Midjourney once built its reputation on turning short text descriptions into elaborate digital images. The company has now announced a sharp turn toward hardware that produces something far more personal: three-dimensional maps of what lies beneath a person’s skin. The new effort, called Midjourney Medical, centers on an ultrasound scanner designed to gather rich body-composition data in roughly a minute while the user stands in a shallow pool of gently lit water.
Demand for artificial intelligence compute continues to rise, necessitating the search for new sources of reliable power and effective cooling. Facilities built on land frequently face opposition from communities concerned about electricity bills, noise, and water consumption. Panthalassa, a Pacific Northwest-based company, has spent the last decade developing floating platforms that generate power straight from ocean waves while staying cool in the surrounding waters. Data is transmitted to and from the platforms via satellite links rather than undersea cables. The strategy isolates operations far from shore and takes advantage of wave energy that is available around the clock in strategically chosen places.
Builders from SqueezLabs set out to answer a simple question. What if an AI assistant did not need data centers, internet connections, or even a battery? Their answer sits inside a compact red enclosure with a hand crank mounted on one side, called CrankGPT. Turn the handle and the system wakes up. Keep turning and it stays alive while it listens, thinks, and speaks.
Long trips into the backcountry or extended stays at a campsite often hit the same wall once phones, laptops, and cameras start running low. Most standard power banks simply run out of capacity or lack the wattage to charge current electronics at a reasonable rate. Jackery designed the Explorer 240D, priced at $129 (was $179), to tackle just those scenarios, with a focus on real-world portability and convenience.
Tobi Friedly has delivered exactly what many fans hoped for but never expected to see on original hardware. The full Super Mario 64 experience now runs on the classic Nintendo DS, and it includes proper local co-op for two players who each bring their own handheld.
