"Major breakthrough in the fight against the common cold." This lab takes pictures of viruses like the common cold. Found a secret "lock" and the key (the RNA) inside of it. You think I know anything about all this? Nah, I'm just another idiot on X when it comes to biological sciences. I just follow 50,000 smart people and then have Grok explain things that are way over my head to me. :-) I saw "big breakthrough" and read more. And we all get colds. So a major breakthrough deserves more than 40 reshares.
Today my laboratory is thrilled to announce a major breakthrough in the fight against the common cold and other diseases like hand,foot, and mouth disease acute flaccid myelitis caused by picornaviruses. We present the first structure of picornaviral 2C, bound to ssRNA (1/n)

My wife is running an event in San Francisco today for people who throw events. So I have a free day in San Francisco that I didn't schedule up. Any entrepreneurs want to meet up to show me what you are working on?

Newly out of stealth… worth a visit @Scobleizer
Westmag is building American robot actuators and drone motors at scale. In 2025, @westmagco raised $11M led by @a16z, with participation from @FoundersFund, @LuxCapital, NFDG, @MenloVentures, and other top investors. Since then, we’ve been building industrial capacity, crawling up supply chains, and securing high-volume customers. Now, we’re ramping production at our factory in South San Francisco to deliver against committed offtake orders from high-volume customers. Westmag is committed to scaling quickly in the US to deliver millions of drone motors and robot actuators to the surging domestic and global market. We’re building the great American motor and actuator company.

This is the single best read on World Models and one of the most important reads in AI. $10B has flowed into "world models" in the last 18mos, from Yann LeCun to FeiFei Li. The promise is, like LLMs, world models will provide the data it takes to scale robotics foundation models, and solve robotics. ..but the word has been abused to mean one of many things. This post unpacks: – What 5 traits makes a world model? – How do the different approaches stack up? – What is it used for within and beyond robotics? – Where is the opportunity? – Citations to research, news and blog posts Companies / products in the space include: – BigCo products: Google Genie, Tesla Optimus, Nvidia DreamDojo, DreamZero, Microsoft Muse – Pure world model: AMI Labs, World Labs, Runway, Rhoda, Decart, Spaitial, Odyssey, Embo, Dream Labs, OneWorld – Robot foundation model cos: Skild, Physical Intelligence, Figure, Mind Very likely one of the seminal technologies of the next decade.

How is the web changing due to AI? @kidehen gives me a master class. Reposted since the people who hacked me yesterday deleted it. Grok says it is a must watch. More in comments about what you will learn by watching it. Can't believe that it's been 25 years since Tim Berners-Lee posted his famous paper about the semantic web. Took that long to make it real, and here it is.

Breaking!! 🚨 Largest shared micromobility company @limebike is going public and just filed their S1. 🚀 Here is everything you need to know: 👉Revenue grew 29% to $886.7m in 2025, up from $686.6m in 2024 and $522m in 2023. 👉Net loss widened to $59.3m in 2025, vs $33.9m in 2024 👉Geography split (2025 revenue): - United States: 32% of total (~$284m) - United Kingdom: 22% (~$195m) - France: 10% (~$89m) - Rest of world: 36% 👉Gross profit hit $345.4m in 2025 (39% margin), up from $281m in 2024 👉Adjusted EBITDA reached $218.1m ( 42% YoY), with Q1 2026 already up 250% YoY to $7.5m. 👉Operating income turned positive at $70.4m in 2025 vs the $24.6m loss in 2023. 👉19 million riders served globally in 2025, across 230 cities in 29 countries. 👉Globally, Lime is nearly 3× the size of the next largest operator by monthly active users 👉E-scooters e-bikes operated under an exclusive distribution partnership with Uber, which drove ~14% of total revenue in 2025. 👉Marketing spend: just ~2% of revenue. 👉116% operational fleet retention rate in 2025 👉Accumulated deficit stands at $806m. Working capital is negative $529m. 👉4.3B shares in outstanding options and 2.1B RSU shares vest at IPO or thereafter. 👉Cash in the bank: $261.3m 👉Senior Secured Term Loan: $114.2m classified as current (due within 12 months). The IPO proceeds are earmarked specifically to repay this in full. 👉2020 Notes outstanding: $209.6m (includes the $85m @Uber Note $85m Investor Notes plus accrued interest). These convert to equity at IPO and so, not a cash obligation. 👉2021 Notes outstanding: $682.9m will also convert to equity at IPO, not repaid in cash. 👉Total debt converting at IPO: ~$892m, which is a massive equity dilution event for incoming shareholders. This is a massive milestone for the industry and one which we've been waiting for. Current debt level is concerning, but if the IPO is successful, most of the debt on the books will either convert or be repaid. ~30% growth at this scale is incredible! We've also seen similar growth numbers at @voitechnology. Market is still massive and current companies including Lime haven't covered enough. imo, there is much more room for growth. I'm hoping that the filing will be well received and that they have a successful IPO. If they do, every company in this segment will reap the rewards and may be many more will go public. Congrats @wayneting and the entire Lime team 👏

I recorded a 20-minute walkthrough of NovaStation — my personal AI operating system. This isn’t a chatbot window. It’s a live command center for my whole world: 🦊 Nova / Mission Control The home base. It tracks active systems, agent lanes, health checks, memory, alerts, drafts, approvals, and what needs my attention next. 📈 Market Swarm A multi-agent market intelligence layer watching MAG7, AI infra, metals, product trends, and crossover signals — filtering noise down into actionable themes. 🐕 iSpeakDog Dog Director My dog training/media automation wing. It handles content pipelines, Trello/Zapier routing, image generation, post review, and platform-specific publishing workflows. 🌳 Dee Dog Park / Charlie A dedicated Gemini-powered lane for Dee Dog Park operations: calendar, email, reservations, customer signals, and business support. 🏗️ iNovaVation / Builder OS A product-build dashboard for new ideas, internal tools, websites, experiments, and business lanes — including nightly build tracking. 🧠 NovaForget A memory and knowledge-base system that lets agents retain context, handoffs, decisions, lane history, and operational state across sessions. 🖥️ Skip / Dell Node A remote workhorse machine connected over Tailscale through OpenClaw Node, giving NovaStation access to another computer as part of the operating system. 🏛️ Boardroom / R&D Lab A place for agent debate, planning, research, strategy, and structured decision-making. 📬 Gmail / Calendar / Mail Room / Alerts Live operational panels pulling the boring-but-critical stuff into one place so I don’t have to chase ten apps. The wild part is that most of this is not mocked. These are real workflows, real agents, real automations, real APIs, real memory, real dashboards, and real businesses being wired together. The goal isn’t “AI assistant.” The goal is an AI-native command center where agents, tools, memory, automations, products, content, markets, and operations all live in one interface. NovaStation is becoming the dashboard I always wished existed. 🦊 20-minute screen record below. This is what it looks like when AI stops being a tab and starts becoming an operating system.

I’m giving this a try!
You took a 4K video on your iPhone. You want it on your Windows laptop. What are your options? Email it to yourself. Compressed and butchered. Upload it to Google Drive. Wait 10 minutes. Download. Wait 10 minutes again. WhatsApp. Crushed to 480p garbage. WeTransfer Pro. $144 a year to send files. Send Anywhere. $5.99 a month and capped at 20GB. AirDrop only works between Apple devices. Quick Share refuses to play with iPhones half the time. SHAREit got banned in India in 2020 for spying on users. In 2026, sending a file to the person sitting next to you still requires the internet, a cloud server, and a corporate middleman. Someone built a tool that sends files directly from any device to any device. No internet. No cloud. No account. No cable. It is called LocalSend. 78,000 stars on GitHub. 8 million downloads worldwide. Open the app on both devices. They find each other automatically. Tap send. Done. The file goes peer to peer over your Wi-Fi. Nothing leaves your network. Here's what it does: → iPhone to Android. Mac to Windows. Linux to everything. Any direction. → Send any file. No size limit. No 2GB WeTransfer ceiling. → Send entire folders, clipboard text, multiple files to multiple devices. → End-to-end TLS encryption. Certificates generated on the fly on each device. → No compression. No quality loss. The original file, as-is. → No account. No login. No email. No phone number. → Auto-discovery. QR code pairing if you want it. → Works on airplane mode if both devices are on the same Wi-Fi. Here's the wildest part: AirDrop only works between Apple devices. A $999 iPhone talking to a $999 MacBook. Same company. Same walled garden. Quick Share only works between Android and Chrome OS. Same company. Same walled garden. Apple and Google built these walls on purpose. They want you locked in. They want you to buy their hardware because "it works together." They want switching to feel impossible. LocalSend tears down every wall. iPhone to Android. Mac to Windows. Linux to iPad. Any device to any device. In seconds. LocalSend costs $0. Forever. No premium tier. No ads. No tracking. No file count limit. On the App Store, Google Play, Microsoft Store, Flathub, Homebrew, F-Droid. 78,000 stars. 4,200 forks. Apache-2.0 license. Built in Dart and Flutter. Active since December 2022. Your files. Your devices. No walls. 100% Open Source. (Link in the comments)
