As tensions between Washington and Beijing are increasingly beginning to resemble a new cold war, some products could end up having two separate supply chains — one for the Chinese market and one for much of the rest of the world

Trump just rolled up to Beijing's Temple of Heaven — a UNESCO spot where emperors used to pray for good harvests. Very symbolic, very diplomatic. But given his first-term trade war and ongoing tensions with China, this photo-op feels like a soft image play. The rivalry hasn't changed — just the backdrop.

HAPAG-LLOYD HIT WITH $60M WEEKLY COSTS FROM HORMUZ DISRUPTION Shipping giant Hapag-Lloyd says the Strait of Hormuz disruption is costing the company up to $60 million per week. CEO Rolf Habben Jansen said higher fuel costs and rerouting cargo by truck and rail are driving the increase, adding that freight rates will likely rise to offset expenses. The company also reported a quarterly loss of €219 million and said four of its vessels remain stranded in the Persian Gulf amid ongoing regional tensions.

Jensen called this “probably the single most important chart for the future of AI factories”. Y-axis is “Throughput” (total volume) while X-axis is “Token Speed” (more tokens per second = more interactivity for a user + more context + more reasoning). Cerebras IPO very much about the chart. Firms market and price token offerings on those two variables, which are in tension. A free tier typically is high throughput but lower token speed. Meanwhile, the priciest tier would have lower througput but high-value tokens (eg. research, coding) SemiAnalysis makes the analogy of a “bus vs a Ferrari: you can choose to serve lots of users slowly, a single user quickly, or anything in between.” Nvidia’s challenge is to build systems that lift the entire line up and to the right. Jensen says Vera Rubin architecture improves revenue opportunity 5x vs. Blackwell. Then, if you add Groq to Vera Rubin, that revenue opportunity is up 10x vs. Blackwell. Groq is Nvidia’s option for delivering the higher value tokens at speed, which is the same market that Cerebras is targeting. Cerebras is attacking the problem with a massive, single-wafer design. Meanwhile, Groq uses multiple, smaller, connected chips and a specialized processor architecture design (Language Processing Unit aka LPUs).

Mark Cuban explains how to launch a company without raising a single dollar: Cuban argues that the vast majority of small businesses can get off the ground without any outside capital at all. "Most businesses, I'd say at least 90, if not 95% or more percentage of small businesses, startups can start without raising any capital at all. You just use sweat equity." His advice is to start lean: "You just have to try to start smarter, smaller." But Cuban is honest that the early stage isn't glamorous. The real challenge, he explains, comes down to a tension between paying your bills and building something of your own. "The hard part for most people is that tradeoff between do I keep my job or how do I start a company when I have a job? I worked as a bartender at night." @mcuban continues: "Whatever you have to do, that's part of being an entrepreneur. So if you have to work on weekends, you have to Uber at night, Uber on weekends so you have some income coming in so you can work on your... company, or you work your regular job during the week and at night and weekends, that's when you work on your startup." For Cuban, this is actually the good news, because it means the door is open to anyone willing to put in the hours: "Anybody can be an entrepreneur if they're willing to work their ass off 24 hours. That's what it takes." He sums it up with a line that captures the whole philosophy: "Entrepreneurs work 80 hours so they don't have to work 40."

Dear ICP community, the Internet Computer has now been running strong for 5 years 👏👏👏 Here is a celebratory preview of ICP "cloud engines," the sovereign frontier cloud technology the network shall soon provide from Main points: — Cloud engines enable anyone to spin up their own sovereign frontier cloud. The technology involves an extraordinary inventive step, in which cloud is created from a mathematically secure network of nodes. The nodes run as part of the Internet Computer network ( but are selected and configured by the cloud engine's owner. — The frontier cloud provided by engines is strongly focused on enabling AI agents to build and update online applications and services for us. The world is changing fast, and nearly all new online apps and services are already being built with the help of AI, and thus cloud engines target the future of cloud. — Software hosted on cloud engines is tamperproof, which means that it is immune to infrastructure hacks, because it runs inside a mathematically secure network protocol, rather than on computers directly. This means that AI agents, and those building with them, don't need to have a security team in the loop, or to trust someone else's security team. This is crucial, because in the future, non technical people will demand the freedom to build with full automation — where they just need to issue instructions to AI about what to build, and don't need to worry about anything or anyone else. Of course, apps and services running on engines are also vastly safer from the new breed of hacker being enabled by frontier AI. (The cloud engines themselves are also "tamperproof." Even if a hacker gains physical access to some portion of a cloud engine's nodes, and can make arbitrary changes, the computations and data of the hosted apps and services cannot be corrupted or interrupted so long as the network's fault bounds aren't exceeded. The recent hack of Vercel, a major cloud platform, which gave hackers access to the apps it hosted, provides additional perspective on the importance of this advantage.) — Software hosted on cloud engines is guaranteed to run, so long as a sufficient number of the engine's nodes are running. This means that AI can build applications and services without the need to have a human systems admin team constantly tinkering with the underlying platform to keep it running, which is again crucial, because in the future, non technical people will expect the freedom to use AI to build without the support of others. — New frontier programming language technology, in the form of the Motoko language developed by Caffeine Labs, leverages seminal "orthogonal persistence" technology that unifies program logic and data to deliver further unlocks for AI (Motoko is the first computer language being developed that targets agents that are writing software rather than humans engineers per se). Nowadays, AI can build and update production apps at a prodigious rate, even at the speed of conversation. But it can also make mistakes, and there's a risk that an update it creates might be "lossy" in the sense it causes some transformed data to be lost. Again, in this new world, it's both undesirable and impractical for everyone to have to have a systems admin team on-hand to detect lossy updates and roll them back, but Motoko provides a solution: it can detect new software updates are lossy before they are applied, reducing potentially catastrophic errors by AI to harmless coding retries. — Software hosted on cloud engines is "serverless" but unlike traditional serverless software, directly it directly incorporates data through "orthogonal persistence." Another key purpose is simplify backend software logic and fuel the modeling power of AI by increasing abstraction (sorry for the technical language!!!). Put simply, this enables AI to produce more sophisticated backends, faster, and at dramatically lower costs, as measured by the number AI API tokens consumed during coding. (Tip for the technical: orthogonal persistence is a new paradigm where "the program is the database," and data lives inside program variables, which is possible because it's as if hosted software runs forever in persistent memory). — An expanding database of skills at shall make it possible to develop and directly deploy apps and services to your cloud engines directly from Claude Code, Perplexity, Codex and other AI platforms. Further, your account on can be connected, so that new apps and updates created through conversation automatically appear hosted from your cloud engine. In the future, R&D is going to be very seamless. You converse with AI, and your secure and unstoppable apps or services are created or updated. Cloud engines are designed to directly support this "self-writing cloud" future where we can work hands-free. — Tech sovereignty is becoming a huge issue worldwide, with governments and corporations seeking to create sovereign tech stacks owing to geopolitical tensions. Increasingly, people are realizing that tech provided by foreign nations can come with hidden backdoors and kills switches, from the base platform, right up through hosted apps and services. ICP technology is open source, and those building on ICP using AI own their own source code. When you have the source code, you can verify that there are no backdoors, and when you own the source code thanks to AI, you can update it at will, freeing you from vendor lock-in. But cloud engines take sovereignty much further... — You create a cloud engine by selecting the nodes that will be combined. You can choose the class of nodes used, and their number, but more importantly, you can choose who operates the nodes, and where they are located. Almost any configuration is possible, because the Internet Computer scales the security privileges afforded to hosted software within the network according to configuration (software hosted on cloud engines can directly interoperate with software on other engines and traditional subnets, but base restrictions are applied according to security rules). A cloud engine can be created within a region such as Europe, to comply with regs such as GDPR, or completely within a sovereign state like Switzerland or Pakistan. But cloud engines go further still... — Sovereignty is also about freedom from vendor lock-in. Cloud engines are essentially ICP (Internet Computer Protocol) network configurations, and this means the underlying compute nodes they combine can be swapped out without interrupting their hosted apps and services. This is a big deal. In addition, cloud engines now support nodes that are instances running on Big Tech's clouds, in addition to nodes that are dedicated specialized hardware, as per the Gen I and Gen II nodes that dominate the Internet Computer today. For example, it is possible to have an engine running across different AWS data centers, say, and then reconfigure the engine to run across a mixture of AWS, Google, Azure and Hetzner for even more resilience, without the users of hosted apps and services noticing a thing. That's true freedom. — Sovereign AI is becoming increasingly important too, and cloud engines allow special "AI nodes" to be added to them, so that hosted software can perform inference on hardware provisioned by the owner from a location the owner has selected. Even though the AI nodes are only accessible within the cloud engine, they can still benefit from the forthcoming Internet Intelligence Gateway (IG), which will make it possible to validate inference performed on key frontier open weights LLMs, even when the inference is performed on completely independent AI clouds. When the results of inference are received, this technology can verify that neither the prompt+context (input) nor the inference result (output) have been modified, and that the results were produced by the precise LLM expected. This ensures that AI clouds don't cheat by running inference on cheaper models than are being paid for, and bad actors aren't modifying the inputs or outputs to surreptitiously insert advertising into results, say, or change facts, or insert malware when code is being generated. What's super cool about this technology is the cost of the verification is scalable. A very valuable additional security can be achieved with only 1-2% of extra cost. — Scaling apps and services when they hit capacity limits is another thorny problem that cloud engines help the world address. Engines make scaling possible without rewriting or reconfiguring software. The query workload capacity of hosted software can be horizontally scaled simply by adding new nodes to an engine, and nodes can also be added in geographical proximity to demand. Meanwhile, update workload capacity can first be scaled-up by swapping an engine's nodes out for the next class up, and then when no larger class of node is available, horizontally scaled-out by "splitting" the engine into two, which doubles available capacity. (Technical tip: horizontally scaling update capacity by splitting engines requires multi-canister architectures). — For those who have been following how Caffeine builds apps that can efficiently store large numbers of files, I should mention that apps built on cloud engines will also support the new ICP Blob Storage cloud network (since cloud engines currently have up to about 3 TB of memory, which apps storing large amounts of files can easily exceed). We are also working on allowing blob storage nodes to be added to cloud engines, to enable sovereign mass blob storage within an engine, similarly to how AI nodes can be added currently. — Lastly, but certainly not least, I should mention that cloud engines are multi-blockchain capable, and ready for digital assets, thanks to the clever math at their core. For example, an e-commerce service built on a cloud engine can securely accept and custody stablecoin payments, or a multi-chain DEX could be hosted. Further, engines can support software autonomy (software orchestrated and controlled by other autonomous software, in a decentralized way) and can themselves be orchestrated by SNS technology, and thus run autonomously too. Today, though, the focus is on *mainstream* cloud. This year, the cloud industry will generate approximately one trillion dollars in revenue. That number is already huge, but is expected to grow to two trillion dollars by 2030. After years of continuous development, which have seen more than $500m spent on R&D, the Internet Computer network is now tacking directly toward this mainstream cloud market with cloud engine technology. In their first version, cloud engines are not meant to be a cloud panacea. For example, currently they are not ideal for working with big data. You should use something like DataBricks for that. Cloud engines are carefully targeted at enabling AI to produce traditional online applications and services, including SaaS, in a safer and more productive way, which represents a new market segment with tremendous potential. Of course, DFINITY will continue to work relentlessly to push forward ICP's capabilities, so expect further developments. It's worth mentioning that this cloud segment isn't just about creating new apps and services using AI, it's also about replacing legacy systems and apps built on super expensive SaaS services. Caffeine Labs is working to produce technology (Caffeine Snorkel) that can study an enterprise's legacy systems and app built on SaaS, create replacement systems and apps, and migrate the data, while supporting key stakeholders through the process over email and chat, with full automation. Thus the legacy systems and SaaS markets shall also be addressed by cloud engines. Zooming out, and reasoning in a more metaphysical way, we believe, as we always have, that there is room for a new kind of cloud created by mathematical networks, that provides seminal advances in the fields of security and resilience, as well as true sovereignty and freedom from lock-in. That this same technology, with the help of additional technologies like orthogonal persistence and Motoko, enables AI to build for us without the need for so much oversight, and to create more backend sophistication while consuming fewer AI API tokens, enables ICP to bring game-changing advances to the world. Cloud engines will work synergistically with the Intelligence Gateway, which will enable apps and services running on engines to seamlessly leverage AI, wherever that AI is running, while providing verifiability at extremely low cost for open weights frontier models. We believe that cloud engines represent an inflection point in the storied history of the Internet Computer project, and I'm very proud to be sharing the details with you on the network's fifth birthday 💪 I'll be back with more news soon!!

【Too Hot to Resist】Episode 1: Three Couples Spark Flying 💥 (25:30mins) After a long time apart, we finally reunited with J&B again! Since our Phuket couples trip, it’s been ages since we last saw them. This time, we arranged for J&B to join us together with David & Elaine — bringing new lovers and old flames together under one roof. It felt both exciting and nostalgic. J&B were once intimately close with us, almost like real lovers. Everyone truly cared for each other. Later, they stepped away from the scene due to busy work schedules. Meanwhile, we’ve grown much closer and more in sync with David & Elaine recently. We were all thrilled to finally gather all six of us together and curious about what kind of sparks would fly 💥 We booked a beautiful two-story house for the night. Everyone chilled, drank, and chatted. Elaine sat on the far left, followed by Sam, B, David, me, and then J. The conversation flowed freely and got increasingly flirty, but the real fun began with deeper connections… This game wasn’t just about warming up — it was about discovering who desired who the most. When three couples start swapping, that special, electric tension appears. The women tended to be more selective and passive at first, subtly showing their level of interest and affection toward each person before choosing who they wanted to connect with first. Who will develop strong feelings for whom tonight? And who will be the first to lose control and give in to their desires? —————————————— 【热情难挡】第一集 三对情侣夫妻换出火花💥（25:30分钟） 暌违已久，终于再次见到 J&B 这对情侣！ 自从Phuket那次情侣之旅后，我们已经很久没见了。这次特别安排了 J&B 与 David、Elaine 一起聚会，新欢与旧爱同聚一堂，感觉既刺激又充满期待。 J&B 曾经和我们亲密如恋人，大家都深爱着彼此。后来因为工作太忙，他们暂时离开了这个圈子。而最近我们和 David & Elaine 越来越合拍，关系也日渐亲密。这次能四人再加上 J&B 六人齐聚，真的非常开心，也十分期待会碰撞出什么样的火花💥 我们包下了一间两层楼的房子，晚上大家一起喝酒聊天。Elaine 坐在最左边，接着是 Sam、B、David、我，然后是 J，氛围轻松又暧昧。我们聊了很多，但最精彩的部分，当然还是之后更深层次的连接…… 这次的游戏不只是热身，更重要的是让大家感受「谁更喜欢自己」。当三对同时交换时，那种奇妙又紧张的感觉特别强烈。女生们相对被动，会先选择自己最想连接的对象，在过程中也自然流露出对对方的喜爱程度，慢慢找到今晚心动的性爱对象。 究竟谁会对谁产生强烈的爱意？ 谁又会最先忍不住呢？

seedance prompt: Realistic Video Narration (15-Second Full Version - Pure First-Person POV): Presented in the style of unprocessed, handheld, unstable iPhone video footage. All camera settings are automatic, with no post-processing color grading or special effects. The footage captures the realistic breathing of the operator and slight, irregular hand shake. Autofocus frequently exhibits intense searching, brief out-of-focus periods, and delayed recovery. Auto white balance naturally shifts between warm and cool tones as it blends with the library lights and natural light from distant windows. The overall image is flat and slightly washed out, retaining realistic lens flare, edge purple-green iridescence, and slight overexposure or underexposure. Faint fingerprint artifacts occasionally appear at the bottom of the frame. Only natural ambient sound effects are used (the sound of turning pages, very light footsteps in the distance, the low hum of an air conditioner, suppressed breathing, and the subtle rustling of stockings against a cheongsam). All sounds are extremely suppressed, with slight microphone distortion at louder frequencies. The entire video employs a pure first-person POV perspective (student's subjective viewpoint), with camera movements completely following natural head rotations and gaze movements. The composition is occasionally imperfect, showing realistic breathing tremors and slight shaking during moments of tension. From 0-4 seconds, the camera, in a first-person perspective, rests on a desk in a secluded corner of the library, with noticeable breathing tremors. You can clearly see your legs in black trousers. A female teacher approaches from behind and sits directly opposite you, wearing a white, glossy cheongsam-style dress (high slit design, keyhole cutout at the chest, pink floral lace shoulder embellishments), paired with white suspender stockings and white garter belts. She suddenly leans forward, one hand reaching out to cover your mouth, the other pressing on the inside of your black trousers, whispering, "Don't make a sound... be good, sit still." Her voice is extremely low, yet carries a powerful seduction. The autofocus searches for the high slit of the white cheongsam and the white suspender stockings. Between 4 and 9 seconds, the teacher leans forward more proactively, the high slit of her glossy white cheongsam sliding upwards, revealing a large expanse of her fair thigh and white stockings. She whispers in your ear, "Watch closely... this is what you want to see." The camera instinctively lowers its focus, locking onto a close-up of your black trousers and the teacher's white stockings—the glossy cheongsam fabric taut, the stockings subtly reflective. Your breathing noticeably becomes heavier. Between 9 and 15 seconds, footsteps approach in the distance, and the teacher presses you down more aggressively, whispering a warning, "Someone's coming... but you can't move or make a sound." The high slit of the white cheongsam and the stockings are pressed tightly together, the image shakes violently, the tension reaching its peak. The footsteps grow closer, and the image freezes in an extremely oppressive atmosphere. The footage presents a realistic, unprocessed handheld video quality, a natural, imperfect feel reminiscent of a documentary, without any post-production color grading or special effects. All camera actions are consistent with the physical characteristics of iPhone automatic shooting.
