Okay the one you can ride on is a proof of concept everyone in America should be losing their minds over right now... You can fly Right now For cheap And its very easy to control. Compared to takeoff and landing etc conventional craft. Why arent people crashing every weekend?

Meta spent $40 billion and 10 years trying to make hand tracking feel natural. This guy did it with Claude in a weekend. No code written. No team. No hardware. He described what he wanted, Claude built it. The app tracks every finger, every joint, every movement live on his laptop. Physics bend around his hands in real time. The $40B industry just got embarrassed by one person with a Claude subscription. Everything you need to start building like this is in the article above.

THIS GUY LIVES UNDER SFO'S TAKEOFF PATH SO HE BUILT A CEILING PROJECTOR THAT TRACKS EVERY PLANE FLYING OVER HIS HOUSE IN REAL TIME he uses a cheap $30 radio receiver to pick up the signals that planes broadcast while flying. then projects them onto his ceiling in real time when a jet flies over his house you hear it outside and at the exact same moment a plane glides across his ceiling labeled with the airline, aircraft type, and destination pure black background so the projector's rectangle disappears and only the aircraft are visible but he didn't stop at planes it also draws the real sky behind them. sun, moon, bright stars, constellations, and live satellites including the ISS. all at their true positions for his exact location and time in real time so he's lying in bed watching the actual night sky projected onto his ceiling with real planes crossing through it as they take off from SFO there is a huge market for every man alive that runs outside to see the helicopter vibe coded the whole thing himself with a cheap radio, a projector, and some clever software

A drone or a submarine? 🫧 A student just built a drone that flies through the air and swims underwater — and it actually works. As part of his Bachelor’s project, Andrei Copaci created a 3D-printed, hybrid drone with variable pitch propellers, meaning the blades shift mid-flight to adapt between air and water. Just a laptop, a printer, and a smart idea. The drone is fully custom-coded and transitions seamlessly between flying and swimming. We're entering a new era, where curious students can prototype what once took massive funding and R&D efforts.

✨🇨🇳A Chinese internet user shared a video of themselves controlling a drone swarm. It’s incredibly cool—30+ drones shaped like “flying swords” followed hand gestures to perform synchronized formations, perfectly recreating the “Wan Jian Gui Zong” (All Swords Return to the Sect) scene from Chinese martial arts fiction.😯

“I’m not a gamer, but I’ll admit I’m terrible at the controls. You hand the same system to a 19-year-old and they’re opening doors, flying drones, and getting them into places the rest of us can’t. From playing video games, they just instinctually know how to do it—and it’s completely changing tactics on the battlefield.” Secretary of the Army

"Physics gets a vote." Cameron McCord learned this viscerally in his time at Anduril. "Simulate everything" became industry gospel, but it turns out testing is still critical in hardware. That experience became the thesis behind Nominal. He and co-founders Jason Hoch and Bryce Strauss built Nominal around testing because it's where software-defined hardware meets the physical world for the first time, and where the real advantage gets built.

A NASA fellow claims 5 equations explain 99 percent of the physics that actually runs your world. Understand them deeply and you are set for life. His words. And the way he does it is what makes the video worth it. He does not teach the five as a list. He tells them as one story, where each equation is born from the one before it. F equals ma leads into gravity. Gravity rhymes with the law of electric charge, the exact same shape. That connects to magnetism. Magnetism folds into the wave. And the wave quietly opens the door to relativity and quantum physics. By the end, all of physics feels like a single sentence written by one hand, not a pile of formulas you were forced to memorize. The move that stays with you comes first. He says F equals ma is written the wrong way around, and rewrites it. One tiny flip, and the most famous equation on Earth suddenly means something school never told you. His point for why this matters now: in the age of AI, the people who understand reality itself stay in demand. Everyone else is just memorizing. Five equations. One thread. It is in the video.

A good teacher in your school days is a lifelong treasure. A Chinese science teacher and his students built a 4-meter water rocket by hand. It launches, separates, and returns, just like the real one. He may have just planted the seeds of a future in China’s space industry.

I was also looking into how we can integrate Jev into a real hardware and I built a custom firmware for my keyboard that predicts and highljghts the next key using Jev. Mostly real time. This is not a simple dummy 2kb model that lives in the board. In my project Jev gets context of the current active app on a screen so it can suggest actual vim commands completion! For real. And a real word endings or even phrases. lmao this experiments are getting out of hand this quite cool

This guy replaced an $8,000 survey crew with one drone and a pipeline on Claude Code that digitizes a whole site in a single trip. Inside it is not one drone but a whole pipeline of 5 modules on Claude Code each with its own job all answering to a single orchestrator. And he built them himself with no team. He draws one line on the map from the controller and the whole site starts turning into data at once. Pilot flies the DJI Matrice 350 RTK along the route and reaches where a crew drags tripods: the parking lot and the roofs and the grading. Scanner on the Zenmuse L2 records the geometry with a laser down to the centimeter. Builder in DJI Terra stitches the point cloud into a digital twin. Analyst on Claude builds what the client needs out of the finished model: a volume report and a progress diff and a tour behind a link. Mobile lives in his iPhone and hands the developer a link to the model while he drives to the next site. The site is ready as a file in about an hour and the developer rotates it in the browser himself and measures distances. No crew. No tripods. No week on site. Just him and a pickup and a drone and one API key. The whole processing pipeline lives in a folder at /Users/dev/site-capture. But he did not stop at a one time scan. The pipeline raises him by voice only when a flight misses a patch or when a sag on site goes past tolerance. And this is not made up: the DJI Matrice 350 RTK and the Zenmuse L2 are off the shelf enterprise hardware. The specs are one search away and the L2 really does write around 240,000 points per second. A crew for the same job charges $8,000 and three trips plus a week of desk work. His cost is tokens and subscriptions: one battery charge per flight and around $300 a month to host the finished models. In the end he draws one line on the map and an operator that does not exist scans the site and calculates the volumes and builds the report while he never leaves his truck. There is a huge market of everyone who needs to measure construction sites and warehouses and roofs and parking lots over and over while they still send out a photographer with a camera and wait a week. And he built this whole pipeline himself: one drone and one scanner and Claude Code that turns a flight into a file the developer pays for.

THIS WEBSITE LETS YOU TAKE AN ENTIRE FLIGHT WITHOUT FLYING THE PLANE. it's called InFlightSimulator → real airports. real routes. real flight times. one cabin. pick a departure. pick a destination. then you're just sitting by the window. London to Reykjavík in 3 hours. London to Tokyo overnight. Deadhorse Alaska. Svalbard. Yakutsk. real airports at the ends of the earth. you can walk the cabin. open a window shade. close it. move seats. there is even a country-flag side quest where completed flights unlock the countries you visit. no cockpit. no controls. no goal. you're the passenger. staring at the world moving underneath you like every bored kid who ever got the window seat. built by one guy named Robert. he says he made it to simulate his favorite thing in the world. sitting on really long flights and staring out the window, wondering what every lake and town is beneath him. pick two airports. sit by the window. go absolutely nowhere in real life.

Ukraine has developed a prosthesis that controls drones with the "power of thought". The new MARS prosthesis control system uses special sensors and artificial intelligence to recognize muscle movements. The prosthesis can literally understand the user's intentions. This approach makes prosthesis control more natural, and in the future, opens up new opportunities for controlling technologies such as drones. The user will be able to control the drone by changing the position of the prosthesis in space and tensing different muscles. The principle is similar to a computer mouse: the hand movement controls the direction and angle of the drone, and muscle tension controls functions such as pressing buttons. Esper Bionics is already testing a prototype, and next year, they plan to produce a version for the market. Source: Mykhailo Fedorov/Minister of Digital Transformation of Ukraine/Facebook

THIS GUY BUILT A REAL JARVIS THAT TURNS HIS IDEAS INTO FINISHED PROJECTS ON ITS OWN, AND HE JUST SHOWED HOW THE WHOLE THING WORKS The whole system runs on one clean split he calls a blood-brain barrier. The second brain, his Obsidian vault, is only for things that aren't real yet. Ideas. Each one sits in a project-shaped folder, waiting to be processed and turned into something real. Nothing executes there. The vault is the place where ideas get shaped, not built. Once an idea is signed off, it crosses over to the execution pipeline. That lives on his actual machine, or an always-on box, or a Raspberry Pi, depending on what the project needs. Inside that machine is a fully Claude-native file system. The key piece is one CLAUDE.md file sitting in the root of his documents folder, acting as the map to everything in there. So he just opens Claude and says "go to my projects folder," and it already knows the whole structure, because that root file explains it. Two zones, one rule: the brain holds what isn't real, the machine runs what is. That separation is what keeps the ideas from tangling with the work. Bookmark this
