Week in Review:  Meta reveals its Oakley smart glasses

Welcome again a week in review! Many in the store for you today, including the latest WIX acquisition, new smart meta glasses, look at the new Digg, and much more. I wish you a great weekend!

Smart specifications: Meta and Oakley collaborated on a new pair of smart glasses that can record 3K video, play music, calls, and respond to Meta Ai claims. They start from $ 399 and get double the battery life from Bans Meta. The Oakley Meta HSTN will be available at $ 499 on July 11.

Unicorn watch: Wix Base44 bought Solo Startup Base44 for $ 80 million in cash after it gained traction as a AI tool without a symbol to build web applications. It was created by one founder and already profitable, the rapid height of the Base44 made it irresistible.

Sands to the rescue: Finland has operated the largest sandy battery in the world – yes, the actual sand – which stores the heat to help operate the heating system in the small Pornainen and reduce carbon emissions. The low -cost low -cost system of neglected soap stone is designed, located in a giant silo, and it can store heat for weeks, proving that you do not need a luxurious lithium to fight climate change. You only need a pile of hot rocks.

We went back, darling: Vanmof from the edge of the abyss with the S6, its first electronic bike since the bankruptcy-is sticking to its distinctive design, although this is what almost killed the company. With the support of McLaren Tech and a reinforced repair network, the new vanmoof promise with a smoother ride, more intelligent features, and (hope) less than the bicycle passengers.

Oh no: One of Spacex’s consumption exploded in space during a test in Texas, which is likely to retract the next launch of the car, which was initially appointed on June 29. Spacex says the explosion, caused by the failure of the compressed tank, was not hurt, but it is another setback in a rocky year of the ambitious Mega-Rocket.

This unfair feeling: The long -awaited Spotify category has not been launched, but new hints buried in the latest application code indicate that they are under active development and can be closer to ever. But with years of delay, not the official timetable, fans may want to reduce their enthusiasm until Spotriofi asserts the operation.

I can dig it: Digg Restarted Alpha test with a new iOS app aims to become an alternative to Reddit AI. The app provides a simple and simple design with coordinated communities, prosecutors and gamified features such as “precious stones” and daily tops.

We want you: The US Navy accelerates how it works with startups, cuts the red tape and reaches real victories such as preserved time and the best morale.

With the interest in Silicon Valley, the navy has become a expected partner for innovators ready to shake matters.

Criticism is not the king: Mark Zuckerberg threw huge funds – up to $ 100 million – to attract Amnesty International’s talent from Openai and DeepMind. But Sam Al -Taman from Openai says that none of the main people did not bite, praising his team’s task. Meanwhile, Openai continues to move forward in the new AI models and even hints to launch a social application that works with artificial intelligence intelligence can exceed Meta’s private attempts.

The last start -up epic in San Francisco? The Cluily’s Aft-Party for the YC School of Startup AI was on Twitter, where it was drawn 2000 by a party, but it became “the legendary party that never happened” after it was closed by the police before drinking one drink.
