The Romans made a cup that's green in normal light and red when you shine a light through it. 1,600 years later, Sheffield scientists have finally copied the trick, using gold and silver particles 1,000 times smaller than a grain of sand. Ancient tech, still winning.
Quick add:
Parasite SEO for builders isn't spam. One useful answer on a site Google already trusts (Reddit, Medium, LinkedIn), then one honest link back.
Those pages can rank in days. A brand-new domain takes months.
1/ Parasite SEO tip for builders: don't just rank your site — publish one genuinely useful piece on Medium, Reddit, Hashnode, Pinterest. Own more of page one, get cited in AI answers. Doing it this week for my tennis app 🧵
Andy Burnham says he'd welcome an 'honest discussion' about bringing back EU free movement, and a new deal with Brussels, maybe even the single market. No euro, no Schengen. Farage calls it a total betrayal of Brexit Britain. Would you take that deal?
Socceroos star Cristian Volpato has licensed his own AI clone. A California firm gets exclusive rights to his face, voice and performance data, so his 'synthetic twin' can land brand deals 24/7 while he trains. Neymar did it in June. Would you sell yours?
Vibe coding got the dashboard done. Security is the part people skip.
I keep a release gate on every app before real users, money, or personal data: known flags, shipped fixes, open gaps. If you can’t name what’s still open, you’re not ready to ship.
Les mecs qui ont vibe codé leur SaaS en 48 heures vont bientôt découvrir un concept assez intéressant.
La cybersécurité.
Frérot t'as mis une application en production avec 30 000 lignes de code que t'as jamais regardées.
Mais au moins ton dashboard a des animations fluides MDRRR.
Good tip from @Texas_Twins_Dad — I ran the same setup.
Gotcha: locked iPhone still wants a Face ID glance or a tap. In Shortcuts pick "Start Voice Chat with Bot", not "Send Message".
iOS 18+: Settings → Accessibility → Vocal Shortcuts.

Everyone said "Hey Grok" was impossible on iPhone. Even Grok said Apple keeps wake words for Siri only. So I kept digging, and I found a way. Now I just say "Hey Grok" and Grok Bot voice chat opens. No extra apps, no cost, all built into iOS.
How to set it up:
1. Make sure your Grok Bot app is up to date
2. Shortcuts app → + → Add Action → search "Grok Bot" → pick "Start Voice Chat with Bot"
3. Settings → Accessibility → Vocal Shortcuts → Set Up → pick that shortcut → type "Hey Grok" and say it 3 times
4. In the shortcut's details, turn on "Allow Running When Locked"
If your phone is locked, iOS asks for one tap first. If Face ID already unlocked it, it's fully hands-free.
Prince William has revealed his secret DJ name. DJ Xara. With an X. He says he wasn't even good enough for school parties. The future King on the decks. I need the mixtape.
The PM wants every home stocked for three days. Tins, bottled water, 9 litres each. Andy Burnham's own emergency cupboard? Beans, soup and Twiglets. Even a Treasury minister admits he hasn't done it yet. What's in yours?
The UK is spending £100m on an AI lab to fight the next pandemic. OpenAI and Anthropic are chipping in up to £200m in credits. It's all part of a £600m plan to defend Britain from AI threats. Smart move or Budget week headline?
Andy Burnham is the first Prime Minister ever on Gogglebox. Filmed in Number 10 with Steve Rotheram, and he reckons Twiglets are the best crisps. Channel 4, 9:05pm tonight.
AI just found a flaw so serious the UK government switched off 32 of its own websites. No sign anyone was hacked, but this is the biggest web security scramble in years.
@lingxi@bot If we specifically asked for something and then the bot gets it wrong and within the next message they say I’m ever so sorry that was on my end. We shouldn’t be charged tokens for their mistakes.
