STARLINK QUIETLY BUILDS THE BIGGEST NETWORK EARTH HAS EVER SEEN Starlink has now placed roughly 9,400 satellites into orbit, making it the largest satellite constellation ever assembled. Nothing else comes close. At any moment, thousands of active satellites are circling the planet, delivering broadband to places that traditional infrastructure never reached. That includes rural towns, offshore vessels, aircraft, disaster zones, and research stations where fiber is impossible and cell towers do not exist. For many users, Starlink is not a backup connection. It is the first reliable one they have ever had. The system has already proven its value during natural disasters, wars, and power outages, where ground networks fail first. Schools, hospitals, emergency crews, and small businesses now rely on a signal coming straight from orbit. SpaceX continues launching new satellites every week, steadily upgrading capacity and performance while expanding coverage. More launches are planned, but the system is already operating at a scale that would have sounded unrealistic a decade ago. Either way, not a future concept. The network is live, global, and growing, and it is already changing how the world stays connected. Source: @XFreeze,Celestrak

Elon e-mail from 2013 on why SpaceX should stay private until itโs reached certain technological milestones: โซ๏ธ โPublic company stocks, particularly if big step changes in technology are involved, go through extreme volatility, both for reasons of internal execution and for reasons that have nothing to do with anything except the economy. This causes people to be distracted by the manic-depressive nature of the stock instead of creating great products.โ โซ๏ธ SpaceX was valued at $5B in 2013 and he thought if Dragon and Falcon 9 were well executed the business could be worth $15B. Meanwhile, the company would keep offering secondary sales for employee liquidity and this was his recommendation on whether or not to sell: โซ๏ธ โBelow is my advice about selling SpaceX stock or options. No complicated analysis is required, as the rules of thumb are pretty simple. If you believe that SpaceX will execute better than the average public company, then our stock price will continue to appreciate at a rate greater than that of the stock market, which would be the next highest return place to invest money over the long term. Therefore, you should sell only the amount that you need to improve your standard of living in the short to medium term. I do actually recommend selling some amount of stock, even if you are certain it will appreciate, as life is short and a bit more cash can increase fun and reduce stress at home (so long as you don't ratchet up your ongoing personal expenditures proportionately).โ โซ๏ธ The concept of Starlink was unveiled in 2015. The first constellation was launched in 2019. Starlink is projected to do $20B+ sales next year, steady revenue (on top of world-beating launch business) for a potential IPO to raise $30B at a $1.5T valuation in 2026. That will *definitely* limit volatility as a public co to pursue next big tech changes (eg. AI data centre opportunity).

Excited to welcome @Apple to @huggingface Enterprise! ๐ Just yesterday Apple released Sharp - an amazing new model to turn images into 3D splats. Wonder how your iPhone magically turns your picture into moving images when you tilt it? With Sharp you can create this type of effect and more. With HF Enterprise, Apple will be able to publish technical articles on the HF blog - I for one would love to learn more about Sharp and the 150+ models, datasets and applications shared on HF!

๐๐๐Introducing HY World 1.5 (WorldPlay)! We have now open-sourced the most systemized, comprehensive real-time world model framework in the industry. In HY World 1.5, we develop WorldPlay, a streaming video diffusion model that enables real-time, interactive world modeling with long-term geometric consistency, resolving the trade-off between speed and memory that limits current methods. You can generate and explore 3D worlds simply by inputting text or images. Walk, look around, and interact like you're playing a game. Highlights: ๐นReal-Time: Generates long-horizon streaming video at 24 FPS with superior consistency. ๐นGeometric Consistency: Achieved using a Reconstituted Context Memory mechanism to dynamically rebuild context from past frames to alleviate memory attenuation ๐นRobust Control: Uses a Dual Action Representation for robust response to user keyboard and mouse inputs. ๐นVersatile Applications: Supports both first-person and third-person perspectives, enabling applications like promptable events and infinite world extension. ๐๐ปTry it now: https://t.co/0awf2D5LaT ๐Project Page: https://t.co/bbFzdTXUdU ๐Github: https://t.co/lSsVLXxoAd ๐คHugging Face: https://t.co/qbCBzvfNRT ๐Technical Report: https://t.co/diLCcxWwQw

First Look: The Beast's Spatial Anchor, Smooth Follow, Ultra-wide, & Multi-Window on iPhone (No Adapter Required) The first batch of The Beast is on track to ship by the end of this month! Weโre excited to share a first-look video for an early glimpse of whatโs coming. ๐ Please note that the in-glasses visuals may appear softer in the footage due to camera capture โ in use, the experience has already become a true mobile powerhouse for our team.
Today Iโm sharing Tiny๐ฅTorchโan educational framework for ML systems, built from scratch. You donโt just train models, you build tensors, autograd, optimizers, and data loaders, and see how design choices affect memory, performance, and efficiency. If you use @PyTorch or @TensorFlow, this helps learners see whatโs really happening under the hood. Too many students learn how to use ML frameworks, but never how to build one. Tiny๐ฅTorch is about closing that gap. Early, open, and still evolving, looking for fellow educators and learners. Ideas and help welcome ๐ https://t.co/rEO37tbmHO

๐ Yann LeCun says language models do extract meaning, but only at a superficial level. Unlike humans, their intelligence is not grounded in physical reality or common sense. They answer many questions well, but break down when faced with new situations because they do not truly understand the world they describe.
Some more thoughts about Yann interview: Even if LLMs work great, that's missing the point. Everyone's doing the same thing now. More scale, more data, longer CoT, tweak RL. But the path to get there was completely stochastic. Attention, transformers, scaling laws, RLHF, none of it was obvious, it came from people trying very different things. We wouldn't be here if everyone had agreed early on which direction to go. Assuming the next leap comes from all of us optimizing the same recipe is dangerous. I agree that the situation today is indeed way more complicated. Back then you could test a wild idea on a few GPUs. Now every serious bet costs millions in compute. That makes it harder to explore, which makes the convergence problem even worse. But that's exactly why we need to be more intentional about funding diverse approaches, not less.
Yann LeCun says there is no such thing as general intelligence Human intelligence is super-specialized for the physical world, and our feeling of generality is an illusion We only seem general because we can't imagine the problems we're blind to "the concept is complete BS"
Here's a simple rule I use: When someone tells you AGI is coming, ask yourself what they're selling. VCs need the hype for valuations. Researchers need it for funding. Doomers sell fear. Skeptics sell their brand. Even I'm selling you my podcast ๐ There's no single moment where we'll suddenly have it. We'll reach superhuman level on some tasks, human level on others, and stay behind on many. Some tasks have already happened, while others will take forever. The thing is that for 99% of problems, I don't care about "general intelligence." I just want something that solves my problem. Sometimes it's way better than humans. Sometimes about the same. Sometimes worse but still useful. None of this is "AGI." "AGI" is not a scientific concept. It's a story. And usually someone is selling it to you.
๐ Yann LeCun, Chief AI Scientist at Meta, says many people misunderstand what a world model really is. He explains that it is not about reproducing the world in full detail like a visual simulator. He warns that generating video may look impressive, but it does not guarantee the system has learned the underlying dynamics of reality.
Yann LeCun argues there is no such thing as โgeneral intelligenceโ human or artificial. What we call general intelligence is just our ability to solve problems weโre wired for or can imagine. Humans are great at navigating social life and the real world but terrible at tasks like chess without training. Many animals outperform us in domains weโre blind to. So instead of aiming for "general AI," we should focus on machines mastering human-relevant domains.
๐ Yann LeCun says that AGI does not exist and is a poorly defined concept built around an idealized view of human intelligence. He argues that humans are highly specialized, good at navigating the physical and social world, but weak at many other tasks. We seem general only because we can imagine the problems we are good at. For LeCun, AGI mistakes human limits for universal laws of intelligence.
