"The human body generates more bio-electricity than a 120-volt battery and coupled with a form of fusion, the machines had found all the energy source they would ever need."
🌧️A wetter start to U.S. spring planting? The Climate Prediction Center favors an above-average precipitation scenario across the U.S. Corn Belt for April. Planting delays could result pending the timing/intensity. Typically, about 25-30% of U.S. corn is planted by April 30. https://t.co/96Z1EtnnTx
I read from an influencer nurse that measles is “going around”. She is selling vitamin A supplements. Having measles is not inevitable. Especially if a population is vaccinated. And that has been proven in the US for the past 30...

Artemis II SLS/Orion rollback to the launch pad is now set for tomorrow, Thursday, March 19, at 8:00 *pm.* It'll stream on NASA's YouTube channel.
It's the future it's possible that we'll use cells plus silicon for compute. In this experiment, scientists used a mouse brain organoid (brain-in-a-dish) to play a video game, showing living cells can solve digital tasks. Reaching 46% proficiency in a...
In late 2025, tools Like Claude Code crossed a threshold. Like hyperactive master's students, their physics calculations can now be made more reliable with domain expertise and some scaffolding. Check out Tobias Osborne's talk on using a swarm of...

The human brain uses only 20 watts of power but performs ~1 exaFLOP (10^18 operations/sec). Today's top AI chips burn 700 watts for ~1 petaFLOP. We're still ~1,000x less efficient than biology. When neuromorphic chips close that gap, we won't...
