In 2006, former AT&T technician Mark Klein discovered a door with no handle, labeled "Room 641A," inside an AT&T data center in San Francisco. Behind it was a highly classified space known as the SG3 Secure Room — operated in partnership with the NSA. Inside, Klein learned, was a...

There is a room in Málaga that was built to be the closest thing on earth to standing inside heaven. It is called the camarín of the Virgin of Victory, and it is hidden at the top of a tower inside the Santuario de la Victoria. To reach it, you climb and the ascent is the entire point... The building you are climbing through was completed in 1700, and it was designed as a single argument made in stone. At the bottom lies a crypt: a black chamber crowded with white plaster skeletons, a meditation on death and the brevity of life. From there a staircase rises, and as you climb it the light grows stronger and the imagery changes from bones to saints. The architects of the time understood this ascent as the soul's own journey, the dark crypt as the stage of penitence, the staircase as the stage of spiritual progress, and the room at the very top as the final stage: the union of the soul with the divine. That room at the top is the camarín, and its dome is one of the most extraordinary interiors in Spain... Every surface is covered in white and gold plasterwork. There is no empty space anywhere. The Baroque called this horror vacui, the horror of the void: the conviction that a space meant to represent heaven should not contain a single bare patch of stone. Out of that plasterwork emerge angels, flowers, birds, and mirrors. The mirrors are not decoration alone. They catch the light pouring in through the windows of the drum and throw it around the chamber, so that the gold seems to move and the whole room appears to shimmer and breathe. This wonder was built by people who believed that if you wanted to show a human being what heaven might feel like, you did not describe it to them. You built a room, and you let them climb into it... -- -- -- If you enjoyed this, I write a weekly newsletter read by over 50,000 people who love rediscovering the beauty of the past.

There is a keyhole in Rome that lets you see three countries at once... It sits in a green door at the top of the Aventine Hill. Press one eye to the lock, and the dome of St Peter's Basilica appears at the end of a long corridor of laurel hedges, framed perfectly inside a circle of metal barely an inch wide. The dome is a kilometer and a half away, but through the keyhole it looks impossibly close. As if you could reach through and touch it. The door belongs to the Sovereign Military Order of Malta, the only order from the Crusades that still exercises sovereignty today. The villa behind the door has extraterritorial status and it's treated as separate from the surrounding Italian territory. This is why one keyhole holds three sovereign jurisdictions. The garden in front of you is the territory of the Order of Malta — not a country in the conventional sense, but a sovereign subject of international law, with its own passports, ambassadors, and a permanent observer seat at the United Nations. The land between the garden and the dome is Italy. The dome itself stands inside the Vatican. Three sovereignties in one glance... None of this was an accident. In 1765, the Venetian architect Giovanni Battista Piranesi was commissioned to redesign the priory. He laid out the gardens, planted the laurels, and aligned everything toward the distant dome of Michelangelo's masterpiece. He was building a telescope made of trees. When he died in 1778, he was buried inside the church behind the door, a few steps from the keyhole that became his most famous design...

This is WILD! A small startup just declared war on America's most powerful telecom companies and nobody is talking about it. For decades, AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile have had an iron grip on how Americans connect to the world. They built the towers, they set the prices, and you had no real choice but to pay whatever they demanded. That stranglehold ends today. US Mobile just bundled Starlink satellite home internet together with unlimited wireless service across all three major networks and they are charging under $50 a month for the whole thing. Let that land for a second. You are getting home internet beamed down from space, plus full cellular coverage on Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile's networks, all inside one bill that costs less than most people pay for just their phone plan alone. The big carriers have been charging $120 a month just for Starlink residential internet on its own. US Mobile is handing you that same service plus an unlimited phone plan for less than half of that price. This is not a discount carrier cutting corners. US Mobile is an MVNO, a company that leases capacity from all three major networks at wholesale rates and packages them into something the big carriers would never offer, because doing so would cannibalize their own revenue streams. Their internal network names are Warp, Darkstar, and Lightspeed. Those are Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile, all three, simultaneously available to one customer on one plan. Now they are adding a fourth layer from orbit. Starlink's constellation of low-earth satellites delivers home internet that has already disrupted rural broadband. Bundled with cellular, it means one plan that follows you from your living room to the middle of nowhere. The big carriers saw this threat coming. T-Mobile has been in a satellite partnership with Starlink, but that exclusivity window has expired, meaning SpaceX can now work with anyone. US Mobile was paying attention when everyone else was not. AT&T has bet $15.6 billion on a rival satellite company called AST SpaceMobile just to try to keep up. Verizon has no credible satellite answer at all and now a nine-year-old startup from New York is selling the whole package for under $50 a month.

As i was about going inside to make ablution for magrib, i saw this one at the window side towards the side of the wardrobe, not even sure if it's just entering but there was no hole or space at the window, quickly took a mop stick to start hitting it with many miss, as it was trying to go into hiding beside the wardrobe i know if it escape, its going to be a long ride with no other option i used my hand to hold its tail gentle drag it back to the middle of the room then i quickly picked a shoe to finish it up.. We are the people of AlhamdulillLlah 🤲 PS : was too shocked to even remember commanding it to leave the room 😂

Elon Musk is building a data center that no grid has to power and no county has to approve. Musk: “Think of it as a rack of compute in space.” Orbital hardware has always been custom. Each satellite is its own program, its own team, its own decade. SpaceX’s AI1 satellites are copies of each other. Each is built around a single Nvidia NVL72, the same rack-scale architecture running the largest data centers on the ground, redesigned to fly. Space stops being a program and becomes an inventory. Designing for orbit made the rack simpler and cheaper than the ground version, so SpaceX plans to run the space design in terrestrial data centers too. Racks alone have never made a data center. A thousand of them in a building with no network between them is a thousand computers. The interconnect is what turns them into one machine. Training a frontier model means moving enormous volumes of data between processors without pause, and the whole system runs at the speed of its slowest link. That is why the fabric between chips is fought over as hard as the chips themselves. Musk: “And then you can connect these racks of compute to either each other by the laser links, or directly to the Starlink constellation.” Light moves through glass at about two thirds of its speed in a vacuum, and fiber optic cable is glass. Every backbone route and undersea cable on Earth pays that tax. A laser between two satellites pays nothing. Over long distances, an orbital link arrives sooner than the same run in fiber. Orbit was supposed to be a trade, unlimited power in exchange for a worse network. The network is faster. The compute plugs into a delivery layer that is already finished. Thousands of satellites are up there right now carrying laser links, terminating at ground stations and dishes across most of the planet. The last mile was built years before the thing it delivers existed. Anyone else attempting this needs the rocket, the satellite bus, the solar manufacturing, the laser mesh, the ground network, and a supply line to a chipmaker. SpaceX had five of them before the project had a name. None of it was built for this. Starlink existed to sell internet subscriptions. The lasers existed so those subscriptions would work over open ocean. Starship existed for Mars. Nobody planned this. It assembled itself out of problems solved for other reasons. That is what twenty years of hard engineering leaves behind. Every previous expansion of human capability ran on a resource sitting inside somebody’s borders. Coal, oil, water, land. Sunlight in orbit belongs to nobody and never runs out. Compute still has an address. A building in Virginia, a substation, a county that had to approve it, a grid connection someone waited four years for. He is describing a version that only has an altitude.

C10s⁉️ | Officers from the South African Police Service have seized a vehicle that was found at the home of the son of former Zimbabwe President Robert Mugabe. The vehicle is not a police car, but it was fitted with a police siren and white flashing lights, which are only allowed on authorised emergency vehicles. Officers came across the car as it was leaving the premises while they were returning to continue searching for a missing firearm. The vehicle had three occupants inside, two men and one woman. Police stopped the car and later seized it as part of their ongoing investigation.

If a Cybercab can roll through Chinatown at rush hour - tight streets, sudden pedestrians, bikes cutting across, yellow cabs everywhere, and zero room to hide - then the rest of the country is going to feel almost quiet. New York doesn’t give you a clean test track. It throws everything at you at once. When a car with no steering wheel can handle that and keep moving, every other city in America starts looking like an easier problem to solve. #Cybercab

While you slept last night, completely motionless in your bed, our galaxy shifted millions of kilometers through the cosmos. You woke up in the same room, on the same planet, but unimaginably far from where you were the night before. The Milky Way does not glide silently through the universe. It is racing through space at about 600 kilometers per second, carrying with it billions of stars, planets, and everything they contain on the journey. It is a good reminder that, even when life seems motionless, you are always in motion.

Holy sh!t ! OpenAI will have their custom inference chips ready in just a few months and deployed at scale by the end of the year! 🤯 Training chip = The heavy lifters that require massive amounts of data and power to build and teach the AI models from scratch. Inference chip = The specialized, highly efficient chips that actually run the AI and generate the answers in real-time when you use it. This is going to help OpenAI drastically cut down their massive compute costs, speed up model reasoning times, and finally break free from relying entirely on Nvidia to scale their operations.

At more than 4,000 meters below the surface, the submarine Orpheus II recorded routine data from the seabed. It was all quiet, until a massive, slow motion crossed the spotlights.🧐📷 The captain thought it was an optical glitch... until the sonar marked a live mass the size of a shipper. Her skin looked translucent, as if light had slipped inside her, and on her side a beating red cavity opened... like an exposed heart. No one in the crew ever spoke. All you could hear was the buzz of the engine trying to reverse, while the being slowly turned towards them. Recording ended with a metallic sound.. and a cut sentence in the box black. —“He's not alone... ”

Trained on zero real-world data. Learned to walk, pick up boxes, and follow multi-step instructions... in the REAL world. ( 📌 Paper below) Researchers from Amazon FAR, Berkeley, Stanford, and CMU scanned real rooms with an iPhone, rebuilt them as 3D Gaussian Splatting scenes, then generated 48,000 synthetic trajectories of a Unitree G1 walking, grasping, and placing objects inside those virtual replicas. They rendered the robot's first-person camera view from each run and paired it with the matching language instruction and motion data. That's the dataset every humanoid team needs and nobody has: synced egocentric video + language + kinematics, at scale. Instead of collecting it in the real world, they manufactured it. They trained a vision-language-kinematics policy on that synthetic data alone, then deployed it on the physical G1 across five task types: navigation to a named object, lifting boxes of three different sizes with no per-size tuning, chained multi-step tasks, robustness to mid-task layout changes and flickering lights, and multi-minute long-horizon runs. No real-world fine-tuning at any point. Real-world interaction data has been the hard limit on humanoid learning... slow, expensive, and small. If scanning a room once and synthesizing thousands of labeled interactions holds up as a general recipe, that limit moves.

"Do not miss the once in a lifetime chance to see the largest collection of 329 ‘Taihaku’ cherry blossom trees in the entire world all in their two week blossom window this spring at Alnwick Garden. Such a rare sight and no where else in the world has this beauty at such a scale but right here in Northumberland you can visit the cherry tree orchard and take it all in. The view is breathtaking and something you have to see with your own eyes. In 1926 Captain Collingwood Ingram was invited to Japan to give a lecture to the Sakurakai (cherry society). Whilst there he was shown a picture in an 18th Century book of a large, white cherry blossom that had become extinct. He recognised the same blossom on a cherry tree which had been imported to a Sussex garden in 1899 and was able to take cuttings from it and reintroduce the lost Taihaku to Japan in 1932.All of the Taihaku in cultivation today are off-spring of that cherry tree in Sussex!" -Emma.

A 22-year-old woman, an IIT graduate and the daughter of a senior bureaucrat, was found dead at her home in southeast Delhi's East of Kailash area. Police said she was raped before being strangled to death with a phone charger. She was alone at home at the time of the incident. There were no signs of forced entry. Police have arrested a 19-year-old domestic help, Rahul, who had worked at the house and was dismissed over a month ago. "Investigations revealed that he used to play online games and would borrow money from other servants in the vicinity, or from domestic staff working in nearby households, without ever repaying them. This is why he was fired," Joint Commissioner of Police Vijay Kumar said. He was arrested from a hotel in the Dwarka area, where he had been hiding. He is being charged with rape, murder and robbery, police said. Rahul was seen in CCTV footage leaving the victim's residence at 6:28 am, police said. According to police, the woman was found by her family members inside the house under suspicious circumstances, after which the authorities were alerted. The victim had completed her schooling at DPS RK Puram and later graduated from IIT Delhi. She was preparing for the UPSC examination. She was also a dancer and had won several awards in dance competitions. Her elder brother holds a senior position in a multinational company, and her mother is a doctor.

A 22-year-old woman, an IIT graduate and the daughter of a senior bureaucrat, was found dead at her home in southeast Delhi's East of Kailash area. Police said she was raped before being strangled to death with a phone charger. She was alone at home at the time of the incident. There were no signs of forced entry. Police have arrested a 19-year-old domestic help, Rahul, who had worked at the house and was dismissed over a month ago. "Investigations revealed that he used to play online games and would borrow money from other servants in the vicinity, or from domestic staff working in nearby households, without ever repaying them. This is why he was fired," Joint Commissioner of Police Vijay Kumar said. He was arrested from a hotel in the Dwarka area, where he had been hiding. He is being charged with rape, murder and robbery, police said. Rahul was seen in CCTV footage leaving the victim's residence at 6:28 am, police said. According to police, the woman was found by her family members inside the house under suspicious circumstances, after which the authorities were alerted. The victim had completed her schooling at DPS RK Puram and later graduated from IIT Delhi. She was preparing for the UPSC examination. She was also a dancer and had won several awards in dance competitions. Her elder brother holds a senior position in a multinational company, and her mother is a doctor.

On the day that the Cincinnati Bengals announce their blockbuster deal with Ja’Marr Chase, I got a story … In 2021, Chase hit a rough patch in camp with drops. It was a big story at the time, the kind that blow up in the summer. Anyway, I came thru for an early August practice, and hung out with coaches on the field for about a half-hour after the session ended. I turned around, and there was Ja’MarrChase, out there on the Juggs, having kept one teammate behind to help him. Five minutes later, he was by himself, with an equipment man shooting the balls at him. At the end of my camp trip, I showed my football-obsessed first-grader (now a fourth-grader) how this player picked fifth overall was responding in the face of adversity early in his career. Almost all the rest of the players and coaches were inside. It wasn’t a show. It was a guy consumed with being the best. Which is why I think the Bengals will sleep well writing him those checks.

There’s a turf war in San Francisco. Fighting for territory? Chihuahuas and labs. These are the two most common dog breeds found in the city, according to detailed data obtained by the Chronicle from San Francisco Animal Care and Control on every dog registered since 2020, a total of 50,000 pups. But depending on which neighborhood you are in, you are much more likely to see one or the other. There are also a few pockets of the city where other dogs dominate. While there’s more than enough data to give us a strong sense of the city’s dog scene, the dataset doesn’t represent every canine in San Francisco. Animal Care and Control estimated in 2018 that the dog population was between 120,000 and 150,000. The department said that not all dogs are licensed because people might not be aware of the law requiring it or don’t want to pay the fee, and there are only 11 officers who patrol the city to look for unlicensed dogs. With this bounty of doggo information, we have anointed this “Dog data week,” in which we will explore a different aspect of San Francisco’s four-pawed population each day. Today, we start with San Francisco’s great breed divide. In addition to names, colors, and breeds, the data also includes the ZIP code of every registered dog.

This is quite funny. We're visiting Kamakura in Japan and we came across a large group of Chinese tourists in a place that, at first glance, looked nothing special. Turns out that this very spot is one of THE most iconic locations in Japan for Chinese people who grew up in the 1990s. Why? Because in the 1990s there was this Japanese basketball manga called "slam dunk" that every kid was watching in China, and the opening credits featured an image of this very spot: a railroad crossing on a small street leading to the beach in Kamakura. Apparently this place is so popular with Chinese tourists that they had to cordon it off at some point. Now it's obviously reopened with 3 guards assigned to handle the traffic. And now that they've heard about it, it's my daughters' turn to be hooked on the series so maybe in 20 years' time they'll be perpetuating the passion and come back to this "Slam Dunk" shrine ☺️

Europe’s oldest surviving operating theatre… Built in 1822 in the Attic of St Thomas Church in London right above the women’s ward. Before this was built, they were literally cutting people open on the ward itself, in front of other patients. In this room patients were awake the whole time with no ether or chloroform or antiseptic or anything like that. Assistants held you down to stop you from leaving and restraints were sometimes used. If you are lucky you may get a gag to bite on. Amputations that went “well” lasted less than a minute because shock and blood loss could kill you in under two. Most of what happened on that table was an attempt at surgery. Infection finished a lot of them a few days later. Nobody even understood germs. Surgeons worked bare-handed in coats already stained from the last case, causing further infection. If you ended up in a room like this, you were probably done for. 1822 was a brutal year for that, and the table was the last resort when all else failed. All with an audience staring down from the tiers, which makes it even stranger.
