If you have a 6 y/o kid, then you should have opened a 100% stock index portfolio for the little one 6 years ago! Imagine if you started your investing journey at 0 months old? The compounding interest! 😱 @Vanguard_Group @etoro https://t.co/Zgc4WWXfL5

The progress in robotic hands is moving incredibly fast.

Here, ALLEX's 15-DOF hands perform micro-pick and fastening with high accuracy. Capable of detecting forces as small as 100 grams for fine manipulation, and maintains safe human-robot interaction.

$24,000 per year from this simple AI Dentist Voice Agent

(and why I'm crazy for giving it away for free)

A dental practice was losing $6,000+ in revenue every month from missed after-hours calls.

That's 20-25 potential patients walking away because no one was available to book their appointments.

So I built an AI voice assistant that handles after-hours dental bookings 24/7 using n8n and ElevenLabs based on internal policies and scheduling availability.

Here's what this system does:
→ Answers calls with a natural-sounding AI receptionist
→ Collects patient information and insurance details
→ Checks calendar availability in real-time
→ Books appointments automatically
→ Logs all patient details to a Google Sheet

The result? This similar AI voice system was sold to a dental practice for $24k per year by another entrepreneur!!

This isn't just about dental practices. Any service business losing money from missed calls can implement a similar system.

Want the complete n8n workflow template?

2. Comment "ASSISTANT"

I'll send you the entire system for free, a full setup walk-through video, including the ElevenLabs automation components.

@0xzak You had me at “rushed”.

[el.cine @EHuanglu]

wtf.. this is mindblowing..

GoogleDeepMind just dropped Genie 3

you can generate interactive 3D world with text, navigate with keys and.. interact in real time.. AI is crazy

10 examples:

1. navigate to a car and open the door.. omg

i have been using claude code but i feel like im still just using it like i used cursor (1 chat, wait, repeat)

whats the best way to get claude autonomously building out a feature by itself while i chat and iterate on a separate task?

Wait so Alibaba Qwen has just released ANOTHER model??

Qwen3-Coder is simply one of the best coding model we've ever seen.

→ Still 100% open source
→ Up to 1M context window 🔥
→ 35B active parameters
→ Same performance as Sonnet 4

They're releasing a CLI tool as well ↓

For one who is clumsy at writing prompts like me, a prompt optimiser sounds like a good idea. Thank you @minchoi

[Min Choi @minchoi]

This ChatGPT prompt is literally $500/hr consultant🤯

Time to pay it forward.

Ask me anything on startups, ideation, growth, fundraising, monetization, code, nocode, ai, design, ux, hr, SEO, ai agenta, vibe coding, robots, hardware, b2b, domains, social media, content, tools, kids, bootstrapping, productivity..)

[John Rush @johnrushx]

Well, try to consume less and produce more.

Consuming makes sense when you're already on the market and you consume to understand trends and figure out some cool content you can create to drive your marketing.

But at the early stage, limit your consumption so you have more time to build things and use direct messages instead.

So instead of consuming the feed, try to chat with people, find those who would be interested in your product, and get them into the early adopter group. Talk to them daily and they will kind of push you to build your product.

Saw your work 2-3 years ago (my nft days). If I see your work somewhere around the world, I would know that’s your art. Thts how unique your work is. So maybe expand to some other avenue besides pfp. Do your own brand and sell directly to your fans. ..or something. You got this. Keep going

[merv @mervmacdo]

@gregisenberg Maybe someone can point us to a autonomous ai agent to follow through an idea using, say, this plan for example.

[merv @mervmacdo]

@lannaroche @gregisenberg Maybe make something to solve your own problem, then you get 1 definite user.

Vibe coding isn't just for games anymore. 🚀

Founders are using it to build real SaaS MVPs in days, not months. AI is writing 90-100% of the code.

NVIDIA announced GR00T N1, the first fully customizable open-source humanoid robot foundation model, designed to advance general-purpose robotics.

Includes:

-A dual-system AI inspired by human cognition: System-1 handles fast, intuitive actions, while System-2 enables methodical decision-making. System-1 is trained on human demonstration data and a massive amount of synthetic data.

-Can easily generalize across common tasks - such as grasping, moving objects with one or both arms, and transferring items from one arm to another - or perform multistep tasks that require long context and combinations of general skills.

-"With a minimal amount of post-training data, we were able to fully deploy on NEO Gamma - furthering our mission of creating robots that are not tools, but companions that can assist humans in meaningful, immeasurable ways."

-Early adopters also include Agility Robotics, Boston Dynamics, Mentee Robotics, and NEURA Robotics.

Evergreen storage: 360 TB of data and 13.8 billion years life.

—

University of Southampton have developed a technology that allows digital data to be stored virtually forever.

Using nanostructured glass, scientists at the University's Optoelectronics Research Center (ORC) have achieved such digital data recording and retrieval processes with so-called "5-dimensional" (5D) preservation: documents were recorded using an ultrafast laser, which produces extremely fast and intense pulses of light on three layers of dots, separated by 5 micrometers (a micrometer is one millionth of a meter).

A single disk can hold up to 360 TB (terabytes) of data, can withstand temperatures of up to 1000°C, and, at room temperature, can have a virtually unlimited lifespan (at 190°C it reaches 13.8 billion years).

As a form of stable and secure portable storage, the technology could be very useful for organisations with large archives, such as museums and libraries, to store large amounts of information. Professor Peter Kazansky, from the ORC, said of the discovery: “It is exciting to think that we have created a technology to preserve documents and information, capable of preserving it in space for future generations.

This technology could provide the last evidence of our civilisation: everything we have learned will not be forgotten.”
