The weather is fine at Denver. Martin Marietta's Denver plant built the Viking landers that set down on Mars in 1976 — the first spacecraft to work there for months instead of moments. Live breaks rotate through and on

I published the full write-up: how I cut Grok Bot costs by moving simple decisions to Laya. The picture that unlocked it for my clients: you walk into a busy office and hand a short note to two people. The careful writer hands back a paragraph. The clerk marks boxes on a form. For years we handed every ticket to the writer. Laya is the clerk. 421 million parameters. Apache-2.0. It runs on the same computer Grok Bot already owns. On November 1, Elon said the cost of serving Grok Bot was unsustainably high relative to revenue. This is one way the token volume that reaches the generative model actually falls. Read the Article:

Running Grok Bot is living in the future. The future today still costs tokens, and the tokens run out. SpaceXAI carries energy, RAM, storage, GPU and other costs to keep Grok Bot running. Most of the tokens spent on most projects are wasteful. The same results could have been reached without calling a generative model at all. I am the test case for solving this because clients hire me to do many things, and one of those things is to save them money. Some pay me based on how much I save versus how much more productive they become. I had to find a way. I did. The savings were large enough that the same method can lower the cost for SpaceXAI as well. Read more below:

Our Name is borrowed, Our beliefs are borrowed. All of our ideas, concepts and beliefs are shared from a long list of people in our lives directly and what we hear or saw indirectly. And those people got it the same way. It is a duffle bag of mix and match collections that we believe makes us who we are. It is vital to open that duffle bag and do an inventory regularly and find the things that your grasp that are no longer true, valid or serve you. When you fill your duffle bag with the shared tapestry that you CHOOSE to keep, you are stronger, happier, have higher moral and ethical codes and able to be ready for the raid changes that are upon us. Remember all the things we borrowed down to our very names are not just old things, they are your foundation. And knowing your foundation it the clear light of day, is the most urgent goal.

Throughout San Francisco There Are Brick Circles In The Streets. What Are They? San Francisco set brick circles into more than a hundred of its intersections. Cars roll over them every day. Each circle marks the top of a cistern that holds roughly 75,000 gallons and has no connection to the city’s regular water mains. On the morning of 18 April 1906 the earthquake broke the pipes that ran through soft filled ground. Firefighters opened hydrants and got almost nothing. The fires that followed burned for three days and destroyed about 28,000 buildings. The city already owned a handful of older tanks, but they had been left to decay. In 1908 it spent five million dollars on a separate system that included its own reservoir on Twin Peaks, pumps that could pull salt water from the bay, and these independent cisterns buried under the streets so that a broken pipe would not leave the fire department dry again. The brick ring is the only marker. When the hydrants fail, a crew lifts the manhole and drops a hose straight into the tank. The cisterns are still kept full. The circles are the visible edge of the decision the city made after it watched the water stop…

BOOM! members are helping folks that want assistance in a custom bespoke Grok Bot! They have served so many already! How it works for the requester… NEED A GROK BOT FOR YOUR BUSINESS? Your business doesn't need another app. It needs a bot that does real work. Answering the same customer questions at 11 PM. Turning a pile of emails into a clean daily report. Booking appointments. Chasing unpaid invoices. Watching inventory. Drafting the follow-up you keep forgetting to send. A Grok Bot can do all of that. The catch is that a bot that touches your customers, your inbox, and your money has to be built right. That is why I built Need a Bot on Here is how it works. You describe the job you want done, in plain words. No tech talk needed. Experienced builders who already make working Grok Bots see your request and can offer to build it. You talk with them, pick the one you trust, and agree on the work. Posting a request is FREE. You pay nothing upfront. You only pay a builder if you decide you want them to build it, and you pay them directly. I take no cut. Why use a professional builder instead of winging it yourself or hiring the cheapest stranger online? 1. Experience. These are people who have already shipped bots that run every day. They know where bots break, how to test them, and how to keep them from doing something embarrassing in front of your customers. 2. Standards of practice. Builders in the program follow a written manual. That covers how they price, how they handle your data, and how they treat you. A builder who earns complaints can be removed from the program. 3. Your privacy comes first. When you post, you choose whether your finished bot can ever be shown or advertised. The default is No. Private builds stay private and are never listed. Your process, your customers, and your edge stay yours. 4. Honest pricing. Good builders charge for their time plus a sensible buffer, and they tell you up front that usage limits on your own plan can change. No fantasy promises. 5. Safety by design. A professional bot asks before it sends, spends, or deletes anything. That is the difference between a tool you trust and one you babysit. 6. You stay in control. You own the bot. You can change it, pause it, or retire it. Think about what one good hire costs you. Then think about a bot that works every hour of every day on the tasks nobody wants, for a one-time build. The businesses that figure this out first will have an unfair advantage. The rest will be wondering how their competitor answers every lead in 30 seconds. Post your request. It costs nothing to ask at And the members of YOU can help build Grok Bots if you have experience. This is a massive potential for you. Join us and become a member.

1 Petabyte Storage On The Way! Samsung is developing nearline solid-state drives that scale from 250 terabytes to 1 petabyte. One petabyte is 1,024 terabytes. The form factors under discussion are EDSFF E3.L or E2. At the upper end, nearly fifty of the largest drives could occupy a 4U shelf and approach 50 petabytes; a full rack would approach half an exabyte. The information comes from a May 2026 briefing between storage software maker Scality and Blocks & Files. Scality chief product officer Erwan Girard stated that Samsung is building these ultra-density units with the explicit goal of replacing hard drives. He described a new type of flash with endurance of roughly 0.1 drive writes per day, about one-fifth the rate of contemporary QLC. Scality has early samples in its lab. Initial manufacturer numbers suggested slower performance, but lab tests showed no visible difference from QLC. Scality CEO Jérôme Lecat said the company has a co-development agreement with the Samsung Memory Research Center and that a 2026 release is unlikely. Samsung has shown high-capacity enterprise SSDs before. In 2022 it displayed a 128 TB QLC prototype. In 2023 it announced a 256 TB QLC drive aimed at data centers and outlined a petabyte-scale PBSSD architecture built from multiple drives. The current nearline work uses a different flash type, optimized for density and low write traffic rather than general-purpose endurance. For data-center operators the density reduces the number of racks needed for archives, model weights, or infrequently rewritten datasets. The endurance limit sets the boundary: the drive is not built for daily rewrites. Scality positions the devices in a warm tier alongside nearline hard drives, where the workload is read-heavy. Samsung’s semiconductor division continues to publish roadmaps that list higher layer counts and packaging advances as the route to larger single-drive capacities. The nearline samples under test represent one step along that path. No public product name or firm ship date has been announced. Samsung Semiconductor:
