How does Boston Dynamics’ robot dog Spot walk on oobleck without sinking? Oobleck is a non-Newtonian fluid, meaning it acts like a solid under pressure. Spot’s constant motion creates enough force to keep it above the surface, unlike a still kettlebell, which sinks.

I found this to be a pretty funny concept. Surprised it hasn't been done before. The animations on the numbers is pretty solid & smooth. I like how the hole on the "9" acts like an eye at certain points. I like this a lot! "789" by EvergreenTD

Boston Dynamics just gave its robot dog a brain that reasons about the physical world. Google DeepMind's Gemini Robotics model is now running inside Spot, the four-legged robot already deployed at thousands of facilities worldwide. The upgrade centers on something called embodied reasoning. Basically, instead of following rigid instructions, Spot now interprets what it sees and makes decisions on its own. One standout example: Spot can now look at a pressure gauge, zoom in on the needle, calculate the intervals between tick marks, and deliver an accurate reading. All autonomously. The model also introduces: > Multi-view reasoning, combining feeds from multiple cameras to understand its environment even when objects are blocked from one angle > Built-in success detection, so Spot knows when it's failed and decides whether to retry or move on That last part is a key requirement for true autonomy. Most companies building AI-powered robots are still stuck in the demo phase. Boston Dynamics is one of the few with actual paying customers... which means thousands of Spots collecting real-world data that feeds back into making the AI smarter. That flywheel is hard to compete with.

Tunguska, 1908 — a cosmic explosion 5 miles above Earth. It never touched the ground… Yet it flattened 820 square miles of forest. The force? Equivalent to a 15 megaton hydrogen bomb — nearly as powerful as the largest the U.S. ever tested. And unlike a crater-causing impact (like Arizona’s Meteor Crater), this one vaporized midair—snowball vs. cast iron. This is what a space rock can do... without even landing. Still think we’re safe?

#Patriot's trailer is quite good, feels like a gripping espionage story is on the way❗ The music is decent enough. The trailer does not spoil major action set pieces but still manages to keep it intriguing. More focus on the plot than mass moments.

xQc calls out the spotlight Hasan uses on Kaya & hits back after Hasan called him a degenerate sell out gambling addict "Does he have a f'in light on it..looks like one of those like when u go to cafeteria and they have the pizza sitting there like a heat lamp to keep it warm..why not have a bigger spot tho..does the training have to be on a 1x1 minecraft cube?" "U can never catch me in a hitch or a corner..I tell everybody exactly how it is..I will self debunk anything u want..this guy can't debunk his own dog!"

India is a country which can understand the implication of a good which comes in our way, although a good is never unmitigated, a good is never without riders, a good is never - on its own - good, it is for us all to use in such a way that it is for the common good. I think the AI is something which we should know how to keep well under our reins and serve for the common good. - Smt Nirmala Sitharaman in New Delhi.

Here’s me explaining how a 2010 Act of Parliament quietly rewired democracy. It handed huge power to Quangos like the CCC, now implementing Agenda 30 which will shape your life under Net Zero. Know how it happened and how it is still happening 🔥

Just look how far the lady on her bicycle still is from the side of my lane and Tesla FSD just spots it and acts like a true gentleman. FSD increases safety so much while at the same time removing the egotistical behaviour from the driver. It creates a better world on the roads Tesla Europe, Middle East & Africa Tesla_AI #FSDEurope

What you're watching here is a torus cycling through its eigenfunctions...the surface's pure standing-wave modes. An eigenfunction is a mode that, when the surface Laplacian operator acts on it, reproduces itself scaled by a constant...that constant fixes the natural frequency. Each mode is indexed by two counts: how many oscillations wrap the small tube and how many wrap the big ring. Dark rings are nodes (no motion) and the bright bands between them are antinodes. As the counts rise, nodes crowd together, ridges sharpen, and the torus takes on a pine-cone look. #Eigenfunctions #SpectralGeometry #MathArt #Math

WHY DO THESE WOMEN MAKE THESE OBVIOUSLY HORRIBLE DECISIONS TO DATE GUYS LIKE THIS….ITS REAL FATIGUE SEEING THESE SITUATIONS… DOMESTIC VIOLENCE ISN’T “DRAMA”…IT’S A WARNING SIGN YOU’RE IN REAL DANGER. IS IT REALLY WORTH YOUR SAFETY, YOUR PEACE, AND YOUR SELF-RESPECT TO KEEP ENTERTAINING ABUSE? A busted nose from a vape thrown at your face. A boyfriend who’s been freeloading for a year. Zero contribution. Constant verbal abuse. And it still escalates. This isn’t love. It’s a cycle…and it only gets worse when excuses keep getting made. HOW MANY RED FLAGS DOES IT TAKE BEFORE YOU WALK AWAY?

Being There (1979) is a cinematic ink blot test, and we still don’t have a definitive answer for why Peter Sellers walks on water in the final shot. Is it a Christ allegory? Or is it the purest visual metaphor for Chance: a man so unburdened by ego, that he simply glides through life without ever breaking the surface. Or are we, like everyone in the film, projecting meaning onto a simple gardener and calling it a miracle? Maybe the joke's on us, life could be just a state of mind after all.

A new humanoid robot Spirit AI from China releases a new generation of wheeled humanoid robot Moz1 It is the first embodied intelligent robot with high-precision force control of the whole body, with 26 degrees of freedom, built based on the world's highest power density integrated force control joint. It takes speed, precision and safety to a higher level. It is worth mentioning that Moz1 is driven by SpiritAI's latest OneTwoVLA. It only needs one model to think and operate at the same time, and correct errors autonomously, just like humans, without separating the two systems of "thinking planning" and "coordinated execution". One system is seamlessly connected, which is conducive to dealing with complex, personalized, and immediate tasks, especially in home and care applications.

In 1979, the Soviet Union made walking giants.. This particular type, called ЭШ 6.5/45, was made in the former Soviet Union around 1979. Unlike Boston Dynamics' robots, it walks very slowly. This is because it weighs 280 metric tons, or about 617,294 pounds. And to answer the question "why do they walk" we have to go back briefly to the early 20th century. Back then, dragline excavators (crane-like machines popular for moving very large amounts of earth) had a problem: they got very heavy. So heavy that the railroad tracks used to move them on a construction site were sinking into the ground. Then, in 1908, Oscar Martinson of the Monighan Machinery Company said, "These should just walk, right? Let's make them walk," and he invented the first walking dragline. According to the post on social media, only half a dozen ЭШ 6.5/45 were produced, which means that seeing one walking around is a rare sight.

Awesome! This is literally a superhuman hand. 🤖✋ ChangingTek Robotics just dropped a dexterous hand that actually morphs between left and right hand configurations on the fly. It uses cable-driven tech to pull off shapes and reverse bends that human hands can't even dream of doing. The power is real too, with a 50N grip force and 10N at the fingertips while staying precise within 0.1N. It is kind of like a rigid octopus, meaning it is tough enough to crank a wrench or screwdriver but smooth enough to grab a drink. Having this much range of motion in a single hand basically doubles the efficiency of any robotic arm in tight spots.

The Moon defies expectations. On Earth, dense material sinks while lighter rock rises—but on the Moon, it’s reversed. Add in hundreds of reports of mysterious outgassing and lights on the surface, and you begin to wonder: If the Moon has enough mass to form a perfect sphere, why hasn’t it? What hidden activity is still unfolding inside our closest cosmic neighbor?

Does the gunplay feel like Ghosts? Probably because it feels like enemies are microscopic. Movement similar to MW19. The maps are solid, but not sure how they’ll play in 4v4 respawns. It’s got the worst spawn system I’ve ever seen, which is a good. It should be very easy to fix. I’m impressed.

Heads up + Giveaway RT to win $100. The Fluid token is launching live within one hour (6pm UTC) This launch caught my eye as placing trades in crypto is less than user friendly right now. Fluid is linked directly to telegram so I can trade within seconds. A lot easier. Fluid also allows for crosschain swaps and bridging, which is notoriously a giant pain to find reliable methods for. Additionally, the launching marketcap is 1.3M. So that's a no brainer for me when the product is this solid. Check the video below for a demo on how it works. Follow them on x Fluid to get the contract address when it launches. Disclaimer: I certainly did get in on the presale, as this is a great idea.
