Friendly Summer travel reminder: If you want to look like prey for bears, be running or bicycling on urban/forest pathways. Keep your earbuds in so you can't hear anything. Don't carry defensive mechanisms. Assume you're safe bc other people are surrounding and taking pics and they're not getting attacked... If you're in the wilderness, do your homework first and be smart.

Meta has announced it will donate Ray-Ban Meta AI glasses to all legally blind veterans in the United States, a program covering more than 130,000 people. The initiative was inspired by Don Overton, a US Army veteran who lost his sight in Desert Storm and worked with Meta's wearables team to develop features specifically meaningful for blind veterans. "When I lost my eyesight in Desert Storm from a bunker explosion, I also lost my independence. The moment I put on my Ray-Ban Meta glasses, I got my independence back," Overton said. The glasses allow users to identify objects, read documents, navigate surroundings, and manage everyday tasks using voice commands. Every pair comes with training support through the Blinded Veterans Association, including monthly webinars, in-person events, and a dedicated training guide for blind and low-vision veterans. Eligible veterans can request their glasses through bva.org/glasses. Meta is partnering with multiple organizations on the initiative including the Blinded Veterans Association, Tunnel to Towers, Homes for Our Troops, Lighthouse Guild, and the American Council of the Blind. #Meta #Veterans #AI #Accessibility #RayBan

This cowgorithm was trained on 7 billion hours of real cow behavior. Big ranchin’s changin’.
Peter Thiel invirtió en una startup que ponía collares inteligentes a las vacas. A primera vista parece una de esas ideas absurdas que aparecen en una reunión y que nunca llegan a ningún sitio. Pero hoy esa empresa vale más de 2.000 millones de dólares. Y cuanto más investigas cómo funciona, más sentido tiene. Todo empieza con un collar solar conectado a una red de antenas y a una aplicación en el móvil del ganadero. En lugar de construir vallas físicas, el ganadero dibuja una valla virtual sobre un mapa y el GPS del collar mantiene a cada animal dentro de esa zona. Cuando una vaca se acerca al límite: → El collar emite una señal sonora → Activa una pequeña vibración → Le indica hacia dónde debe moverse Las vacas aprenden estas señales en pocos días. El resultado es que un ganadero puede mover un rebaño completo simplemente desplazando una línea en una pantalla. → Sin abrir puertas → Sin instalar kilómetros de vallas → Sin recorrer continuamente el terreno Pero los collares son solo una parte de la historia. Mientras las vacas pastan, el sistema está registrando información constantemente: → Movimiento → Actividad → Comportamiento → Estado físico Hasta 5 lecturas por segundo para cada animal. Con esos datos, la IA puede detectar enfermedades, lesiones, periodos de fertilidad o partos próximos antes de que una persona pueda identificarlos recorriendo el campo. La empresa incluso tiene un nombre para esta IA: Cowgorithm. Y aquí aparece la verdadera ventaja competitiva. Ha sido entrenada con más de 7.000 millones de horas de comportamiento real de vacas. Por eso el negocio nunca fueron los collares. El negocio son los datos. Saben exactamente cómo se comporta una vaca sana, una enferma o una que está a punto de parir. Y eso les permite detectar anomalías casi al instante. Hoy la tecnología ya se utiliza en más de un millón de animales repartidos entre Nueva Zelanda, Australia y Estados Unidos. Incluso se ha empleado para gestionar el pastoreo en zonas con riesgo de incendios y reducir la acumulación de vegetación seca. Y todo cuesta entre 5 y 8 dólares al mes por vaca. Lo que antes requería kilómetros de alambradas, puertas y horas recorriendo terrenos enormes... Ahora puede gestionarlo una sola persona desde el móvil. La pregunta es: ¿Estamos viendo el futuro de la ganadería? Te leo en comentarios 👇

This was the most intelligent interview I have seen in quite a while. She actually listened to Gwynne and asked quick follow up questions. And frankly, I like hearing from Gwynne better than Elon about SpaceX anyway. Crisp answers about the 1-2 years future rather than getting caught up in far future stuff. Some nuggets: SpaceX is going to not only be building its own natural gas pipelines, but also extracting it itself. Gwynne called out AI companies as potential companies for SpaceX to acquire with their newly minted public stock. WRT Tesla, “I’m not focused on that part of the future” 😉

“Venture to the extremes. That’s where all the fun is anyway.“
Barbell strategy for killing it in an age of superhuman AI: Simultaneously get as close to AND stay as far away from AI as humanly possible. 1. Get close — play with AI models, use them to help you think, ask them to teach you about the world, get them to help you create, work with them to write code, understand what makes them tick, embed them into your everyday life, have fun. 2. Stay far away — learn to tell stories, make eye contact, build a team, lead with courage, connect far-flung ideas, build lifelong friendships, debate persuasively, think forbidden thoughts, handwrite ideas, confess your fears, fall in love. Spend less time trying to master mental transformations that are purely mechanical — building spreadsheets, analyzing trades, balancing accounts, writing code by hand, following playbooks, searching for needles in haystacks. These are the emerging no-man's land, squarely the domain of AI. Venture to the extremes. That’s where all the fun is anyway.

The most famous religious song in the world was not written as a prayer. You have heard Ave Maria a thousand times. Everyone assumes Franz Schubert wrote it as a setting of the ancient Catholic prayer, the Hail Mary, but he did not... This melody was never composed for the Latin prayer at all. In 1825, at the age of 28, Schubert was working his way through a German translation of a poem by the Scottish writer Sir Walter Scott, The Lady of the Lake. It is an adventure story, set among the warring clans of the sixteenth-century Scottish Highlands. In one scene, the heroine, a young woman named Ellen Douglas, is in hiding with her father in a mountain cave. Alone and afraid, she sings a song asking the Virgin Mary for help. Schubert set seven songs from that poem to music. Three of them were sung by Ellen, and this was the last of her three. He called it, plainly, Ellens dritter Gesang — 'Ellen's Third Song.' Its opening words were the two she would naturally cry out in her prayer: Ave Maria. That was all it took... The melody was so achingly beautiful that, in the years that followed, people began fitting the full Latin text of the actual Hail Mary prayer over his music. The fit was so natural, and the result so moving, that in the popular imagination the song became the prayer. Schubert died in 1828, at thirty-one. He had written more than six hundred songs, and much of his work was still unpublished and little known beyond a small circle in Vienna. He never knew that one melody, written for a fictional girl in a cave, would become one of the most beloved pieces of music in human history. It is a strange and beautiful thing. The most famous prayer ever set to music began as a song about someone who was simply afraid, and reaching, in the dark, for something to hold onto. Perhaps that is exactly why it has never stopped moving people. It was a real prayer before it was ever a holy one...

If you use a bug zapper you might want to build a bat house instead to get rid of mosquitos. Zappers are killing 🐝 & lightning bugs etc.
If you have a bug zapper up, it's time to take that shit down. A landmark University of Delaware study (Frick and Tallamy, 1996) counted nearly 14,000 insects killed by residential bug zappers over a single summer. Mosquitoes were 31 of them. A mere 0.22%. The other 99.78% were moths, beetles, midges, fireflies, and the night-shift pollinators your yard depends on. Mosquitoes don't navigate by light. They find you by your carbon dioxide, body heat, and skin chemistry. Your bug zapper is invisible to them and lethal to almost everything else. Harvard Medical School's Zika page specifically warns against bug zappers because they may increase mosquito populations by killing the predators that eat them. What actually works: eliminate standing water within 100 feet of where you spend time outside. Bug zappers are 1970s technology built on a 1970s misunderstanding of mosquitoes. It's time to take it down.

Some nursing homes struggle to attract visitors. One in the Netherlands chose to invite roommates instead. In the Dutch city of Deventer, a retirement home called Humanitas introduced an idea that would eventually gain attention around the world. Rather than accepting loneliness as a normal part of aging, they approached it as something that could actually be solved. For over ten years, Humanitas has allowed university students to live inside the nursing home rent free. In return, the students spend about thirty hours each month connecting with residents. Sometimes that means sharing meals, having conversations, helping with technology, joining activities, or simply keeping someone company during a quiet afternoon. They are not nurses or employees. They are simply part of the community. At first, the idea sounded like a smart response to expensive student housing. But the real impact appeared in the lives of the residents. Reports from outlets such as PBS NewsHour and AARP described seniors becoming more social, more active, and less isolated once younger people became part of everyday life. What makes the story even more meaningful is that many students chose to spend far more time there than the agreement required. Some even stayed connected after graduating. Over time, casual interactions turned into genuine friendships. Humanitas didn’t really create something new. It brought back something many societies once had naturally: different generations living side by side instead of separately. Maybe the issue was never aging itself. Maybe it was the distance we created between generations. Sometimes the most powerful ideas are simply old human connections rediscovered.
