She’s in a new place with beautiful scenery so she’s looking around at it as she drives. This is unacceptable for the car<br/><br/>“Every time I look to the right for a nanosecond or something, it would shine across the screen, keep your eyes on the road. Keep your eyes on the road. I&#39;ve been driving for years, never needed a warning or a signal — I&#39;d rather just drive the car and let it be. I thought it was a little creepy.”<br/><br/>The car she’s driving is the Subaru Outback with Subaru’s DriverFocus, it’s their Distraction Mitigation System<br/><br/>- It uses an infrared camera to watch the driver’s eyes and head position in real time<br/>- If it decides your eyes or head aren’t facing forward long enough, as short as 2 seconds, it flashes a visual warning and often beeps with a “keep your eyes on the road” message<br/>- It also watches for eye closure ratio and head nodding<br/><br/>It gets even worse,<br/><br/>It can recognize up to 5 registered drivers with facial geometry. It maps distances between eyes, nose, mouth and more<br/><br/>The last thing I would want when buying a car is a monitoring system telling me I can’t glance at the scenery<br/><br/>This has already gone too far<br/><br/>@wallstreetapes <a href="https://www.minds.com/newsfeed/1957061815661760512">https://www.minds.com/newsfeed/1957061815661760512</a> 2026-10-14T11:04:57Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqs9a25xvhn2et9cz09ucl82d5p8cgup66ug06jlnmg43qac6xrcvkczyqvgdjgacpn2kx0wnw8lfhmdt3nvkqvw2cmzf57n9tm5x5n3mlggwfkg349 A ROBOT JUST FLEW UP, HOVERED IN PLACE, AND GRABBED A GUN OUT OF SOMEONE&#39;S HANDS. 🚀🤖<br/>It stood up, then lifted straight off the ground on a jetpack — arms and legs hanging loose while its body held steady in the air.<br/><br/>It tilted side to side, staying balanced without ever touching down.<br/><br/>Then a worker walked up and handed it a rifle. Still hovering, the robot reached out, took it, and held it steady.<br/><br/>No walking. No running. It just skipped straight to flying. <a href="https://www.minds.com/newsfeed/1951743571031973888">https://www.minds.com/newsfeed/1951743571031973888</a> 2026-09-29T18:52:08Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqspnwl8vyraywc2hrgavm5eg5x2uzj509sj834rttud3qzx0axn37czyqvgdjgacpn2kx0wnw8lfhmdt3nvkqvw2cmzf57n9tm5x5n3mlggwl6mdsm Warning: This Carl Sagan explaination has caused existential crises.<br/><br/>He explains how 5th dimensional beings perceive 3D creatures, and the implications are so disturbing, I paused it three times<br/>He said:<br/><br/>A being from the 5th dimension could reach into your locked house, take an object off your kitchen table, and place it in orbit around Jupiter without ever crossing a wall, a door, or the vacuum of space.<br/><br/>People ridiculed when Carl Sagan said this.<br/><br/>But, he was walking through the cleanest piece of geometric logic in modern physics, and most people who watched it never realized what he actually gave them.<br/><br/>The demonstration starts small.<br/><br/>Imagine a flat creature living on a sheet of paper. Its entire universe is length and width. It has no concept of &#34;up&#34; because up doesn&#39;t exist in its world. The direction is literally unthinkable to its nervous system.<br/><br/>Now take a three-dimensional apple and push it slowly through the paper.<br/><br/>What does the flat creature see?<br/><br/>A dot appears from nowhere. The dot expands into a circle. The circle grows, shrinks, then collapses back into nothing. The apple was always whole. The flatlander only ever perceived cross-sections of something its dimensions could not contain.<br/><br/>That&#39;s the entire trick.<br/><br/>Sagan&#39;s move was to rotate the analogy upward and let you feel the vertigo yourself.<br/><br/>You are the flatlander. Your body, your brain, your sensory apparatus evolved to process three spatial dimensions and one directional slice of time.<br/><br/>Anything existing in a higher dimension would pass through your world the same way that apple passed through the paper. As fragments, apparitions, sudden appearances, inexplicable disappearances.<br/><br/>A 4D being could see every organ in your body simultaneously from the outside, the way you can see every room of a dollhouse at once from above.<br/><br/>A 5D being could observe your entire lifetime from every version of you from infant to corpse like a single unmoving sculpture stretched across time.<br/><br/>What&#39;s interesting is it&#39;s a direct consequence of how dimensions mathematically nest inside one another.<br/><br/>Every dimension has full access to the interior of the one below it. A 3D hand can touch any point inside a 2D square without crossing its edges. A 4D hand could touch any point inside your sealed body without breaking your skin.<br/><br/>Sagan has really handed us a quiet reframe of every &#34;impossible&#34; phenomenon humans have reported for thousands of years like visions, presences, objects moving through walls, beings that seem to know your past and future.<br/><br/>Though his Geometry doesn&#39;t confirm any of it. But it removes the argument that such things would violate physics.<br/><br/>@thedarshakrana <a href="https://www.minds.com/newsfeed/1942333418490781696">https://www.minds.com/newsfeed/1942333418490781696</a> 2026-09-03T19:39:33Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqstcfaxlnexpmeyvjl3lqe3qjkxjdcm9dp60yhqq03vd7ymqx55f4gzyqvgdjgacpn2kx0wnw8lfhmdt3nvkqvw2cmzf57n9tm5x5n3mlggwx30mfe Psyche-16 is metal-rich asteroid and might contain gold and rare metals worth over 700 quintillion dollars — enough to make every human on Earth a billionaire (mathematically).<br/><br/>A NASA spacecraft is currently speeding towards this rare metal-rich asteroid.<br/>@curiosity <a href="https://www.minds.com/newsfeed/1902756436983681024">https://www.minds.com/newsfeed/1902756436983681024</a> 2026-05-17T14:34:46Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsvjrvsfyyn5z2w5cee5dde338u4mphkghnnlrw5v2z28nkmnzm3cgzyqvgdjgacpn2kx0wnw8lfhmdt3nvkqvw2cmzf57n9tm5x5n3mlggwwkys4a 143 million people thought they were catching Pokémon, they were mapping the real world for AI<br/>@sciencegirl <a href="https://www.minds.com/newsfeed/1880962137824698368">https://www.minds.com/newsfeed/1880962137824698368</a> 2026-03-18T11:12:00Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsde2lgvgym62gtrhl38lcsvxdqzswrmc9xtee3qk2a6x8524y69qgzyqvgdjgacpn2kx0wnw8lfhmdt3nvkqvw2cmzf57n9tm5x5n3mlggwmsfkl2 🚨 RECORD BROKEN: The shortest unit of time ever measured. ⚡️<br/><br/>Meet the Zeptosecond. ⚛️ It takes a photon about 247 zeptoseconds just to cross a single hydrogen molecule.
