Preview release of the new Google https://t.co/jPTjNRdqHg Generator framework and Maven plugin. Makes assertions rather lovely :) especially large domain models where complex patterns can be reused over big code bases. #testing #junit #truthdev #assertj

Meet “Roadrunner,” a new 15kg (33 lb) bipedal wheeled robot prototype featuring multi-modal locomotion: side-by-side and inline wheel modes and and stepping. Its symmetric legs articulate at the knee for obstacle avoidance.

Quadcopters dominate today because they’re cheap, simple, and disposable

But physics hasn’t changed

Electric helicopter style UAVs are far more efficient, carry more, and go farther

As autonomy improves and cost comes down, we’ll see them play a much bigger role in warfare🤝

🚨🇮🇷 BREAKING: Iran just made the one threat that could bring the Gulf to its knees

Iran's military headquarters warned that if its energy infrastructure is attacked, all energy, IT, and desalination facilities belonging to the U.S. and its allies in the region will be targeted.

Desalination.

That's the word that matters most here.

Gulf nations get most of their drinking water from desalination plants.

One report estimated that hitting Saudi Arabia's Jubail plant alone would force the evacuation of Riyadh's 8.5 million residents within a week.

Trump just gave Iran 48 hours to open Hormuz or he starts destroying power plants.

Iran just responded by putting a target on the one thing Gulf nations can't survive without: clean water.

Introducing DeepSeek R1:1.5b Running Locally in Cursor!

In less than 4 minutes, I set up the DeepSeek R1:1.5b model, download it, and run it locally to seamlessly work with code in Cursor

The video is shown in real-time, with the model impressively running on an Intel Core i5 😱 using Ollama and the CodeGPT extension 👇

deepseek r1 has an existential crisis.

@soulver significant figure rounding would be cool:
1M/3k with 2sf = 330
