Global datacenter CapEx spending rivals Manhattan Project scale
By
–
Even inflation-adjusted, annual global datacenter CapEx today is roughly equivalent to 5–7 Manhattan Projects per year (≈$250–300B vs. ≈$25–30B in today’s dollars for the Manhattan Project).

Mac Mini Strategy for Enterprise AI Adoption in Silicon Valley
By
–
Gotta start somewhere. A Mac Mini is just easier to get onto hundreds of people's desks and get them to use it since most people in Silicon Valley use Macs anyway.

Ok, technically it's a truncated icosahedron protective cage around a drone. But look at it.
→ Safe around people
→ Props fully protected
→ Cage crumples on impact so the drone doesn't
→ Won't snag on obstacles
→ Rolls on contact —… pic.twitter.com/v9WPJbx52GGoodAI is building a tiny Death Star. Ok, technically it's a truncated icosahedron protective cage around a drone. But look at it. → Safe around people

MIT engineers built an AI wristband that controls robots by reading your hand muscles.
— Rowan Cheung (@rowancheung) 17 avril 2026
It works by using an ultrasound to capture images of the muscles and tendons in your wrist.
An AI algorithm then translates those images into the exact position of all 5 fingers, tracking 22… pic.twitter.com/hnCOS0BgQQMIT engineers built an AI wristband that controls robots by reading your hand muscles.
