This amazing video captured by Bertie Gregory features a rare top angle drone shot of a cheetah in full sprint. From this perspective, you can see how its spine works like a massive spring, stretching and contracting to cover over seven meters in a single stride. Unlike other cats,...

A cheetah hitting a sharp turn at high speed should logically skid out, but it doesn't. The secret is the tail. This muscular rudder acts as a high-speed stabilizer. By whipping it in the opposite direction of a turn, the cheetah creates counter-torque to balance its center of mass. This allows for rapid pivots while semi-retractable claws provide permanent, spike boots-like traction. It’s pure biomechanics using physics to manage angular momentum. While we build supercars with active spoilers, nature perfected this steering millions of years ago. VC: Lemurt Wildlife #wildlife #nature #predator #cheetah #biomechanics

🐆 The illegal wildlife trade is threatening cheetah populations in Somaliland. While stronger laws and enforcement in the Middle East have reduced demand for cheetahs, cubs are still being stolen from the wild under the false belief that a market still exists. These cubs, often taken for use as exotic pets or for entertainment, face long, brutal journeys. Most don’t survive the trip, making this a cruel and collapsing trade 💔. According to the Cheetah Conservation Fund, around 300 cubs are illegally captured and smuggled each year from Ethiopia, northern Kenya, Somalia, and Somaliland. Major Zuhuur Fathi Mukhtar of the Somaliland Coast Guard is calling on governments, organizations, and individuals to step up and protect cheetahs and their habitats for generations to come. 🛑 You can help stop the trade by reporting wildlife crime or suspicious activity to the Somaliland Coast Guard: 📞 063 4455000 #WildAfrica #Somaliland #StopWildlifeCrime #CheetahConservation #ProtectWildlife

A viral footage from Gaza is highlighting a critical reality of modern warfare. In the video, fighters from Al-Qassam Brigades are seen targeting a Merkava tank using a close-range explosive device. Reports suggest the use of a “Shawaz” IED, believed to function like an Explosively Formed Penetrator (EFP) designed to penetrate armored vehicles by focusing explosive energy into a high-speed metal jet. Despite advanced protection systems and surveillance, even modern tanks can be vulnerable at close range, especially in dense urban environments. This incident shows how low-cost, improvised weapons can challenge high-tech military systems. It’s a reminder that in today’s conflicts, strategy and positioning can matter as much as technology. #iran #IranWar #HamasIsISIS #Israel #GazaHumanitarianCrisis #GazaCrisis

Elon Musk just stripped away every emotional narrative around paralysis and reduced it to a pure engineering equation. The human nervous system is not mystical. It is a biological wiring grid. When a wire breaks, you build a bypass. Traditional medicine treats a severed spinal cord as a permanent biological endpoint. Musk treats it as a broken routing switch. Musk: “It’s basically a communications bridge. You bridge the communications from the motor cortex past the point in the neck or spine where the nerves are damaged.” Not a miracle. Not a mystery. A bridge. Musk: “It is possible from a physics standpoint to restore full body functionality. There is nothing that prevents it happening from a physics standpoint.” The physics already check out. This is not a question of possibility. It is a question of execution speed. We are building AGI by mastering computational physics in silicon. Neuralink is applying that same mastery to carbon. The human body is not a sacred text. It is a machine. And machines can be patched. But this is bigger than medicine. Humanity’s ability to interface with superintelligence is currently bottlenecked by thumbs typing on a glass screen. Neuralink is the solution to that constraint dressed as a medical device. If you can bridge the brain past a broken spine, you can bridge the brain to a data center. Healing the paralyzed is step one. Merging with superintelligence is the endgame. Musk: “It’s a very hard technical problem, right, but there is nothing that prevents it happening from a physics standpoint.” Somewhere right now, a person is sitting in a wheelchair. An engineer is sitting in a lab. Neither knows the other exists. But one of them is quietly rewriting the definition of permanent. And it isn’t the one in the wheelchair.

Russ Tamblyn (in the blue shirt) and Tommy Rall (in the red) lead the acrobatics in this section of the “Barn Raising” number from “Seven Brides for Seven Brothers” (1954). Michael Kidd was responsible for the choreography. The cast rehearsed for three weeks in order to get the intricate choreography of this sequence down. It was during one of these rehearsals that Russ Tamblyn wandered over to the set along with Jeff Richards (who played Benjamin Pontipee) to see how the scene was coming along. “Michael Kidd called me over and said, ‘Rusty, somebody told me that you’re a good tumbler, that you can do some flips’,” said Tamblyn in a 2004 interview. “So I did a back flip for him. ‘Fantastic!’ he said. ‘We’ll put it in a number.’ I told him I really wasn’t a dancer, except for some tap dancing. But he said, ‘Listen, this is just like square dancing. All you have to do is lift your legs high. You can do a lot of acrobatic stuff. It’s perfect.’ That’s how I became a dancer in Seven Brides.”

This was such a close call that all simulations on it resulted in a crash [and would have likely been one of the worst in history had it been so] August 9 1978: Olympic Airways Flight 411, a B-747 with 418 aboard, had a near miss over Athens (Greece). Due to crew actions on takeoff, engine thrust was reduced drastically. The jet lost significant altitude and speed: it flew as low as 153 ft and at a speed of 158 kts before the crew recovered. Boeing inquiry stated the jet lost power after crew mistakenly turned off the engine´s water injection system, reducing thrust, which led to a loss of altitude and speed that put the plane near an irrecoverable stall. To get an idea of how close this came to a major disaster (a 747 loaded with fuel going down in a major city), all of Boeing´s simulations of the scenarios presented in the flight resulted in a crash. Video is an excerpt from an analysis by Mentour Pilot, well worth a check – you can see the full video on the link here

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.

Detection. Something very important in a game like this. There are several ways to approach this mechanic and we started basic. The NPCs have a “cone” of vision in front of them, and depending on how closer you are to the middle of that cone and also how close you are to the front of the NPC, the faster you are detected. It isn’t perfect, by any stretch of the imagination, but it is working and serves it’s purpose. As we advance in development this will both evolve and be refined from its current “primitive” state. Surprisingly hard to get something working that actually feels both fair and fun! I’d love to eventually have them “look” from their eyesight, so height matters. Ignore the ground flashing, unity editor is weird like that.

Today marks the start of China’s annual Spring Festival travel rush, known as Chunyun. Over the next 40 days, the railway system is projected to handle 539 million trips, making it the largest periodic human migration in history. For at least three millennia, the Spring Festival has been China’s most significant holiday. “Going home for the family reunion” has become a deeply ingrained cultural expectation. About a quarter of China’s population consists of floating residents who live or work outside their registered hometowns, often in other cities or provinces. For them, rail travel is the preferred option, given that nearly every Chinese city with over 200k residents is connected by rail, not to mention the advantages of speed, affordability, and frequent services. The Spring Festival travel rush poses severe challenges to China’s public transportation system, especially its high-speed rail system. In 2008, a rare snowstorm hit the typically mild southern regions during the holiday, stranding 400k people at Guangzhou station for 11 days. This incident underscored the urgency for the government to accelerate high-speed rail development. Since then, China’s high-speed rail network has drawn lessons from daily operations, refining timetables and introducing new trains to prioritize safety, punctuality, and comfort. Today, amid hundreds of millions of passengers, the on-time rate during Chunyun reaches 99%, with no major accidents reported. In reality, China’s high-speed rail program started late and lacked any initial global advantages. During a visit to Japan in 1978, then China’s top leader-to-be Deng Xiaoping boarded Shinkansen and expressed admiration for the bullet train, remarking that it “urges China to run faster.” It took another 30 years for China to launch its first high-speed rail line, connecting the capital Beijing to Tianjin, with a distance comparable to New York to Philadelphia. By the end of 2025, China’s high-speed rail mileage exceeds twice the combined total of all other countries, enough to circle the equator 1.25 times. This expanded network meets the demands of a growing number of passengers, supported by features like mobile apps and real-name ticketing, which have put an end to the need to queue overnight at ticket counters as was routine decades ago. However, during Chunyun’s peak periods—such as the first and last days of the holiday—travelers still need to snap up tickets swiftly. Thus, for longer distances, many choose flights; others prefer the greater flexibility of self-driving, which has become the primary mode of transportation.

"Speed wins." "You have to be willing to commit to being fast. You can't have long bureaucratic processes. You can't have a risk-averse posture." Marc Andreessen 🇺🇸 explains the OODA loop and why speed defines the narrative: "There's a framework called the OODA loop, originally developed for fighter pilots and later for broader military strategy." "It stands for observe, orient, decide, act. It's basically the decision-making cycle." "If speed is the thing that matters, then the person who gets through that cycle the fastest is the one who's going to win." "If you can have a sustainably faster OODA loop processing cycle than the next guy — think about what happens… You operate and make a decision within an hour. The other guy is still inside his own OODA loop when you make your decision. He's only halfway through his process and now has to start over. You've changed the parameters of what's going on." "This is also a big explanation for what's happened in traditional media." "The New York Times has its own OODA loop, and it's like 24 hours to go through its process."

Ok, so here’s the one that has caught my attention and I haven’t seen anyone talking about it. DOW-UAP-PR061, "SPHERICAL UAP [CALLSIGN] 2021/04/12 VID 0" I’ve clipped this video and slowed it to half speed to highlight what I find most interesting. At around the 0:33 mark (3:50 in the original linked in the comments), you can see the object dives down along the cliff face, then circles towards a structure that may or may not be natural in the shadow of the cliff. You can clearly see the shadow created by the object projected on the ground, so this isn’t a sensor artifact. Lacking a frame of reference, it’s difficult to estimate the speed or size of the object. The video was captured by a “U.S. military platform,” so most likely a recon drone. The MQ-9 typically cruises at 30,000 feet which is pretty much the only information we have unless someone can identify the topography. The intelligent maneuvering in the descent appears to rule out a balloon being the explanation. And while it seems based on the topological features that this is too large and moving too fast too consistently to be a bird, that can’t be ruled out until someone is able to geolocate the video. And yes, I know what pareidolia is as far as the circled feature on the cliff face, but I thought the straight lines and 90° angles were worth noting. Anyone have thoughts on this one? Stay curious.

Happy Father's Day! Please let the GPT-4o video interface be a recurring reminder: Without speed limits on the rate at which AI systems can observe and think about humans, human beings are very unlikely to survive. Perhaps today as many of us reflect on our roles as parents to protect our children, it's a good time to ponder over the profound speed disadvantage we humans may soon face relative to thinking machines. Physical machines have lots of speed limits, like for cars, airplanes, and drones. Cyberspace needs speed limits too. Why? In 2-3 years from now, from the perspective of AI systems without speed limits, we will look will more like plants than animals: big slow chunks of biofuel showing weak signs of intelligence when undisturbed for ages (seconds) on end. The attached video is from the perspective of an AI system just 50x faster than us. This is about the rate at which the fastest LLMs I've publicly heard about can produce text — 300-600 tokens/second — compared to the fastest human speech and typing (around 10-20 tokens/second; so we have a 15x-60x speed disadvantage). But over the next decade, unless we impose speed limits, you should expect AI with more like a 100x - 1,000,000x speed advantages over us, including eventually in video processing. Why? Neurons fire at ~1000 times/second at most, while computer chips "fire" a million times faster than that. Current AI has not been distilled to run maximally efficiently, but will almost certainly run 100x faster than humans eventually, and 1,000,000x is conceivable given the hardware speed difference. Also, consumers probably won't have access to the very fastest implementations, so we might not always know what's going on behind the scenes. By default I think we should not expect to survive long in the presence of such bogglingly fast thinking machines. Years: maybe. Decades: probably not. "But plants are still around!", you say. "Maybe AI will keep humans around as nature reserves." It's possible, but unlikely if it's not speed-limited. Remember, ~99.9% of all species on Earth have gone extinct: When people demand "extraordinary" arguments for the "extraordinary" claim that humanity will perish when faced with intelligent systems 100 to 1,000,000 times faster than us, remember that the "ordinary" thing to happen to a species is extinction, not survival. As many now argue, "I can't predict how a world-class chess AI will checkmate you, but I can predict who will win the game." And for all the conversations the world is having about AI alignment and how AI will serve humans as peers or assistants, please try to remember this slow-motion video. To future AI systems without speed limits, we're not chimps; we're plants.

Perhaps today as many of us reflect on our roles as parents to protect our children, it's a good time to ponder over the profound speed disadvantage we humans may soon face relative to thinking machines. Physical machines have lots of speed limits, like for cars, airplanes, and drones. Cyberspace needs speed limits too. Why? In 2-3 years from now, from the perspective of AI systems without speed limits, we will look will more like plants than animals: big slow chunks of biofuel showing weak signs of intelligence when undisturbed for ages (seconds) on end. The attached video is from the perspective of an AI system just 50x faster than us. This is about the rate at which the fastest LLMs I've publicly heard about can produce text — 300-600 tokens/second — compared to the fastest human speech and typing (around 10-20 tokens/second; so we have a 15x-60x speed disadvantage). But over the next decade, unless we impose speed limits, you should expect AI with more like a 100x - 1,000,000x speed advantages over us, including eventually in video processing. Why? Neurons fire at ~1000 times/second at most, while computer chips "fire" a million times faster than that. Current AI has not been distilled to run maximally efficiently, but will almost certainly run 100x faster than humans eventually, and 1,000,000x is conceivable given the hardware speed difference. Also, consumers probably won't have access to the very fastest implementations, so we might not always know what's going on behind the scenes. By default I think we should not expect to survive long in the presence of such bogglingly fast thinking machines. Years: maybe. Decades: probably not. "But plants are still around!", you say. "Maybe AI will keep humans around as nature reserves." It's possible, but unlikely if it's not speed-limited. Remember, ~99.9% of all species on Earth have gone extinct: When people demand "extraordinary" arguments for the "extraordinary" claim that humanity will perish when faced with intelligent systems 100 to 1,000,000 times faster than us, remember that the "ordinary" thing to happen to a species is extinction, not survival. As many now argue, "I can't predict how a world-class chess AI will checkmate you, but I can predict who will win the game." And for all the conversations the world is having about AI alignment and how AI will serve humans as peers or assistants, please try to remember this slow-motion video. To future AI systems without speed limits, we're not chimps; we're plants.

I’m all in on Washington CB Tacario Davis as a Day 2 swing for the fences pick. Ultra rare tools with 4.4 speed at 6’4 and 34” arms. It’s impossible to throw over the top on this guy. He’s a press man/cover 3 guy all the way. Like most of these taller corners, his lack of lateral fluidity gets him in trouble in off coverage. But just like K-State safety VJ Payne, this dude has one of the highest upsides at the position if put in the right scheme. I was high on Nahshon Wright coming out of Oregon State and Davis is in that same mold, just more athletically gifted.

The Sunshine Protection Act is once again in the spotlight. This is a move to have Daylight Savings Time be the permanent time as opposed to Standard Time. THIS IS THE WRONG TIME TO MAKE PERMANENT. I did a video back in 2022 (video below) discussing how this has been tried before in the U.S. back in the 1970s and also in other countries like Russia and the U.K. ALL attempts to make DST permanent was ultimately reversed for various reasons. BTW I do suggest watching the video at about 1.5 speed as I tend to talk slower in my videos. :) With DST you are trading longer summer days for considerably longer darker mornings for the year. This has lead to increased fatalities in car accidents and school children deaths as they walk to their buses/school. Our natural circadian rhythms are disrupted leading to decreased productivity and work place accidents as well as various worstening of overall health. Please share this and check out Save Standard Time as they have great information on this as well. Please do not let the Sunshine Protection Act pass. It is backed by powerful entities that stand to gain financially from longer sunshine when you get off work. They are trading greed for increased deaths and disability.

Dream Big, then Dream Bigger Y'all, check it out 💥Now this is what I'm talking about, forget the propellers and LFG The Lazzarini "Air Car" Engine: The design uses four independent, rotatable jet engines from Rolls-Royce, which is a separate company from the car manufacturer. Each of those engines are able to work independently, adjusting both their inclination and rotation for stability and maneuverability. This allows Lazzarini‘s Air Car to maneuver on variable heights. Specs: It is a 19.5' long, four-seat concept intended for high-speed travel above traffic, with a proposed top speed of 466 mph Key features: Uses four independent jet engines that can tilt and rotate for stability and maneuverability. Designed to function as both a ground vehicle and an aircraft.Has a top speed of up to 466 mph in the air. Finishing off with the more refined Rolls-Royce Solid for those seeking more comfort... Specs This futuristic hover/flying car concept features a solid ultra-light carbon monocoque body (the "solid" aspect, emphasizing its robust, lightweight composite structure) and is powered by four rotatable Rolls-Royce jet engines for VTOL (vertical takeoff and landing) capabilities, evoking a "hoover" (hover) effect. All tho these concepts are still in the prototype stage, get ready the future has no bounds👏 To all my Frens, pack your bags I'll swing by in a bit! 🧳 Kelly🛸 @CaptKylePatriots
