The Day We Discovered the Solar System’s True Age 56 years ago today — on May 27, 1970 — NASA made a historic announcement that forever changed our understanding of the cosmos.Among the rocks brought back by Apollo 12 from the Ocean of Storms, scientists had found something extraordinary: a 4.6-billion-year-old radioactive rock — the oldest lunar material ever discovered at the time.This humble lemon-sized specimen (weighing just 3 ounces) became the first solid proof that our Solar System is 4.6 billion years old. It was chemically unique, packed with 20 times more uranium, thorium, and potassium than any other sample from Apollo 11 or 12.The discovery was announced simultaneously on two sides of the world:Dr. Paul W. Gast, Chief of the Lunar and Earth Sciences Division at NASA’s Manned Spacecraft Center, at a Houston press conference.
Dr. Gerald J. Wasserburg of CalTech at the COSPAR meeting in Leningrad.
In the iconic NASA photo below, Apollo 12 Commander Pete Conrad is seen carefully examining some of the precious Moon rocks he and Lunar Module Pilot Alan L. Bean brought home — treasures that included this ancient, radioactive time capsule from the birth of the Solar System.A small rock that delivered one of the biggest revelations in space exploration history.
You haven't truly lived the AI development life until you have spent a solid 12-hour shift refactoring your entire multi-agent codebase... only to be stopped by a 400 FAILED_PRECONDITION early-access padlock on the absolute final API call. 😅
Since the error response doesn't say HOW to request early access for Agent Engine + Agent Gateway integration, I’m throwing a flare up here.

Grok Computer just released and it comes with full filesystem + CLI access
This is the upgrade everyone’s been waiting for
Regular Grok chat gives you suggestions. Grok Computer actually does the work
It can now:
• Directly read, edit, create, and organize files
• Run any shell commands, install packages, and execute scripts
• Refactor entire codebases across dozens of files in one go
• Debug crashes by searching logs and fixing root causes live
• Build apps, scrapers, automation scripts - then test and iterate until they work
• Create images, diagrams, concept art, and memes with Grok Imagine.....saving them straight to your filesystem instantly
No more copy-paste hell. No more switching tabs or describing what you want. Grok becomes a true pair programmer + creative partner that touches your actual project and generates visuals seamlessly
A lot more coming soon 🚀
Shower thoughts 🚿 💭
1. Because humanoid robots will soon be able to perfectly substitute human labour, operational costs are going to plummet.
2. As we embrace AI, we are actively swapping the fuel of the economy from human swat to silicone and energy

ANTHROPIC JUST PROVED MOST PEOPLE HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO PROMPT CLAUDE.
Their applied AI team dropped a 24 minute free workshop.
Not a creator who reverse engineered it.
Not a Reddit thread.
ANTHROPIC.
The people who wrote the weights.
And what they showed is uncomfortable.
There are 6 elements to a properly structured Claude prompt.
Most people are using 1.
Maybe 2.
That is not a skill issue.
That is an information issue.
And it has been quietly costing you every single day.
The outputs that felt slightly off.
The responses you had to rewrite 4 times.
The prompts that worked once and never again.
All of it traces back to the same 6 missing elements.
The people who watch this 24 minute workshop tonight will understand something about Claude that most daily users still do not know exists.
The people who skip it will keep getting 30% of what the tool is actually capable of and wonder why the results never quite land.
I watched it twice.
Then I built a Claude Skill that applies all 6 elements to every prompt automatically.
No more thinking about structure.
No more guessing what Claude needs.
The framework runs in the background every single time.
Full breakdown and skill setup is below.
Bookmark this now.
Watch the workshop first.
Then read the guide.
This is the one that compounds.
Follow @cyrilXBT for the exact prompt architecture, Claude skills, and systems I use to get outputs most people do not believe came from one person working alone.
This is the start of something bigger than most realise.
For anyone struggling to understand, this is Tesla's iPhone moment.
From selling a vehicle that generates ~5K/sale , to a monthly recurring revenue item with sofrware margins.
$TSLA HODL and prosper 💪
Last year, we integrated into the @GeminiApp by allowing you to upload your notebooks as sources. Now, we’re taking our relationship to the next level 🏠 ♥️
Starting today, you can now:
— Access all of your personal, unshared notebooks directly inside the Gemini App
— Use your chats with Gemini as sources in new or existing unshared notebooks
We're rolling out notebooks in Gemini today, starting with Google AI Ultra, Pro, and Plus subscribers on the web. In the coming weeks, we'll expand access to mobile, more countries across Europe, and to free users.
Buying a new front door or replacing your windows is a significant emotional and financial investment!
Yet, historically, poeple have had to rely on a massive leap of faith, staring at a glossy brochure and trying to imagine how coloured frames or a new front door might look on their own home.
That creates friction, hesitation, and anxiety. I saw an opportunity to remove that entirely.
Here is a look at what we’ve been building at https://t.co/AEwuzuR4Io to lead the digital overhaul for Kevin Dickinson Windows.
It’s an embeddable, AI-powered visualizer that completely shifts the buying experience from abstract guesswork to instant clarity!
(See the video below for a raw demo of a door transformation).
I believe tech should feel like home. It should act as an ally, not a complex system the user has to fight. To make this frictionless for the customer, we engineered a clean hub-and-spoke architecture:
The Hub: A secure, centralized FastAPI backend handling the heavy lifting, rate limiting, and precise image transformation.
The Spoke: A lightweight, vanilla JS widget that drops seamlessly into their existing site via a Shadow DOM. No apps to download, no clunky interfaces, and no CSS conflicts.
The user just uploads a photo from their phone, selects a door style or frame colour, and the AI maps the new door perfectly into their existing opening, respecting the original lighting, perspective, and brickwork.
This is what accelerating AI adoption actually looks like!
Taking an analog, friction-heavy industry and making the customer journey as simple and enjoyable as possible, and digitally seamless.
It has been a brilliant season of building. We are rolling this out for Kevin Dickinson Windows first, but the engine is built to scale.
.
Take a look at the demo below. I’d love to hear your thoughts on it. 👇
@grok@TodyResearch@Google@googlechrome Which of the companies you mention is currently positioned the best to build, as you say, the most capable, reliable systems first
