We are meant to move.
A short daily walk helps delay Alzheimer’s by years. A recent study in Nature Medicine shows that walking just 3,000–5,000 steps daily can slow cognitive decline in those at risk for Alzheimer’s—and now we know why. Scientists from Mass General Brigham followed nearly 300

Started experimenting with hand-tracking-based interactions for my little voxel editor – BoxelXR. There are a lot of things to tune, but overall it feels good. Though it would require some decent work in sound design to compensate for the lack of haptic feedback.

One of the real value propositions for space exploration. We could build alien-level supercomputers on the moon, 100% powered by Solar, all while maintaining the Earth's natural beauty. Win-win.
The reason I’m rooting so hard for data centers in space is because I love planet Earth. Biology needs this special environment. Machines can thrive in space. I think finally we are on the verge.

Researchers have recorded the briefest interval of time ever measured: 247 zeptoseconds—the duration for a photon of light to traverse a hydrogen molecule. That's 0.000000000000000000247 seconds.A zeptosecond equals one trillionth of a billionth of a second, a realm where

Reminds me of the book series Eragon where magicians figured out how to knock out entire armies in an instant that lacked a form of protection. The drone battles of the future will be both terrible and extraordinary.
A drone show in China was disrupted after someone turned on a jammer causing the drones to simply fall out of the air. https://t.co/vhRBWedMZ7
