TRUMP IGNORED GABBARD'S BRIEFING

Days before launching Operation Epic Fury on February 28, US President Donald Trump was reportedly warned by then-Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard that killing Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei would backfire by installing a more hardline successor eager for nuclear weapons.

Gabbard briefed Trump that attack on Iran will trigger the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, destabilize global energy markets, and prompt Iranian retaliation against U.S. forces and Gulf allies.

Despite these explicit intelligence assessments and similar cautions from Vice President JD Vance and senior military leaders regarding potential casualties and depleted stockpiles, Trump proceeded with the strikes, persuaded by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Dan Caine who argued for decisive military strikes....Read more: www. keneci. com

SPACEX TO LAUNCH NVIDA'S SPACE-OPTIMIZED AI SATELLITE DATA CENTER

SpaceX and Nvidia have officially partnered to deploy a space-optimized Vera Rubin NVL72 system into orbit, with the first launch targeted for Q4 2027 and significant scaling planned for 2028.

Announced on Monday, this initiative marks the first attempt to place a full rack-scale AI training and inference node in space, extending Nvidia's terrestrial "AI factory" architecture to SpaceX's Starmind satellite constellation. CEO Elon Musk confirmed that the company will exclusively use Nvidia hardware going forward, citing the Vera Rubin architecture as the "best AI computer" available for both ground and orbital operations.

The orbital system leverages the Vera Rubin NVL72 platform, which integrates 72 Rubin GPUs and 36 Vera CPUs connected via NVLink 6 into a shared-memory fabric. The Vera CPU, described as the first processor built specifically for AI agents, features 88 custom Olympus cores and 1.2 TB/s of memory bandwidth, claimed to complete agent tasks 1.8 times faster than comparable x86 processors. This infrastructure is intended to power the next generation of Grok's agentic AI applications, handling complex orchestration, code execution, and data processing directly in orbit to keep GPUs fully utilized.....Read more: www. keneci. com

IRAN SAYS NO TO TRUMP'S IRAN SANCTIONS

Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Lin Jian on Thursday, firmly rejected U.S. efforts to isolate Iran economically, stating that "sanctions and pressure will not help resolve the issue." Beijing opposed what it termed "illegal unilateral sanctions" that lack a basis in international law or authorization from the UN Security Council.

Instead, China called on all parties to "take responsible measures" and resolve the Middle East conflict through "political and diplomatic means."

"China always believes military actions, sanctioning, pressuring do not help solve the problem; it only builds up the tensions in the current situation," Lin said. "China opposes any illegal, unilateral sanctions without authorization of the UN Security Council... We urge the relevant party to solve the current dispute through negotiations and dialogue."

This rebuke came in response to U.S. President Donald Trump’s announcement of an "economic D-Day" and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent’s vow to impose the "toughest sanctions in history" to "collapse" the Iranian regime....Read more: www. keneci. com

ROCKET LAB LAUNCHES SUSANOO-II TO ORBIT

Rocket Lab’s Electron rocket launched the QPS-SAR-18 satellite, nicknamed SUSANOO-II, for the Japanese company iQPS on Thursday (Aug. 20). The "The Lightning God Defends," mission lifted off at 1304 UTC from Launch Complex 1 in New Zealand.

The nine 3D-printed Rutherford engines that power Electron's first stage shut off as planned about 2.5 minutes after liftoff. Separation with the rocket's second stage immediately followed, which burned for another 6.5 minutes before releasing Electron's "kick stage" with the IQPS payload for a 40-minute coast phase. SUSANOO-II (nicknamed after a Japanese lightning god) was deployed into a 575-kilometer low Earth orbit about 50 minutes after launch.

The launch adds to iQPS’s expanding constellation of 36 synthetic aperture radar (SAR) satellites designed to provide near-real-time, high-resolution Earth imagery every 10 minutes....Read more: www. keneci. com

K11 | ROLL YOUR DICE

A Bitcoin or cryptocurrency wallet seed phrase consists of 12 or 24 words chosen from a standardized list of 2,048 unique English words.

This list is defined by the Bitcoin Improvement Proposal 39 (BIP39) standard, which ensures that the same phrase can restore a wallet across different compatible platforms.

While 12 words provide 128 bits of security and 24 words provide 256 bits, both lengths are considered secure against brute-force attacks, with 12 words being the most common default for most users.

After recent ColdCard hack, some cryptography security experts have suggested going back to the basics, generating your own seed phrase --- "roll the dice or shake the (2,048) words" as many times as you "cannot;" just keep going until you satisfactorily generate a strong seed phrase. It's all about entropy and random probabilities.

Remeber: not your keys not your bitcoin/crypto; not your seed phrase, not your bitcoin/crypto
Also tune out shitcoiners and hype scam artists...

TRUMP DECLARES ECONOMIC WARFARE AGAINST IRAN

President Donald Trump announced via Truth Social early morning UTC Thursday, that the United States is launching against Iran, what he claimed to be the "most crushing economic operation ever taken against any country," framing the move as "economic warfare and isolation on an unprecedented scale."

Trump declared that Iran had "failed to take" a greater opportunity to make a deal, justifying the escalation by claiming Iran’s navy is gone, its air force destroyed, and its currency worthless. He issued a stark warning that any country allowing its financial institutions, businesses, or government entities to provide a lifeline to Iran would face "tremendous economic consequences."

The President demanded an immediate stop to oil smuggling, swap lines, cash transfers, exchange houses, ship registries, and front companies, calling the announcement an "ECONOMIC D-DAY" and urging allies to join the effort to isolate Tehran.

The announcement comes as peace talks remain at a complete impasse, with the Iranians and Trump confirming there are "no talks or conversations going on, or scheduled" with Iran. The U.S. had previously agreed to a 60-day ceasefire in a June Memorandum of Understanding with Iran, but that deal expired without renewal.

Iran remains defiant, with parliamentary speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf stating the Strait of Hormuz will not be reopened until the U.S. meets specific demands: lifting the U.S. naval blockade of Iran's ports, removing sanctions on Iran’s oil and gas sales and unfreezing Iranian assets held abroad....Read more: www. keneci. com

US SPACEWALK 97: HIGHLIGHTS

During a 6 hours 23 minutes US Spacewalk 97 (or Extravehicular Activivity, EVA) which began at 1229 UTC outside the International Space Station (ISS) on Tuesday (Aug. 18), two Expedition 75 crew members NASA's Anil Menon (EV-1) and European Space Agency (ESA)'s Sophie Adenot (EV-2) successfully removed a failed Space-to-Ground antenna from the orbital station's Z1 truss.

With assistance from inside the station by NASA astronauts Jack Hathaway operating the Canadarm2 robotic arm and Jessica Meir assisting with suit-ups, the primary goal of the EVA was to replace a high-speed communications antenna that had failed in November, disrupting high-bandwidth data transmission between the ISS and Mission Control Houston.

Though the station continues to operate with a fully functional Space-to-Ground antenna, which provides high-data rate communications with NASA’s Tracking Data and Relay Satellites and control centers across the world, including the agency’s Mission Control Center in Houston....Read more: www. keneci. com

SPACEX'S CURSOR LAUNCHES GITHUB RIVAL, ORIGIN

Cursor, now owned by SpaceX, launched Origin, a code hosting platform built for AI coding agents, on Monday. The platform is currently in beta for paid users and allows developers to sync existing repositories from GitHub, with real-time two-way synchronization available--mirrors commit history, branches, and PR activity, keeping GitHub as the canonical source of truth until a team chooses to detach.

Built by the Graphite team acquired in late 2025, Origin is designed to handle high-frequency commits and parallel agent workloads, featuring AI-powered automated merge conflict resolution and sub-400-millisecond global sync latency.

Unlike GitHub, which was built for human-first developers, Origin is architected to manage fleets of AI agents committing simultaneously, addressing the bottleneck of manual code review. Early previews highlighted capabilities such as 296,000 clones per hour and the ability to handle 22 commits per second per repository....Read more: www. keneci. com
