Ukraine’s First All-Robot Assault Force Just Won Its First Battle | David Axe, Forbes That Ukraine even needs so many unmanned weapons points to a deep manpower shortage. A Ukrainian national guard brigade just orchestrated an all-robot combined-arms operation, mixing crawling and flying drones for an assault on Russian positions in Kharkiv Oblast in northern Russia. “We are talking about dozens of units of robotic and unmanned equipment simultaneously on a small section of the front,” a spokesperson for the 13th National Guard Brigade explained. It was an impressive technological feat—and a worrying sign of weakness on the part of overstretched Ukrainian forces. Unmanned ground vehicles in particular suffer profound limitations, and still can’t fully replace human infantry. That the 13th National Guard Brigade even needed to replace all of the human beings in a ground assault speaks to how few people the brigade has compared to the Russian units it’s fighting. The 13th National Guard Brigade defends a five-mile stretch of the front line around the town of Hlyboke, just south of the Ukraine-Russia border. It’s holding back a force of no fewer than four Russian regiments. That’s no more than 2,000 Ukrainians versus 6,000 or so Russians. The manpower ratio is roughly the same all along the 800-mile front line of Russia’s 34-month wider war on Ukraine. Russian troops still greatly outnumber Ukrainian troops, despite the Russians suffering around twice as many casualties as the Ukrainians since February 2022. The Ukrainian operation involved remote-controlled flying surveillance and minelaying drones, one-way explosive robots on the ground and in the air as well as gun-armed ground ’bots. In what amounted to a smaller-scale proof of concept for the recent combined-arms robot assault, a Ukrainian ground robot cleared a Russian trench in Kursk Oblast in western Russian back in September. Russia has attempted small-scale ground ’bot assaults of its own, but less successfully. The problem, of course, is that while robots are adept at surveilling and attacking, they’re terrible at holding. To hold ground, armies put infantry in trenches. They sit, watch, wait and call for reinforcements when the enemy attacks. It’s tedious, taxing duty that requires constant vigilance. Constant vigilance is difficult when a human operator is remotely observing the battlefield through the sensors of a maintenance-hungry ground robot. Machines break down. And their radio datalinks are highly susceptible to enemy jamming, as the California think-tank RAND discovered when it gamed out a clash between hypothetical U.S. (“Blue”) and Russian (“Red”) army battalions partially equipped with armed ground drones. “Blue’s ability to operate was degraded significantly by Red’s jammers,” RAND concluded. It’s not clear the 13th National Guard Brigade even tried to hold the Russian positions it cleared in the all-robot attack. Read more:

🚨Former Israeli Peace Negotiator Daniel Levy: ‘Israel is on a SUGAR HIGH of death and destruction, it’s not clear to me Zionism can RE-INVENT itself.’ ‘America may be feeling less pain, but America’s threshold for pain, certainly when it’s economic and it translates into political, is significantly less than it is for others. And this is where this question of how Netanyahu will respond is where it looks like many of us maybe used to watch cartoons, where the cartoon character goes off the edge of a cliff and then they stay in motion until they look down and then they’ve got nowhere to go, they can’t go back. And it feels like Israel may be going on that journey, that it has simply gone too far. The question for many is, well, why isn’t there an establishment inside Israel that’s stopping this? And that’s why I’ve tried to suggest that it’s not just Netanyahu, the country has gone off on this sugar high of death and destruction, that all that, all that was built up for decades has now come into play.’ Afshin Rattansi: ‘So would it unilaterally attack even after Trump saying no?’ Levy: ‘This is where you bump into the reality that America has tremendous leverage over Israel. And so I think if America wants this to stop, just as it has in Lebanon said enough. Although Israel is still physically inside Lebanese territory, it’s still ceasefire Israeli-style, which means you still kill the other side. But I think if America says stop, then Israel stops. But the question is, has Israel given itself an alternative path to pursue, or are we seeing that actual existing Zionism as practised by the State of Israel has nowhere to go now? And either you radically rethink what is the future for the Israeli Jewish community, not in a regime of an ethnostate, but as some kind of normal way of interacting with those in its midst. That is a very different future. And, it’s not clear to me that the project, the Zionist project, can reinvent itself.’ Watch the full interview in the quoted post below👇

Elon Musk just weaponized gravity. The entire trucking industry has a physics leak bleeding billions. Musk just sealed it. Most people look at the Tesla Semi and see a cleaner diesel. A truck that swapped a gas tank for a battery. That is a complete misread of the physics. Musk: “Let’s say you’re going over a mountain range. In a diesel truck, you actually don’t capture the energy of height or potential energy.” For a century, freight has fought gravity twice on every mountain. A diesel truck burns thousands of dollars in fuel clawing its way to the peak. It arrives at the summit loaded with enormous gravitational potential energy. And what does it do with that energy? It throws it away as heat. Musk: “You have to actually spend a lot of money on expensive brakes going down the other side so you don’t run out of control.” Diesel burns twice. Fuel going up. Hardware coming down. A century of logistics, and the descent was never anything but a cost to be survived. The Tesla Semi doesn’t survive the descent. It harvests it. Musk: “An electric semi truck is able to recapture the gravitational potential energy and in fact puts the energy back in the pack.” Regenerative braking doesn’t just slow the truck. It converts 80,000 pounds of downhill momentum into raw electricity flowing back into the battery. The mountain stops being an obstacle. It becomes a power plant. Here is the thermodynamic reality the market is missing. Diesel is closed on the descent. There is no version of a combustion engine that turns downhill momentum back into liquid fuel. It is structurally impossible. Electric is open in both directions. The same system that spends energy to climb gets paid on the way down. Wall Street keeps pricing the Tesla Semi on a cost-per-mile comparison. Kilowatts versus gallons. They are solving the wrong equation. You cannot win a price war against a machine that bills the planet for its own fuel.

This is WILD! MIT just solved one of the hardest unsolved problems in robotics (Save this). For decades, the fundamental problem with soft robots and wearable exoskeletons has not been compute or AI, it has been actuation. The moment you try to give a soft robot meaningful strength, you run into the same wall every engineer has hit since the field began, fluid-driven systems require external pumps, hydraulic reservoirs, and heavy infrastructure that makes the entire thing impractical to wear or embed into fabric. MIT's new Electrofluidic Fiber Muscles solve that problem by eliminating external infrastructure entirely. The key insight is electrohydrodynamic pumping using electric fields to generate pressure directly from electricity, with no moving parts, no motors, and no external fluid reservoir. The fibers are less than 2 millimeters thick, can be woven into fabric like ordinary textile, and operate in complete silence because nothing physically moves inside them, it is just ions propelling fluid through a closed circuit. The performance numbers published in Science Robotics are not conceptual, they are empirical results from actual hardware. These fibers achieve a power density of 50 watts per kilogram, matching skeletal muscle, with a contraction strain of 20% and a response time of 0.3 seconds. A single bundled configuration lifted 4 kilograms, 200 times its own weight while a separate configuration drove a robotic arm through a 40-degree bend compliant enough to safely complete a human handshake. Another configuration launched objects in under 100 milliseconds, which is faster than a human flinch reflex. The design mirrors biological muscle architecture in a way that prior artificial muscle approaches never achieved. The fibers are organized into antagonistic pairs, one contracts while the other extends, exactly like biceps and triceps and because the system runs in a closed loop, the relaxing fiber serves as the fluid reservoir for the contracting one, which is what allows the whole system to operate untethered with no external tank. The applications are not hypothetical but rather are the exact use cases the industry has been waiting years for the hardware to catch up to. Exoskeletons for physical labor, prosthetic limbs that move with the natural compliance of biological tissue, assistive garments for patients with motor disorders, and soft robots capable of safe physical contact with humans are all immediately unlocked by a muscle technology that is silent, lightweight, and weavable into clothing. The deeper significance is what this technology does when it meets the AI robotics wave that is already underway. Every major humanoid robot program, Figure, 1X, Boston Dynamics, Tesla Optimus is currently bottlenecked by the same hardware limitations these fibers address, actuators that are too rigid, too loud, too heavy, or too dependent on infrastructure to operate naturally alongside humans. Electrofluidic fiber muscles do not just solve a materials science problem but rather they remove one of the last physical barriers between robots that live in labs and robots that live in the world.

In the heart of the Lone Star State, where the spirit of independence runs as deep as the Rio Grande, stands a grocery empire that’s more than just a store—it’s a Texas legend. H-E-B, born in Kerrville back in 1905 from the humble dreams of Florence Butt, has grown into a powerhouse with over 400 locations, all fiercely loyal to its Texas roots. But don’t let the friendly facade fool you; this is the champion that’s gone toe-to-toe with the retail behemoth Walmart and come out swinging. Picture this: dusty Texas plains under a vast blue sky, with old-school pickup trucks rolling into H-E-B parking lots, folks in cowboy boots grabbing fresh tortillas and locally sourced brisket. While Walmart floods the market with its mega-stores and rock-bottom prices, H-E-B fights back with something Walmart can’t buy—Texas soul. They’ve got their own brands like Hill Country Fare that undercut the giants, meal deals that make family dinners affordable, and a commitment to communities that shines brightest in tough times. Remember Hurricane Harvey? H-E-B trucks were delivering supplies before federal aid even arrived, earning them the nickname “Texas’s FEMA.” Walmart may have the size, but H-E-B has the grit. They’ve expanded smart, staying true to Texas while innovating with curbside pickup, organic sections, and even their own breweries. It’s a battle of corporate might versus local pride, and in Texas, we know who we’re rooting for. Don’t mess with Texas—or its groceries. H-E-B isn’t just shopping; it’s a way of life, proving that in the land of big dreams, the home team always wins.

“Bill Maher and Salman Rushdie Clash Over Islam: “There’s Been a Deadly Mutation” Bill Maher: Turkey's President said, "Women are not equal to men, our religion has defined position for women, motherhood." I can't imagine a Western government leader saying that. What we've said all along, and have been called bigots for it, is when there's this many bad apples, there's something wrong with the orchard. Salman Rushdie: There's been a deadly mutation in the middle of Islam. This is not a random mutation. Governments from the Sunni side, the Saudi government; on the Shia side, the Iranian government have been putting fortunes of money into making sure that extremist mullahs are preaching in mosques around the world, building schools in which a whole generation is being educated in extremism. But in a way, we're a side show. This is a project to seize power in the Islamic world. Whether it's the Taliban, ISIS, Boko Haram, or Al-Shabaab, what they're trying to do is create a mindset which allows them to conquer the world of Islam. Paul Begala: That's critical for Americans to realize. It's not about us. The real fight is not Islam versus the West, it's within Islam. It's between the terrorists and the tolerant. It's between Al-Qaeda and Malala. Kirsten Powers: Yeah, but it is Americans who are being beheaded by ISIS right now. Bill Maher: There should be a distinction, because obviously the vast majority of Muslims would never do anything like this. But they share bad ideas. Sam Harris said, "Islam is the mother lode of bad ideas," and everyone went fucking nuts, but it is! These two guys who shot up the cartoonist the other day were revenging the prophet. A bad idea! Martyrdom, a bad idea! Women as second-class citizens, a bad idea! And unfortunately, the terrorists and the mainstream share a lot of these bad ideas.
