We need other people to orient ourselves correctly. You must tether yourself to humanity or the isolation will spin you into despair. So seek it out! Attend an Omarchy Meetup. The future always looks brighter when we're working on it together.

The iconic Gate of the Orient in Suzhou boasts a stunning modern look, affectionately nicknamed the giant long johns by locals. It stands elegantly by Jinji Lake, blending trendy charm and unique architectural fun perfectly.

As always, Apollo is hiring! New this time around: Founding Staff for our DC office. It's becoming increasingly urgent and impactful to accurately communicate cutting edge research and its implications to the USG, orient their actions, and advance meaningful interventions.

Most multi-drone systems struggle with one thing: coordination under real-world constraints. A paper in Science Robotics from TU Delft proposes a model-based approach that lets multiple quadrotors jointly move and orient a cable-suspended load. BUT: without relying on learning or external sensors on the payload. Key results reported: > More than 8× acceleration of the load compared to previous state-of-the-art methods > Full obstacle avoidance while maintaining internal collision safety > Robust performance even when the load’s inertia model is uncertain > No sensors needed on the load itself Instead of data-driven models, they use a centralized trajectory optimizer that resamples past trajectories for smooth updates and stability. Each drone then executes its reference locally using onboard INDI control. It’s a reminder that not all progress in robotics comes from scaling models… some of it still comes from getting the physics and coordination right. 📍Paper: Video: —— Weekly robotics and AI insights.

We just launched Monaco. Here’s the exact playbook we used. I hope it's helpful to other founders and startups: 1. The launch video: most launch videos I see orient around some stressed out person at their desk or some philosophical approach to company building. Do not do this.

🇱🇧🇮🇷 Lebanon’s FM Youssef Raji declared the Iranian envoy’s continued presence VIOLATES a sovereign Lebanese decision that allows no exceptions. Normal relations can only resume once Tehran fully respects that order. He also ordered Iranian officials to stop meddling in Lebanon’s internal affairs after recent comments from Iran’s parliament speaker. Beirut is drawing a hard line against Iranian influence.

🚨Pennsylvania handed $5 million in TAXPAYER money to expand an Islamic school that calls American culture toxic and teaches students to spread Islam!! Did we mention the terror ties?! Make sure EVERYONE sees this! The grant, secured with help from Democratic State Rep. Malcolm Kenyatta and celebrated by Gov. Josh Shapiro at an iftar dinner, is the largest Pennsylvania has ever awarded to a Muslim organization. It will fund expansion of Al-Aqsa Academy from roughly 300 students toward a target of 3,000. Commonwealth records list the project simply as “Al Aqsa School Expansion.” The school’s own handbook featured a principal’s message titled “OUR CULTURE IS TOXIC TO MUSLIMS.” It warned that outside media teaches Muslim children how to dress, talk, and deal with the opposite sex. Official educational objectives call for students to develop an “Islamic world-view,” strengthen their Islamic identity, orient their lives toward worship of Allah, and “carry the message of Islam to his fellow Americans.” Current materials also advertise instruction in fiqh, the jurisprudence through which Islamic law is detailed. The parent mosque has a documented terror connection!! Men later convicted in the Fort Dix plot, who trained with weapons, surveilled military targets, and conspired to m*rder U.S. troops, attended the Islamic Society and performed free roofing work on the mosque before their arrests. Three received life sentences. A guest imam at the same mosque was translated telling worshipers that Muslims would “impose the word of Islam upon the world.” Pennsylvania taxpayers are now funding the massive expansion of a school that openly frames American culture as toxic, teaches Sharia jurisprudence, and directs students to evangelize. The same institution’s parent mosque was frequented by men who plotted to k*ll American soldiers. That combination should alarm every parent and taxpayer in the state. #Pennsylvania# #Sharia#
