faster training, but results were underwhelming ✅ Training at 6 hours still showed low success rates ✅ Inference was slower than expected ✅ Not reliable for generalizing even slightly new tasks Currently too unstable for real-world deployment. Doesn’t live up to the “Fast” name yet. ACT (Baseline) ✅ 200MB model—lightweight, but limited ✅ Struggles with stacked objects or ambiguous scenes ✅ Success rates around 70% in best-case setups ✅ Can’t match newer models on precision or generalization Still a solid baseline, but clearly a generation behind in robustness. 🚨 Extra Notes All newer models share a common issue: •Inference takes longer than a frame (80 ms vs 33 ms), so robots “pause” between chunks. •This results in jittery movements, but not a dealbreaker unless tasks are time-sensitive. Language-conditioned tasks also fell short: after training on two labeled tasks, the model couldn’t generalize to a third unseen combination using only text prompts. ✅ The good news? These models adapt well to new robot arms with quick fine-tuning. ❌ The bad news? There’s still no plug-and-play solution for improving performance after deployment. Reinforcement learning or DAgger-style data collection during real-world operation may be the next big step, something many teams in robotics are actively working on.

PMs: AI is coming for your job! …but not in the way you think.... I recently posted a demo of Operator using to run an entire PM workflow in just 5 mins—all while I was in the shower. Here’s what it did: 1️⃣ Analyzed feedback from thousands of Slack users to surface prioritized feature requests and complaints. 2️⃣ Added insights to the roadmap. 3️⃣ Wrote a PRD about Slack Notifications. 4️⃣ Created a user story with acceptance criteria and assigned it to an engineer in Linear. The reactions were fascinating... 🔹 Thousands of PMs bookmarked the post—determined to figure out how to do this themselves (or, let’s be real, to avoid getting replaced by AI). 🔹 Some yelled that this isn’t what PMs do—claiming AI analysis of user feedback is just “crowdsourcing what to build/fix next.” 🔹 But many more were excited about what they could achieve when AI handles the busywork—PRDs, user stories, and all—so they can focus on high-impact strategy and product craft. So yeah, AI is coming for your job 😉 But it’s coming to: ✅ Help you do it better. ✅ Deliver products that evolve faster to meet real user needs. ✅ Make sure you’re not just overdosing on podcasts while ignoring user feedback. As both a product builder and a product user, I’m excited for what’s ahead 🚀 Make sure to turn on the sound to hear the AI-generated voiceover narrating what the AI agent is doing in the demo 🔊

Tesla’s FSD v14 recently demonstrated what many are calling a "god-tier" breakthrough in autonomous driving, proving that the system is starting to master the nuanced social cues of the road 😎 In a recent real-world scenario, a Tesla navigating normal traffic was approached from behind by a police cruiser with its lights and sirens active. Rather than the stuttering or confusion often seen in earlier iterations of self-driving tech, the system handled the high-pressure situation with the poise of a seasoned chauffeur. 🚨 The AI immediately recognized the urgency of the sirens, prioritizing the emergency vehicle with zero hesitation. 🛣️ It executed a silky-smooth deceleration and pulled over to the roadside, maintaining a perfect distance from the curb. ⏸️ Once stopped, it remained completely still and patient—no "fidgeting" or nervous creeping—while the police car passed. 🔄 The moment the path was clear, it signaled, merged back into the flow of traffic, and continued the journey as if nothing had happened. This specific performance marks a shift from a reactive safety feature to a proactive "thinking" driver. It’s no longer just about staying in the lines; it’s about understanding the complex hierarchy of the road. For anyone still skeptical about the future of autonomy, seeing a machine handle an emergency pull-over more cleanly than many human drivers is a powerful reminder that the gap between assistance and true intelligence is closing fast. It feels less like a suite of sensors and more like a driver that truly understands the "social contract" of driving.

Ran 21 km (13.1 miles) — and the motor was still cold. That’s the detail that matters. 🤖 Honor was the clear dark horse in this year’s robot half marathon. They swept 1st, 2nd, and 3rd, and also posted a strong top-6 finish overall. What stands out to me is that this was not just about bigger motors, or a gait tuned for long-distance running. They seem to have solved something more important — cooling. In a post-race interview, Honor engineers said the robot used liquid-cooling tech adapted from Honor smartphones, with cooling lines running deep into the motor system to carry heat away. Some reports added more detail: the setup used two high-speed micro pumps, with flow rates reaching up to 6 liters per minute, giving the system enough cooling capacity to handle sustained lower-joint motor load. That matters because once a robot starts overheating, output drops, stability goes with it, and the whole run can fall apart fast. And that’s exactly why this detail is interesting. Of course, that does not mean Honor has already surpassed teams like TienKung or Unitree across humanoid robotics as a whole. What it does suggest is that for the marathon task, they built a very strong system solution. And honestly, that alone is already a useful case for the industry. The bigger trend is moving fast. Last year, TienKung won in around 2 hours 40 minutes. This year, the winning time dropped to 50 minutes 26 seconds. Last year, most robots were still fully remote-controlled or only semi-autonomous. This year, around 40% were running with a much higher level of autonomy. So to me, the real signal is not just that robots got faster. It’s that the field is now moving past raw speed, and into the harder problems: autonomy, stability, and system reliability under load. If the pace of progress stays anywhere close to this, then next year’s race should be even more worth watching.

The secret to a high-end garden isn’t expensive plants or professional landscaping. ​It’s all about the edge definition. ​When grass creeps into the flower beds, a garden instantly looks unfinished and messy. Creating a crisp, clean border between the lawn and the soil is the single most effective way to elevate an outdoor space from amateur to luxury level. ​Here is the step-by-step breakdown to achieving a flawless, professional look with minimal effort: ​1. Slice, Don't Tickle ​Grab a half-moon edger or a sharp spade. Instead of just skimming the surface, slice straight down vertically. The goal is to create a clean, distinct break in the soil that separates the green grass from the brown earth. Placing a long, straight wooden board along the edge can act as a perfect guide for a laser-sharp line. ​2. Form a Physical Barrier ​Remove the cut clumps of grass and dirt to create a clean, shallow trench. This empty space isn’t just for looks—it acts as a physical barrier that stops aggressive grass roots from invading the flower beds for weeks to come. ​3. Clear and Cleanse ​Weed the actual garden bed thoroughly. A pristine backdrop of smooth, dark soil provides a striking color contrast against the vibrant green of a freshly cut lawn. That contrast is what makes the entire garden visually pop. ​4. The Perfectionist’s Polish ​For the final touch, use a pair of long-handled lawn shears to trim any stray blades of grass hanging over the new edge. A quick pass with a leaf blower to clear away any loose debris will leave the border looking absolutely immaculate. ​Pro-Tips for an Even Better Result: ​The Mulch Trick: After defining the edge, add a fresh layer of dark hardwood mulch to the flower beds. It suppresses weeds, retains moisture, and deepens the color contrast for that ultra-luxurious feel. ​Maintain the Angle: When cutting the edge, a slight inward angle (about 80 degrees) toward the flower bed helps the lawn retain its structure and prevents the edge from collapsing during heavy rain. ​A Weekly Touch-up: Running standard lawn shears along the established trench during the weekly mow takes less than five minutes but keeps the border looking razor-sharp all season long. ​A tiny bit of extra effort yields a massive return in curb appeal. Turn a chaotic yard into a manicured masterpiece this weekend.

China unveils humanoid robot with lifelike skin and blinking eyes built for daily life | Prabhat Ranjan Mishra, Interesting Engineering Large Language Models (LLMs) and Vision-Language Models (VLMs) help process and interpret complex data from human interactions. A Shanghai-based company has developed humanoid robots that appear as real as humans. The advanced bionic humanoid robot is integrated with self-supervised AI algorithms. Named Elf V1, the robot can perceive the world, communicate, learn, and interact intelligently with its surroundings. Developed by AheadForm Technology, the robot offers up to 30 degrees of freedom, powered by a precise control system and an advanced AI learning algorithm. Robot offers expressive facial features The robot offers expressive facial features, moving eyes, and synchronized speech. It can also convey emotions and understand human non-verbal cues, making interactions more natural and engaging. The robot has highly interactive capabilities and lifelike appearances. AheadForm expects that its robots could soon seamlessly integrate into daily life, providing assistance, companionship, and support across various industries. “We believe that by developing realistic and expressive robot heads, we can bridge the gap between humans and machines, fostering a new era of interactive and intelligent robotics,” said the company in a statement. Reports revealed that to avoid the “uncanny valley” effect and be able to interact with us, they are given lifelike skin and capabilities to read our emotions and respond appropriately using dynamic expression simulation and emotion generation tech. Bionic skin and high-precision control system The Elf V1 series of humanoids features 30 facial muscles animated by brushless micro-motors and managed by a high-precision control system. Paired with an ability to detect their users’ emotions with low latency and bionic skin, their facial expressions are nearly identical to those of humans, reported CGTN. The company claims it’s pioneering the development of realistic humanoid robots designed to revolutionize human-robot interaction. It’s enhancing sophisticated humanoid robot heads that can express emotions, perceive their environment, and interact seamlessly with humans. By combining cutting-edge AI and advanced robotics, AheadForm aims to bring life to machines and transform how humans engage with technology. AI models boost robots’ responsiveness Seamless integration of Large Language Models (LLMs) and Vision-Language Models (VLMs) into the humanoid robots can help them process and interpret complex data from human interactions, enabling the robot to learn and adapt in real-time, achieving human-level understanding and responsiveness. AheadForm uses Brushless Motors that deliver ultra-quiet operation and high responsiveness, specifically designed for precision facial movements in humanoid robots. With its compact size, lightweight design, and energy efficiency, this motor is the ideal choice for next-generation robots that require precise, subtle facial control to create a truly human-like experience. Previously, the company unveiled the Lan Series that features realistic humanoid robots with soft skin and 10 degrees of freedom, offering a lifelike appearance and intuitive movements. This series is designed for cost-efficiency, for applications prioritizing mobility and manipulation.

Max very eloquently describes the ambiguous intangibles that come from learning a fighting game you care about. These hit even closer to home on fighting games you end up liking more than expected. Imagine, if you will, the 1st time you booted up your favorite fighting game ; ------------------------------ The publisher and dev logos show up, maybe a dope trailer to intro the first time you turn the game on, then the title screen with a "PRESS ANY BUTTON TO START" or something like that. You find your way to a story mode or arcade mode and are filled with excitement on where this journey will take you. No matter what path you take you know that you signed up for an experience where you get to control and basically BECOME a character that kicks ass. Maybe after a while you decide to jump into training mode and start labbing, "I should really figure out a combo or two" because you don't want to mash forever. And then finally, you jump online. After grinding games for what felt like just a few minutes, you realize hours have passed, you're addicted. The grind only goes on harder and maybe you even find out about locals or tournaments in your area. Perhaps you even discover MAJORS - basically tournaments so large in scale that people from all over the world attend. Your competitive drive is at an all time high and then, suddenly, you hit it. The Wall - coined by Brian_F Now every game you lose, every local player that edges the win over you, ever single mistake just feels so heavy... It's because you are stuck. You are not growing. You are stagnating. And it sucks. It really sucks. I coach a lot of students and it's one of the hardest things to explain to someone "You're doing everything right, you just have to do it a - a bit quicker - a bit more confidently - with intent These are the intangibles, the hardest things to teach but the things that become so critical at the highest level, where inches become miles in terms of player skill. It gets so frustrating too because by this point, it's so tough to have fun when you just keep losing. You can't go back to day 1, at least not physically. Knowledge is a burden – once taken up, it can never be discarded - Stephen Lawhead Awareness is step one though and although it can feel incredibly suffocating, once you push through your plateau in fighting games you truly unlock a part of yourself that feels untouchably satisfied with all levels of play.

The best exercise for the brain you’ve probably never seen. According to Michael J. Lavery’s book “Whole Brain Power”, using a 4-pound sledge hammer to bounce a golf ball up and down dramatically amplifies both your neurological and physical demands Massive Central Nervous System (CNS) Activation The sheer weight of a 4-lb sledge forces the CNS to fire at a much higher intensity. To keep a lively golf ball bouncing on a heavy, rigid piece of steel, your brain has to send incredibly powerful, rapid-fire signals to your muscles. This level of resistance forces maximum motor unit recruitment, teaching your nervous system to fire more efficiently under tension. Elite Grip and Forearm Strength Lavery heavily emphasizes the link between hand/grip strength and brain health, viewing the hands as the direct external extension of the central nervous system. Bouncing a ball requires a loose, reactive wrist to absorb and redirect impact, but holding a 4-lb hammer requires immense isometric grip strength. Managing that weight leverages extreme stress onto the forearms, wrists, and fingers, building dense, functional grip strength that standard lifting rarely touches. Accelerated Neuroplasticity via Forced Focus With a light hammer, you can cheat the movement or rely on casual reflexes. With a 4-lb sledge, there is zero room for error. The high penalty for a missed bounce (the heavy hammer dropping or completely throwing off your rhythm) forces the brain into a state of hyper-vigilance and deep cognitive focus. This intense concentration triggers a higher release of acetylcholine and dopamine, the exact neurotransmitters required to stimulate neuroplasticity and forge new neural pathways. Overcoming Hemispheric Dominance (Ambidexterity) When you transition the 4-lb sledge to your non-dominant hand, the challenge scales exponentially. Because the non-dominant hemisphere of your brain isn't used to managing that much weight combined with fine motor precision, the drill forces rapid communication across the corpus callosum (the bridge connecting the left and right sides of the brain). It quickly exposes and corrects deep-seated muscular and neurological imbalances between your two sides. Cortical Mapping and Joint Stability Holding a heavy weight at the end of a lever arm requires all the stabilizing micro-muscles in your wrist, elbow, and shoulder rotator cuff to fire simultaneously. This builds incredible joint integrity while expanding your brain’s "cortical map"—its internal blueprint of where your body is in space (proprioception). Benefits: - Maximum Central Nervous System Recruitment - Dense Grip and Forearm Strength - Forced Cognitive Focus & Neuroplasticity - Rapid Dual-Hemisphere Brain Activation - Enhanced Proprioception & Joint Integrity - Growth Hormone (GH) and Testosterone - “ Fountain of Youth" Endorphins - Dopamine and Acetylcholine - Insulin Sensitivity and Blood Sugar Regulation

Tourism is Bleeding A lot goes through my mind when I see what is happening, and honestly, it hurts that no one seems bothered. How do we pay a contractor in full before the work is completed? At what point do we call this what it truly is — a misuse of government funds? In times like these, I would expect accountability. Names mentioned. Arrests made. Projects taken away from those who clearly failed and handed to people who can actually deliver. Why can’t we think differently? Why not involve the army in road construction, or rely on our own qualified engineers to fix these roads once and for all? Are we really that short of capacity, or is it simply a lack of will? The other day, while heading to Queen Elizabeth National Park, the road was so bad that by the time we reached Fort Portal, we had to stop at a garage. That moment said everything. This is the same road meant to carry high-end tourists to the Rwenzori Mountains for hiking, to chimpanzee tracking, and to game drives in Queen Elizabeth. Instead, it pushes them away. Tourism is bleeding quietly. Opportunities are being lost silently. And the people who suffer most are the communities that depend on this industry. This isn’t just about roads ,it’s about responsibility, dignity, and the future of our tourism sector. Rt. Hon. Nabbanja Robinah. PRIME MINISTER Milly Nassolo Kikomeko Gideon Nova Kwikiriza

🚨🍼 PARENTS ARE WAKING UP IN THE DELIVERY ROOM! More moms & dads are quietly saying “NO THANKS” to the routine newborn protocol: Vitamin K shot, Hep B vaccine at birth, and the whole “just-in-case” bundle. Refusal rates have nearly DOUBLED in recent years — and it’s not rebellion. It’s RESEARCH + INFORMED CONSENT in action! 👏💪 Abby the Midwife When mom is Hep B negative and baby isn’t high-risk on day one, families are asking: Why inject a brand-new human with synthetic chemicals in those fragile first hours? This is a powerful shift toward trusting nature’s design over hospital scripts. 🧬✨ MUST-WATCH VIDEO by Dr. Jeffrey I. Barke, MD exposing the Vitamin K shot truth! 🔥 PARTIAL TRANSCRIPT from the video (key highlights): “There are approximately 3.6 million newborns born in the United States every year. The American Academy of Pediatrics thinks every single one of them should get an intramuscular dose of vitamin K1.” ☠️But look at the BLACK BOX WARNING right at the top:🤮 ⚠️⛔️“Severe reactions including fatalities have occurred during and immediately after intravenous and intramuscular injections of vitamin K.”⛔️⚠️ ⚠️☢️“This product contains aluminum which may be toxic… Premature neonates are particularly at risk.”☢️⚠️ Then Section 13.1: “Studies of carcinogenicity, mutagenesis or impairment of fertility have not been conducted.” 😱 Translation? They’re pushing a synthetic chemical with a fatal-reaction warning, aluminum toxicity risk, and ZERO long-term cancer/fertility studies — while recommending it for EVERY baby on day one. Nature designed thin blood for stem cell transfer from the cord… not sludge from a shot! ✅ Parents, do your homework! ✅ Demand full informed consent! ✅ Protect your littlest ones from unnecessary interventions. ✅ ✅ Say NO and watch the quiet revolution grow! 🙌🛡️ #InformedConsent #NewbornRights #VitaminKWarning #ProtectOurBabies #DoYourOwnResearch #NaturalBirth #RFKJrMAHA What are YOUR thoughts?

Bridging Theory and Practice: A Reflection on Ghana’s National Science & Maths Quiz – The 10% Law or Perhaps the 10% Problem. First, Congratulations to Presbyterian Boys' SHS for clinching the title in this year's National Science and Math Quiz (NSMQ), and heartfelt appreciation to Primetime and all sponsors for facilitating this esteemed competition. The NSMQ has indeed grown in stature, now rivaling our national love for soccer in popularity. While the competition continues to excel, it's prudent to offer constructive feedback to further hone its impact and sustain interest. This piece seeks to address a notable incident from this year’s competition, reflecting on the balance between theoretical precision and practical understanding, a key element in nurturing innovative minds capable of tackling real-world challenges. The “10% law” question provides an opportune moment to reflect on the essence and impact of educational competitions. A question concerning the "10% Law" in the context of food chains saw a response marked incorrect due to a minor omission, despite the understanding of the concept being evidently clear. ❓Question Name the law that explains that each trophic level in a FOOD CHAIN transfers 10% of its energy to the level above it, and the other 90% of its energy is lost to heat or reproduction. ❌ Answer given by OPOKU WARE SCHOOL: The 10% law. However, our beloved quiz mistress marked this response as incorrect, stipulating the answer should have been "The 10% law in food chain”. However, the context of the question was clearly delineated; hence, the phrase “in food chain” was implicitly understood, making the given answer accurate and succinct. The penalization for a perceived lack of completeness, in this case, underscores a prevalent concern in our educational fabric - the emphasis on mechanical/verbatim memorization over a nuanced/holistic understanding of concepts. While precision in scientific terminology is vital, the pendulum should not swing to the extreme where the essence of learning is overshadowed by the rigidity of expression. Here is why we need to rethink such rigidity in expression. 📌 Strict Adherence to Terminology In the scenario presented, the adjudication appears to have been fixated on precise terminology rather than understanding the underlying concept. While technical precision is important in scientific communication, the emphasis on exact wording to the detriment of conceptual understanding can be counterproductive. 📌 Impediment to Practical Learning This approach can potentially hinder creativity and critical thinking essential for real-world problem-solving. The focus shifts from a practical understanding of concepts and their applications to a memorization of textbook definitions and terminologies. 📌Impact on Student Engagement When students are penalized for minor omissions in terminology despite demonstrating a clear understanding of the concept, it can be demoralizing and may affect their confidence and performance. *********************** Educational competitions like the NSMQ are pivotal in inspiring and nurturing scientific inquiry among young learners. They serve as platforms for not merely disseminating knowledge but for promoting critical thinking, innovative problem-solving, and practical application of theoretical concepts. 📌Way forward🤝 ✅Real-world Applications Integrating more real-world scenarios and problem-solving exercises can enrich the learning experience and demonstrate the relevance of theoretical knowledge. In essence, while maintaining a high standard of excellence, it's imperative that educational competitions like the NSMQ evolve to foster a conducive environment for practical learning and innovative thinking. This balanced approach can significantly contribute to nurturing a generation of thinkers, innovators, and problem solvers well-equipped to tackle the multifaceted challenges of our contemporary world.

🚨 The GAGOP Nominating Committee just showed the worst of what’s wrong with this party. 🚨 Kandiss Taylor—yes, the same Kandiss Taylor who works in schools with children and is now running for Congress in GA-1—sat on the Nominating Committee while running for public office—and used her position to launch an absolutely unhinged personal attack during my interview. Kandiss told me I, “didn’t get spanked as a child!” Why? Because I refuse to fall in line. Because I don’t bow. Because I don’t play their games. Because I shine a light on the cult-like mob mentality infecting the leadership of the Georgia GOP. Because I won’t kiss the ring of Josh McKoon or the good ole boys little empire of manipulation. And the entire committee let her attack me! In fact, they all did for over 20 minutes. Let’s call it what it is: a coordinated culture of control. If you don’t obey? They’ll: 💥Block you from getting the delegate list 💥Try to keep you off the ballot 💥Slander you, spread lies and filth—then gaslight you that you’re the problem 💥And now? Suggest physical abuse as punishment As Steve Bannon says, “These are the desperate screams of a dying regime.” This culture has to change. Now. It’s time to rebuild the GAGOP into something stronger—an infrastructure that other states envy. A machine that actually works for the people, not the politicians. ✅No more Dominion machines. ✅No more fake “America First” phonies. ✅No more weak leadership obsessed with silencing truth-tellers. ✅ It’s time to stop pretending and start delivering on Trump’s America First agenda. ✅ It’s time to gear up for victory in 2026—and take the Senate back. It’s time to get serious. That starts now in 2025. About Trump. About paper ballots. About taking the Senate back in 2026. This is our moment to build something real! If you’re ready for that kind of change, I’m asking for your vote for Assistant Secretary of the Georgia Republican Party. Let’s build this party into something that actually fights for you.

Thermodynamic computing is here There is a new computing paradigm emerging from the noise, and its arrival may be as significant as the dawn of deep learning or the advent of cloud virtualization. A new company, Extropic, has just launched its first thermodynamic computer, a device they call a TSU, or Thermal Sampling Unit. While the web is already filling with deep technical dives, what’s more important for most of us is building a clear intuition for what this technology is, how it’s fundamentally different from anything that’s come before, and why it’s generating so much excitement. This isn’t just another chip; it’s a new way to think about computation itself. Seeing is Believing: Solving Puzzles in One Shot To understand what a TSU does, let’s look at two classic, notoriously difficult computer science problems: Sudoku and the Eight Queens problem. When you or I solve a Sudoku, we use a process of sequential logic, guess-and-check, and backtracking. We make an assumption, follow its logical conclusion, and if we hit a dead end, we erase and try again. A classical computer does the same, just much faster. A TSU, however, approaches this in a completely different way. Using a TSU simulator, one can “program” the problem by first clamping the known values—the clues already on the board. Then, you program in the constraints: no duplicate numbers in any row, column, or 3x3 square. With the problem thus defined, the TSU doesn’t “search” for a solution; it anneals one. In a single computational step, the solution simply emerges, backfilling all the empty squares correctly. The same principle applies to the Eight Queens problem, a challenge to place eight queens on a chessboard so that none can attack any other. This is a complex combinatorial problem with 92 distinct solutions. A classical computer would have to iteratively search for these. A TSU, by contrast, can be programmed with the constraints (the “anti-affinity” between queens on the same row, column, or diagonal) and then set to sample the “solution space.” In this context, a valid solution is one with a “problem energy” of zero. The TSU’s physical nature allows it to naturally find these zero-energy states. A simulation of this process shows the TSU discovering all 92 unique solutions, demonstrating its ability to not just find an answer, but to explore the entire landscape of all correct answers. This is a fundamentally new approach, one that bypasses the brute-force, iterative methods we’ve relied on for decades. The Physics of Computation: Using Noise, Not Fighting It This new power comes from a radical design philosophy. For the last 70 years, computing has been about one thing: order. We build chips that are deterministic, logical, and precise. The great enemy has always been noise, heat, and randomness. We spend billions on cooling and error correction to eliminate these very things. Quantum computing, in many ways, is the ultimate expression of this, requiring temperatures near absolute zero to eliminate all thermal noise and achieve quantum coherence. Thermodynamic computing is the polar opposite. It doesn’t fight the noise; it uses it. The TSU is built on the understanding that the natural, stochastic noise from “leaky” transistors—the very randomness we’ve tried to engineer out of existence—is itself a powerful computational resource. Think of it this way: a GPU, which is central to today’s AI, has to simulate noise. When a generative AI model creates a new image or sentence, it’s using complex algorithms to fake randomness. The TSU doesn’t need to fake it; it harnesses the actual physical randomness of thermodynamics. It is a piece of hardware that directly computes with probability. This makes it a hybrid, sitting somewhere between a purely analog computer (which might use light or sound waves to compute) and a digital GPU. It’s a physical device that leverages the laws of physics itself to find solutions, rather than just using logic gates to simulate them. From a Lost Hiker to a Million Bouncy Balls Perhaps the best way to build intuition is with a metaphor. Imagine that solving a complex optimization problem is like trying to find the lowest point of altitude in a 100-square-mile mountainous landscape. Classical computing, using an algorithm like gradient descent, is like being a single hiker dropped into this landscape at night. You have no map or satellite view. All you have is an altimeter and the sensation of the slope under your feet. You can only take one step at a time, always walking downhill, hoping you don’t get stuck in a small local valley when the true, lowest canyon is miles away. Thermodynamic computing is a completely different approach. It’s like having a million bouncy balls and a helicopter. You drop all million balls simultaneously across the entire 100-square-mile landscape. Then, you “turn on an earthquake,” shaking the entire system. The balls bounce and jostle, but as the shaking (the “annealing”) subsides, where do they all end up? They naturally settle into the lowest points. The balls that collect in the deepest valley represent the optimal solution. The TSU is, in essence, a physical device for dropping those million balls at once and letting the laws of thermodynamics find the lowest “energy” state for you, all at the same time. Beyond Puzzles: The Real-World Impact This is far more than just a clever way to solve brain teasers. This ability to instantly find the lowest energy state for a complex, constrained system has staggering real-world applications. One of the most immediate is protein folding. Companies like Google’s DeepMind have made incredible progress with AI like AlphaFold, which predicts protein structures. But this is still a predictive model trained on existing data. A TSU could potentially solve the folding problem directly, treating the protein as a system of atomic affinities and repulsions and finding its most stable, lowest-energy configuration almost instantaneously. This could revolutionize drug discovery and materials science. An even more profound possibility lies in nuclear fusion. One of the greatest engineering challenges in history is controlling the superheated plasma within a tokamak reactor. This requires shaping unimaginably complex magnetic containment fields in real-time to prevent the plasma from touching the reactor walls. This is a real-time optimization problem so complex it’s currently beyond our capabilities. A TSU, however, could be fast enough. Its ability to compute with electricity itself, rather than abstracting the problem through layers of software, might allow it to update the magnetic fields fast enough to stabilize the fusion reaction. One could even imagine a future where thermodynamic computing elements are built directly into the tokamak’s walls, allowing the reactor to physically and intelligently react to the plasma’s state in real time. A ‘GPT-2 Moment’ for a New Era It’s easy to become numb to hype, but what we are witnessing with the TSU feels different. This is what you might call a “GPT-2 moment.” For those who were there, GPT-2 was the first generative AI model that wasn’t just a toy; it was the first time you could play with it at home and see the spark of true generative intelligence. It was the precursor that pointed directly to the GPT-3 and ChatGPT revolution that has since changed the world. This TSU has that same feel. It’s the “SDK” for a new computing paradigm. This technology is as different from classical computing as quantum computing is, but with a critical difference: a team of 15 built this in two years, and it runs at room temperature on your desk. Quantum computing has seen decades of work and billions in funding, and it still hasn’t produced a commercially viable, scalable machine. The TSU is here now. Based on a two-decade-long career at the cutting edge of technology—from seeing the obvious future of virtualization in 2007 to an early conviction in deep learning and GPT—this has all the same hallmarks of a fundamental, world-changing shift. We are not just building faster calculators; we are learning to compute with the universe itself. Pay close attention to this. This is the next big thing.

On the 6th day of recruiting myths: Myth #6: “Colleges don’t recruit from high school programs.” It’s true. I’ve never seen a D1 coach at a high school game. Maybe 1-2 make it out to the big well known pre-season tournaments, but in most states, HS ball is in the middle of their own season. So this myth is mostly true if you’re in the D1 or bust mentality. Almost all of us start with that goal, but there are a million things that have to go just right to make that happen. There are plenty of players with enough talent to play D1 that don’t start there. I know this because I played with some amazing ones. They ended up going the JUCO route for one reason or another, killed it as All-Americans, and are now playing at a higher level. I had local JUCO coaches at our HS games all the time. I actually saw them more often in high school than I did at the club tournaments I played in. Even if you think you’re destined for D1, it’s important not to discount it. What happens if you’re injured your sophomore or junior year, or you developed a little too late for D1 programs who have filled their class? What happens if your freshman grades sunk your GPA? What if the programs that offer you don’t have enough athletic aid to make the finances work for your family? To say all recruiting happens in club is more like saying I’m only interested in one path to my goal. And… if you kill it in high school season and get some recognition it can be enough to catch the attention of D1 programs. I had a good friend that nailed it her junior year. She had not received any offers going into May, but her HS season was incredible. She made zero errors all season! Her bat was 🔥 and she ended up getting selected as the Conference Offensive Player of the Year across the state of Arizona. She posted the award on X and immediately she had a D1 coach follow her. That coach eventually came to watch her play in club and have her out for a visit. The award didn’t get her an offer and neither did the high school play directly, but it built enough credibility to get some interest. And for people outside the “recruiting bubble”, these seemingly little things can be the tipping point. She’s a freshman this year playing D1 softball. So… if you’re thinking High School sports don’t provide recruiting opportunities, you’re thinking too narrowly. The opportunity looks different, but it’s still an opportunity to increase your odds of playing at the next level. #RecruitingRules Rule #2: Build your brand. Create your own luck - High school sports provided one of the best opportunities I had to build my brand. Local media coverage. State tournaments and awards. Those are things that don’t happen often in club. The coaches might not be at the field to watch during their own season, but that doesn’t mean you can’t keep building your brand to improve your opportunities later!
