SpaceX is targeting Starship Flight 14 NET Monday, September 28, 2026 at 7:15 a.m. CT (12:15 UTC). This will be the FIRST orbital launch attempt of Starship with Ship 41 and Booster 21, carrying the first operational batch of 26 Starlink V3 satellites on a roughly 10-hour mission of about six orbits at around 275 km before a Pacific Ocean splashdown. Booster 21 will splash down in the Gulf after boostback, making this a major step from prior suborbital tests toward sustained orbit, payload ops, and eventual full reuse.

[snip] In July I paid a visit to Lawrence Livermore National Labs which hosts the fastest supercomputer in the US, a couple of months earlier it was the fastest supercomputer in the world, but Moore's law means computer supremacy is fleeting. El Capitan is an exaflop scale system, meaning is can run 10^18 calculations per second (a billion, billion), and this is measured by benchmarks that require tight cooperation between it's thousands of corse. There are datacenters with many more processors, but those may not perform at the same level because of the interconnectedness required for this kind of task....

Senate Homeland Security Committee Chairman Rand Paul, R-Ky., tells Just the News his investigation into Dr. Anthony Fauci's stewardship of the COVID-19 pandemic has uncovered fresh evidence of government-document destruction and more extensive gain-of-function research that enhances the human lethality of viruses. Paul, an M.D. specializing in ophthalmologic surgery, said the revelations were included in communications on Fauci's phone, computer and diary and were the reason why his committee tried but failed Wednesday to pass a measure granting prosecutorial immunity to a former top aide to Fauci so she could testify freely about the issues. "More explosive information that comes...

It’s hard to believe in this day and age that women are still falling for these Nigerian online romance scams. But they are. And they’re losing a lot of money. Most of us hear “romance scam” and picture some absurdly obvious message from a Nigerian prince in Africa, who’s promising eternal love after three hours and asking for a Western Union wire transfer. Who falls for that anymore? Apparently, a lot of people. Because six Nigerian nationals accused of belonging to an organized criminal network are now being extradited to the United States after reportedly targeting more than 100 American...

Artificial intelligence may become the most powerful information technology humanity has ever created. It will increasingly determine what people read, what children learn, how governments operate and, perhaps most importantly, what billions of people believe to be true. So there is a question just as important as what AI will eventually be capable of doing: Who gets to make the rules? United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres wants the UN to play a major role in answering that question. The organization has launched a Global Dialogue on AI Governance, created an international scientific panel on AI and is pushing countries toward...

While the same 'current thing' leftists who spent years on climate, oil and "Palestine" now chants that AI will wipe out the human race, FBI Director Kash Patel just announced that the agency is using the technology to actively prevent mass shootings, including school attacks, before they happen.Patel said artificial intelligence helped the bureau prevent possible school shootings in North Carolina and about half a dozen other states, and that he has increased the FBI's use of AI by 605 percent.That is the version of AI that the pause-and-treaty crowd does not want discussed.? JUST NOW: In a MASSIVE win,...

Princeton researchers just ran a first-of-its-kind test of the AI industry's boldest promise: that AI will soon improve itself with almost no human oversight. They gave frontier AI agents six days, $3,000 in compute, and every resource they asked for -- and both papers were unambiguously rejected. But the machine didn't fail the way you'd think. It aced every task. What it couldn't do was the job. In this video: the tasks vs. jobs distinction, the five failure modes, and the Turing Award-winning math that explains exactly which parts of your work AI can take -- and which it can't...

The Supreme Court told the Trump administration on Monday that the midterms will be run on the same mail-ballot machinery that has been driving half the country crazy since 2020. Standardized envelopes, unique barcodes, and a list of who is actually supposed to receive a ballot? Not this year. Maybe later. That is the practical meaning of the unsigned emergency order. The justices left standing the nationwide blocks on the Postal Service’s Ballot Mail for Federal Elections rule. Fox News and The Gateway Pundit both reported the denial of the stay. Alabama, North Carolina, and Wisconsin have already started stuffing...

The television is off. The screen is dark. The family has stopped watching. But what if the television has not stopped watching them? A major investigation into LG smart televisions has uncovered an extraordinary amount of data collection occurring through a device millions of families still think of as little more than an entertainment system. Researchers working with Gamers Nexus, Level1Techs and independent security specialists found televisions scanning local networks and identifying nearby phones, smartwatches, printers, thermostats, air purifiers and other connected devices. They also examined LG's Automatic Content Recognition technology, which can identify what viewers are watching across apps...

Just as "The Obsolete Man," which aired in 1961, depicted a future society in which technology had rendered certain professions obsolete, a recent survey showed that, as AI reshapes the workplace, most U.S. workers fear becoming obsolete in the future workforce and believe developing new skills is essential to job security.While many workers attributed their fear of obsolescence to a lack of skill with the latest technologies, some hiring and workforce professionals said building interpersonal skills is increasingly critical, especially at a time when many young people are living in a digital world.ETS, a global nonprofit educational testing and measurement...

A Utah software engineer who was recently hired by the Pentagon is under fire after unveiling a database she built to track people with ties to the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA). Why it matters: Critics say the "DSA Explorer" is an inappropriate use of sensitive political information by a federal employee at best — and amounts to government spying on U.S. citizens at worst. The other side: Jennica Pounds, the rightwing Utah influencer and data analyst known as DataRepublican, tells Newsweek she created the website as a "personal project" and that it doesn't involve government money or input. Neither...

In popular mythology, America is the land that innovates while Europe regulates. America gets on with things while Europe prevaricates by allowing Luddites, environmentalists and all kinds of naysayers to call the tune. There is some truth in that, which is why the growth in the US economy has outstripped that of Europe this century. It’s also why America has a near monopoly in the tech sphere that now shapes our age. Now, however, America, like Europe, finds itself consumed by a popular war against data centers. Given that these centers are the beating heart of the modern economy, just...

In a year as chaotic, violent, and economically destructive as this one has been, it is interesting that, to many Americans, the great villain of 2026 is turning out to be a traffic camera.But, indeed, we are seeing visceral, cross-partisan opposition to so-called Flock cameras—named after the leading manufacturer of these automated license plate readers—take hold in communities across the country. And that opposition is, to be sure, entirely legitimate.Flock’s camera networks are based on the idea that, while it would obviously be illegal and unconstitutional for law enforcement at any and all levels to put GPS trackers in everyone’s...

A recent report from Stanford reviewed the latest employment data and found that, so far, AI has not resulted in large scale job destruction. Meanwhile, new hiring data from the Economic Times reveals that AI is actively fueling unprecedented job creation, with AI skills now powering nearly two-thirds of new Global Capability Center hiring. Together, these recent dispatches from the front lines of the labor market point to a calming reality: the much-dreaded AI job apocalypse hasn't materialized as a sudden extinction event.The (sometimes buried) lede: AI is delivering real impact, and it is broadly changing the nature of work....

The Oklahoma Democrat Senate candidate is a weird duck. To be fair, all Democrats are weird, but this one is particularly strange. She is making a 'Burn Book' and putting Markwayne Mullin in it. Girl, get a grip. You aren't a teenager. VIDEOS AND REPLIES AT LINK...............

Well, for a movement we were told was just an “idea,” a massive swath of Antifa sure seems to have developed one helluva IT department. The public image of Antifa has always been this loosey-goosey street-level chaos, complete with black clothes, masks, pool noodles, broken windows, fights with cops, and somebody always setting something on fire. But those who pay even the slightest bit of attention know there’s a lot more to this very coordinated, highly funded network of anti-American storm troopers. And one of the biggest things they need are places to communicate without being easily tracked. They need...

Indira Talwani (U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee) It’s official. Obama-appointed U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani, the same Boston activist who spent the last two months trying to kill President Trump’s mail-in ballot security order, has now been forced to lift her nationwide injunction. The Justice Department asked her to reconsider after the Supreme Court slapped down her other block on Monday. On Wednesday she folded. In a nine-page order, Talwani conceded that, after Trump v. California, the League of Women Voters plaintiffs are “not likely to prevail as to ripeness” unless they rewrite their complaint now that the Postal Service has...

Artificial intelligence (AI) is not some distant experiment reserved for Silicon Valley giants. It already reshapes Main Street. Far from ushering in Armageddon, AI gives small business owners the power to cut costs, serve customers better, and compete against anyone in the world. Republicans who recoil from this reality are handing the future to Beijing. They also embolden a Democrat party now captured by hard-left forces that despise the very foundations of this country. Roger Williams, congressional Republican from Texas, is chairman of the House Committee on Small Business. He recently convened a hearing titled “AI on Main Street” that...

The Trump administration plans to charge US employers $103,265 in new fees to hire highly skilled foreign workers via the H-1B visa program - an eye-popping increase that comes amid the administration's broader hard-line immigration crackdown. The six-figure hike, proposed Monday by the Department of Homeland Security, would force employers to shoulder the extra $103,000 in costs for each H-1B recipient, in addition to other filing fees currently in place.
