The first 3 (short bite-sized) episodes are out for "FUTURA"—
—Lux's show shining spotlight on rebel inventors + entrepreneurs closing the gap between sci-FI <> sci-FACT
Ep 1: why brain machine interfaces won't be invasive
Full episode:
Ep:2 the hidden tech, hardware & software—behind cutting edge drone racing from @DroneRaceLeague
Full episode:
Ep 3: why the future of shared viewing may not be headsets with AR or VR —but full-color freespace complex light fields in glass like holograms out of StarWars...
Full episode:
Ep 4: why the future of every portal to spaces you enter—will have smarter access.
And how cutting-edge tech hardware + software blends trust, security + convenience—to even let strangers in

2/ this technical paper from Apple published year ago not widely discussed was the breadcrumb clue and the inspiration I have shared with many friends since....
3/ The paper introduces 2 methods called “windowing” + “row-column bundling” which allow devices to run models up to 2x DRAM size by storing model parameters in flash + loading them into DRAM as needed.
1/ 🛡️ The FUTURE of WARFARE isn’t a “revolution” but an evolution—a mix of drones, AI, and smart strategy. What’s the playbook for Taiwan, Ukraine, and beyond?
A quick high-level dive📡
2/ 🛰️ The Gulf War heralded stealth, precision, & GPS.
Today, uncrewed systems (drones) + AI define the battlefield. But there are limits. Attrition wars teach hard lessons.
3/ 🔥 UKRAINE's lessons for TAIWAN:
Drones disrupt but aren’t invincible.
Customized kamikaze drones carry ~5kg payloads, fly ~19km + force adversaries to spend $$$ on defense.
2/ More than 3.5 billion years ago, life on Earth emerged from chemical reactions.
Nature invented RNA, proteins, and DNA, the core molecules of life, and created the ribosome, a molecular factory that builds proteins from instructions in the genome.
3/ Proteins are wondrous dynamic molecules with incredible FUNCTIONS
-molecular engines powering motion
-photosynthetic machines capturing and converting to energy
-scaffolding building skeletons of cells
-complex sensors interacting with environment
-information processing systems running the programming operating system of life
1/ Quick thread 🧵important new paper 📜from @sfiscience on the THERMODYNAMICS of COMPUTATION...
Ever wondered why your gadgets get warm after using them for a while? As with cells🧫, brains🧠 and laptops💻––it's all about energy use and heat🔥....
2/ The key is "stopping times". In biology a cell might stop making a protein once it triggers a reaction from another cell. In simulations like a coin-flipping it may be once it reaches a set number of flips...
3/ Estimates are that computers use 5-9% of global energy (AI will only increase this📈). Biological systems on the other hand are 100,000x more energy-efficient...
