China's Kimi-3 is free. That still won’t dent Western AI dominance. When Moonshot AI released Kimi-3 as a free open-weight model , the ...

This is true, during my Image Analytics experiments I tried the Chinese Qwen model, it gave very good results but it was too GPU heavy that it was too expensive, that's why you see no Chinese companies have commercialized their models or given it open source because they know it cant be sold to match those from other AI firms.

wear gloves! if you don't lean AI, you don't have a job. If you do AI, AI will slowly steal your job , now it even steals your PII data 😵

Silk Stronger Than Kevlar? New Breakthrough!

Scientists have created a *fused silk material* that’s **stronger than Kevlar** and still as flexible as natural silk.
This new bio‑engineered fiber could change everything — from **bulletproof armor** to **medical implants**, **tendons**, and even **wearable tech**.

The secret?
The material starts with commercially available silk moth cocoon fibers used in textile manufacturing. Researchers first removed sericin, the sticky coating around the fibers, using a mild sodium carbonate solution. The fibers were then aligned and hot-pressed under carefully controlled temperatures and pressures.

During heating, the more mobile parts of the silk protein structure softened enough to bond neighboring fibers together while preserving the crystalline regions responsible for strength and flexibility.

This could lead to:
• Safer, lighter body armor
• Stronger surgical sutures
• Next‑gen artificial ligaments
• Ultra‑durable fabrics

TVS is creating history in the Indian Automobile sector!

While Indian motorcycles have always had good presence in the lower end and mid capacity segment, we never had any performance high capacity options.

Royal Enfield has been minting money with its mid capacity segment and has successfully created a global market and established itself, but they never ventured into the performance segment.

Hero and Bajaj didn't even try, though they are worlds biggest manufactures.

TVS has tried to jump ahead, but this is a difficult market to crack, Norton has a strong legacy brand image but the new designs are a total pivot from its iconic models, will TVS be able to crack this market, only time will tell, but I am amazed that they even got this far, and I wish them success!

Antibacterial soaps disrupt the beneficial microbes that protect your skin. Mild soap cleans effectively while preserving most of your natural microbial barrier.
Stop sterilizing your defenses.

Try the latest AI model, Clause Opus and your credit card will drain faster than you blink. Personally experienced 😅🤣

Cost of using AI in work will now cost more than an employee salary, so choose your models wisely. I use the cheapest model like GPT nano for 99.9% of my work. Switch to expensive models like Opus only when the cheapest ones don't work as you expect.
