That’s really cool. @TheB1M you should check this out.
Introducing SKY-001, the first Engineering World Model. On CAD and BIM tasks, it beats GPT-6 Astra and every frontier model we tested: -> 51-125x faster - > 150-210x cheaper -> Higher IOU than all frontier models SKY-001 lets you dream a physical object before you build it. 18 months of work. Built by the team out of Maluuba's deep learning lab (acq. by @MSRResearch). The first ‘AI General Engineer’ will be the backbone for Autonomous Manufacturing.

More validation for my anti-Ledger status.
Situation Update: Ledger can confirm that one of the impacted users’ devices contained an unauthorized hardware implant. Ledger is reaching out to impacted users as part of the ongoing investigation. If you have information regarding the investigation, please reach out to Ledger’s bounty program: [email protected]. As a measure of precaution CryptoBilis confirmed it has ceased sales of all hardware wallet inventory until the investigation is concluded. Ledger is in active communication with CryptoBilis on next steps. Ledger is working with the appropriate authorities to bring the bad actors to justice, and thanks @SEAL_911 for their collaborative support on the investigation. We have no indication that Ledger’s security infrastructure, systems or services have been compromised. As a reminder, Ledger recommends users who purchased a Ledger device from this reseller to not initiate set up if they have not yet done so. If you have set up your Ledger device, consider moving assets to a new Ledger signer (with a new seed). Security is a constantly evolving landscape; Ledger is continuously adding security mitigations and is working on further, enhanced anti-tampering solutions. Scammers often try to take advantage of incidents like this. Rely only on official Ledger channels for updates, and remember: Ledger will never ask for your 24-word recovery phrase. For assistance or questions, contact Ledger customer support through our official channels: support.ledger.com

Try calling @Rogers Business support. Office is closed for TRC day. Try accessing the Online Business Manager. It’s unavailable, for some reason, and the error message suggests calling. But the office is closed. 🤦‍♂️

BREAKING: The EU and Canada are set to announce a massive "all encompassing" partnership which will range from trade to security after President Trump's latest tariffs, per Bloomberg. Details include: 1. Canada and the EU seek to build a new alliance to "offset the global power politics dominated by the US and China" 2. The partnership is expected to be announced on September 16th 3. Short of EU membership, the EU and Canada want to "get as close as legally possible" 4. Canada was also the first country outside of the EU to join the EU’s $175 billion military procurement fund The trade war and AI are redefining global power dynamics.

It’s really odd to see how far behind the flooring industry is in terms of technology. Barely any use of EDI, the leading ERP software is so antiquated and crazy expensive. It’s so ripe for disruption.

I’ve had to re-learn Windows keyboard shortcuts, after using almost exclusively Apple products since 2015, because I’m back in a Windows environment at my new job. 😅 I still get to use Claude, though!

Well, that’s one way to GTM 🫣
NEW investigation for @WSJ: - Polymarket is paying scores of offshore clippers to quietly promote its international exchange in the U.S. (though it’s banned from letting Americans trade on the platform) - Polymarket made dummy websites mirroring its real site, then paid creators to use the fake site and pretend to win thousands. - Creators altered headlines and used outdated footage to imply they won bets—even when they often lost - Polymarket paid Adin Ross multiple millions to promote the site All that and more in my latest story with @ByKLong @ceostroff @brenna__smith

"We use AI for support." Cool. So does everyone else. The question isn't whether you use AI, it's what happens when AI gets it wrong. Here's how we think about the AI + human balance here at ChainCare 🧵

I told myself 2026 was going to be my best year yet. Almost half way through the year, and in some ways it is among my least favourite years so far. There is still lots to look forward to, but it's going to take even more work than I though to achieve my goals. ✌️

It’s time to stress test this network!

2021: Communities moved together 2022-2025: Quest farming and AI slop killed that energy 2026: Communities earning together again Zaps brings back the 2021 spirit, this time with onchain attribution. app.zaps.wtf/
Attention is getting monetized. Impact isn’t. Attribution in onchain economies is an unsolved problem. Highest emissions are directed to the lowest quality of users and communities. Zaps ⚡️ is the answer.
