A year after AFC-M23 rebels took over Bukavu city, capital of South Kivu, eastern Congo, the change is noticeable. Crowding gone, streets garbage-free. With up 2million population, the city borders Rusizi district, Rwanda.
Our mission is to make it easy for anyone to deploy a robot to help them in the real world
We wrote an intuitive guide to understanding modern robotics, catered toward an audience that understands technology but not AI robotics
We hope that this short blog post embeds in you the core principles that will bring further curiosity.

One professor at the University of Bonn quietly put his entire robotics curriculum on YouTube: SLAM. Sensor fusion. State estimation. Probabilistic robotics. Self-driving cars. Motion planning. Photogrammetry.
Cyrill Stachniss has been uploading full university lectures for years!
Each topic is a complete playlist; the kind of material that normally costs a semester of tuition.
He's one of the most cited researchers in mobile robotics and mapping. His students go on to build the navigation stacks powering real autonomous systems.
If you're serious about understanding how robots know where they are... this is the place to start.
Free. On YouTube.

Congratulations! Some time ago, i shared this video with my daughter and told her, "When you grow up, strive to be like @Umurung_i."
Your intelligence, humility, and strong team spirit have always stood out. I am confident that, together with the dedicated team at @RSSB_Rwanda, you will help move the institution from good to great. Wishing you every success in your new role as Deputy CEO. May this new chapter bring even greater impact and achievements to the Nation.

"Introduction to Applied Linear Algebra" from Stanford University is one of the best free introductions to applied linear algebra I have come across.
This resource develops vectors, matrices, and least squares from first principles, connecting them to data fitting, machine learning, optimisation, image processing and control systems.
It is a resource I would recommend to students, engineers, and anyone interested in understanding the mathematical foundations of modern data science.

Stanford just uploaded a video from Language Models to Native Multimodal Intelligence. Presented by Victoria Lin from Thinking Machines.
This seminar covers:
• The evolution from language models to native multimodal systems
• Focus on the architectural and training principles that transfer from the LLM paradigm
• Challenges introduced by multimodal learning
• The building blocks of modern multimodal LLMs, including modality representations, autoregressive modeling, and reasoning capabilities inherited from strong language models
• Emerging directions in multimodal architecture design, including sparsity and modality specialization
It appears “Phakelumthakathi” knows something the former Statistician-General of South Africa doesn’t.
Nkepile Mabuse: What will the economy look like if, hypothetically, undocumented migrants would leave?
Dr Pali Lehohla: It’s not going to change. Business is White, it will continue to dominate, and Blacks will wake up to a disillusion—as disillusioned people—that “we thought they are gone, we will survive”.
We have to deal with the economic policies that will make South Africa the engine.
This sentence by Van Gogh hits hard:
“If I am worth anything later, I am worth something now. For wheat is wheat, even if people think it is a grass in the beginning.”
AN MIT RESEARCHER PROVED GIT ISN'T HARD BECAUSE YOU'RE BAD AT IT -- IT'S HARD BECAUSE IT WAS DESIGNED THAT WAY
27 minutes from a PhD researcher in MIT's Software Design Group, using actual design theory to show why the tool that confuses everyone confuses everyone for a reason.
-> The moment it lands, years of feeling stupid evaporate. The gap between what git's commands say and what they actually do was never in your head. It's baked into the tool.
He maps the difference between what you think a command does and what git really does underneath. Once you see that gap, the confusion finally has a name and it stops being yours to carry.
Struggling with git was never a skills issue -> it's a design issue, and knowing where the model lies to you is what turns panic into control. And as AI agents fire off commits and rebases you didn't write, the person who understands where git misleads is the one who untangles the mess.
You were never bad at git. You were just never shown where it was built to trip you.
