πŸ”„ Captcha wrap fools AI camera

A man in the US wrapped a 2009 Toyota Yaris in film with captcha-like chaotic shapes, then drove past an AI road camera while breaking the rules.

The system did not recognize the car.

Its AI could not identify it.

He spent a full year on the experiment.

πŸ“Š Solar storms get a tighter ETA

Using NASA PUNCH images, scientists cut the arrival error for one solar eruption to 30 minutes instead of 5 hours. The mission uses 4 microsatellites, launched in March 2025, to watch the Sun around the clock.

For the 31 May 2025 coronal mass ejection, scientists fed the images into a computer model. After the first 12 hours of observations, it said the storm would hit in 8 hours, and missed by half an hour.

Before PUNCH, instruments saw only one fifth of the path to Earth. Now the whole route is visible, with images updated every 4 minutes, which gives operators more time before radio blackouts, grid trouble, satellite issues and internet disruptions.

πŸ€‘ Most people think they understand how the world of big money and crypto works.

In reality, they consume illusions. They read analysts who have never built anything, panic during every BTC drop, and trust fake gurus. This guarantees you will always be one step behind the insiders.

To understand the market, you need to see it through the eyes of those who run it.

πŸ‘ PRIMA chip restores central vision in AMD

The PRIMA implant targets geographic atrophy, a late-stage dry form of age-related macular degeneration affecting over 5 million people worldwide. It replaces dead photoreceptors in the central retina with a 2Γ—2 mm chip containing 378 photovoltaic pixels.

The chip converts infrared light projected from special glasses into electrical impulses that stimulate surviving retinal neurons. This bypasses damaged photoreceptors and sends visual signals to the brain, preserving peripheral vision while restoring central sight.

PRIMA does not cure or regenerate cells but acts as an electronic prosthesis. It recently received CE marking, allowing Science Corp to market the system in Europe.

πŸ€– OpenAI separates teens in ChatGPT

Users aged 13-17 will get a separate version with stricter filters for harmful topics.

The bot cannot simulate emotions or provide ready-made homework answers.

Age will be estimated from more than 2,000 behavioral signals, including login time, so documents are not needed. The change follows lawsuits after children received harmful content.

πŸ€– OpenAI Cuts GPT-5.6 Agent Costs

GPT-5.6 Luna scored 84.04% on BrowseComp, nearly matching GPT-5.5 at 84.36%. Its run cost $1.33 instead of $33.27, making the gap hard to ignore.

For agent work, OpenAI recommends Luna and Terra for data extraction and document search. GPT-5.6 Sol on low reasoning also beat GPT-5.5 on high reasoning in one agent test.

The bigger gain comes from the agent setup. GPT-5.6 can preserve reasoning between steps and compact long histories. On ARC-AGI-3, that lifted Sol from 13.3% to 38.3% while using about 6 times fewer output tokens. The model itself was unchanged.

πŸ”ŽLandSpace Lands Zhuque-3 Booster

On its second flight, Zhuque-3 sent Hongqing Technology’s Honghu 03 satellite to orbit, then returned its first stage to landing legs on land. The first attempt ended in β€œanomalous combustion” near the pad.

It was China’s first recovery of an orbital rocket booster to landing legs, and the first landing by a private Chinese company. The 66-metre rocket runs on oxygen and methane, with a reusable booster and disposable upper stage.

China had recorded only 1 earlier landing, by CASC’s Long March 10B, which lowered its stage into a ship-deck net. Falcon 9 first landed in 2015.
