A device finishes Autopilot enrollment, hits the desktop - and required apps/policies trickle in over the next several minutes instead of being there already.
Intune Service Release 2609 targets exactly that timing gap. 🧵 #Intune #Autopilot

A drone just mapped an entire cemetery and found 9,940 individual grave headstones on its own in 21 minutes
A 335 megapixel scan gets fused with 134 million lidar points, building a full 3D model of the terrain down to 5cm resolution
An AI model called SAM3 scans the imagery and outlines every single headstone automatically, no human tracing anything by hand
The system converts every detected object straight into CAD vectors, ready to export as a working drawing
Surveyors used to spend weeks manually outlining thousands of objects on a map like this one
This pipeline exported a finished CAD file in 21 minutes

We are reaching level 5 of the digital twin maturity model: virtual to physical convergence & autonomous operations
Now I can pilot my drone through the browser and watch it on the map. But soon: click-to RTS style flying, and then autonomous surveying to update the model

Before Brexit, there were about 300K net migrants a year, mostly from the EU.
After Brexit, immigration shot up to 900K, and EU migration was negative.
It’s amazing how stupid Brexit was from every possible perspective.
Populism is a low IQ movement.

Excited to share our new work R³: 3D Reconstruction via Relative Regression.
Only 372M params (~⅓ of recent 1B-class baselines), trained on 6×48G GPUs, but competitive on streaming reconstruction. Runs at 30+ FPS.

Our custom 3D printing service, Prusa Center, printed this epic LEGO-style knight for Nate from the Internet’s booth at Prague Maker Faire. It was made in the same scale as his giant LEGO castle, which he printed over more than a year on Prusa 3D printers. prusa3d.com/p/prusa-center/

And just like that, the very wealthiest party in the U.K. backed by foreign billionaires is supported by the very poorest members of society who dislike foreigners. You couldn’t make this shit up.

Transparent Globe Project- It’s finally complete!
10 unique interactive 3D globes, each visualizing a completely different global dataset in real time.
From river flows and seismic activity to population density, global inequality, satellite constellations, and even Sonic Nomad roaming the planet with live music.
Every globe is transparent, responsive, and built from scratch to feel alive.

A massively consequential investigation by Alan Rusbridger into GB News: how "one political party in Britain has effectively ended up with its own television station". Raises deep questions about hi-jacking of British media/political culture:

Blaming asylum seekers for homelessness? What about the 720,000 empty homes in England, and the 1,627,450 second homes in England alone.
Blaming asylum seekers for expensive food shops? What about the £3,100,000,000 profit Tesco made last year?
Blaming asylum seekers for expensive energy bills? What about the £438,000,000,000 made by just 20 energy companies in profit?
Blaming immigrants for not getting an NHS appointment? What about the 260,000+ migrant workers keeping the NHS going? And what about the 25% real term cut in NHS funding, think that could do it?
Blaming people on welfare for a lack of money to fund the NHS? What about the £36,000,000,000 tax gap due to avoidance and evasion by the elite?
It's time to realise it's not immigrants, asylum seekers or people on welfare causing you any harm, it's capitalism and the mega rich hoarding all the wealth.

Are you watching the Chinese New Year Gala? The Robot Kungfu show is mind blowing!!!
They just executed a coordinated martial arts routine with spatial precision, rhythm control, and dynamic balance adjustments in real time.
Kung fu, one of China’s most iconic traditional art forms , performed by machines built with cutting-edge AI control systems, advanced actuators, and high-speed feedback loops. Ancient discipline meets algorithmic precision.
Last year, humanoid robots stepped onto the Spring Festival Gala stage for the first time. This year, they held synchronized kung fu stances with balance that would humble half of us after leg day.
And they did it live!!! On the most-watched television event on the planet.
The progress in just one year is magical.
That’s what we call China speed.
What makes it even sweeter is where this happened.
I love how the progress is integrated in culture. In celebration. In a Lunar New Year gala watched by hundreds of millions.
It’s music to my ears.
The robots didn’t look like they were “trying” anymore. They looked like they belonged.
Their joint articulation was smoother.
Their formation timing tighter.
Their balance recovery almost elegant.
Their choreography is expressive.
That’s what happens when AI models improve, control systems get smarter, hardware stabilizes, and iteration cycles compress.
One year in robotics today is not the same as one year ten years ago.
It’s compounding.
If this is what 12 months looks like,
imagine 36.
The Chinese New Year Robot Kungfu Gala is just futuristic.
It was quite the statement!
The future is getting better very, very fast.
It was so beautiful to watch. What do you think?

Ok, this is super cool and a sleeper on @printablescom at the moment. Love the golden spiral constraint technique, the part symmetry, glueless, and modularity of this design. Absolutely BRILLIANT by Anton Gaia! 🥰🌀

I can finally map @NBA player's position from the camera perspective onto the court map
it's still a bit shaky... I'll smooth it out later
it's time to detect shooting motions and mark the shot location!
