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.

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!"

#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.

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.

Kenny Beecham didn’t like how Bleacher Report listed Miami Heat’s starting lineup at #14 in their rankings: “This still feels low. Still feels low to have a team with Giannis and Bam on it. I still think Giannis is going to be a force, still think Bam is one of the best defensive players in the world and now he got Giannis. This unit defensively…this is like bonafide top defensively and the offense is going to be atleast solid enough because they got Giannis on the team…” (via Kenny For Real YT)

He Played “Walk of Life” as If the Song Already Knew the Way The odd thing about watching Mark Knopfler in 1996 is not how much he does. It is how little he needs to do. He does not patrol the stage to remind anyone who is holding the guitar. He does not dress the solo up as a contest. He stands inside the song and lets it keep its own pace, which is rarer than virtuosity and harder to fake. That is the real subject of the clip. We have been trained to treat difficulty as the proof of value: more notes, more motion, more visible strain. Knopfler works in the opposite direction. The lines are clean. The spaces around them are part of the playing. He leaves room for the band, for the bounce of the rhythm, for the audience to enter without being instructed. Confidence, here, looks like refusal to crowd the frame. “Walk of Life” helps him. It was never built as a monument. It wants movement. The riff has that easy forward lean, the feeling that the body recognizes the walk before the mind names the song. Under the cheer there is nothing ornate. People get on with it. They keep walking. They keep playing. The joy is ordinary on purpose, which is why it still lands when so many “uplifting” anthems now sound like they are selling you a mood. Watching it now changes the temperature of the performance. In the mid-90s a live groove did not have to win a two-second fight against the next clip. A band could settle and stay. The music had duration. That duration is what makes Knopfler’s restraint visible. If you only glance, it can look like he is doing less. If you stay, you notice he is doing the one thing that spectacle often ruins: he is keeping the song intact. So the pull of this old tape is not nostalgia for a haircut or a stage set. It is the relief of watching a musician who knows when to play, when to step back, and when to let the tune carry the room. He is not trying to make “Walk of Life” look impressive. He is playing it as if walking were enough. Which 1990s live performance still feels like that to you — not louder than the song, just sure of it?

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

NEW OPEN SOURCE ROBOT: A cheap, lightweight, and agile platform for locomotion! Called BRIDGE, it is an open-source humanoid robot platform, hardware plus control system. It is an 88 cm, 12.5 kg humanoid with 21 active degrees of freedom that costs roughly $1,500. Its distinguishing idea is that the body and the controller are designed together through a three-stage data-driven pipeline: - anatomical constraints - kinematic criteria - closed-loop dynamic criteria Hence the morphology itself is optimized to preserve human motion quality when the robot executes. It demonstrates teleoperated locomotion, balance-oriented motion (bending, lunging, extreme balance) and highly dynamic motion including back-flips and expressive sequences. I like that the thesis is designing the body and the controller together, not a controller for a fixed body, which inverts how nearly everyone else works; the robot is usually given, usually a Unitree G1, then train a policy on it. At the end of the day, it is a sub-$2K open-source humanoid that does back-flips, the humanoid analogue of the cheap-arm democratization.

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?

This is the moment either a Staffy-cross or Pitbull attacks a Golden Retriever on a British street earlier this month. Notice how two grown men struggle to restrain it, how it goes for the throat and how its owner is powerless to keep it contained. This is from a dog which weighs maybe 25kg at the most. Breed this dog to have a much bigger jaw structure, add 20-40kg in size and muscle and you'll understand what makes XLs uniquely dangerous.

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.

Ran Neuner explains why Hyperliquid's real float is way tighter than its $80 billion FDV suggests "The one thing that people don't realize about Hyperliquid, you say, wow, this thing's valued at $80 billion. But there's an old valuation on companies, FDV - number of shares in circulation times the price. That's not a good measure for crypto." "Crypto is a function of scarcity times pressure. It's not shares in circulation times price. It's: how scarce is it, and what is the buying pressure? Think of it like pushing water up a tube. How tight the tube is and how high the pressure is, that's how high the price is going to go." "In crypto you've got staking, which makes things much tighter. To list a token on Hyperliquid you've got to put $55 million or $80 million into a staking contract. That creates a lot of scarcity. So even though Hyperliquid looks like it has an $80 billion fully diluted valuation, the buying pressure plus the staking pressure, divided by the number of tokens in circulation, creates insane pressure on the way up."

The world is shifting. The culture is shifting. The rules keep changing. But God's Word? It doesn't shift. It doesn't change. It doesn't update. The greatest deception facing believers today is not outright rebellion. It's the hybrid life. Doing it like the world just enough, while also doing it like God just enough.
