📌 News Update: 7 PM (La Jolla-time) Sat, July 11, 2026

We now believe President Trump "may" soon authorize a strike on Iran's Pickaxe Mountain nuclear facilities.

Specifically, using the "nuclear bunker buster" B61-11.

OR, alternatively, using the B61-12 as an immediate follow-up to a conventional bunker buster attack.

Note that the -12 variant has a lowest-yield setting of 0.3 kilotons,
while the -11 variant has a lowest-yield setting of 10 kilotons.

By comparison, the Hiroshima (Little Boy) bomb had a yield of about 15 kilotons,
while Nagasaki's (Fat Man) was roughly 21 kilotons.

Our take, if President Trump feels the need, we hope he goes with the -12 with its 0.3 kiloton setting.

We estimate the odds of this actually happening at 20%.

NOT high, but also NO where close to zero.

On a side note, Putin naturally becomes an immediate wildcard if this occurs.

And here, naturally WRT Ukraine.

One more thing to announce today.

A RE-post of our AI & ML Landscape table.

We're RE-posting this today because we came across a comprehensive article on Reinforcement Learning (RL) that touts:

"Meta just created a top tier RL environment startup"

We don't buy it !

AI currently has ONE & ONLY ONE good Use Case.

That as an AI Research Assistant in a Field where the User is either already at-least somewhat of an Expert, OR is trying hard to become one.

AI continues to make too many mistakes !

Users MUST be able to detect when AI is hallucinating.

NO way around it.

The important thing to know is that High-Quality, properly-Annotated Data is MORE important that the Model's algo.

And here, we believe Physical AI has significantly-more potential than LLM-based AI.

To us, the Frontier Models went down a Rabit Hole with LLMs.

It got them 85-90% of the way there.

Good-enough for Consumers, but NOT good-enough for Enterprises OR Govts.

But Consumers won't pay.

That ONLY leaves Enterprises & Govts.

And there, the quality isn't high enough.

And probably NEVER will be.

The companies behind the Frontier Models have exhausted their supply of publicly-Available & FREE data.

And, they will soon be ingesting content that they themselves generated.

Thus creating the JPEG from a JPEG-like problem (for themselves).

Most of AI & ML is going to Fail.

📌 News Update: 9 AM (La Jolla-time) Sat, July 11, 2026

We're 100% convinced, & have been for awhile,
that President Trump is going to try to over-throw the Midterms.

And we're NOT cool with that !

As such, today we've decided to sacrifice Photosets for the greater good, which we refer to as "CRITCoal's Save America Act" ...

where CRITCoal stands for Center-Right Independent Thinkers Coalition.

Now here's the kicker, if CRITCoal is able to gain traction soon, perhaps very soon, President Trump may see the wisdom in NOT trying to over-throw the Midterms.

For clarity here, we believe Trump does what he does, & has been able to get away with it, primarily because we here in the States ONLY have two "legacy" political parties.

Two "super-polarized" political parties.

Add into the mix that President Trump greatly fears the Dems takikng over Congress.

American needs TWO new political parties, one on the Center-Right & one on the Center-Left.

President Trump isn't worried about losing Power OR Votes to the Far-Left Democrats.

The Far-Left Democrats aren't worried about losing Power OR Votes to the Far-Right Republicans.

If we here in America had even ONE new political party in the Middle, both would greatly fear that party.

Now consider this, from our perspective, doesn't even need to be a political party, could just be a Grass Roots Movement.

A movement that force both legacy political parties to move to the center (for their own survival).

We'd be perfectly OK with that.

It would be like how things used to be in the early/mid-1990s.

OK, but how does Photosets fit into the mix ?

We plan to use a portion of the proceeds to get the Ball Rolling.

America's Political Spectrum

The bottom row represents Voters we believe would be attracted to what CRITCoal stands for.
CRITCoal = Center-Right Independent Thinkers Coalition
(table last updated 5 PM, Mon, April 20, 2026)

The Left		The Center		The Right
Progressives	Legacy Democrats	Center-Left	Center-Right (1)	Legacy Republicans	MAGA

16.7%	16.7%	16.7%	16.7%	16.7%	16.7%

-	-	✔	✔	✔	-

(1) This is where CRITCoal is positioned.

Notice that (our estimate of) the Center-Right (voting block) is just as big as the Far-Right (i.e., MAGA) & the Far-Left (i.e., the Progressives).

📌 News Update: 2 PM (La Jolla-time) Fri, July 10, 2026

Something important hit us today.

There are alot of people who don't like President Trump.

There are alot of people who don't like Elon Musk.

There aren't alot of people who don't like Tim Cook.

Now here's the kicker, when Trump OR Musk screw up it becomes Common Knowledge very quickly, but when Tim Cook screws up, it doesn't.

It's hidden from public eye.

We think it's ONLY fair to President Trump, Elon Musk, & ALL others, that Tim Cook get the same treatment.

It's simply NOT OK for Tim Cook's Apple to suppress American innovation.

And simply NOT just to Cover Up their own Screw Up.

On a side note, we hereby predict that Tim Cook will NOT make it to Executive Chairman.

When the AAPL Board finds-out just how much iPhone revenue Apple left on the table over the years because of Tim's screw up, they're NOT gonna be too happy.

Here's a hint, it's north of $113B USD.

We say "north of" (that number) because we stop'd analyzing the issue on April 4, 2023.

The gist, Apple never came close to achieving its TAM.

Also, to us, that speaks volumes about the competency of CNBC.

Three things to announce:

1.) Completing Photosets' Next-Gen Multi View Capture support is our Top Priority.

As a reminder, we're targeting Golf as our first Live Demo to try to curry favor with President Trump.

2.) We've defined what we believe to be an excellent strategy around Apple's Next-Gen Burst mode feature, which we expect Apple to announce in Sept.

For clarity here, it will put Apple on the defensive.

3.) Just our two-cents, but we think SpaceX should have priced their IPO at $67.50/share,
& opened at $75/share.

We believe if they had done that, it would NOT go down in history as a Ponzi Scheme & Con Job.

Which we think it has a very high probability of doing.

And naturally here, because of the "fast entry" (& relaxed requirements) index rule benefit that SpaceX received, & which NO other company has ever received.

As a reminder, & while we have NO evidence to prove our belief, we think President Trump pressured Nasdaq's President to make the change, & did so as a favor to Musk in exchange for his help with the upcoming Midterms.

For clarity here, similar to the recent FIFA Soccer Red Card issue.

📌 News Update: 5 PM (La Jolla-time) Thurs, July 9, 2026

Some good news to report, we've hit our N52B30 performance numbers !

At the crank:

● 247 HP at 6,500 RPM

● 217 lb-ft at 2,750-4,000 RPM

For clarity, it's with our custom Cosmosent tune, MILVs, airbox charcoal filter delete, premium high-flow oiled air filter, & importantly, the stock single-stage intake manifold & the stock exhaust.

It's our 2006 prototype E90 M3 Lite, a year plus in the making !

Here, think Performant Daily Driver.

More specifically, a sports sedan with 6-speed manual transmission, RWD with 3.23 rear gearing, 3,300 lb curb weight, 50/50 weight distribution, & BMW's highly-prized hydraulic-assist power steering.

We refer to it as "the Tesla killer".

Next up, finalizing our (ML-based) N52B30 Alusil cylinder wall Reconditioning Service.

Also for clarity, we're still waiting on our Bulk Order of Genuine BMW pistons rings for the N52B30 to ship.
