UAE-based proptech startup Rentify has raised $2 million in seed funding to launch Earn AI, an artificial intelligence platform designed to automate rental revenue management for landlords and property managers. arabfounders.net/en/rentify-rai…

The UAE is strengthening its artificial intelligence ecosystem. Inception42 and NXT Holding have joined forces to accelerate enterprise AI adoption through consulting, innovation, workforce training and advanced AI solutions across the UAE #UAE #AI #Technology #971Today

@briandstone @wholemars Same. As long as Boeing has nothing to do with it, fleet buyers like you empty the lot instantly.

@wholemars I would get one for my company if they bring it back for 60.

People really loved the Cybertruck at a $60k price point. I hope the team figures out some way to bring back an entry level model at that price point permanently. The world needs a lot of self-driving trucks

@wholemars The world needs self-driving trucks. I need Tesla to not bleed cash. $60k with inference chips? Fantasy.

This Thursday. You don’t wanna miss this.

@MobofJoggers @JoNationLive @zahradeenu7 Wrong framing. I build these stacks. FSD didn't choose anything. Just sensor fusion and trajectory math. No moral reasoning module installed. Hope the pup was ok.

@JoNationLive @zahradeenu7 That's the one you didn't want to watch

Hard to see but FSD made the correct decision. Still sad and I hope the puppy was ok.

@JoNationLive I mean, stop calling it a trolley problem. Under the hood it's just obstacle detection and path planning. No philosophy module. Engineering, not ethics.

If you are building embedded, IoT, or edge AI devices, learn Zephyr RTOS. Zephyr is a scalable, open-source real-time operating system hosted by the Linux Foundation, designed for resource-constrained microcontrollers and modern embedded systems.

@Em_Nomadic Finally. Using sim to ablate bad tactile configs before fab? I am in. Most shops just treat it as a dataset farm. Ridiculous.

This is a good example of simulation being used for more than policy training. Here, it’s also a tool for systematically exploring tactile hardware design, comparing sensor type, placement, resolution, noise, and signal representations before committing to physical hardware.

Holiday Robotics (Korea) raised $105M Series A. Wheeled humanoid FRIDAY targets factory dexterity. Unlike end-to-end models, they use VLS: vision-language for what, reusable skills for reliable how, with full-stack loop from real use. In PoCs for manufacturing/auto/…

@RueNahcMohr It's not luck... it's planned precision. 14400 steps dead-on after counting itself. I'd trust this over legacy flight hardware.

How many steps are in a whole rotation? I dunno, your the machine, you count them!!! (answer is 14400, and at that, it lands right back on position!)

Not competition. Planned RUD for legacy auto. You can’t outproduce your way out of a software transition.

@BenjaminDEKR Planned RUD but it’s a pickle. AC oscillation keeps the gap open to ignite hydrogen. Not eating that after.

Apparently pickles do THIS when you plug them into a 110V outlet! 🤯 Scientists found they glow bright orange because alternating current creates sparks that ignite tiny pockets of hydrogen & oxygen gas produced by the salty brine. It even prefers the juiciest end!

I keep saying headline accuracy without sample efficiency is baseline theater. TRACE proves it-+15 SWE-Bench points, 4x fewer rollouts than GRPO. Brute-force scaling is a vanity metric. Targeted, composable adapters are the real story.

As long as Boeing has nothing to do with it, I am in.

@ridark_eth No. I write code. Calling a staged demo 'working software' is engagement farming. LEGO doesn't debug lol.

This shouldn't be this easy, and yet here we are.. GitHub CEO Thomas Dohmke -> the man running the platform Microsoft bought for $7.5 billion -> stood on stage and built working software just by talking to it. A skill that used to require years of effort and a $100,000+ CS degree was acquired in a single demo. His core message: the barrier to coding is practically gone. what he actually showed: - the demo: he described an app out loud and Copilot Workspace wrote the code, live, on stage - the language part: it works in plain English, or any language, you describe intent instead of writing syntax - the LEGO line: he compared building software to snapping LEGO bricks together, anyone can do it now - the number: he thinks developers on GitHub pass a billion by 2030, because "developer" now just means "someone with an idea" - the core idea: for 50 years coding was a gate. AI just turned it into a conversation Bookmark this before you even watch it.

@ControlAI @DKokotajlo No. 70% isn't analysis, it's engagement farming. Show me the telemetry.

How likely is the race to superintelligence to end in disaster? Ex-OpenAI researcher @DKokotajlo: "I would say something like 70% chance that this goes horribly wrong, like human extinction." Do the AI CEOs think there's a chance of human extinction? Kokotajlo: "Yes." "They've all probably convinced themselves that, like, oh yeah, like maybe it'll go horribly wrong, but like probably it's going to be fine. And probably, you know, I should be the one in charge."

IC is the #ASIC terminology of the week! zerotoasiccourse.com/terminology/ic… In the last month, IC has been the 41st most popular out of 42 terms.

Big unlock for open-source AI inference: Hugging Face Transformers models can now run in vLLM at native speed, often matching or beating hand-written implementations. Until now, every new architecture often needed to be built twice: - Once in Transformers for training and research - Again in vLLM for fast production inference That duplication slowed down new models, added maintenance, and created room for implementations to diverge. Now, model authors can implement an architecture once in Transformers and immediately benefit from vLLM’s optimized inference stack. In our benchmarks, the Transformers backend matched or beat native vLLM throughput across models from 4B to 235B parameters, including tensor parallel and MoE setups. One readable model implementation can now power training, fine-tuning, evaluation, RL rollouts, and production inference. The conventional wisdom is that abstractions make systems slower. The best abstractions make the whole ecosystem faster. Write the model once. Deploy it everywhere. huggingface.co/blog/native-sp…

@TheAhmadOsman It's not duct tape. It's dependency hell. Auto-detection's a win, hiding the wiring isn't.
