🚨Interesting Fact: Orion Artemis II Space shuttle is literally NASA’s first 🚀 testbed for human shielding through the deadly Van Allen radiation belts – they’re gathering real sensor data now so future crews don’t get fried later.🧐 🌌🛰️ “We must solve these challenges before we send people through this region of space.” --Orion’s uncrewed flight climbed 3,600 miles up, past ISS altitude, straight into the Van Allen radiation belts to stress‑test new shielding and log radiation with onboard sensors.😱 🚀Radiation here can wreck guidance, computers, and electronics, so NASA is using this mission to harden the spacecraft before committing human crews to deep space runs to asteroids or Mars. 🛰️Funny enough, Apollo astronauts later admitted they weren’t even sure if they went far enough to hit the belts – but now NASA’s openly saying the quiet part out loud and designing around it. 🧠💥 Space isn’t just “exploration,” it’s an active radiation lab now – and Orion is the guinea pig so future astronauts don’t have to be.

✨ I managed to improve 🚗 Voxel Derby a lot and it's deployed now: It now has a new 🏡 village map, multiple cars you can select (ppl requested monster truck on here so I added) and the cars fall apart better when you hit other cars or objects They slowly disintegrate until there's enough damage and they start smoking and then you're rekt! Now I'm going to try add multiplayer ASAP so people can drive into each other here Also it'd be fun to get less flat maps, I don't know how to do that because everything is voxel, so if it's less flat you get this blocky gradient curve which isn't optimal About a few hours of time invested to make this now, so pretty good score!

Englot is real. EF: Both of us have adjusted ourselves as there's not much time left. Now we're happy and our couple fans are happy and that's good enough. There might be fans who don't understand us but that's common. We understand each other and there's nothing that we don't know about each other since we keep each other updated. CL: It's now 4 and soon will be 5 years that we've been together. When we had problems, were on good terms or fought, everyone knew it. We've passed the point that we'd be hesitant to share. Now it's the period when we both feel the most comfortable. EF: Just by looking each other in the eye, we know what the other is thinking. Englot is real like what you've witnessed so far. You can easily tell when we aren't on good terms. However, that's what happened in the past before we've grown and understand each other at this point. We always keep each other updated. It is so real that sometimes we discussed things that... (They went ooh ahh.😅) We consult each other and, like I usually say, we're each other's safe space and sisters that have been together for quite long. #อิงล็อต

Day 049, orbit 0759 – Another experiment, and another timelapse! This time, I’m working with the Fluid Science Laboratory (FSL), one of the science facilities inside ESA’s Columbus module. The experiment is called PASTA-3 and investigates the formation and evolution of emulsions over time when there is no gravity to interfere. Emulsions are mixtures of two or more liquids that do not usually mix, such as oil and water. During this session, I installed 3 experiment containers 🧪 with new samples inside the FSL. Each PASTA sample has a different concentration of surfactant (an agent that helps liquids mix) and Xanthan Gum in addition to a water and oil mixture. This experiment helps scientists better understand and model the fundamental physics of emulsions. That knowledge has numerous applications on Earth, including: - improving food quality and shelf life (milk 🥛, dough, mayonnaise, candy…), - enhancing the stability and effectiveness of medicines (including vaccines 💉) and cosmetics, - optimising processes in industrial and advanced manufacturing sectors (oil 🛢️, chemicals …). PASTA-3 is one of the 36 European experiments I get to work on during my mission! Go science! (PASTA is short for PArticle STAbilised emulsions experiment.) 📷 European Space Agency / NASA #εpsilon • European Space Agencyspaceflight • International Space Station • NASA_Johnson

This new video, taken by NASA's Parker Solar Probe during its 21st close approach to the Sun, shows a stunning view of the Solar System from inside Mercury’s orbit. It captures solar phenomena like coronal streamers, a small coronal mass ejection, and high-energy particles streaking past the camera. Visible planets include Mercury, Venus, Saturn, Earth, Mars, and Jupiter. A comet, Tsuchinshan-ATLAS, briefly appears with its tail. These observations help us understand how the Sun affects space weather, satellites, astronauts, and Earth’s power grids. Parker Solar Probe is flying closer to the Sun than any spacecraft before it, eventually reaching within 6 million kilometers of the surface. Coronal streamers are bright, plasma-filled structures from the Sun’s outer atmosphere that stretch into space. High-energy particle streaks are due to solar energetic particles hitting the camera, essentially, you're watching radiation in real time. Tsuchinshan-ATLAS is a recently discovered comet, and its tail’s appearance in the video is a rare, spectacular moment. This data is crucial for understanding space weather, which can disrupt communication, GPS, and power systems on Earth.

SpaceX has officially acquired xAI and this is a HUGE deal, probably bigger than most people realize. SpaceX + xAI together are about to build a single, vertically integrated engine that connects AI, rockets, space based internet, and real time information all into one unified system. At the core of this announcement is the fact that AI can’t scale forever on Earth. Think about it. Data centers are already running into hard limits with power, cooling, land, and environmental cost. On top of this, global AI electricity demand is exploding, and doing all of this on the ground just doesn’t scale long term. Therefore Space changes this. In orbit, you can get things like near-constant solar power, you don’t have cooling problems, there’s minimal land/environmental impact, and you can build systems that can run continuously with minimal maintenance. This is why space-based AI is actually very practical and there’s only one company that can do it, which is SpaceX! The scale that SpaceX is aiming for is pretty wild. Elon is talking about 1/ 1 million satellites acting as orbital data centers, and 2/ Launching ~1 million tons of satellites per year Which means 3/ At 100 kW per ton, that’s 100 gigawatts of AI compute every year 4/ And that can scale to 1 terawatt per year. FYI, adding 100 GW of new compute capacity annually in space would be like building out roughly 20-25% of the USA’s total average electricity demand every single year. And scaling to 1 TW/year would exceed the nation’s entire power usage, ALL without burdening Earth’s grids! Bro… this is next level… I repeat, as of today, SpaceX is the ONLY company positioned to do this, especially with Starship - the largest flying vehicle ever. In the future, Elon’s saying the team is going to have Starship launch 200 tons at a time, on an HOURLY basis… WTF?! That’s is absolutely mind boggling. In my opinion, whichever company builds the lowest cost AI compute is going to be the first company that defines the next era of AI, which will all be in space… and my $ is that SpaceX is going to be the first one to do it. Then, when you zoom out even further, this will unlock things most people aren’t even thinking about yet today bc it’s too sci-fi. Like, • Powering lunar bases • In-space propellant transfer • Manufacturing in orbit and on the Moon • Deep-space AI infrastructure using massive solar collectors • Self-growing civilizations on the Moon, Mars, and beyond By tapping into space’s unlimited solar energy, this is how we get to a Kardashev-level civilization! So for SpaceX, the faster Starship progresses, there will be massive new revenue streams and will lead in building out space-based AI infrastructures. For xAI, AI scales without ruining Earth, deeply integrated with everything SpaceX is building, further understanding the universe. For us humans, AI will grow without destroying the planet, and there’s a real path to becoming multi-planetary. I believe SpaceX acquiring xAI is officially the blueprint for where AI, energy, and humanity are headed. Congratulations to everyone, this is such an exciting time to be alive!

NEW: The All-In Podcast praises Elon Musk and SpaceX for successfully catching the massive Starship booster and projects that Starlink could easily surpass 100 million subscribers. "SpaceX has dramatically reduced the costs per kilogram to launch material into low-earth orbit." "Elon's always said that $1000 a kilogram is too high, and his objective is to get the cost down to $10 a kilogram." "It was critical to be able to reuse that heavy booster, and that's what Elon just demonstrated. So you can actually catch that heavy booster, refuel it, and launch it an hour later." "If you can do that over and over again, you're spending $10 a kilogram to put material into space. You can get fuel into space and then get those Starships to fly off to Mars and deliver all this material, including setting up a base that would allow you to actually make more fuel on Mars." "So it's the beginning of the next series of really important milestones that will hopefully get humanity to Mars. It was so amazing to see it come together. The economics are legit. This is like a 1000x reduction in cost." "Starlink is running like 4 million subs right now at $100 a month." "If we can get satellite to phone and Starlink more broadly available, this could be a 100 million subscriber business."

After almost 4 weeks of dev, I've submitted Tiny Skies to #vibejam. I've never launched a multiplayer game before, so I'm a little nervous! Tiny Skies is a cosy little game you can pick up and play whenever you have a few minutes. It's a pretty chill and relaxing game where you can fly around and do stuff like: - play casual capture the flag with other players - shoot paintballs at each other (and at gremlins!) - make package deliveries - race in mini races - catch some fish - drift on a magic carpet - collect jellyfish friends - visit the landmarks of the world as a Capybara - unlock all vehicle options: biplane, magic carpet, or fishing boat (unlockable via multiple playthroughs) - or if you're up for it, figure out how to save the world from impending doom I hope you'll enjoy flying (and boating) around the world and soaking in the vibes! Link to play in the replies 👇

👀USA 325 keeps an eye on COSMOS 2589 as it settles into GEO COSMOS 2589 🇷🇺 (launched last June) spent the past few weeks circularizing its orbit before parking at ~98°E. USA 325 🇺🇸 (GSSAP-6) was watching the whole time. Things got interesting around April 19th when COSMOS 2589 actually drifted past USA 325 mid-maneuver. USA 325 repositioned, and by late April both were sitting at the same longitude. From there, observation passes came twice a day due to their different inclinations. Closest was ~13 km on 1 May, with sun angles lining up nicely for a good look. 3D visualization attached — you can really see how COSMOS 2589 tightened its orbit while USA 325 adjusted to stay in position. This is what GSSAP does: when something new shows up in GEO, they're there to take a look. Analysis via COMSPOC SSASuite.

.delian says Varda Space will ultimately build the first industrial city in orbit. He breaks down how they'll get there: "We want to build the first industrial city in low-Earth orbit. But we're taking it one step at a time. Building out the business, getting great unit economics, proving out one use case at a time." "Generation 1 of what we're building is this two-part spacecraft — satellite and pod. The satellite has all the process equipment. The pod just has the finished good. When we're done, the pod survives, but all that process equipment and everything on board burns up." "Generation 2 will be flying in 2029. Think of it as that heat shield material just envelops everything. So now the satellite plus the pod both survive. That'll probably look like a mini space plane." "By the end of the decade, we'll start to invest into fixed pieces of infrastructure in orbit. Early on they'll probably just look like a satellite with a little docking port. Basically the space plane will come with the raw ingredients and it'll dock with that satellite up in orbit, and exchange them for the fabricated goods. But then we'll have like 10 of those satellites. We'll start to stitch them together, which basically looks like a station." "One day there'll be so many of those pieces of equipment on board that we'll be able to economically justify someone with a wrench to go fix some stuff up there. Once we can economically justify one person with a wrench, we can get ten, one hundred, a thousand."

Elon Musk built a second internet above the first one. Nobody asked him to. Thousands of satellites orbit at 550 kilometers. Moving at 25 times the speed of sound. Talking to each other through lasers in the vacuum of space. Musk: “Thousands of satellites providing low latency, high-speed internet throughout the world.” Before Starlink, satellite internet lived at 36,000 kilometers. Geostationary orbit. Signals traveling a tenth of the way to the moon before bouncing back. The lag made it barely functional. Musk dropped the altitude by 98%. One decision rewrote the physics of an entire industry. But the altitude wasn’t the real play. Musk: “There are laser links between the satellites. It forms a laser mesh. The satellites can communicate between each other and provide connectivity even if the cables are cut.” Every internet connection you’ve ever used runs through cables. Fiber optic lines buried in soil. Dragged across ocean floors. Threaded through chokepoints that every military maps before anything else. A single anchor drop can black out a country. An earthquake can sever a continent. The entire digital world hangs from threads in the mud. Musk built a network that doesn’t touch the ground. No cables. No trenches. No ocean floor. No single point of failure. A constellation of machines whispering to each other through light at the edge of the atmosphere. The men who tried before him weren’t fools. Gates backed Teledesic at the height of Microsoft’s power. Motorola built Iridium with the best engineers alive. Both paid someone else to reach orbit. Both went to zero. Musk owned the rocket. SpaceX made launch reusable. Built the satellites in-house. Flew them on its own rockets. Owned every inch of the chain from factory floor to orbit. That isn’t a cost advantage. It’s a moat no one can cross without first building a rocket company from scratch. Starlink passed 10 million subscribers as a side project. Every telecom executive on Earth watched it happen. Not one of them can explain the architecture underneath. They think he built a better satellite company. He built the only network that survives when the ground gives out. And the ground always gives out.

"The cryptocurrency space is a near-perfect complement to agentic commerce. It's so good. It's like we planned it." Charles Hoskinson joined New Era Finance to explain why crypto and AI agents were made for each other and why combining them creates something neither can do alone. Agents are non-deterministic, tremendously creative, and don't have rules by default. Blockchains are deterministic, rule-based, rigid, and all about proofs and provability. Put these two things together and you get a perfect neural symbolic AI system. The lines that stuck with me: "Agents are non-deterministic, they're tremendously creative, and they just go and do a lot of stuff. And they also don't have rules by default." "Blockchains are deterministic. They're rule-based systems. They're very rigid and everything's about proofs and provability." "If you put these two things together, you basically create a perfect neural symbolic AI system where you get the best of both worlds. Those rigid rules and proofs, but then you get the creativity of it and the ability to deal with ambiguity and semantic drift." "The cryptocurrency space is a near-perfect complement to agentic commerce. It's so good. It's like we planned it." "Given the fact that there's so much revenue being generated within the AI agents, how can the ecosystem make sure that liquidity actually flows into other protocols and drives adoption?" One uncomfortable truth about symbiosis. Five pieces of infrastructure reality reshaping finance. We cover: — Why agents and blockchains need each other — The neurosymbolic AI thesis explained — How agents generate revenue on-chain — Why liquidity flow matters for ecosystem growth — The creative chaos of agents vs rigid rules of code — How blockchains solve agent trust problems — Why this partnership was inevitable — The revenue generation mechanics of agentic commerce — How semantic drift gets solved with cryptography — Building systems where both thrive together Thanks to Charles Hoskinson for coming on New Era Finance Podcast.

"The cryptocurrency space is a near-perfect complement to agentic commerce. It's so good. It's like we planned it." Charles Hoskinson joined New Era Finance to explain why crypto and AI agents were made for each other and why combining them creates something neither can do alone. Agents are non-deterministic, tremendously creative, and don't have rules by default. Blockchains are deterministic, rule-based, rigid, and all about proofs and provability. Put these two things together and you get a perfect neural symbolic AI system. The lines that stuck with me: "Agents are non-deterministic, they're tremendously creative, and they just go and do a lot of stuff. And they also don't have rules by default." "Blockchains are deterministic. They're rule-based systems. They're very rigid and everything's about proofs and provability." "If you put these two things together, you basically create a perfect neural symbolic AI system where you get the best of both worlds. Those rigid rules and proofs, but then you get the creativity of it and the ability to deal with ambiguity and semantic drift."

2K25 -> 2K26 Cross Community Creations Update WWE 2K26 can now browse the live 2K25 Community Creations catalog directly. ✅ Fully working: Custom Images, Shows, Movesets 🟡 Browse + Preview working: MITB, Superstars, Championships At this point the challenge isn’t whether cross-year CC can work, it’s figuring out the differences between each content type so 2K26 knows how to handle them. I’m working through them one by one and building compatibility patches as I go. The goal is still to get every 2K25 CC type downloadable and usable in 2K26. I've already put in over 18 hours reverse-engineering the code in the past 2 days. It's kind of taking a toll on me, so I'm going to take a day off and get back to it tomorrow. #WWE2K26 #WWE2K25 #WWE2K #CommunityCreations

Here are the graphics we made at Intel. I work at Nike innovation now so don’t work on them anymore so not sure all the details for this version but basically we used cameras and computer vision to track each athlete in each lane. Because the cameras were calibrated to specific locations and each frame of video timestamped, we could get distance and time data which you can use to get speed, naturally. Feed the data to a 3D rendered stadium and overlay graphics, and voila. We chose to show speed at the end of each “phase” of the race which I based the location on the data we got from testing and common knowledge of the 100m. So stopping at 30m (drive) and 60 (maintenance) and the end was intentional. Looks like a white label indicates a leader at the end of the phase. The green thing at the front of their label looks to indicate if their are accelerating. This is a bit of a deception because you’re always either accelerating or decelerating. So what it’s actually an indication of is if you’re within a certain percentage of your top speed. The green at the end is graded based on that which is why it’s a gradient. Basically shows that Noah not only has the highest tops speed but holds it best. The final view is everyone’s top speed and where they hit it in the race. It’s freaking wild that Tobago hit his top speed so late.

Eric Schmidt just told Congress the number that kills the AI race on Earth: 92 gigawatts of new power, and we can’t deliver it. Former Google CEO laid out math everyone’s ignoring. Average nuclear plant: 1.5 gigawatts. AI demand: 92 gigawatts. That’s 60+ new nuclear facilities needed now, not decades from now. Schmidt: “We need 92 gigawatts more power.” Not happening. Infrastructure doesn’t exist. Approval takes years. Grid physically can’t absorb it. We’re out of electricity. Schmidt investing in Relativity Space isn’t billionaire space hobby. He spotted the bottleneck killing everything and he’s building the only exit that works. Can’t build power plants on Earth fast enough? Move compute off Earth. Schmidt: “You see the problem.” AI doesn’t hit an algorithm wall or chip shortage. It hits power ceiling. The grid can’t deliver 92 gigawatts at the speed AI development demands. Physically impossible to build that capacity terrestrially in relevant timeframes. Not a grid problem. A location problem. Next phase of compute can’t happen on the surface. Period. Heat, power draw, infrastructure limits, all of it forces migration to orbit. Only place with unlimited energy and zero conflicts is space. Schmidt: “We’re running out of electricity.” Direct assessment from someone watching what’s actually being deployed. The gap separating what AI needs and what Earth can provide is unbridgeable at required speeds. Not technical constraints. Physical reality. His aerospace play isn’t exploration. It’s escape route from a grid approaching collapse under computational demand it was never designed to handle. Scaling AI to the levels every major company is planning requires abandoning the planet. Not eventually. Now. Because the alternative is power walls that stop everything regardless of algorithmic genius or hardware breakthroughs. Doesn’t matter how perfect your models are or how many chips you fabricate if you can’t turn them on. And Earth can’t generate power fast enough for what the next five years require. Space isn’t the ambitious choice anymore. It’s the only choice avoiding hard physics limits on how fast you can deploy power generation on a regulated planetary surface. The AI race doesn’t end when someone builds superior intelligence. It ends when they can’t power it while competitors in orbit operate without energy ceilings. And that’s not distant future. That’s the constraint arriving right now that nobody building exclusively on Earth has an answer for.

$Wendigo movement - WIP Before feedback and some info in bulk: - It's heavily work in progress, including for animations, textures and models. - We know the mouse can take up too much space and can be annoying. We're actually working on it and will probably offer an option to only have the arms (but it looks cool on video, so we're keeping it for now). - Camera movement can be turned off. - Values like the jump are overpowered right now and don't represent the final values. - I know this will be asked: no inverted camera. It looks very cool, but it's really not a feature that's usable gameplay-wise (remember AvP2). - We play a LOT of asymmetrical games (AvP, NS2...) with spider wall movement, so we know our subject here - it's a bit of a "trust us, we know what we're doing" - We're sharing fewer leaks at the moment. It doesn't mean dev has slowed down, it's just for reasons I don't want to share to avoid starting a community war with some other games. - Dev is going very smoothly right now, no delays planned \o/$

EMIBONNIE MOONSHADOW PRESS TOUR #MoonshadowSeries #EmiBonnie 🎤: How has it been working together as partners nowadays? 🧡: Nowadays...? Well, this series is the second project we’re playing with each other. In our first one, I was still kind of... struggling a bit with acting with her, a little stiff, and didn't really dare to do things. But for this series, I feel like I don't overthink at all. I just act, like diving right into it! I feel so comfortable playing with her. Both of us give it our all anyway, so we just jump right in knowing we'll give 100%. 💜: Same here. I feel like... working as a pair is pretty easy for us. When we work together, it's like both of us are ready to give 100% to the project, so there’s really nothing to worry about. 🎤: You guys are in sync now. 💜: That's definitely part of it, yeah. 🎤: Is there anything nowadays where you feel like, "If it's about this, we can just talk directly and be completely honest with each other"? 💜: Honestly, I feel like it comes down to accepting each other's flaws. We can't nitpick every single little thing about each other, right? It's more about adapting, accepting the way she is, and... we both already know we genuinely mean well for each other. There's no bad intentions, we're close. So nowadays, it's just this total sense of comfort. If it's a minor thing, we can just let it slide. But if something bigger comes up, we talk it out. We can always talk to each other. 🧡: Same here. When it comes to work, knowing that she gives her all and I give my all makes sharing ideas so easy. I feel like I can tell her anything about what I want, like, "Should we try it this way?" When it's about work, we share fully. And I really feel like we always meet halfway. We'll be like, "How about this? Or that?" Neither of us is selfish or pushy about getting our own way. 💜: It's more that we don't cross each other's boundaries. We meet halfway, share our thoughts, and then decide on the best path together. 🧡: Yeah! I feel like we share well and give each other space. 💜: Mm, give each other space. 🧡: Space for each person's opinions and ideas. 💜: Yes.
