Bjørn Karmann created an AI prompt camera called Paragraphica, that can generate a photo using in situ to generate an AI representation of the location of the camera with added context such as weather, time of day, date, and points of interest.
The autonomous drone delivery company Zipline released details of their impressive new delivery platform. A whisper quiet drone with specially designed propellers based on hummingbirds hovers overhead and lowers a shuttlecraft looking storage box that uses its own propeller fans to guide its descent to the ground, where it opens a hatch and delivers your package. Zipline already deliver medical suppliers across Rwanda as part of the 600,000 deliveries they have made so far. Check out the Irish connection at 34:30 in their latest keynote.
Stay SaaSy published a great piece on the mistakes to avoid when structuring software teams, with advice such as defining clear ownership and team member redundancy.
Researchers at MIT demonstrated a multiagent trajectory planner anti-collision system for drones. Each drone calculates and broadcasts its trajectory, which the other drones using to generate their own paths. The updated version of the system accounts for communication delays between the drones also.
