“Hubo un tiempo en que pensé que no podía...y no pude. Creí que no sabía nada y nada supe. Pensé que no tendría fuerzas...y flaqueé. Creí que era demasiada carga y me caí. Subestimé mi capacidad y no fui capaz.

The Matrix took its name from a 1984 novel written on a manual typewriter by a man who didn't own a computer. 42 years later, that novel finally gets its own screen.

William Gibson typed Neuromancer on a 1927 Hermes portable. He coined "cyberspace" before he'd ever logged onto anything. The book swept the Hugo, the Nebula, and the Philip K. Dick award in the same year, the only novel ever to take all three.

Then Hollywood spent four decades strip-mining it while calling it unfilmable. The Wachowskis lifted the matrix, the jacked-in hackers, the AI pulling strings behind a corporate veil. Every razor-girl assassin in sci-fi traces back to Molly. Johnny Mnemonic, an actual Gibson adaptation, flopped so hard in 1995 that studios treated his work as radioactive for a generation.

At least five directors attached and detached over the years. Chris Cunningham in 2000. Vincenzo Natali in 2010. Tim Miller at Fox in 2017. Each attempt died the same death. By the time the technology existed to film Neuromancer, audiences had watched its ideas in a dozen movies that borrowed them first.

The original became unfilmable because it looked like a copy of its own copies.

Now the timing loops back on itself. A story about a rogue AI maneuvering to escape its corporate constraints, written before the web existed, lands in January 2027 as the least speculative thing on television.

And one detail makes the whole arc perfect. When Neuromancer royalties came in, Gibson bought his first computer, an Apple IIc. Four decades later, Apple is the company putting his book on screen.

“Hombres, ¿adónde se fueron? Vuelvan, por favor”

La autora de este artículo cuenta cómo observa que los hombres han desaparecido de muchos espacios y les dice que les echa de menos y que vuelvan.

Rachel Drucker describe una noche de sábado en un barrio de Chicago donde, en varios restaurantes, casi no hay hombres sentados en citas: solo grupos de mujeres o mujeres solas. Ella misma cenaba con un amigo y se dio cuenta de que esa ausencia no era casual, sino algo cultural y cada vez más frecuente. Cuenta que muchos hombres se han retirado de la intimidad y de las relaciones reales, escondiéndose detrás de pantallas, aplicaciones de citas y contenido pornográfico fácil y sin esfuerzo.

“No estaban sentados frente a alguien un sábado por la noche, intentando conectar. Se desplazaban por aplicaciones de citas. Curioseaban. Desaparecían detrás de cortafuegos, filtros y personas seleccionadas”, escribe. Según ella, antes los hombres se presentaban y se esforzaban; ahora muchos prefieren la estimulación limpia, rápida y sin fricción, evitando la vulnerabilidad y el compromiso.

La autora no los culpa, pero sí les echa de menos. Dice: “Los extrañamos. No solo yo, sino el mundo que una vez ayudaron a formar”. Y termina pidiéndoles que regresen: “Vuelvan. No con flores ni fuegos artificiales, sino con voluntad. Con todo su hermoso e imperfecto corazón. Nosotras seguimos aquí. Y no hemos dejado de tener esperanza”.

I've personally machined jet engine components out of an assortment of Nickle alloys.
Here are the most common ( I have machined all of these. They suck.) Very hard to cut even with the finest machine tools and cutting tools available to man.

Nickel-based alloys (usually called nickel superalloys) are critical in jet and rocket engines because they maintain strength, resist oxidation, and handle extreme temperatures. Here are five of the most widely used and important ones:

⸻

1. Inconel 718

One of the most common aerospace superalloys
Excellent strength up to ~700°C (1290°F)
Great fatigue, corrosion, and creep resistance
Used in turbine disks, compressor blades, and rocket engine components
Extensively used by companies like NASA and SpaceX

⸻

2. Inconel 625

Outstanding corrosion and oxidation resistance
Performs well in extreme environments (including seawater and exhaust gases)
Slightly lower strength than 718 but more versatile chemically
Used in exhaust systems, afterburners, and rocket plumbing

⸻

3. Rene 41

High-temperature strength up to ~980°C (1800°F)
Excellent creep resistance
Used in turbine blades and afterburner parts
Common in military and high-performance jet engines

⸻

4. Hastelloy X

Exceptional oxidation resistance at high temperatures
Good fabricability and weldability
Used in combustion chambers and transition ducts
Performs well in oxidizing atmospheres

⸻

5. Waspaloy

Strong at very high temperatures (~870°C / 1600°F)
Better creep resistance than Inconel 718 at higher temps
Used in turbine disks, shafts, and high-stress rotating components

All of the above are often found in both commercial and military jet engines

NASA has successfully demonstrated swarm technology in space using multiple small CubeSats.

These spacecraft worked together by sharing data and making collective decisions after spending 10 months in orbit.

The mission was successfully completed on May 29, 2024.

🚨Architects are going to hate this.

Someone just open-sourced a full 3D building editor that runs entirely in your browser.

No AutoCAD. No Revit. No $5,000/year licenses.

It's called Pascal Editor.

Built with React Three Fiber and WebGPU -- meaning it renders directly on your GPU at near-native speed.

Here's what's inside this thing:

→ A full building/level/wall/zone hierarchy you can edit in real time
→ An ECS-style architecture where every object updates through GPU-powered systems
→ Zustand state management with full undo/redo built in
→ Next.js frontend so it deploys as a web app, not a desktop install
→ Dirty node tracking -- only re-renders what changed, not the whole scene

Here's the wildest part:

You can stack, explode, or solo individual building levels. Select a zone, drag a wall, reshape a slab -- all in 3D, all in the browser.

Architecture firms pay $50K+ per seat for BIM software that does this workflow.

This is free.

100% Open Source.

Why did SpaceX choose 301 stainless steel for Starship? According to Elon Musk:

●Becomes nearly 2× stronger at cryogenic temperatures.

●Withstands extremely high temperatures.

●Delivers the lowest mass for a fully reusable spacecraft.

●Costs up to 50× less than carbon-fiber composites.

●Can be welded outdoors without specialized facilities.

●Highly resistant to all weather conditions.

●Easy to cut, repair, and reuse, even for manufacturing on Mars.

[Chris Hadfield @Cmdr_Hadfield]

Amazing to see how well this spaceship survived.
First-ever soft splashdown that left Starship intact & floating, allowing close-up inspection of the heat shield tiles after the wicked heat of reentry.
Onwards to catch it next time - congrats to the whole team @SpaceX !

When I see the clip, it starts to scare me a little. Especially when you imagine the use cases.

The investors who win big aren't right more often. They're wrong more cheaply

stan druckenmiller compounded roughly 30% a year for three decades without a losing calendar year

the lesson most investors want from him is how to stand against the crowd

the useful lesson is why he does not need to

crowd agreement changes how intelligent a trade feels

it does not change the payoff

jeff bezos wrote:

"given a 10% chance of a 100x payoff, you should take that bet every time"

across enough attempts, nine failures can cost 9x

one winner can return 100x

you were wrong 90% of the time and the arithmetic still worked

the same shape appears across the entire stock market

the best-performing 4% of US companies created all the net wealth generated since 1926

the remaining 96%, collectively, only matched one-month treasury bills

this is the machine:

cap each failure

leave the winner open

place enough bets to reach the outlier

size them so you survive until it arrives

being contrarian can make you look independent while leaving you with capped upside and fatal downside

the crowd only tells you who agrees

the payoff tells you whether being right matters

ONE COPY OF THIS MOVIE WEIGHS 384 KILOGRAMS

Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey was shot entirely on IMAX film.

A single 70mm print is so massive that Cinemark had to show people how it even gets loaded into the projector.

- One print stretches 640,000 meters of physical film
- That same print weighs 384 kilograms, heavier than a grand piano
- The movie cost 375 million dollars to produce and market combined
- Only 41 theaters on the planet are built to run a copy this size

This is not a movie file. It is basically cargo.

A guy just turned standard home Wi-Fi into a radar that sees through walls.

Over 62,000 stars on GitHub for a system that tracks humans without using a single camera lens.

It doesn’t just know you’re there.

Watch what happens when a person lies down on a bed in another room.

The AI instantly maps their exact posture, tracks their breathing, and calculates their heartbeat in real-time.

No optical surveillance, no privacy leaks - it just analyzes how your body disrupts ordinary radio waves.

The whole thing runs on a tiny $5 microchip.

Traditional security requires a direct line of sight and invades your personal space.

Now, your Wi-Fi router is a camera that sees through solid brick.

Anthropic Engineer Andrej Karpathy:

"The biggest mistake in AI right now: people are forcing agents to work instead of mastering the model first.

We made that mistake in 2016 at OpenAI. It cost us 5 years."

What Karpathy actually means:

step 1 → stop forcing your agent to do everything. Understand the model underneath first.

step 2 → demos are easy; products take a decade. Self-driving proved it. If you skip the foundation, everything breaks.

step 3 → the agent is not the product. The foundation is. Build that—and agents emerge on their own.

"You're building agents right now. You're at the forefront. Not OpenAI. Not DeepMind. You."
