You can tell David will win just purely on vibes alone from scrolling his X profile for a few minutes
This is actually how all due diligence should happen
Using Microsoft Execution Containers (https://t.co/2growXMNL3), you can run OpenClaw natively on Windows, and the sandbox prevented deletion of all files on the Desktop. Running OpenClaw more safely in an enterprise is "pretty dope". :) https://t.co/wW2Y3dUm9r
For 19 years, GPS satellites have secretly broadcast a “numbers station” in their public signals. We decoded 12M messages: a 2011 flash where 31 of 32 satellites flipped in hours, “ghost” substrings repeating years apart, and a “TEXT” prefix spreading now. https://t.co/xz3svmqiDa
Deeply thankful to everyone who helped make this milestone possible, and to @InfiniteXYZ and @RibbitCapital for their partnership.
Excited for what comes next.
Programs like FIRST Robotics play an important role in inspiring the next generation of engineers, innovators, and technology leaders.
PDW's Chief Engineer in Huntsville, AL, Allen Bancroft, recently served as the Co-Judge Advisor for the 2026 FIRST Robotics World Championship in Houston, TX. A dedicated FIRST volunteer for the past 27 years, Allen helped lead the judging effort for more than 600 teams from around the world and supported the recognition of 112 student teams and achievements throughout this year's competition.
We’re honored to have PDW team members who give back to the STEM community in such meaningful ways. Congratulations to the students, volunteers and FIRST Robotics on another incredible year of inspiring youth to pursue education and careers in STEM-related fields.
A Chinese company is now selling spray-on coating that makes drones harder for radar to detect, available in buckets and applied with a spray gun. What was once a classified military technology is now a commercial product sold by the kilogram.

Another interesting article in the June 2026 issue of IEEE Microwave Magazine discusses a compact pixelated PCB-based bandpass filter!

HOW I USE CODEX AND CLAUDE CODE OPUS 4.8 TOGETHER:
After 24 hours of testing Opus 4.8 nonstop I've come up with the best system
Opus 4.8 is excellent. On Max thinking it is the smartest model I've ever used
The issue is, Codex as a harness is better than Claude Code
Opus 4.8 might have an edge on intelligence, but I enjoy using Codex (both desktop and mobile app) much more
Where Codex > Claude Code:
• More consistently tests its own code without me asking
• Does small things that make using it great like spin up servers without me asking and telling me exactly what to test and how to do it
• Automatically does computer use if need be to test itself
• A way more seamless desktop to mobile transition
• Doesn't require me to navigate between 3 tabs to use different functionality. Everything in one place.
Because of this Codex is still my main driver.
But where you get super powers is when you use them TOGETHER
Been working on some super hard problems the last day
I'll give the same large scale, challenging problem to both and have them both build plans
I then give the plans to the other agent. The Opus 4.8 plan ends up being better almost every time
So moving forward I have both agents up, but use Opus 4.8 to build plans for super challenging problems, then give them to Codex
Claude Code also will be able to solve some bugs much faster than Codex
It's funny, this is a 100% role reversal from 1 month ago
Anyway, that's the current best workflow. Codex for daily driving/on the go work. Claude for super challenging problems or fixing bugs Codex struggles with
But of course, this all can change with any given update
Don't have any loyalty. Use the best tools available to you. This is how you win.

The tactical drone market is moving fast, but the real challenge is no longer just building a drone. It’s building systems that operators can effectively deploy, adapt, sustain, and scale in real-world conditions.
PDW’s Chief Innovation Officer @rgury and Chief Technology Officer Dylan Hamm sat down with @InsideUnmanned to discuss the evolving Drone Dominance landscape, lessons learned from Gauntlet 1, and where the market is heading next.
The conversation covers:
• Operator workflows and reducing cognitive load
• Scaling pilot training and operational readiness
• Designing for contested EW environments
• Modular systems and payload flexibility
• Building domestic supply chains that can actually support mass production
Success on the battlefield will require companies to combine superior performance, manufacturability, and operational utility, not just demos and prototypes.
