The guitar strings hover there, kept in place solely by magnetic force. They are not being held in place by any pegs or bridges.

The system employs a general-purpose world model known as Genie 3, as well as some fancy tools such as Nano Banana Pro (for creating some very nice graphics) and Gemini (which is intended to function as the operation’s brain).
Garage Tinkering has transformed the Nissan 350Z car menu into something a lot more thrilling than your typical monotonous OEM interface.

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope continues to capture views that transport you far into the cosmos, and this latest look at Pismis 24 is particularly compelling. When you combine that with Chandra’s keen eye for high-energy bursts, you have an unmistakable depiction of chaos and creation. Pismis 24 is a young cluster of massive stars that are still in their prime, clustered together in a tight young group around 5,500 light years away in the constellation Scorpius, hidden within the expansive Lobster Nebula section of NGC 6357, one of the Milky Way’s most prolific star formation locations.
