🧵 Open source runs on more than code.
Over the past week, we funded maintainers directly, invested in Rust and its ecosystem, launched Patch the Planet for AI-assisted security work, and expanded Codex for OSS to more maintainers.
BREAKING: The Trump administration is offering $17.5 billion in low-cost loans to help finance the construction of 10 new Westinghouse AP1000 nuclear reactors across the U.S.
Linux creator, Linus Torvalds:
"AI is a great tool, but I get angry when people say '99% of our code is written by AI' because historically, 100% of code is written by compilers"
AI is changing programming, but it's not changing the fundamentals
More people need to know that ancient Roman engineering was so precise, their aqueducts still produce clear water to this very day - 2,000 years later.
Programming is not about code, just like music is not about notation. It is the art & science of managing complexity through layers of abstraction. AI is simply a part of it.
Trump said Russia could have taken Kyiv in four hours if a Russian general hadn’t driven the tanks into a swamp.
Meanwhile, Russian tanks, APCs, and hundreds of other vehicles were advancing along a perfectly paved four-lane “swamp” in the Brovary district.
Midjourney's massive pivot into the personal health and medical industries.
Its first hardware project, a scanner that reads your body in 60 seconds, with 'full-body ultrasound machine'.
The plan is to put people in water, lower them through a sensor ring, send ultrasound waves through the body from many angles, record how those waves bend and scatter through fat, muscle, bone, and organs, then reconstruct a 3D internal map rather than a normal flat ultrasound view.
The water matters because ultrasound travels cleanly through it, so the body can be scanned from all sides without a handheld probe pressing against one spot.
Midjourney says the system uses 40 Butterfly Ultrasound-on-Chip modules, thousands of transducers, and about two petaflops of processing to reconstruct 3D maps of muscle, fat, bone, and organs in about 60 seconds.
This is closer to ultrasound CT than hospital CT, because it uses sound waves instead of ionizing radiation, and it avoids MRI’s strong magnets.
Midjourney’s first target is not cancer diagnosis or organ-disease detection, but body composition maps, meaning repeatable scans that show changes in muscle, fat, bone, organs, and possibly training or diet effects.
Medical diagnosis would need FDA clearance, so the likely path is wellness first, then narrow medical claims one by one, rather than a finished hospital-grade MRI replacement on day 1.
The first public site is planned for San Francisco by end-2027, inside a Midjourney Spa with about 10 scanners, hot tubs, saunas, cold plunges, and a gym.
Midjourney says the bigger target is 50,000 scanners globally over 6 years and 1B full-body scans per month, but that is still a company ambition, not a proven deployment plan.
What is happening here is a bet that medical imaging becomes less like a rare test and more like a longitudinal record of the body
