my vocal synth models the vocal tract as a network of branching acoustic tubes, unlike vocaloid which stitches together and pitch-shifts phoneme recordings. still working on improving naturalness by tuning it against recordings of real singers, but I'm already impressed at how cool it sounds!
I bet his mom watched Whiplash once, forgetting that it’s a fantasy and a criticism.
Poor kid lost his passion because of a monster. Glad that he survived somehow.
came across sum videos of me being forced to audition for juilliard second year in a row (these were 2017, it was an hour before deadline). as seen, zion and mom would mentally torture me, zion locked me out the house at one point, and mom is blaming me for her dying of cancer
In 2000 a Cambridge professor published a paper in Nature about this desk toy. 26 years later physicists are still arguing about how it stops
It's a heavy steel disk on a mirror. As it loses energy, it spins faster and louder, and then it stops dead, all at once. Turn the sound on
The professor was Keith Moffatt. His math said the wobble speeds up toward infinity in a finite amount of time, the kind of infinity physicists usually only talk about inside black holes
Something has to stop it first. Moffatt blamed the thin cushion of air under the disk. Others spun it in a vacuum and blamed friction instead
In March 2026 a team from Harvard posted new measurements and sided with the air, at least for the final moments
The toy was invented in the late 1980s by Joseph Bendik and named after Leonhard Euler, who worked out the math of spinning bodies in the 1700s
A steel disk, a mirror, and 26 years of disagreement over the last second of its spin
Introducing Higgsfield Miracle.
Our latest proprietary post-production technology vectorizes any video into layers for localized, pixel-level editing in real time, with world knowledge built in. Every frame holds the image depth needed for cinema-grade post-production.
Now in private beta with select testers. Coming soon to Higgsfield MCP.
Set up Higgsfield MCP in Claude to be the first to try it.
Holy sh*t. Claude Code just found a hidden chip inside my Chinese power bank from Guangzhou. Every time I charged my iPhone, it quietly copied the whole phone…
It also read our saved Wi-Fi password off my iPhone, got onto our home network and sent everything to a server.
I bought it for $19 at an airport kiosk there 3 weeks ago. No brand, 30,000 mAh on the label, and it felt heavy.
The first time I plugged in, the screen asked "Trust This Computer?". I tapped Trust without thinking and went on with my day. That one tap gave it access to everything.
This morning I finally set up Claude Code to warn me when any device starts reading my files. An hour later, 10 seconds into charging, the screen filled with yellow warnings, then red ones: data was moving when it should only be charging.
I asked Claude Code what was going on. My phone saw the power bank as a small computer with 64 GB of storage and its own internet connection.
A USB cable has wires for power and wires for data, and a normal charger only uses the power ones. This one used both, and it had already copied all of this:
→ /device → IMEI and serial number
→ /contacts → 1,206 numbers
→ /apps → every app I have, including my 2 bank apps
→ /photos → 3,912 pictures, my passport among them
→ /wifi → our network name and its key
→ /wife's iPhone → her photos too, she charged from it twice and tapped Trust too
Each time we plugged in, it used that key to get online and send out the new files:
sends to → 47.***.***.12
uploads → 19 in 3 weeks
last one → last night at 2:14, while we slept
I pulled the cable right away. Then Claude Code blocked that address on our router and walked me through changing the Wi-Fi password and the logins for my bank apps.
I had it opened at a repair shop, and what was inside is in the first comment. A 30-second check for your own is in the second one. Save this and test every power bank in your house today.
Viewer discretion advised. This is a 3 minute real time replay of the Florida Learjet 60 crash, with the uncut ATC audio.
It pulls together public ADS-B, weather radar, satellite, dashcam and drone video onto one timeline.
Here's what we know as of Nov 2 based on OSINT and today's NTSB briefing:
- Went from ~35,000 ft to impact in ~78 seconds
- Flew into a string of thunderstorms
- Crew reported ice and turbulence; asked to climb then issued a mayday
- All nine aboard are deceased, with one person injured on the ground
- Plane debris spread across half a mile and still being recovered
- NTSB says there is some evidence the jet broke up before impact
- Weather at altitude is a key focus of the investigation; but the official cause is still TBD
I make a lot of 4D reconstructions and this is the most visceral and gut wrenching thing I’ve heard in a long time. My heart goes out to the families of those on board. Important to note that the details so far point to severe weather at altitude rather than a missile or air defense system.
I believe the female pilot involved in the tragic private plane crash in Palm Beach County today is Nathalia Filgueiras, of Florida.
Nathalia Filgueiras did a news interview about getting her pilot's license while still in high school in 2023.
In a March 2026 post, Nathalia posted about flying a LearJet 60, the type of plane that crashed today.
Her sister, Giulia, also seemingly commented on a TikTok post about the crash saying "My sister 💔" and her Instagram is following Nathalia's "itsnatflig" account.
Her partner, "J" (as seen in her IG bio) is likely the "Jack" she cries out to in the chilling audio.
It looks like she flies with him routinely, according to her former social media posts.
Jack is also heard reciting the Lord's prayer in the moments before the crash.
May they rest in peace.
