Scientists are losing their minds over this paper.
They proved every mitochondria in your body is a tiny quantum device running at 71 THz.
And it responds to light.
Researchers detected a mysterious 71.0-terahertz vibration signal. this frequency is only present in healthy, living cells and tissues.
exact moment the cell dies or the mitochondrial structures are broken apart, the signal vanishes completely.
How does this happen?
Classical physics has always struggled to explain the high energy-efficiency of life.
So the team built a quantum model of light-matter coupling and discovered something called a "mito-polariton".
It is a literal quantum superposition state that forms when light couples with lipid ch2 bonds inside functional mitochondria.
This quantum resonance splits the intrinsic vibration mode into two levels, creating that bizarre 71 thz frequency that you only see in living things.
Why does this matter?
Because this quantum state actually acts as a highly efficient channel to modulate atp production in living cells.
our bodies literally use quantum mechanics to generate the energy that keeps us alive.

💥The clock is ticking. If the 97% of cryptocurrencies on the market that are not quantum-resistant fail to transition, they will collapse.
$IONQ says 20,000 qubits could break a 256-bit key in 26 days.
The paper landed September 8, the same day Superion 256 launched. 19,397 physical qubits, 1,457 logical, 25.7 days per attempt on secp256k1, the curve behind Bitcoin signatures.
It builds on Walking Cat, the fault-tolerant architecture IonQ published in April.
A resource estimate, for a machine on IonQ's roadmap: 20,000 physical qubits in 2028.

CLAUDE + JEV ENGINEERING = THE HARNESS SKILL THAT GETS AI ENGINEERS PROMOTED IN 2026
1,000 decisions on a cold frontier model cost $605
the same 1,000 through this harness cost $0.17
the core idea:
Claude proposes, Jev answers, code decides
every step leaves a receipt
the loop:
> propose - Claude writes plans and patches, and decides nothing
> filter - code drops the routes your machine can't run before Jev ever sees them
> answer - Jev picks from code's menu with a probability, or abstains
> re-check - code checks the pick against live state. stale goes to fallback
> act - the tool runs through the normal approval path
> receipt - every step logged and replayable against a new policy
the numbers:
> 0.2s median per call
> ~$0.0002 per desktop step
> 49 of 49 WebMCP tasks passed
the key insight: "I don't know" is a real answer here
when Jev is only 38% sure, a fallback written in advance fires instead of a guess
worth stealing even if you never touch Jev:
> one decision the harness can check
> the exact options code prepared
> a defined path for when the model isn't sure
> a way to measure what actually happened
the engineer who can walk into a meeting and turn a $605 line into 17 cents is the one who gets asked to design the next system
the model got the words, Jev got the choices, and code kept the final say

i genuinely don't understand why everyone isn't doing this yet
Grok Bot watches your X timeline, figures out why other posts blow up and writes my next one before i even know what to post.
i used to burn ~3 hours a day on this:
scroll -> save posts -> check views -> dump ideas into notes -> stare at a blank draft -> repeat
so i built a tiny X newsroom instead:
-> Scout tracks ~18 accounts, skips replies, drops anything under 5K views, stars 10K+
-> then scans ~20 fresh AI posts from the last 48h to catch what the whole feed suddenly talks about
-> it breaks down what worked: hook, keywords, structure, topic, tool, CTA
-> Draft turns those patterns into a new post + a short video idea
-> Board tracks everything: found, drafted, posted, still to do
-> i fix whatever sounds dumb and hit Post myself. nothing auto-posts
it doesn't invent trends. it reads what people already proved with their attention.
one Claude bug-hunting post from this workflow did ~2.1M views.
the math:
~3 hours/day back
~$1K/month not spent on assistants
1–2 posts/day without living in the feed
a little AI employee with one job:
find what works -> figure out why -> hand me something worth posting
it's public and free

Everyone is thinking about quantum wrong.
For sure, “Q-day”, when quantum machines finally have the capacity to pick the locks of the world’s existing encryption defenses, is coming.
No one knows when.
But AI is accelerating it—breakthroughs are happening.
And it could be very soon…putting approximately $500 trillion in assets at risk!
How soon? Well, the US government is telling companies to migrate critical systems now.
So, faced with the biggest threat to cryptography in history….
If only there was an industry with a concentration of world class cryptographers…
But the good news is that there is—and it’s the crypto industry.
No, quantum won’t kill crypto.
Quantum will be a major unlock and forcing function.
It will accelerate the world onchain.

I asked Opus 5.5 to explain gravitational lensing by building an interactive black hole lab
One prompt for the first version, then a dynamic workflow to polish it for three rounds while I slept. This is what I woke up to: 5h 28m end to end, $90 at API prices
blackhole.voxyz.ai
Drag the black hole and the sky behind it bends into arcs, closing into a full ring when everything lines up
Each round ran 3 agents. Two reviewers each picked 9 to 10 issues and ranked them P0, P1, P2. The third one fixed them.
Round 1: 3D materials and lighting + UI and type
Round 2: camera motion and interaction + science-communication design
Round 3: a design director deciding whether it ships + visual QA and performance
Every P0 got fixed, the rest only if worth it. When the two reviewers disagreed, it picked one and wrote down why. It backed up before each round, checked screenshots after, and rolled back anything it couldn't fix.

Ethereum’s first post-quantum testnet is live. The algorithm chosen is SPHINCS (and I won’t even pretend to know what it is, apart from the fact that it’s an acronym).
The point, however, is this: every single blockchain without an operational plan for the transition to post-quantum computing is worth less every day and, mathematically speaking, tends towards zero.
HABEMUS TESTNET — DAISUGI v0.1
A post-quantum Ethereum testnet using hash-based SPHINCS signatures with non-native account abstraction.
Big thanks to @riva_labs and @GiulioRebuffo.
Coming next:
• Frame Transactions
• Signature aggregation via LeanSPHINCS
Believe in somETHing. Link ⬇️

2 features that will become a baseline requirement for crypto:
- Privacy
- Post-quantum security
Both will have to be easy to use and at a low cost.

Nvidia's complete 180 on Quantum has to be studied.
Went from Jensen saying it was 30 years away to becoming one of the most important figures in the ecosystem.
Lots of opportunity here.

JEV is crazy!!!
I got access, so naturally I had to try it with the Three.js Grassworks demo.
I built an AI Scene Director that takes a simple prompt and changes a whole set of scene and grass parameters to customize the environment based on your instructions.
And it’s FAST. Really damn fast.
You can literally describe what you want and watch the entire environment transform.
Should I add this in the live Three.js Grassworks demo?

JUST IN: LEGENDARY INVESTOR KEVIN O'LEARY JUST SAID #BITCOIN WON'T HIT $1,000,000 UNTIL IT SOLVES QUANTUM COMPUTING
"QUANTUM COULD BREAK THE ALGORITHM, THE CHAIN, AND THE ENCRYPTION"
"IT MUST RESOLVE THIS CREEPING DOUBT"
"IT'S A THEME FOR INVESTORS THAT IS NOT GOING AWAY ANYTIME SOON"
"IT WILL HIT $1,000,000 IF IT CAN RESOLVE IT" 👀

Quantum will create unprecedented returns for:
Pharma
Financial
Materials and mining
Fertilizer
AND SO MUCH MORE
Day to day PA doesn’t matter $INFQ
THE BIGGEST WINNERS IN QUANTUM MIGHT NOT EVEN BE FROM QUANTUM COMPANIES.
@chamath brings up a point from Warren Buffet that when refrigeration was invented, the people who built refrigerators made some money. The people who made fortunes were the ones who figured out what to do with it for example Coca Cola
Apply that to quantum computing and we'll see a similar result.
Now companies like Quantinuum or Infleqtion will still make an absolute fortune if they achieve a Fault Tolerant computer and the winners will go on to become some of the biggest companies in the world but some of the biggest fortunes in quantum will be built by the companies that use the machine to do something nobody could do before.
Where the Coca Colas sit today:
Pharma: Every drug ever made was found by trial and error and 90% fail. A quantum computer ends the guessing. It runs the chemistry of a molecule inside the body before it exists in a lab, which means cancer, Alzheimer's, and diseases we've never cured stop being lottery tickets and become search problems.
Energy: Aramco just put a quantum computer inside its own data center and signed Quantinuum's Helios to a research pact. The prize is carbon capture chemistry and reservoir optimization on the largest hydrocarbon base on earth.
Critical minerals: yesterday USA Rare Earth pointed Pasqal's machine at rare earth separation, the chokepoint China controls. Solve one molecule and you break a monopoly.
Finance: JPMorgan runs the biggest quantum team on Wall Street, not to sell quantum, but to price risk faster than everyone else.
Pure play quantum names are only one part of the trade.
