Every GoPro you own already knows how to fix your shaky footage. GoPro charges $99.99 a year to unlock it. Inside every GoPro, Sony, DJI, and Insta360 is a gyroscope. It records the exact angle and rotation of every shake, 400 times per second. That data gets embedded inside your video file automatically. It has been there every time you filmed. GoPro reads that data through a tool called ReelSteady. They bought the company in 2020, sold it as a $99.99 one-time purchase inside GoPro Player, then in 2024 renamed it HyperSmooth Pro and folded it into their $99.99 a year Premium+ subscription. GoPro cameras only. Cancel your subscription and it stops working. There is a free tool that reads the same gyroscope data. It works on every camera. It is called Gyroflow. It started in 2020 as a Python project by an engineering student named Elvin Chen. Then a developer named Adrian Eddy rewrote the whole thing in Rust, built the UI, the GPU pipeline, the rolling shutter correction, and the plugins for Premiere, After Effects, Resolve, and Final Cut Pro. GPL-3.0 licensed. Here is what happens when you open Gyroflow. You load your shaky video. Gyroflow reads the gyroscope data embedded inside the file. It knows the exact motion of every shake, not a guess from pixels, the actual recorded movement from the sensor. Then it reverses each shake, frame by frame. Every other stabilizer on Earth guesses. Premiere Warp Stabilizer looks at the pixels and tries to reverse-engineer the motion. iMovie does the same. YouTube stabilization does the same. They all crop your frame to hide the shake they cannot fully remove. Gyroflow does not guess. It reads the truth. An FPV pilot ran a head-to-head test on the same 4 minute 41 second clip. Gyroflow finished in 3 minutes. GoPro's paid tool took 15. Same footage. Same stability. Five times faster. Zero dollars. It works with every prosumer camera on the market. GoPro Hero 5 through 13. Every Sony mirrorless from the a7 IV to the FX9. DJI Avata, Action, Neo, and every O3 and O4 Air Unit. Every Insta360 from the OneR to the Ace Pro. Blackmagic RAW. RED V-Raptor and Komodo. Canon C50, C80, C400, R6 Mark III, R5 Mark II. Runcam and Hawkeye FPV cams. Betaflight blackbox. ArduPilot logs. On Sony bodies you can stack Gyroflow on top of the in-camera IBIS and EIS. Nothing else can do that. Rolling shutter correction. Horizon leveling. Lens distortion fixes. GPU accelerated rendering on DirectX, Metal, Vulkan, and OpenGL. Output to x264, x265, ProRes, DNxHD, and 32-bit float OpenEXR. Real-time preview with sub-pixel precision. Windows, Mac, Linux, Android, iOS. On the Microsoft Store, Mac App Store, and Google Play. 9,373 stars on GitHub. 1.23 million downloads. Last update pushed yesterday. Every action camera you own already knows how to fix itself. Gyroflow simply asks it. (Link in the comments)

most AI research agents keep the best result and throw away the rest. PRAXIST does the opposite. every useful finding shapes what happens next. competing approaches run in parallel. shared memory connects the evidence. the benchmark results are hard to argue with: → 44% more gold medals than Claude Code + Opus 4.8 → 92% lower token cost → $3,054 vs $38,370 for the same 75-task suite an open-source model outperforming the most expensive setup on earth. at one-twelfth the cost. 100% safe-landing rate in a rocket simulation. industrial SLAM error cut nearly in half. open source starting today. this is how research should work.

9. Lex asked if AI will replace programmers. Peter didn't dodge. "AI does replace programmers eventually. The actual art of programming will stay there. But it's gonna be like knitting. People do it because they like it, not because it makes any sense."

6. Mark Zuckerberg messaged him about acquiring the project. Peter said: "I don't like calendar entries. Let's just call now." Zuck replied: "Give me 10 minutes, I need to finish coding." The CEO of Meta was writing code at 11 PM.

5. He had to rename the repo for legal reasons. He clicked rename on the wrong GitHub account. 30 seconds later, someone sniped his old account and pushed malware. Then they sniped his NPM package. Then his domain. His words: "I was close to crying."

4. Lex asked him about January. 6,600 commits. He runs between 4 and 10 agents in parallel at any moment. He sleeps only when the agents are stuck. This is what shipping at AI speed actually looks like.

A US senator walked up to an airport checkpoint and refused to have his face scanned. His name is Jeff Merkley. He is the senator from Oregon. He has spent three years trying to get the TSA to tell travelers something the TSA already admits on its own website. The face scan at the checkpoint is optional. Almost nobody is told. There is one sentence that stops it. Here is the sentence, and everything the TSA does not want you to know about saying it. First, the TSA's own words. From the TSA website: "Travelers who do not wish to participate in the facial recognition technology process may decline the optional photo, without recourse, in favor of an alternative identity verification process, which does not use facial recognition technology to verify their identity." Optional photo. Without recourse. Those are their words, not mine. The TSA also says this on the same page: "Travelers will not lose their place in line for security screening." And using the alternative method "does not take longer." So the two things a TSA agent might tell you at the checkpoint, that you will hold up the line or take longer, are ruled out by the TSA's own website. Now the sentence. When you get to the checkpoint, before the scan, say this: "I do not consent to the scan and would like to have my ID manually verified." That is it. The officer will take your physical ID, either a driver's license or a passport, and check the photo against your face the way they did for the last twenty years. Merkley has documented himself doing this on flights between DC and Portland. Here is why almost no one knows. Senator Merkley has been pushing this since July 2023. He went to Reagan Washington National Airport that summer to publicly demonstrate the opt-out and to challenge the TSA on how the program is being run. The Washington Post covered it. In May 2025, Merkley introduced the Traveler Privacy Protection Act with Senators John Kennedy of Louisiana, Ed Markey of Massachusetts, and Roger Marshall of Kansas. Two Republicans, two Democrats. The bill is endorsed by the American Civil Liberties Union, the Electronic Privacy Information Center, Public Citizen, and three other watchdog groups. Merkley's own words from that press release: "Folks don't want a national surveillance state, but that's exactly what the TSA's unchecked expansion of facial recognition technology is leading us to." And: "Americans have the right to opt out of using TSA's facial recognition at the airport, and we need to protect that right. Our Traveler Privacy Protection Act safeguards the freedoms and privacy of all Americans by making sure no one is required to have their face scanned to travel." Here is what the TSA is planning. Facial recognition is currently at more than 84 US airports. The TSA plans to expand it to more than 430. That is nearly every commercial airport in the country. And per the bill's findings, the TSA is "eventually planning to make this technology mandatory for all travelers." Right now it is optional. That window is closing. The TSA says the technology is not being abused. Their exact wording: "Biometrics are not used for surveillance. Facial recognition technology is solely used to automate the current manual ID credential checking process and will not be used for surveillance or any law enforcement purpose." Take them at their word. The point is not that the TSA is doing something illegal. The point is you get to choose. Here is the 5-minute action you can take tonight, before your next flight. - Memorize the sentence: "I do not consent to the scan and would like to have my ID manually verified." - Have your physical ID out and ready. Driver's license or passport. Not a screenshot on your phone. - When you get to the podium, hand the agent your ID and say the sentence in a normal tone. Do not apologize. - If the agent pushes back or tells you it will take longer, calmly repeat the sentence. If they still refuse, ask for a supervisor. - This applies to TSA checkpoints only. International arrivals into the US go through Customs and Border Protection, which is a different agency with different rules. For most US domestic flights, the sentence above is what you need. Here is the last thing. The TSA already admits, on its own website, that this is optional. A sitting US senator has spent three years asking them to put that in plain sight at the checkpoint. They have not. The signs at the podium do not tell you. The agents often do not tell you. The airline app does not tell you. Congress is being lobbied by the airlines to keep it that way. Reuters reported in July 2025 that the airline industry publicly opposed Merkley's bill. Right now, before the 430 airport rollout, you still have a one-sentence way out. Say the sentence. Show your ID. Walk through.

Remember the God's Eye from Fast and Furious? The one that could track anyone, anywhere? An ex-Google Maps product manager built the closest thing to it. His name is Bilawal Sidhu. He spent six years at Google as a Senior PM on the team that made Google Maps Immersive View and ARCore Geospatial API. Now he curates technology at TED and scouts for a16z. His audience is 2.1 million people. Two days ago, on August 24, 2026, he uploaded his tool to GitHub. MIT licensed. Free. It is called God's Eye View. It is a photorealistic 3D globe in your browser. Live aircraft. Live ships. Live satellites. Earthquakes. Fires. Public traffic cameras. All the signals the world is already broadcasting, drawn on one map. Then it goes further. Click any plane and lock the camera on it. Press one key and you are riding along in cockpit view, real terrain holding under you as it flies. Cycle sensors mid-flight. CRT. Night vision. Ironbow FLIR thermal. The whole live planet re-renders through a different lens. Turn on the CCTV layer over Austin, London, or California. Public cameras get projected into the 3D city. Around 800 of them. Click a satellite. Ride the ISS around Earth with the orbit ring drawn behind it. Turn on the mic. Say things out loud. "Take me to Tokyo." "How many flights are over Texas right now?" "Which ships are headed to Oakland?" "Draw the walking route from the Capitol to Zilker Park." "Track that plane. Enter cockpit." It answers. It draws on the map. It flies the camera. Thirteen live data layers. Ten of them need zero API keys, zero signup, zero account. Flights, satellites, quakes, cameras, radio, bikeshare, launches, mapped installations. All free. The photorealistic 3D planet uses Google's Map Tiles API. That one is metered. The rest run on free public feeds or free developer keys. This is the same guy whose God's Eye View reconstruction of the Iran strikes hit 4 million views on X earlier this year. He open sourced the tool that made it. 4,633 stars. 1,190 forks. MIT licensed. Two days after going public. Runs in your browser. On your machine. Under your control. (Link in the comments)

A man left his Ray-Ban Meta glasses recording in a bedroom. His wife walked in and undressed. A worker in Kenya watched the whole clip. That is not a hack. That is not a leaked file. That is how the product works. Here is the full story. The BBC and Swedish newspapers Svenska Dagbladet and Goteborgs-Posten investigated a Nairobi outsourcing company called Sama in early 2026. Sama is a Meta subcontractor. Meta paid Sama workers to review video and image data from Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses to train Meta AI. One worker's words to the reporters: "We see everything. From living rooms to naked bodies." Workers told the papers they saw glasses users going to the toilet. Having sex. Watching pornography. And that one bedroom clip. Meta says filtering is supposed to blur faces in images. Sources who spoke to the Swedish papers said sometimes the blurring failed and people's faces could be seen. Meta sold 7 million Ray-Ban Meta glasses in 2025. They look like normal Ray-Bans. Wayfarers. Aviators. The camera is in the right corner of the frame. Most people never see it. Here is the part most owners never read. On April 29, 2025, Meta updated its Ray-Ban Meta privacy policy for the United States. Meta's exact wording to US users, reported by The Verge: "The choice to turn off voice recordings storage is no longer an option, but you can remove recordings at any time through settings." Before that update, US owners could turn off cloud storage of their voice recordings. After that update, they cannot. When storage is on, Meta's own Voice Privacy Notice says voice transcripts and recordings are kept for up to one year to help improve Meta's products, including training Meta AI. Unintentional voice activations, the ones where the glasses thought they heard "Hey Meta" but you did not say it, get deleted after 90 days. Everything else stays for a year. There is no auto-delete for the intentional recordings. You have to open the app and delete them one at a time. And when someone says "Hey Meta, what am I looking at," the camera fires and sends the image to Meta's cloud. Some of those images get routed to human contractors like the ones in Nairobi. Meta confirmed this to the BBC. Here is what happened after the Swedish investigation. The UK Information Commissioner's Office wrote to Meta calling the claims "concerning" and asked how Meta is meeting its obligations under UK data protection law. On March 4, 2026, Clarkson Law Firm filed a class action lawsuit against Meta in federal court in San Francisco. The named plaintiffs are Gina Bartone of New Jersey and Mateo Canu of California. Consumers say they believed content recorded by the glasses remained private. Less than two months after the Swedish investigation was published, Meta canceled its contract with Sama. Sama said the cancellation would result in 1,108 Kenyan workers being made redundant. Meta said it ended the work because Sama "don't meet our standards." Sama pushed back publicly: "At no point were we notified of any failure to meet those standards, and we stand firmly behind the quality and integrity of our work." A Kenyan worker organization said the real reason was different. Naftali Wambalo of the Africa Tech Workers Movement told the BBC: "What I think are the standards they are talking about here are standards of secrecy." Now here is the 5-minute action if you own a pair. Every setting below is inside the Meta AI app on your phone. Tap the Glasses icon in the top right, then Device settings. Setting 1: Delete your voice history. Go to Glasses privacy, then Voice activity log. Tap Delete all. Everything you have ever said to your glasses after "Hey Meta" comes out of Meta's stored library the moment you delete it. There is no auto-delete. You have to do this yourself. Setting 2: Turn off Cloud media. Glasses privacy, Cloud media toggle, off. When it is on, every photo and video you capture gets uploaded to Meta's servers for 30 days. When it is off, captures stay on your phone unless you share them. Setting 3: If you are willing to give up hands-free, fully disable "Hey Meta" voice commands. That stops the camera from firing on voice queries and stops new voice data from being stored. Setting 4: Never say "Hey Meta, what am I looking at" in a private space. That specific command sends the image to Meta's cloud and puts it in the queue that human contractors can see. Here is the last thing. You are the product. Your voice is the training data. Your camera roll is the training data. Your bedroom is the training data. Meta took the voice-storage opt-out away from Americans on April 29, 2025, and did not send a push notification about it. The little white light on the front of the glasses tells you when someone else is recording you. Nothing tells you when Meta is recording you. Send this to one person who owns a pair.
