Starlink was truly impressive this time.
After a tropical storm hit Hawaii, ground base stations were also affected, leaving more than 200,000 local households without power, yet Starlink still transmitted thousands of text messages.
At the time, repair crews were still waiting for the weather to improve before entering the affected areas to restore the base stations, but Starlink had already begun working.
Starlink could work first because it turned satellites into mobile base stations, without needing to wait for local base stations to regain power.
The satellites used 4G signals recognizabl

Niu Lai is getting more and more absurd—this can make money too? Everyone can apply for a Dragon Mark and make a movie now.
Niu Lai's box office has already exploded. As of this afternoon, it had risen from over 7,000 yuan to more than 4.6 million yuan, and Maoyan at one point predicted a final box office of 18.37 million yuan.
Not only has it made money at the box office, but a Meme coin with the same name has also emerged, with its market cap briefly approaching $30 million in just 3 days.
How did a movie like this even make it into theaters?
Actually, getting the Dragon Mark and whether a m

A netizen insisted on becoming a millionaire through options.
He traded continuously for six years, losing $232k, and this year borrowed another $125k in high-interest loans to invest in stocks.
As a result, the money was gone again two months later, and he went bankrupt.
He started trading during the pandemic.
A friend told him that options could make money easily, so he entered the market with $5,000, only to lose it all in less than two months.
But he did not give up. Over the next six years, whenever he received his monthly paycheck, he put whatever money he could spare back into his accou

After reducing his holdings for a year, Tudor Jones has started buying back Bitcoin ETFs while cutting his call options by 85%.
Looking only at a top macro trader buying Bitcoin again could lead to a misreading of this portfolio.
In the latest disclosures of U.S. institutional quarterly holdings, the BlackRock Bitcoin ETF IBIT directly held by his funds rose from 579k shares to 689k shares, an increase of 18.9%.
At the end of 2024, this position had reached 8.05 million shares and currently remains at just 8.6% of its peak.
Over the same period, the number of underlying shares represented by I

Bought 11 Q call options, and overnight, the options exercised automatically, suddenly turning the account into a stock position worth over $800k😅
This user bought Q call options expiring on August 14 with a strike price of $731. He did not sell them before expiration and did not know that the broker would automatically exercise them after expiration.
As a result, after Friday's close, the account directly bought 1,100 shares of Q at $731 each, leaving a $804.1k stock position in the account.
What was originally just an options trade now requires holding an $800,000 Q position through the ent

Jane Street had gone 10 years without a losing month, but in July it lost $15 billion in a single month.
Even more unusually, it had actually bought put options long before that.
However, Jane Street was hedging against a sharp drop over a short period, while AI stocks fell throughout the entire month of July.
The share prices of several major storage and semiconductor companies fell by about 50% cumulatively, with stocks declining every day while the put options moved closer to expiration, ultimately proving almost useless.
More troubling was that several positions ran into problems at the sa

After investing for two years, he finally got his entire portfolio to a floating gain of 59%, only for it to plunge all the way to a floating loss of 39%—a 98-percentage-point swing.
This Japanese investor holds both Japanese stocks and U.S. ETFs, including Kioxia among his Japanese stocks. At its peak, his entire portfolio had a book gain of 59%.
In the first half of this year, demand for storage chips from AI data centers continued to heat up, and Kioxia’s share price kept rising, reaching a high of ¥112.7k.
By July, the market had begun to worry that AI investment was overheating, while cap

18-year-old student Kobe was working a summer job at a construction site, laying drainage pipes, when he dug up a large bag of gold worth 70 million yuan.
However, he discovered the money together with his colleagues, so they had no choice but to report it to the police and hand it over🤣
Under Belgian regulations, as long as five years pass without anyone proving that the gold belongs to them, Kobe and his colleagues may have the opportunity to split half of the gold.
But now, the police not only need to investigate whether the gold is stolen property or proceeds of crime.
The contractor, the

Grok 4.6 took first place in a real-world coding test with the lowest cost and the best performance.
Its score was only 0.3 percentage points higher than second-place Fable 5, but its cost per task was only one-sixth as much.
The benchmark was conducted by Cursor using real coding tasks, mainly evaluating whether AI can understand projects, modify multiple files, and complete development work.
In terms of actual performance, Grok scored 70.8 points, Claude Fable 5 scored 70.5, Claude Opus 5 scored 70, and GPT-5.6 Sol scored 67.2.
The most striking difference was in cost.
Grok completed a task

A 15-year-old South Korean boy already has $40k in his U.S. stock account 🤣
Last night, the boy posted a screenshot of his account in a South Korean U.S. stock community.
The account’s total value is $40.3k, with a cost basis of approximately $37.2k, unrealized gains of $3,031, and a return of 8.15%.
When asked how he manages it, he said he diversified across nearly 30 stocks. He owns Apple, Alphabet, Netflix, and Oracle, as well as Robinhood and Reddit, and also bought IonQ and Rocket Lab.
But he declined to say exactly how he selects stocks or when he buys 🤣
All of these holdings ar

After painstakingly turning $1,400 into $52k, he nearly lost it all in less than a day.
This trader once enjoyed a streak of consecutive wins, turning $1,400 into as much as $52k.
On August 6, he began trading 0DTE options expiring that day, originally intending to get in and out quickly, and bought Q call and put options at different strike prices.
But after several consecutive losses, he would immediately buy another contract after losing on one, constantly changing the strike price and direction, solely wanting to quickly win back his earlier losses.
His position sizes did not shrink as his

70% of young Americans do not trust Musk.
Although they use AI frequently, they do not trust those who control AI, nor do they believe AI will improve their work and lives.
The renowned research institution Generation Lab surveyed more than 1,000 Americans aged 18 to 34.
The questionnaire listed nine AI industry leaders and asked whether respondents believed they would handle AI issues responsibly. The results were extremely grim.
The highest distrust rate was recorded for Alex Karp, CEO of U.S. defense technology company Palantir, at 81%,
followed closely by the company’s chairman, Peter Thie
