God's eye view 24-hour replay of Operation Epic Fury.

The Iran strikes kicked off and I set an AI agent swarm loose to record every OSINT signal I could find before the caches cleared. Built a full 4D reconstruction in WorldView.

I can scrub through minute by minute and watch the whole thing unfold on a 3D globe:

> Airspace clearing over Tehran
> Ground strike coordinates locking in
> Severe GPS interference blinding the region
> EO and SAR satellites making passes over the strike zone
> No-fly zones locking down 9 countries
> Shipping fleets scrambling at the Strait of Hormuz

It's pretty amazing how complete of a picture you can build without "proprietary data fusion" -- one dev with public signals and a love for computer graphics and geospatial intelligence.

Thank you for all the love on my last post. Dropping WorldView in April. This my friends is just the beginning.

This is every geopolitics nerd's dream tool

[Elie Habib @eliehabib]

I vibe-coded this weekend a Bloomberg Terminal for geopolitics, because we're living in special times.
Here's the story:

30 browser tabs. Reuters, USGS, flight trackers, prediction markets, government feeds. All open simultaneously. All the time. Ukraine. Gaza. Taiwan. Sanctions. Supply chains. Everything connected. Nothing correlated.

So I built World Monitor. One dashboard. 20+ live data sources. Real-time correlation.

What it tracks:
- 45+ news feeds ranked by source authority (searchable)
- 220+ military bases, 111 AI datacenters, 88 pipelines, 55 undersea cables
- Live vessel tracking & chokepoint monitoring
- Internet outages, earthquakes, weather alerts
- Prediction markets vs. news velocity gaps... and more.

What you can explore:
- Search news across all feeds instantly
- Click any pipeline, datacenter, or base for details
- Toggle 15+ map layers to spot correlations
- Filter events by time range (1h to 7 days)

What it detects:
- When 3+ sources confirm the same story within 30 mins
- When markets move before news breaks
- When news velocity suddenly doubles
- The "Pentagon Pizza Index" 🍕
- When military planes & vessels density grows & more

Philosophy: Information density > aesthetics. Correlation > accumulation. Wire services > blogs.

Vibe-coded with Claude. Zero frameworks. Open source.

The world is more connected than ever. Your monitoring tools should be too.

The dirty little secret of edtech: the biggest names don’t actually care if you learn anything.

As co-founder of Udemy, it is something I reckon with every day…

Duolingo - edtech’s only decacorn, worth $14B. Brilliant app, addictive product, and great for motivation. But let’s be honest: most users can’t hold a basic conversation in their chosen language. It’s a game, not an education.

Masterclass - it’s called “edutainment” for a reason. Great brand and team. But not useful for serious learning.

Udemy/Coursera opened access to millions, but video courses have a fatal flaw: they only work for the most motivated. 4-10% completion rates! I still get DMs about their positive impact, but still average person doesn’t view them as mainstream solutions to education.

Kajabi/Teachable nailed creator monetization. But many (not all) creators don’t prioritize outcomes — just sales. Too many $5,000 “get rich quick” courses with spammy marketing. There are gems, of course, but still not enough quality for mainstream acceptance.

Then there’s University of Phoenix, the worst offender. It proved you could tap federal student loans, deliver poor outcomes, and keep billions in revenue.

Ironically, the best education models — coding bootcamps like App Academy, BloomTech, General Assembly, Galvanize — actually drove real outcomes. But they didn’t quite reach scale. In large part due to unfair (and immoral, imho) practices by the higher education cartel.

Here’s the thing: everyone in this space starts with good intentions.

I know the teams at Duolingo, Udemy, and others. They care. But the incentives of Edtech 1.0 pushed everyone toward engagement and monetization instead of real learning.

Public investors eventually caught on. Consumer growth stalled, B2B slowed, and valuations dropped. Coursera/Udemy are each ~$700M (!!) in annual revenue, but trade at 1.5-2.5x multiples (!!). It is a hard time in edtech.

We need Edtech 2.0.

The next generation needs to deliver real learning outcomes AND high engagement.

There’s a number of companies trying - of course I believe Maven is one of them.

To build multiple $10B+ companies in education, we need to care deeply about whether people actually learn. American competitiveness is literally reliant on rebuilding our education system.

AI is about to trigger the largest upskilling need in modern history. The opportunity is massive — and this time, we can get it right.

It may not seem like it, but I’m optimistic. Out from the ashes of Edtech 1.0 will rise Edtech 2.0. The new generation is going to deliver value, and make people believe again.

If you ever see a soldier who looks like this, be sure to make fun of him. Soldiers who look like this are ALWAYS cooks or paper pushers, and you will look tough in front of your buddies, but will be relatively safe since guys like this won’t fight back.

A small compilation of the Pakistan Army Artillery Corps unleashing absolute hell on Indian positions during the recent conflict. The artillerys relentless efforts throughout the conflict went relatively underappreciated and was pretty much overshadowed by the Pakistan Air Force's phenomenal performance.

[Adil @adilsultan]

Some preliminary lessons from the 12 Day War between Israel, US and Iran:
1. Iran's nuclear program remains intact. Both the US and Israel could not achieve their stated primary objective. In fact, Iran may now consider expelling the IAEA inspectors and eventually leave the NPT, encouraging other regional countries to follow, which would unravel the NPT-based nonproliferation regime
2. @iaeaorg and its DG @rafaelmgrossi's credibility has become questionable. It may discourage other member states from providing the necessary transparency to the IAEA
3. Iran has demonstrated that it has the capacity to inflict significant damage to both Israel and the US interests in the region, despite their military asymmetry
4. Regime change in Iran may be more difficult than ever
5. The myth of Israel's invincibility has been exposed. Its Iron Dome system may be effective against primitive rockets, but remains vulnerable to high speed projectiles
6. The US remains the main instigator of chaos, and for now the only country that could restore stability to the conflict zones
7. The conflict has also demonstrated how one 'deranged person' heading the Israeli govt could manipulate the US and put at risk security of the entire region
8. Most Middle Eastern countries, hosting US troops on their territories and surviving on a 'borrowed security', may have increased their vulnerability to the external threats (both State as well as non-state actors)
9. Organisations like the OIC are a hoax and remain ineffective during any crisis
10. Possession of NWs can only provide immunity from external threats, and not the alliances or strategic partnerships.
