President of @SpaceX Gwynne Shotwell on CNBC this morning on Starship: • Starship Flight 13 is about a month away. • Expect to see hopefully see Starship flights on a monthly basis after that. • SpaceX hopes to attempt orbital injection on Flight 14. • It’s realistic to have Starship reaching orbit by the end of 2026.

NEW: Amazon researchers are reportedly behind the jailbreak report that led to the U.S. crackdown on Anthropic’s top models.

StackOverflow's sale last year ended up being well-timed. The boilerplate / example code use case is increasingly better served by copilot. The "why isn't my code working" use case is about to get eaten by GPT-4 chatbots. What's left?

Optimus will be the biggest product ever made. A general-purpose humanoid robot that can do useful work at scale will change the economics of labor & manufacturing. Goal is to get Optimus to high-volume production as fast as possible. If you’re great at AI, engineering, or manufacturing & want to build this, join us! → tesla.com/careers/search/?qu…

Found research from May that shows e. coli "remember" environmental conditions their ancestors lived through and behave differently because of it, all without a brain, neurons, or a nervous system. Inherited proteins handle the memory. The mechanism is what's so cool. Different cellular components relax on different timescales, so the cell integrates its history as a power law instead of a single decay constant. This is an extremely elegant expression of memory as a biochemical hidden state, emergent from ribosome dynamics, that lets a granddaughter cell respond to stress it never personally experienced. It is also oddly close to the logic behind recurrent neural networks. My main takeaways are that memory might predate minds and a growing belief that AI is convergent with biological intelligence. paper: journals.aps.org/prxlife/abs…

Introducing Claude Fable 5: a Mythos-class model that we’ve made safe for general use. Its capabilities exceed those of any model we’ve ever made generally available.

Fable 5 is state-of-the-art on nearly all tested benchmarks, with exceptional performance in software engineering, knowledge work, scientific research, and vision. The longer and more complex the task, the larger Fable 5’s lead over our other models.

Quotes from the release today: 'Using Mythos 5, our internal protein design experts accelerated aspects of the drug design process by around ten times. In one example, they found that Mythos 5, with protein design and bioinformatics tools but no human assistance, matches or beats skilled human operators. In doing so, the model executes all of the tasks that are normally completed by a scientist: choosing binding sites, selecting and running protein design tools, and recovering from failures along the way.' 'During early testing, Stripe reported that Fable 5 compressed months of engineering into days. In a 50-million-line Ruby codebase, the model performed a codebase-wide migration in a day that would otherwise have taken a whole team over two months by hand.' 'Mythos 5 is our first model to consistently produce novel, compelling scientific hypotheses. In blinded head-to-head comparisons against Opus-class models, our scientists preferred Mythos’s molecular biology hypotheses ~80% of the time, and have advanced several to experimental evaluation. In the meantime, one Mythos hypothesis—a novel mechanism for an E. coli protein—was corroborated in a study from a lab independently working on the same problem.' 'Mythos 5 conducted novel genomics research in over a week of largely autonomous work. It assembled single-cell data for millions of cells spanning 138 animal species and designed and trained a custom machine learning model to identify cells performing the same role in even distantly related organisms. With only high-level human input, Mythos 5’s trained model outperformed a recent model published in the journal Science—despite being 100 times smaller. We intend to publish these results in the coming months.'

Introducing FrontierCode: a coding eval that raises the bar for difficulty & quality. Each task took 40 hrs of work by leading open-source maintainers. Models write sloppy code that works but isn’t maintainable. Our eval is first to measure: would you actually merge this code?

Atlas V is getting ready -- for the ninth time -- to deliver for Amazon! From launching the early Protoflight test spacecraft to the first batches of production satellites, United Launch Alliance continues to be a trusted partner in helping the Amazon Leo constellation connect the world. Today, we began the launch campaign for the next mission that will launch an additional 29 satellites in July! bit.ly/av_leo8 // @AmazonLeo

✈️ JUST IN: The X-59 has gone supersonic! The X-59 achieved supersonic speeds for the first time ever today — a major milestone for NASA’s Quesst mission and an important step toward upcoming flights that will demonstrate its quiet supersonic technology ahead of future community overflights. Fast now. Quiet soon. 🔊➡️🤫 Learn more: go.nasa.gov/4o8gENs #NASA #X59 #Quesst

Simply put, it's like a two-lane road suddenly turning into a 50-plus lane superhighway.

Long March 12B development was absolutely rapid: "Engineers completed the entire process, from initial design studies to final product development, in just 21 months, setting a new record for the development cycle of a new Chinese launch vehicle." news.cgtn.com/news/2026-06-0…

ドーナツ屋さんが入っているのも面白いですね！NASAをテーマにしたドーナツが売ってある！宇宙飛行士のマネキンと写真を撮れるのもいいし。ワシントンDCに行くときには必ず行ってみた場所です。
