This is pretty cool. Rhode Island-based company Flux Marine sells a fully-electric boats powered by their own electric outboard motors.
They sell many different configurations of boats which they’ve partnered with Scout, Highfield, and Flagship Pontoons.
• Prices are low to mid $100K depending on boat configuration.
• 25-30 miles of range at cruising speed
• 80+ miles of range at low speed (~5 mph)
• 84 kWh battery
• 175 peak horsepower (115 hp continuous)
• Top speed ~30-35 mph depending on model
• 7.5 hour charge time @ 6.6kW
• 50 kW peak fast charging
• 400V
• 325 lbs for the motor
Seeing stuff like this is cool. Definitely the future.
Don’t sleep on @SpaceX
SpaceX AI satellites will basically become NVIDIA Vera Rubin NVL72 data center racks, but out in Space.
A 500 MW data center could use ~2,500 Vera Rubin NVL72 racks and require hundreds of megawatts of continuous grid power, huge liquid cooling systems, and a massive footprint, which can put strain on surrounding communities and infrastructure.
With SpaceX AI satellites, compute is generated using solar power directly from the sun. Heat radiates freely into the vacuum of space, reducing cooling power overhead by an order of magnitude compared to terrestrial data centers.
Millions of these satellites at scale will provide more compute than what’s even possible on Earth.
The most impressive part is SpaceX has already proven some of this technology with their Starlink satellites… it isn’t some speculative technology.
The best way to communicate with the world is directly in your own words, not through the reality distortion nightmare mirror that is the legacy mainstream press
Lumina’s new vehicle controls test & validation center.
Equipped with millions in advanced
-high/low-voltage power supplies
-thermal testing systems
-acoustics equipment
-frequency generators
-assembly lifts
-metal working equipment
And much more,
This facility gives our teams the capabilities to test and validate every battery pack, hydraulic power unit and cooling systems with rigorous, automotive-grade testing before it is approved for production and ultimately deployed in the field.
state of bio/acc, mid-2026:
(bookmark this)
1) gene editing
→ Casgevy (first ever CRISPR cure) expanded to kids as young as 2
→ KNIT lets you insert 10kb of DNA with zero double-strand breaks, 89% efficiency
→ germline editing hit 100% efficiency with zero chromosomal abnormalities
→ a CRISPR therapy directly eliminated hep B's viral reservoir in human liver for the first time ever
2) embryo selection
→ IQ screening for embryos is a commercial product with real babies already born
→ a couple with a family history of schizophrenia can screen for 4% risk instead of 19%
3) longevity and cellular reprogramming
→ Life Biosciences dosed the first human with a therapy built to reverse cellular aging
→ NewLimit raised $435M at a $3.1B valuation before a single human trial
→ Retro Biosciences dosing humans with a pill that reactivates cellular cleanup machinery
→ Altos Labs mapped 100+ genes linked to cellular youth
4) BCIs
→ Meta decoded full sentences from brain activity with zero surgery, 78% accuracy
→ Neuralink and Synchron both moving from lab to real human use
→ the "healthy person gets an implant for cognitive enhancement" moment is closer than people think
5) peptides
→ 14 of 19 banned compounds are coming back to legal compounding
→ the grey market is becoming a real regulated industry
→ retatrutide hit 30% bodyweight loss in Phase 3, bariatric surgery results from an injection
6) psychedelics
→ psilocybin got a presidential executive order
→ Compass Pathways weeks from the first ever FDA approval of a psychedelic drug
→ 50 years of Schedule I status, undone in real time
7) AI x biology
→ a garage chemist designed a novel Alzheimer's drug candidate using Claude Code
→ Anthropic launched Claude for Science and is now running its own internal drug discovery lab
→ Isomorphic Labs raised $2.1B to build AI-designed drugs, already in human trials
8) the infrastructure most people aren't watching
→ $3.74B deployed into longevity biotech in Q1 2026 alone, 56% ahead of Q1 2025
→ biopharma M&A hit $84B in four months
→ OpenAI, Anthropic, and Midjourney are all quietly becoming biotech companies
six months ago half of this was scifi, now it's the new baseline
DM if you're investing in any of this.

Starlink Mini 2 is finally entering production, with a built-in battery now confirmed.
The current hardware revision is mini2_prod1.
The new terminal is slightly smaller than the original Starlink Mini. Its panel PCB measures 225 × 273 mm, compared with 236 × 276 mm for Mini 1.
Average EIRP is also slightly lower: 27.4 dBW, compared with 27.57 dBW.
The transmit duty cycle has been reduced significantly, from 75% to 11%, which will result in lower uplink speeds. This limitation is most likely driven by the terminal’s power budget.
The terminal includes a built-in 4S lithium battery managed by a BQ40Z-series BMS. Battery capacity is currently unknown.
Charging is provided via a USB-C Power Delivery port, supporting an input range of 11–24 V.
The MAC thermal thresholds have been increased to 95°C and 99°C, compared with 79°C and 83°C on Mini 1.
The battery thermal shutdown threshold is set to 80°C.
GPS - present. Explicitly configured for in-motion use.
The SoC is the same "Catapult".
