Traffic has rebounded sharply since the US-Iran MoU/deal around June 17–18, 2026, which eased the effective blockade and sanctions waivers. However, it remains volatile, below pre-war levels.

Gavin Baker described how in ~3 years (around 2028–2029), a bigger/bulkier iPhone with enough extra DRAM could run a pruned/distilled/quantized version of a frontier model like Gemini 5 (or Grok 4.x / ChatGPT equivalent) at 30–60 tokens per second on-device. This would be free, private, and good enough for most users. An enhanced future iPhone ... Read more

SpaceX + xAI + Tesla to WIN AGI Not Robotaxi. AGI supremacy. 2. Why merge at all? Because AI is WAY BIGGER than Robotaxi. Merging creates:$140B+ combined cash for AI spending Frictionless capital allocation (no board votes, no transfer pricing, no negotiations) One P&L, one balance sheet = Elon moves at max speed Peter Thiel ...

Starfall is SpaceX’s new uncrewed disk-shaped cargo return capsule (launched on its first demo flight today, June 23, 2026, aboard a Falcon 9). It is a flat, low-profile vehicle (~3.1 m diameter × 0.75 m tall) designed for rapid, high-volume return of up to ~1,000 kg of payload from orbit — especially for in-space manufacturing ...

Today SpaceX deployed and demonstrated the Starfall low cost capsule return system. This a demo of a new vehicle that will enable affordable, routine access to the microgravity environment for scientific research and in-space manufacturing. After demonstrating controlled flight, the spacecraft will splash down in the Pacific Ocean Today’s mission includes a demo of a ... Read more

Practical podcast interview with Matt Pocock (AI engineering educator and creator of popular agent skills). The core message is that the model is important, but the harness (your skills/prompts/procedures + environment + workflow) matters just as much or more. XAI bought Cursor because it is a top level harness and they have the data and ... Read more

Cursor is training its own Opus-class model from scratch. They are no longer fine-tuned on open-source model like Kimi K2. This is a major step up in capability and independence. They are using the 10-20X compute provided by xAI and Colossus 2. In a few weeks the 1.5 trillion parameter coding model and harness. Then ... Read more

People are not super-excited about the SpaceX Starfall test tomorrow. This is a hockey puck shaped space vehicle that will be released from a Falcon 9 flight that goes to orbit or near orbit. It is a heat shield capsule that will hold about 1000 kg of payload and has some cold thrusters and parachutes ... Read more

Post-spacetime physics refers to the idea that our familiar 4D spacetime is not fundamental but emerges from deeper structures—whether geometric (fiber bundles, higher-dimensional manifolds), quantum (entanglement, information), or vacuum effects. Eric Weinstein’s Geometric Unity (GU) proposes a 14-dimensional geometric framework (involving a metric bundle over 4D spacetime) from which the Standard Model forces, gravity, and ... Read more
