Static electricity can lift a tiny bug wing from a foil-wrapped pyramid with a hole in its base, and even from a hand. Shapes matter: edges concentrate charge,surfaces guide fields, & geometry dictates lift location. The body triggers it. What other shaping forces we can’t see?

Vice President Harris: Faith is a verb. It is something that manifests itself in our actions, our deeds, and our service. Our strength is not based on who we beat down. It is based on who we lift up. That's not what we see from the other side in this election

What happens when you change the hand mid-task? We tested this by modifying the hands mid-rollout and letting the same model keep running. It perceives the new tool, and finds a new trajectory and contact strategy to complete the task. This works because training on mixed data forces the model to condition its behavior on the hand in front of it. This brings it closer to a general understanding of how shapes and contact surfaces interact with the physical world – and which actuation strategy should follow.

The Torus Becomes the Canvas A Jacobi Theta Function lives naturally on a complex torus. Instead of drawing it on a flat plane, we wrapped the mathematics onto the torus. The surface is driven by θ₁(z|τ), with its moving zeros, phase winding, and logarithmic derivative shaping the colour, seams, and raised divisor points across the geometry. What you are see is a periodic quantum-like field painted onto the space where it actually belongs. #JacobiTheta #ComplexTorus #MathematicalArt #ComplexAnalysis #RiemannSurfaces #MathAnimation

THE ETERNAL DANCE OF THE COSMOS Electricity and magnetism are the two primal forces that render our universe into existence. From the invisible field of the Aether emerges polarity. Polarity creates tension. Tension creates oscillation. Oscillation creates vibration. Vibration expresses itself as frequency—and frequency determines form. Look at nature. Every living species exists within a precise temperature range. Every geometric structure is the result of balance and symmetry—one side reflecting the other. Polarity maintains this equilibrium: every action has a response, every ebb has a flow, every positive seeks its negative counterpart. When this balance becomes disturbed, current moves to restore equilibrium, just as water flows from a mountain peak into the valley, from high pressure to low pressure. From the cells within your body to the cells of a battery, this is the foundation of electrical movement. But electricity requires a guide. That guide is magnetism. Magnetic fields provide the pathways through which electrical currents organize, shaping movement through patterns of wave geometry. As electrical energy transitions from counterspace into space, it moves through phases of expression, from plasma, to gas, to liquid, to solid. Through this process, electricity continually contracts and expands between opposing pressures. The rate of oscillation determines the geometric pattern that emerges. The Platonic solids—the fundamental geometries underlying material structure—are expressions of standing waves composed of nodes and antinodes, where points, edges, and faces emerge from harmonic relationships. The tension between these pressures determines temperature, color, geometry, and density. Through the eternal dance of compression and expansion, vibration and oscillation, energy organizes itself into atoms, molecules, matter, and the structures of the cosmos. To understand electricity and magnetism is to understand the architecture of reality itself. ✨🙌🏾💫

Hands are as important as the brain. From Shenzhen, Stella Robot has unveiled the PANTHEON HAND 22:a new generation of bionic dexterous hand that combines 22 degrees of freedom with remarkable strength and finesse. It’s a hand that truly understands precision. It can lift 30 kilograms, yet is delicate enough to thread a needle.Each finger can bear 1.5 kilograms, and the entire hand can gently hold a piece of tofu or sense the subtle expansion of a balloon. Powered by a tendon-driven mechanism with integrated actuators inside the forearm, it achieves compact design and natural, human-like movement. From precision assembly and component handling to material transport and human-robot collaboration,the PANTHEON HAND 22 shows what it means for humanoid robots to truly work with their hands.

Lightning Rod will close for the season on October 30 so we can replace its existing launch system with a high-speed chain lift. This change will give even more of you an opportunity to ride it – we know it’s been frustrating to see it temporarily closed so often.

I know what its like to feel hopeless. But thankfully, with leadership from Ron DeSantis, Casey DeSantis and countless law enforcement & religious leaders from around the state we can give some of our most vulnerable a hand up through Hope Florida.

Important Notice for All Flat Owners and Buildings with Lifts Note: One person tried to carry an electric vehicle battery home to charge it. He didn’t realize that if the battery is taken in a lift, the static electricity can cause it to explode. EV batteries are NOT allowed in lifts. Please inform all security staff in every housing society/building that carrying electric vehicle batteries inside lifts is strictly prohibited.

Andrew Huberman explains why we don’t experience reality exactly as it is. Our brains are constantly building an abstraction of the world from the limited information our senses can detect. We can’t see infrared. We can’t hear every frequency. And even what we do perceive is filtered and interpreted by the brain. What if our perception of reality is only a tiny piece of the bigger picture?

TerraNova CEO Laurence Allen on how his tank-sized robots quietly lift entire cities out of flood zones without demolishing anything: "Our robots are about the weirdest robots you've heard of. They're the size of a car. They look like a tank. They're basically a giant pump on tracks." "You have this big injection pump, and you park it right next to a well you've drilled to 30 to 60 feet. That pump is fed by a big lay-flat hose that runs from a parking lot 1,000 feet away with a slurry of wood." "What you get is you can very rapidly provide a ton of volume underground. You use that volume to lift land at acre scale, city scale. It's the first way you can lift land from the subsurface." "It's very similar to what you'd see with autonomous excavator robots, except you're lifting all the infrastructure and everything currently in place, instead of demolishing it, filling it, and rebuilding it." Laurence Allen

Volume warning: Someone said something about refueling on NVGs, here is another video I shot of our CH-53Es refueling off the African coast. This time from the POV of the C-130s we get fuel from. A few things to point out: the flash of light you see when they connect is static electricity. The helicopters make a shit ton of it. You can also see the engines working harder as they lift up once they are plugged in. This was under a moonless night, with basically no cultural lighting. This is literally by starlight only. So the night vision goggles are working extremely hard here.

I received a text from Erin in BC about what access to free birth control meant to her. So we jumped on a call. To her free birth control is about Bodily Autonomy and it's an issue of Canadian Identity. I agree. It's the NDPs vision of who we are and what it means to be Canadian. Caring. Kind. Compassionate. A country where we lift each other up - not tear each other down.

Today's game from Justin Crawford is what fans can expect to see from the CF. Puts ball in play, gets on base, steals bases, goes the other way a lot. It will be unorthodox. It won't fit the mold of analytic driven baseball. #Phillies

CNN chief law enforcement and intel analyst John Miller’s first reaction to the ICE officer’s cellphone video.... “Well, what stands out is a, it’s another angle that makes it helpful to start with. B, it’s the closest thing that we are going to have in all likelihood, to the near equivalent of a body cam for this officer because he’s not wearing a body cam. He’s shooting this with his phone handheld in one hand. He gives us a full 360 degree walk around the car, and as Chuck Ramsey said, you know, the first person seems to be saying, I’m not mad at you. And the second person saying, we don’t wear masks and we don’t change plates, and we’ll see you later. Not a highly tense situation, but at this moment here on the other side, they’re saying, out of the car, out of the car. Those are other agents, and then you see the car go into gear. It sounds like the car strikes the agent. We can’t see that because we know from the other angle two things are happening right then. Number one, the hand with the phone is going down, and number two, the hand with the gun is coming up. So, and it appears from that that angle that he takes these shots with one hand. So, I think we learned a lot from this video. Part of what we learned is we can’t make factual assumptions only from the other videos. You really have to look at all of them and come to some collective forensic judgment with those comparisons.”
