So just saw Nolan”s Odyssey, and I liked it . Casting, well Nolan made it work. I think Matt Damon did do a good job, and the story was “westernized” but it held me entertained. Not expected this to be a segue to the Bronze Age Collapse, sort of sounding like the end of an age of heroes.

Dopiero obejrzałem za sprawą Kanału Zero i naprawdę super. Szkoda, że instytucje państwowe nic nie zrobiły ws promocji polskiego udziału w rewolucji amerykańskiej na 250-lecie USA🤷‍♂️

@RafalzKrakowa @ZelenskyyUa Nie jest urojeniem. Jest w głowach tyle że Ukraińców. I oni to robią. Ot takie WKL bis, bez Korony.

[DoctorZ @MatZagataMD]

@BartosiakJacek Politykiem nie jestem ale powinni ów powiedzieć: o tym że Ukraina jest bardziej gwarantem bezpieczeństwa dla nich niż Polska. Że jest bardziej w tym wiarygodna. Więc „polerują” im a nie nam. Tylko tyle i aż tyle.

First time seeing these new chargers. Nice. @Tesla

Chani’s key descriptions from Frank Herbert’s Dune (primarily from Paul’s first encounter and related passages):
• Build and face: Skinny/slender/very skinny with an elfin face (delicate, fairy-like features).
• Eyes: Dark, whiteless blue eyes (the full Ibad blue of the Fremen from spice exposure — deep blue, almost black “pits of eyes,” intense and striking).
• Hair: Long, tawny-red hair (reddish-brown/golden-red tones).
• Movement and presence: Moves gracefully, like a gazelle; agile Fremen warrior/Sayyadina.
• Attire/context: Typically in a Fremen stillsuit (form-fitting desert survival suit with tubes and seals), veil or hood (often partially lowered), or simple desert robes. She’s a tough, desert-hardened young woman but retains an ethereal beauty.
These come directly from the novel’s text, such as Paul seeing “an elfin face, black pits of eyes” and references to her red/tawny hair and slender build.

@Grok imagining Chani with information pulled from the #Dune books. I have to say, not bad 😌

Grok Imagine prompt:

“A highly detailed, cinematic portrait of Chani Kynes from Frank Herbert’s Dune novel: a slender young Fremen woman with adelicate face, large intense fully blue Ibad eyes (deep blue with no whites, almost black pits), long flowing tawny-red hair, ta...

#FSD taking over while I am waiting for 14.3, now responsible for 60% of my driving. Somethings never change, but driving will never be the same.

[DoctorZ @MatZagataMD]

#FSD is slowly taking over. My daily commute is now a fully automated pleasure cruise. @Tesla

[DoctorZ @MatZagataMD]

Patient today shared his imminent excitement of driving his new Buick back home from FL, and how it has “super cruise” that will even change lanes for you on a highway. I was thinking, wow just like my first Tesla (Model 3) 8 years ago. Then I told him about me getting into my car in my garage pressing self-driving and getting off at the clinic’s parking lot. All without touching the wheel…. Competition is not even close…

[DoctorZ @MatZagataMD]

Sometimes life feels like playing God mode on BG3, you really wonder and wish to load that early save but are stuck in the game.

[DoctorZ @MatZagataMD]

The impact of FSD on daily life of seniors is an often overlooked life hack for them. This gives them back freedom and mobility and this is a huge impact on their quality of life. Many seniors end up in assisted living mainly due to lack of mobility, many end up in ER due to lack of transportation to see their doctor. This will be overall cost benefit to the health care system.

[Sawyer Merritt @SawyerMerritt]

This 93 year old has found new freedom after she bought a new @Tesla Model Y with FSD. She also uses Grok navigation.

"Although she has always been a good driver, my mom can now drive without the fear or fatigue that can naturally come with age. No more relying on others for every trip. No more feeling stuck. This is true mobility that can spark new adventures in a still adventurous women!"

@jakubwiech Od czasu v14.2 samochód mnie szoferuje już przez większość czasu. Postęp jest ogromny od wcześniejszych wersji. Samochód zachowuje się jak inteligentna, myśląca maszyna. Polecam przejażdżkę testową każdemu. Ciężko będzie wrócić do innego samochodu.

And the tail keeps wagging the dog….

Tesla navigation uses the car’s in-cabin camera (above the rearview mirror) to count the number of passengers, then automatically uses HOV lanes if permitted.

It’s the little things Tesla does.

[DoctorZ @MatZagataMD]

Tesla Model Y (293.4 Wh/mi) + Model X LR (242.6 Wh/mi) and home-charged ~15,900 kWh over 24 months via FPL EVolution flat fee.

That's ~59,910 miles on electricity — avoiding ~3,054 gallons of gas in comparable SUVs.

At today's ~$4/gal in Sarasota, that's ~$12,200 saved. Imagine $5/gal... $15,270/year.

Tesla + home charging = obvious win. No gas stations, lower maintenance, instant torque. Who's next? ⚡🚗"

Incredible news: Polish scientists find a way to "unplug" cancer’s immortality.

Wonderful news! A team of researchers from the Jagiellonian University has discovered a molecule that effectively disrupts DNA replication and repair processes by blocking the function of PCNA—a protein that plays a critical role in these mechanisms.

This fundamental discovery paves the way for innovative cancer therapies. Following the necessary clinical trials, this molecule (or its derivatives) could be delivered as a drug using nanoparticle carriers directly to cancer cells, effectively halting their division.

At the heart of every cancer cell lies the PCNA protein. Think of it as a "construction manager" that ensures the cancer’s DNA is copied without errors and repairs any damage. This protein is what makes cancer feel nearly indestructible.

The team led by Dr. hab. Wojciech Strzałka has discovered a molecule that acts as a precision brake, stripping the cancer of its ability to survive and multiply.

The Team Behind the Breakthrough
Pictured are the innovators from the JU Faculty of Biochemistry, Biophysics, and Biotechnology (from left): Dr. Arkadiusz Borek, Dr. Ewa Kowalska, Dr. hab. Wojciech Strzałka, and Dr. hab. Monika Bzowska.

This is a massive achievement! Congratulations to the entire team!

@tesla #fsd is much more efficient at driving then when I take over the wheel. It’s nice to just chill, and let the car do the work, on my way to my work.

[DoctorZ @MatZagataMD]

My thoughts exactly.

[Nic Cruz Patane @niccruzpatane]

I can’t imagine buying a brand new manually-driven gas car in 2026.

It literally doesn’t make sense. Autonomy is here.
