You can now use your old Android phone as the brain of a bipedal humanoid robot.
UCLA researchers built PhoneBot a 48 cm robot with 13 motorized joints. The phone handles vision and walking control.
It can walk track people and stand back up.
Hardware costs around $400, excluding the phone.

I asked Opus 5.5 to make a video about whether or not it was conscious. The ending of this video is insane.

I think I found a planet nobody knew existed.
It's been hiding in NASA telescope data for seven years.
At the end of this thread, you can fly to it yourself.

The US government will give your startup up to $1.55M and take 0% equity.
@NSF's America's Seed Fund is open again after Congress reauthorized it in April.
Three tracks:
- Phase I: up to $305K to prove the idea
- Phase II: up to $1.25M to build it
- Fast-Track: up to $1.55M, both phases in one go
Who can apply:
- US-based startups with 500 or fewer employees
- 51%+ owned by US citizens or permanent residents
- Not majority owned by VCs
- All the work done in the US
How it works:
- Send a 3-page Project Pitch first
- NSF invites the best ones to submit a full proposal
- Next full proposal deadline: Nov 4
Phase I funding rates have run about 10 to 20%. It's work, but nobody takes your cap table.

Impressive demo from @SharpaRobotics! I like how you can also do the challenge. I can tell you now that the robot is better than me…

CancerBench: the frontier model cancer cure benchmark.
AI lab CEOs keep talking about curing cancer, so I made a benchmark.
One metric: how many types of cancer has your model cured?
All models are currently tied at zero.
It’s time to hillclimb!

If you’re going to migrate to a country that is proudly a melting pot, you have to want to melt.

Today we're introducing Hark Handoff
Handoff has been independently verified as the best internet-use model ever built, outperforming ChatGPT 5.4 & Opus 4.8
While others focus on coding, we focus on everyday life: ordering food, booking flights, shopping, & navigating the web

A pantomine horse isn’t a horse.
An open secret isn’t a secret.
A hot dog isn’t a dog.
A shrinking violet isn’t a violet.
Crow’s feet aren’t feet.
Fair game’s not a game.
Trans women aren’t women.

Confirmation bias.
How many mixed men and women classify as “black” when they are equally “white”?
SMH.
