Theker just raised $85 million to build a factory robot that specializes in nothing

🔥 Read this awesome post from TechCrunch 📖 📂 **Category**: AI,Robotics,Startups,Automation,theker ✅ **What You’ll Learn**: Human beings are not quite ready to replace factory workers, but industry cannot wait. Faced with labor shortages, manufacturers have shown increasing interest in startups that promise faster automation without the usual trade-offs. That's the bet behind Theker, an AI robotics startup that aims to go beyond robots trained to do a single task. “If you always have to put the same cookie in the same box, that works perfectly, but most processes don't,” Carla Gomez Cano, co-founder of TechCrunch, told TechCrunch. Theker is designed…

If You are Asking for Human Attention, Demonstrate Human Effort

🔥 Check out this trending post from Hacker News 📖 📂 **Category**: 📌 **What You’ll Learn**: An ever-increasing volume of debug investigations, document writing, and code is written by robots. This has created a new etiquette question when working with a team - when is it OK to forward the output of an AI to another human to read? On one hand, an AI with robust integration to internal code bases and documentation often produces genuinely useful output. On the other, as an increasing amount of a software engineer's day is spent reading AI text, a fatigue sets in. If…

Biological Evolution and Information Acquisition

🔥 Discover this insightful post from Hacker News 📖 📂 **Category**: ✅ **What You’ll Learn**: A few weeks ago we looked at a simulation of technological evolution by economist Brian Arthur, in which he was able to start with simple building blocks (such as a NAND gate) and evolve surprisingly complex circuits (such as a 12-way AND gate or a 4-bit adder) by randomly combining increasingly useful existing components. We analyzed this as a way of simplifying a search problem: by using existing, working components as modules that can be combined, a few at a time, into more complex modules,…

Quantum Space’s military SPAC is trying to catch the SpaceX IPO wave

🔥 Explore this trending post from TechCrunch 📖 📂 **Category**: Space,Startups,quantum space,SPAC 💡 **What You’ll Learn**: Quantum Space, a startup with plans to build highly maneuverable spacecraft for the U.S. military, has announced plans to go public through a $1.2 billion merger with a publicly traded special purpose acquisition company, or SPAC. In the season of massive IPOs, there's something almost strange about SPACs — in 2021, the drive-thru fad began in the space sector and spread throughout the tech world. Many SPACs have proven disastrous for retail investors who bet on immature companies, but some deals, notably Rocket Lab…

SpaceX SPV investors won’t know their true holdings until post-IPO lockups are lifted

🚀 Discover this awesome post from TechCrunch 📖 📂 **Category**: AI,Space,IPO,secondary shares,SpaceX,SPV 📌 **What You’ll Learn**: SpaceX will go public for the first time on Friday, and some investors who backed the company through special purpose vehicles (SPVs) still don't know how many shares they'll be entitled to or whether they'll get any shares at all. Investing through SPACs, where multiple parties pool their money to invest in a single company, has been around for a while. But SpaceX represents an unprecedented case of an IPO with multiple layers of these vehicles. Because demand for SpaceX allocations has been so…

Why I’m Forced to Say Farewell: Google Management Has Lost Its Moral Compass

🔥 Discover this awesome post from Hacker News 📖 📂 **Category**: 📌 **What You’ll Learn**: When Google offered me the job of Director of Android Platform Security in 2017, it was impossible to refuse. Yes, Trump was already president—my family and I had qualms—but he seemed contained, even ineffective. More importantly, Google was a different company 9 years ago. Android was open source first and had just surpassed 2 billion users. I’d been studying its security from the outside since 2009, and it was (and still is!) the most exciting end-user facing operating system to work on. However, while the…

I stopped tracking my time. Now I can’t focus.

🚀 Explore this must-read post from Hacker News 📖 📂 **Category**: ✅ **What You’ll Learn**: One of the most freeing things I’ve ever done in my business is to stop tracking time.I used to religiously track where I spent my time when on my computer. Client work in one bucket, personal branding in another, and side projects/adventures in a third. Inside of those, I would then categorize which engagement/project I was working on.At the end of the year, it was awesome! I had this huge breakdown of where all of my time went.
