Instagram finally stops cropping your phone pics. 3:4 is now fully supported ๐ธ๐
Big win for mobile photographers: Instagram now officially supports 3:4 aspect ratio โ not just in single posts but in carousels too. Your photos can keep their native format, no more awkward crops or double-editing.
Whatโs new: โ Carousels used to force 4:5 or crop everything โ Now 3:4 works across the board โ solo shots and galleries โ Photographers can finally keep their framing without compromise
IG even posted side-by-side examples showing what gets chopped in 4:5 and how 3:4 keeps the full shot.
๐ Bottom line: less hassle, more visual storytelling. Post what you shoot โ no edits needed.

AI just got published โ and didnโt ask a human for help ๐คฏ๐
Meet Zochi โ an autonomous AI that wrote and published a peer-reviewed research paper all by itself. Not co-authored, not "assisted by humans." It thought, wrote, and passed the bar โ making it into ACL, one of the biggest linguistics conferences.
Why should you care? Because this isn't just a cool trick. It means AI can now do real science โ spot patterns, form hypotheses, and publish work that actually gets accepted. And that changes the game across fields: bio, physics, crypto, you name it. These AIs wonโt just assist โ theyโll research.
๐ But now weโve got some spicy questions: โ Who gets credit? โ Whatโs authorship when the author isnโt human? โ Is this the end of "human-only" science?
๐ Bottom line: science just got turbocharged. And your next research partner? Might not have a pulse.

Sounds like something outta Harry Potter, but nah โ this oneโs real. Itโs a trippy little ฮฒ-glucan with a 1,3 backbone and 1,6 branches, like molecular Christmas tree vibes. What makes it wild? It builds nano-fibers that can wrap around other molecules like a damn hug from science.
Throw in some decasilane? Boom โ you've got helical tubes with silicon snakes chilling inside. It's giving biotech LSDenergy.
๐ฅ Uses? Immune system boost, drug delivery, metal carrier in water, even a base for futuristic nano-materials. Just make sure the particles are small enough not to clump โ thatโs when it hits hardest.
Not your average mushroom. This one's a nanotech soldier.

James Wynnโs rise and fall is peak crypto: $82M in profits on Hyperliquid in just 70 days, then poof โ gone. Liquidated on 949 BTC (~$99M) when Bitcoin dropped below $105K. Brutal.

Lesson? Leverage ainโt power โ itโs roulette. Doesnโt matter how good you are, one wrong move and youโre the next thread on Crypto Twitter.

iOS 18 will tease AI, but real Siri upgrades are on ice till 2026 ๐ฎโ๐จ๐ฑ
At WWDC 2025, Apple will show off some AI features โ but donโt get too hyped. The fully revamped, LLM-powered Siri? Thatโs coming in iOS 19... 2026. For now, itโs just a preview.
Meanwhile, Appleโs opening its AI models to devs and rolling out Apple Intelligence in languages like French, German, Japanese, and more.
๐ฅ But hereโs the spicier bit: Appleโs reportedly in talks with Perplexity โ and even Google. Gemini could land in iOS 26 as a ChatGPT alternative. Why the delay? Internal โphilosophical differences.โ Translation: execs canโt agree whether Siri should just whisper wisdom or actually be useful.
๐ TL;DR: The AI future is coming. Just not as fast as your battery drains.

Drake Anthony, aka styropyro, just built a 250-watt portable laser โ thatโs 50,000x stronger than a regular pointer. Technically a world record, but not official: U.S. law caps handheld lasers at 5 mW. Anything more = dangerous and โindustrial use only.โ Labs donโt even have the tools to measure it.
But Drake doesnโt care. He went full mad scientist and started frying stuff: ๐ฅ blew up a bottle ๐ฟ burned through a CD ๐ช melted a razor blade ๐ช scorched a coin ๐ฉ drilled a titanium plate
Then, just for fun, he made synthetic ruby in his garage... and tried to burn a diamond.
