@OctaBlazaEh @TheMMAholes When on bottom, yeah. She could have easily taken Dern down, rather than fake shots and plan to standup. You're not very good at this.

@MMAdamMartin He gave her the worst gameplan going into the fight.

@MMACrazy I feel so bad for Gillian. She can find a new gym and really be a force with the right coaching.

This is one of the more unusual flying robots I have seen.

Researchers at the University of Tokyo built DRAGON, a transformable aerial robot that can change its shape while flying.

Instead of a rigid frame, it is made of four linked segments.

Each segment has two ducted rotors mounted on gimbals, so every link can redirect thrust independently.

• The robot controls its full pose in SE(3) while reshaping mid-air
• It can form different geometries to stabilize itself or interact with objects
• The navigation stack computes the most efficient shape for the current task
• It lifts over 3 kg, which is unusually high for this class of system

This effectively turns a drone into a flying manipulator. Not a gripper bolted on top, but the airframe itself becomes the manipulator.

The authors also mention an interesting idea for range extension: letting the robot walk on the ground when flying is not required.

An industrial robot arm stripped down with its casing off…

Yesterday I saw this video, and looking inside at those synchronized timing belts, pulleys, and heavy-duty parallel shafts running at full tilt tells you everything you need to know about the reality of physical automation.

Of course, the folding demos and general-purpose robot videos are exciting.

But on the shopfloor, the reality will still be specialized robotics for quite a while.

Period.

Repeatability, accuracy, uptime. It has to run, and run, and run.

Back when I was at Siemens, we had machines that were 50 years old and still in production. Because they were precise, reliable, and still did the job every day.

That is easy to forget when watching the latest demos.

Your thoughts literally reshape your brain.What you repeatedly focus on doesn't just linger in your mind—it physically changes its structure.

By intentionally directing your attention toward the positive, you begin forging and strengthening neural pathways that make it easier to notice and appreciate more good things. This is neuroplasticity at work: your brain's lifelong ability to create new connections in response to your focus, emotions, and habits.

Every time you pause to savor a kind act, a small achievement, or a simple moment of beauty, you're reinforcing the neural circuits that help you view the world with greater clarity and calm. With consistent practice, this becomes your brain's new default—automatically tuning in to what's right rather than dwelling on what's wrong.

The payoff includes reduced stress, improved emotional stability, and stronger mental resilience against life's challenges.This isn't about denying difficulties; it's about actively training your brain to seek out opportunities and solutions instead of getting trapped by obstacles.

The exciting part? You're in control—you can start rewiring these pathways any time you choose.Give it a try: Spot one positive thing today.

Tomorrow, look for two. Soon, make it five. And then watch what happens.

Cern is shutting off tomorrow morning. For four years. Nobody believes these theories until they look back and realize how crazy timelines have become. We’re about to ascend. Life is going to look A LOT different for us, whatever that timeline ends up being for each and everyone idk! But just remember, you literally create your own reality, make these next 4 years count! ❤️

This is one is my favorite. Owned by the same family for 33 generations.

Jeff Bezos says taxing people who make around $50,000 a year is “absurd” and thinks many lower-income Americans shouldn’t pay any federal income tax.

He cited examples like an Amazon employee earning $50,000 and a nurse earning $75,000, saying the money they send to Washington would do more good in their own pockets.

Bezos noted that the bottom half of taxpayers account for only a small portion of federal income tax revenue, arguing that cutting their tax bill to zero would have little impact on government finances but could greatly help working families.

AI will democratize healthcare before it democratizes anything else. Why you ask? Because the stakes are the highest and the inefficiencies are the most ABSURD. Anyone that has been through the system knows this.
