Okay folks, this qualifies as BREAKING NEWS!

Harold “Sonny” White, the warp drive pioneer behind NASA’s EagleWorks Lab, just stepped out of stealth with Casimir Inc. to unveil MicroSPARC: the first battery free chip to harvest continuous electrical power straight from the quantum vacuum via the Casimir force.

The 5 mm × 5 mm device uses millions of custom microscale Casimir cavities fabricated on a substrate. Inside each cavity, two fixed conductive walls create a region of negative vacuum pressure (the well known Casimir effect). Stationary micropillars anchored in the middle act as antennas. Electrons from the cavity walls then quantum tunnel to the pillars because the interior is a lower energy “quieter” zone — and the probability of tunneling back is orders of magnitude lower. This one way “quantum ratchet” flow generates a measurable DC current with no external power source or moving parts.

Prototypes already fabricated at university nanofab facilities (Texas A&M AggieFab, MIT.nano) have been tested in RF-shielded, low noise chambers for weeks. The team reports outputs ranging from millivolts to volts at picoamp to microamp levels using precision electrometers and Kelvin Probe Force Microscopy. Target performance for the first commercial chip: ~1.5 V at 25 µA (≈40 µW continuous). Stacking and scaling could reach milliwatts or even watts per device.

Initial applications are ultra low power: always on IoT sensors, wearables, and medical implants. Longer term roadmap includes trickle charging phones, powering small electronics, and eventually grid independent homes or EVs. Commercialization is targeted for 2028, starting at ~$100/W before dropping toward $10/W.

White ties the work directly to his earlier theoretical paper on emergent quantization from a dynamic vacuum and sees it as a practical power source for the deep-space missions he’s long championed.

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, and independent scientists have so far declined public comment. But if the engineering scales as hoped, MicroSPARC would represent a genuine paradigm shift: continuous, maintenance free power drawn from the fabric of spacetime itself.

A bold leap from warp-drive theory into real hardware. Progress (and vacuum-powered chips) marches on.

[SpaceX @SpaceX]

SpaceXAI and @cursor_ai are now working closely together to create the world’s best coding and knowledge work AI.

The combination of Cursor’s leading product and distribution to expert software engineers with SpaceX’s million H100 equivalent Colossus training supercomputer will allow us to build the world’s most useful models.

Cursor has also given SpaceX the right to acquire Cursor later this year for $60 billion or pay $10 billion for our work together.

for those of you who are autoresearch pilled , or have been meaning to get into autoresearch but dont know how - I shipped evo today - a opensource Claude Code plugin that optimizes code through experiments

you hand it a codebase. it finds a benchmark, runs the baseline, then fires off parallel agents to try to beat it. kept if better, discarded if worse.

inspired by @karpathy's autoresearch, but with structure on top:

- tree search over greedy hill-climb — multiple forks from any committed node
- N parallel agents in git worktrees
- shared failure traces so agents don't repeat each other's mistakes
- regression gates

Christmas week.

A time of relaxation. A time to spend with loved ones.

Also the perfect time to sit and quietly reflect on the fact that if you’re still doing the same thing as you’ve always been doing and it’s still not working for you, you’re a cunt. Cheers.

🇬🇧 DNA EVIDENCE PROVES "FIRST BLACK BRITON" WAS ACTUALLY A WHITE GIRL

For years, media outlets and academics claimed the Beachy Head Woman was of Sub-Saharan African descent, a narrative embraced as proof that ancient Britain was never truly white.

The BBC funded a plaque. School curriculums were rewritten. Social media erupted with celebration. All of it based on facial reconstruction, not genetics.

Now, new DNA analysis confirms she had blonde hair, blue eyes, and was born and raised on Britain’s south coast. No African ancestry. No migration story. Just another Briton from Roman-era England.

This wasn't a mistake. It was a manufactured myth, designed to retrofit history into a modern political agenda.

When science becomes a tool for ideology, it stops being science.
