This only gets better. The same RCMP officer that emailed me below saying I was confused about Level 2 vs Level 3 gave an interview on CTV News Vancouver proudly proclaiming that FSD is illegal, and that just because you talk to your friends or talk on social media about it and that it is available, doesn’t make it legal (or safe) and that we should “do some research into the law.” Respectfully sir, you are the one that needs to do the research to ensure you are enforcing the laws appropriately. Tesla’s FSD is SAE Level 2, which is FULLY LEGAL to use in BC - with due care and attention.

"Nothing changes anything. It has to do with what's available out there. Does it help us this year? Does it help us next year? Usually, as it gets closer, you get an idea of who's real and who's not. We will evaluate that for the short term and long term." Kyle Shanahan on whether the 49ers will be active during the trade deadline amid the injuries

🚨 SCIENTISTS JUST TOOK A MAJOR STEP TOWARD ATOM-BY-ATOM MANUFACTURING. Using a scanning tunneling microscope, researchers have demonstrated programmable, positionally controlled placement of carbon fragments onto a hydrogen-passivated silicon surface building precise carbon chains and even complex “X” shapes with yields up to 97% for adjacent units. This is not random chemistry or spray-and-pray methods. It’s targeted, repeatable mechanosynthesis at the atomic scale. Why this matters: For decades, atomically precise manufacturing has been a holy grail of nanotechnology. This work shows we can now pick up individual molecular building blocks, place them exactly where we want, and grow structured carbon architectures step by step. The deeper implication is staggering: We may be watching the early days of true molecular manufacturing the ability to build matter atom by atom, on demand. This could eventually transform everything from materials science to medicine, energy storage, and even age-reversal technologies. The dream of programmable matter is no longer pure science fiction. What happens when we can routinely construct complex molecular structures with atomic precision? Follow for more frontier physics and future technology.

Karpathy's Agentic Engineering finally has proper tooling! (built by Google) Karpathy defined agentic engineering as the discipline that separates production agent work from vibe coding. The core skills he listed were spec design, eval loops, and security oversight. The problem has been that practicing this still requires a different tool for every phase: - editor for code - a terminal for scaffolding - a browser for testing - a cloud console for deployment - and a separate framework for evals. Every transition is a context switch. The solution to production-grade Agentic Engineering is now actually implemented in Google’s Agents CLI. It covers the entire workflow in one place for scaffolding, evaluating, and deploying ADK agents. One setup command injects 7 ADK-specific skills into a coding agent's context, which lets it handle scaffolding, evals, deployment, and enterprise registration through natural language. I tested this end-to-end by building a RAG agent from scratch using Claude Code. It scaffolded the full project from the ADK agentic_rag template, generated 20 eval scenarios with LLM-as-judge scoring, and returned a quantitative scorecard. Finally, it also deployed everything to Agent Runtime and registered the agent to Gemini Enterprise, so the entire org can discover and use it. The video below shows this in action, and I worked with the Google Cloud team to put this together. Agents CLI GitHub repo → (don't forget to star it ⭐ ) I wrote up the full build covering all six steps from install to enterprise registration. It includes the eval scorecard, the instruction loophole the eval caught before deployment, and what the deployment process actually looks like end-to-end. Read it below.

Replit, Vercel, and OpenAI have built very cool agent-native applications, but nobody else has passed the demo stage. Building agents that work is complex. Teams aren't shipping agents because we don't have good tooling yet (and most of us don't know how to do this well.) A couple of days ago, the CopilotKit🪁 team announced a collaboration with . You can now use LangGraph with CoAgents to build agent-native applications, and here is everything you need to know about that: CoAgents is fully open-source, and you can use it to do the following: • Human-in-the-loop to steer and correct the agent • Stream intermediate agent state • Real-time state sharing between the agent and the application • Agentic generative UI to build trust that the agent is on the right path Start this GitHub Repository: Thanks to the team for giving me early access and collaborating with me on this post.

Hunter Biden is now active on X trying to rebrand himself as all about love, gratitude, and recovery. But when challenged, his true colors come out — getting defensive with strong language and telling critics to “say that to my face.” His posts are blowing up for obvious reasons. Recovery is important and worth supporting, but using it as a cloak for past crimes while dodging real accountability isn’t redemption. The pardon may keep him out of jail, but it doesn’t erase the sins or the damage. If he truly wants redemption, he should face legal consequences for his actions. What do you think his legal sentence should be? (Video: AI)

Video diffusion models have strong implicit representations of 3D shape, material, and lighting, but controlling them with language is cumbersome, and control is critical for artists and animators. GenLit connects these implicit representations with a continuous 5D control signal describing the direction and intensity of a point light source. This enables single-image near-field relighting of an image using a video diffusion model. We use a ControlNet-like approach and show that, with a small amount of synthetic data, GenLit generalizes to complex real-world images. Given a single image and the 5D lighting signal, GenLit creates a video of a moving light source that is inside the scene. It moves around and behind scene objects, producing effects such as shading, cast shadows, secularities, and interreflections with a realism that is hard to obtain with traditional inverse rendering methods. GenLit shows that it is possible to get continuous control over implicit physical processes within a video model. I think this is just the beginning and promises to make such models much more practical for creators. Shrisha Bharadwaj will present today at SIGGRAPH Asia Room: S423/S424, Level 4 @ 13:50 on 15 of Dec.

two weeks in Shenzhen and it’s an been eye-opening experience im here for a month with MIT SCALE and the speed of hardware production is easily 10× faster than sf. from product concept to production, everything is streamlined within a single building. Nearly every component you could need is available immediately thru Taobao(e bay of China) or HQB and there are 24/7 makerspaces equipped to build anything from micrometer-scale PCBs to full assembly-line robots. What’s striking is that Shenzhen already has much of the hardware and robotics that startups in sf are still trying to build except these systems have been deployed and operating for years. The manufacturing capability, supply chain depth, and technical execution here are world-class. That said, one gap keeps surfacing: brand design, storytelling, and cohesive user experience. Software polish, UX consistency, and attention to detail often feel secondary. Take this with a grain of salt, but it increasingly feels like the company that pairs Shenzhen-level hardware velocity with strong design sensibility and UX-first thinking will dominate the market.

🚨 SCIENTISTS FINALLY FIGURED OUT WHY GOLD NEVER TARNISHES AND IT’S ALL ABOUT ATOM GEOMETRY. Gold stays perfectly shiny for centuries while silver dulls, copper turns green, and iron rusts. For decades, no one could explain exactly why. Now researchers at Tulane University have cracked it using quantum simulations. When gold is cut, its surface atoms don’t stay still. They rearrange into a stable hexagonal pattern. This specific geometry makes it extremely difficult for oxygen molecules to split and react with the metal requiring far more energy than other arrangements. Why this matters: • Gold’s famous inertness is not just chemical it’s geometric • The hexagonal “reconstruction” of atoms creates a protective barrier at the atomic level • This explains why gold is so resistant to tarnishing and corrosion • It also shows why gold is normally a poor catalyst but could become an excellent one if we force atoms into different patterns The deeper implication is enormous: We are learning that the behavior of materials at the atomic scale is controlled by geometry as much as chemistry. By understanding and controlling this atomic rearrangement, scientists could finally make gold a powerful catalyst for clean chemistry while keeping its legendary shine for jewelry and electronics. What other “eternal” properties of materials might actually come down to tiny patterns of atoms? Follow for more frontier physics and materials science.

Faith in humanity is a rational hope that, by choosing the path of reason and compassion, it can overcome its own limits and rise to the level of a mature civilization. : The author defines faith in humanity as a rational hope grounded in reality rather than wishful thinking. It is the conviction that by consciously choosing the path of reason and compassion, humanity can overcome its own limitations and rise to the level of a mature civilization. This faith acknowledges our flaws selfishness, short-sightedness, tribalism but refuses to accept them as permanent. It trusts in our demonstrated capacity for growth, learning, and moral progress. Reason gives us the tools to understand and solve problems; compassion gives us the motivation to use those tools for the benefit of all. When these two forces work together, they become a powerful transformative current capable of reshaping societies, institutions, and human relations. Faith in humanity is therefore not passive belief but an active orientation a commitment to build, to improve, and to aspire higher, even when the path is difficult. It is the quiet but firm assertion that we are not doomed to repeat the mistakes of the past. We can do better, and we should.

🚨#BREAKING: Bath & Body Works candles have been recalled and removed from stores amid concerns over their resemblance to KKK imagery 📌#Unitedstates | #USA Bath & Body Works has issued an apology to its customers over the design of one of its candles, which featured a white paper-cutout snowflake with arms that had pointed tips and two circular holes. Some online commenters noted that the design resembled KKK hoods, leading to the recall and removal of some candles from stores due to these concerns. While the company stated the resemblance was ‘unintentional,’ the three-wick candle, scented with ‘creamy buttermint, sweet musk, and cozy vanilla,’ is no longer available on Bath & Body Works’ website. However, it is currently being sold on reseller sites, with one eBay listing asking $350 for the ‘Snowed In’ candle, while others range between $75 to $175.

As a 28-year-old Georgian citizen who has been politically active for over eight years, and as someone who has organized, participated in, or witnessed nearly every type of protest movement in the past decade, I can confidently say that I have never seen anything like this in Georgia before. The streets of Tbilisi are flooded daily. People are self-organizing, with various professional and community groups marching day and night. Rivers of protesters pass each other on the avenues, workers are pausing their jobs to greet one another, and the energy is electric. This unprecedented level of rejection and defiance, despite widespread intimidation, is something we have never experienced before. This is precisely why we need strong and decisive actions from our strategic partners. We need severe financial sanctions on every member of the Georgian Dream party and their cronies. Their children and family members should no longer be allowed to continue living or studying in Europe and the United States while our freedoms are being stripped away. The time for action is now. #GeorgianProtests
