If you can dream it, you can do it.

[World of Engineering @engineers_feed]

A crystal was just discovered that acts like a metal and a glass at the same time.

Molybdenum oxychloride, announced June 1, 2026.

Metals conduct electricity freely. Electrons move through them like water through a pipe.
Glasses are insulators. Electrons are frozen in place.

These two states have been mutually exclusive for the entire history of materials science.

Until now.

MoOCl₂ has a split personality at the quantum level:
• Along one axis: metallic. Electrons flow freely.
• Along the perpendicular axis: insulating. Electrons don't move at all.

This is called extreme optical anisotropy.

Why it matters:
• Smart contact lenses that can display information without power-hungry screens
• Ultrathin AR glasses that process light differently in different directions
• Photonic circuits that route light the way copper routes electricity

We've had one fundamental state for each material for 200 years of engineering.
Now we have both in one crystal.

Materials science just got a new category.

I am using codex with /goal for that.

@gatere_mark how about: you try dm them your concerns and perhaps find out? calling out here doesn’t help.

1/ fast AI inference is about to replay the history lesson from search engines on why low latency is so important

[Eric Kirima @Eric_Kirima]

@Entr_dawood BATNA applied here or what?😅

@maria_rcks ☺️, your ai experience has been reset

[Eric Kirima @Eric_Kirima]

pulling @SafaricomPLC speeds of 656mps on 5G felt good 😅, 👍! Clearly, never done speed test on 5G before

Get paid to wait

The Claude Code spinner might be the most watched line on Earth.

So I turned it into an ad marketplace.

Advertisers bid on it. You keep 50% of the money.

Install the extension → get cash from ads.

Today’s edition of my newsletter just went out.

🗞️ Claude’s ‘too dangerous’ AI model is finally public. But there’s a catch

🗞️ Cognition is introducing FrontierCode, a coding benchmark built to test whether AI code is good enough for a real maintainer to merge, not just whether it passes tests.

🗞️ This is the silent limiter on Claude Fable 5 - It cannot be used for really advanced AI research stuff.

🗞️ New Anthropic research shows AI agents may look brilliant at code, but in biology they can fail before the science starts.

🗞️ Very useful recommendation for pushing Claude Code to its full potential. by Thariq, from Claude Code team.

[Amazon Web Services @awscloud]

More AI-generated code doesn't make your team faster. It might actually slow you down.

[Darren Marble @darrenmarble]

OnlyFounders - who’s building it?

[Google @Google]

Meet DiffusionGemma ⚡ Our latest experimental open model (Apache 2.0) that generates text up to 4x faster.

Instead of predicting and typing just one word at a time like most language models, it drafts and refines entire blocks of text simultaneously.

Here’s how it works 🧵 ↓

[Тsфdiиg @tsoding]

Programming is understanding. If you don't understand what you are doing, you are not programming. You are generating text.

Introducing Claude Fable 5: a Mythos-class model that we’ve made safe for general use.

Its capabilities exceed those of any model we’ve ever made generally available.
