Anthropic just launched Claude Design — design systems, prototypes, slide decks, all from a prompt. Still in research preview with weekly token limits, but I'm keeping an eye on it. When it's widely available, I'm absolutely giving it a spin. via The New Stack
I rarely close apps on my phone. Some people swear by it, but on a newer high-end phone, it’s just not necessary — unless the app is buggy or torching your battery.
You might naturally assume that failing to close an app you’re not using will leave it “running” in the background on an iPhone. If you don’t close the app manually, it will drain your device’s battery life, right? While this is an understandable conclusion to reach, it doesn’t properly account for what force closing apps on your iPhone really does to the battery.

Robotaxis are now on the streets of Houston and Dallas, Texas. The interiors look nice and are very spacious, but, wow, it’s really happening. I love the big screen and the large glass roof on Tesla cars! I once rode in a Tesla while Ubering in DC (human driving though).
If I ever redid my tiny house, I’d steal this window layout. Different sizes, all that light flooding in — no overhead fixture competes. Shiplap on walls and ceiling? Brilliant. And navy cabinets? My favorite color.

“A.I. should never provide the final answer. Kids can use it to brainstorm or explore, but they must produce their own first draft or solution.” —Vivienne Ming, a neuroscientist and A.I. researcher
While Ming views AI as a tool for cognitive scaffolding, the sheer speed of its integration into our schools feels less like a choice and more like an inevitability.
“The robots are here. Our future is no longer science fiction.” — Melania Trump, First Lady
The global humanoid race is heating up as Europe enters the ring! 🇪🇺 🤖
BMW is now testing Hexagon AB’s AEON robot at its Leipzig plant, marking its first humanoid pilot in Europe. From battery assembly to precision scanning, the AI revolution is going physical.
The era of “someday” is over. With Agibot racing to match Tesla’s Optimus output, humanoid robots are moving from labs to our streets. Seeing this mass production scale up so fast is a wild reality check. Science fiction is officially becoming our daily commute. They’re here among us. 🤖🦾
No Robots! My home is a bot-free zone. Watch this—impressive, but is it for me? I’ll stick to doing it myself! I value the effort and the satisfaction of a job well done. Team Human all the way!
MIT says AI isn’t a job apocalypse — it’s a slow tide. Work changes broadly and gradually, not through sudden sector wipeouts.
AI has a 53% success rate for managerial tasks like planning, writing and analysis, but is weak when it comes to coordination, judgment, and decision-making. (Axios)
More of a slow creep than a cliff. That’s… not exactly comforting, but okay.
