In her introductory piece, @sannario_, our latest team member at @Spearhead_Af asks the question: Who gave certain people the right to "observe" and grade African elections?
PostgreSQL can do a lot more than store relational data.
In this article, Aaron shows you how to use it as a cache, job queue, search engine, and pub/sub layer using built-in features.
You’ll also learn when Postgres is enough and where specialized tools still win out.

A drone does not fly because of its propellers. It flies because a flight controller outruns instability.
Gyros measure spin. The controller forms attitude error e and applies
u = Kₚ e + Kᵢ ∫e dt + K_d ė
ESCs turn that signal into four motor thrusts. The same loop that hovers a quadcopter also points satellites and balances robots. Unstable physics becomes a machine once it is wrapped in a differential equation.

📡🤖 A Mini Radar Built with Arduino
One sensor scans the environment.
Arduino measures the distance.
And as the sensor sweeps across different angles, the data transforms into a real-time detection map. ⚡
What looks like a simple project actually involves several important automation concepts working together:
🔹 Sensor data acquisition
🔹 Precise timing and synchronization
🔹 Servo motor control
🔹 Distance measurement
🔹 Real-time data visualization
Every reading matters. Miss a measurement, and the entire radar visualization can change. 🎯
With the help of AI-driven design ideas, this project takes on a more futuristic feel while demonstrating how simple hardware can be turned into an interactive sensing system. ✨
How accurate do you think you could make this tiny radar?

You might think graphs are just something you learned about in math class - but they're everywhere.
Think Google Maps, friend connections on social media, visualizing Git branches, etc.
In this guide, @b_eautifulchaos explains how we use graphs in real-world systems, different types of graphs, how to traverse them, & more.

You can use Arduinos in computer vision projects - and this course will teach you how.
You'll use MediaPipe for face detection, OpenCV for image processing, and other fun tools.
By the end, you'll be able to control an LCD display with facial movements & a robotic arm with computer vision.

You may be familiar with the 2017 paper “Attention Is All You Need”. It changed the direction of modern AI.
In this video, @ania_kubow explains how the Transformer replaced sequential processing with attention, enabling faster training and much greater scale.
You’ll see why this became the foundation for today’s large language models.

This is the story of Mobutu Sese Seko, the brutal dictator installed by the United States of America, defended by France and helped by Belgium to hold the DRC hostage for 3 decades.
My dad has been working at TSMC as an engineer for the last 20 years, and he’s been in semiconductors as a whole for the past 30. A few days ago, he gave me one of the textbooks he’s referenced from when he was working at SK Hynix as a design engineer in the late 90’s.
The book (published in 1997) everything to do with CMOS circuit design and simulation, and what I find interesting is that the fundamental math and physics behind it has not changed in the last 30 years. What really has changed, is the simulation technology behind circuit verification that has evolved in the last 50 years, all the way from when SPICE v1 was released in the 70s, to whatever we have now.
It really does feel cool to be working on the next iteration of a technology that has been around for so long, yet is so difficult to use and develop even now.
I just think semiconductors and simulation is so interesting. I’m really happy that I get to work on this full time with my own startup, with others who also believe in the vision.
Running your own DevOps setup locally is one of the best ways to learn.
In this guide, @irvingpictures shows how to build a homelab using Docker, Kubernetes, and Ansible.
You’ll learn how containers, orchestration, and automation tools work together in a safe environment.

Meet Freesia: She built a VR prototype at 19 years old thanks to our free @mitocw courses.
“I couldn’t find anything else quite like it online,” she says. “It really helped me in terms of understanding how electrical engineering worked in a practical sense, and I just started modding things.”

Rich kids. Terrorism isn't concerned with your economic status. This denigration of the poor needs to stop.
This book covers the most important methods of modern signal and systems analysis. It develops in parallel the methods of analysis for continuous-time and discrete-time signals and systems.
