Another set of strange excuses for not sending air power so Ukraine can defend itself. 1/8.

The humble lamp can come in many different forms, but nearly all of them feature a singular bulb that is uninspired and only responds to a light switch or potentially an app. YouTuber Tom Ouwerkerk, on the other hand, has designed a creative light accessory that is entirely 3D-printed and includes an intelligent central bulb that “magically” levitates above the base, defying gravity.
For the base of the lamp, Ouwerkerk printed a simple ring with a cutout on its side for plugging in a DC barrel jack. From there, he added an Arduino Nano Every that is responsible for controlling a strip of four WS2812B RGB LEDs and sensing if the bulb has been placed into its off position. When the bulb isn’t resting on top of the base, its top magnet gets attracted to the other magnet, which faces down from the top of the lamp and helps pull it upwards for the floating effect.

Valve President calls metaverse a problem that was solved a decade ago.
Gabe Newell, the co-founder and CEO of Valve Corporation, the company that gave us iconic games like Half-Life and Portal, does not believe in the hype around the metaverse.
In an interview with PC Mag, Newell even went on to say “Most of the people who are talking about metaverse have absolutely no idea what they’re talking about”. ## The hype around the Metaverse.

The World Health Organization has confirmed that the new variant, dubbed Deltacron — a combination of Delta and Omicron — has been detected in the France, Denmark and the Netherlands.
The ‘Stepping Into the Future’ conference is coming up soon — April 23-24th to be exact. It’s online and it’s free (via zoom). It will be fun & exciting — I hope you can all make it. Many of the synopses of coming talks are already online (linked to from the agenda) — so check them out.

We are in the midst of a technological avalanche – surprisingly to many, AI has made the impossible possible. In a rapidly changing world maintaining and expanding our capacity to innovate is essential.
Deep below the crust of Earth, past the thick mantle and liquid outer core, lies a 1,220-kilometer (760 mile) ball of solid inner core.
But a new study has suggested that the inner core is not solid at all, instead forming a ‘superionic state’ with hydrogen, oxygen, and carbon, making it unlike either a liquid or a solid.
We can’t exactly drill down the 6,371 km (3,959 miles) to the center of the Earth to check what’s going on, so scientists use Earth’s natural drill – seismic waves from earthquakes – to understand the composition of our planet.
