China has launched the world's most extreme bungee jump! From the Huajiang Canyon Bridge at a height of 625 meters — that's almost two Eiffel Towers! — you can now take a breathtaking leap into the canyon abyss above the Beipan River.

A jump from such height lasts several minutes of free fall, and so far this is an absolute world record.

Noland Arbaugh, one of the first volunteers with the neurodegenerative disease ALS, tested Neuralink's N1 Telepathy implant on himself.

Thanks to the chip, he was able to control a robotic arm with the power of thought, performing hand movements without physical contact. Just three days after implantation, Noland felt "digital freedom," something he hadn't experienced for years due to his illness.

China gave The New York Times journalists a tour of the world's largest solar power plant park on the Tibetan Plateau! ☀️⛰️

The complex covers an area of 420 square kilometers, with a capacity of nearly 17 GW, which is enough to power an entire Chicago. The panels are installed at an altitude of about 3,000 meters, where bright sunlight and cold air make them super-efficient.

Starship exploded after perfect ocean landing

SpaceX conducted the eleventh test flight of its super heavy Starship vehicle. The rocket successfully deployed Starlink satellite mockups into orbit, returned through the atmosphere, and even managed to land in the ocean as planned.

But after landing, the ship still exploded right in the water.

🤖 Ghost cities became testing grounds for autonomous vehicles

In China's Ordos, which turned into a ghost town after the coal market collapse, they're now testing autonomous trucks. Ten trucks drive in convoy behind a single driver - like in a video game, except with real tons of cargo.

While Tesla and Waymo are building artificial testing facilities in the desert, the Chinese found a ready-made dead city with existing infrastructure.

The irony of fate: cities that technology killed are now helping create new technology 📱

🔍 Scientists from the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology have claimed that an ordinary Wi-Fi router can "see" people — like Batman's sonar in "The Dark Knight." 🦇📡

The study showed that reflected radio waves can be used to recognize a person, even if they don't have a phone or any other devices.

AI analyzes how Wi-Fi signals bounce off walls and bodies, creating a "radio image" of posture, movement, and identity with nearly 100% accuracy. All of this works with a standard home router without any additional equipment. 🤯

The most alarming part — the signals on which the technology is based are not encrypted, meaning any "smart" router could theoretically become a hidden camera.

Anduril has introduced the EagleEye helmet — a true breakthrough in military technology with the ability to "see through walls." 🎯

This high-tech combat helmet with integrated artificial intelligence and augmented reality completely replaces the traditional helmet, providing soldiers with a panoramic 360-degree field of view and the ability to see objects, allied and enemy positions even behind obstacles.

In San Francisco, they orchestrated digital chaos involving 50 driverless Waymo taxis 🚖🤖.

On one dead-end street, dozens of self-driving cars gathered simultaneously — and it all turned out to be a prank organized by 23-year-old tech guy Riley Walz.

He coordinated with flashmob participants to simultaneously order Waymo to the same location, calling the stunt "the world's first WAYMO DDOS" — analogous to a cyberattack where a system is overloaded with requests. The cars arrived, neatly parked one after another, creating a perfectly orchestrated nightmare for the navigation algorithm. 👀

After ten minutes, the cars dispersed, and participants each received a $5 fine for being "no-shows."
