Shield AI has emerged as a lead contender in the increasingly crowded race against competitors like Anduril and AeroVironment
to outfit the U.S. military with killer drones.
The $5 billion-valued startup, founded in 2015 by brothers Ryan and Brandon Tseng,
sells a suite of hardware and products, including autonomous piloting software that has been used to fly fighter jets.
In March, it raised $240 million in a funding round led by Korean conglomerate Hanwha and Amer…

How A Grisly Injury Threw $5 Billion Drone Startup Shield AI Off Course
Shield AI executives overlooked its V-BAT drone’s safety hazards. With sales falling short and the CEO stepping down, the company is trying to win back military customers.

Qumat: Apache Mahout Quantum Compute
Following Mahout's core values of interoperability and providing tools for matrix arithmetic at scale, we have added a new layer (qumat) alongside our existing distributed matrix math framework (Samsara), that allows quantum researchers and developers to write code once and run it on any back-end available. As with distributed compute systems like Spark and Flink, moving from one platform to another typically requires a complete code rewrite. This is prohibitive in most cases, but Samsara allow…

Flying choir boy vibes tbh #BloomScrolling #CaliforniaNatives #SanFranciscoHellscape

Close up photo of a Romneya coulteri blossom looking like a choir boy who’s about to take flight. The flower is large, floppy, and has 3 or 4 large white petals, with an orange yellow fuzzy ball in the centre that looks like the choir boy’s head. Behind the flower many other Romneya stalks are visible, many with unopened flower buds and/or opened blossoms on them.

Player the #oblivionremastered version yesterday for a few hours. It brought back soo many great memories of how I setup a room with my brother all those years ago with a Xbox and a beamer to play the game for many hours.
Everything looked so amazing back then and the remaster does well at transporting a similar feeling. Though the game world is sometimes a bit bare when one looks …

Turns out life doesn’t just imitate art
— sometimes it borrows the script, reboots it with National Guard checkpoints and streams it live from Los Angeles.
Case in point:
A Day Without a Mexican,
the cheeky 2004 sci-fi satire from Mexican filmmakers Sergio Arau and Yareli Arizmendi,
in which California wakes up to find every person of Latino descent has vanished into a mysterious haze,
leaving Angelenos panicking over who’s going to mow the lawns and run …

The Outrageous 20-Year-Old Movie That Predicted Trump’s America
In 2004 ‘A Day Without a Mexican’ was intended to be a political satire. In 2025 it seems all too real. Plus, Joel Grey auctions off his old lederhosen (and some nudes!) TikTok star Khaby Lame demands $1.2 million to talk, and Chet Hanks is a no-show at his book reading.

Full-Gap Superconductivity in BaAs/Ferropnictide Heterostructures
Interfacial interactions often promote the emergence of unusual phenomena in two-dimensional systems, including high-temperature superconductivity. Here, we report the observation of full-gap superconductivity with a maximal spectroscopic temperature up to 26 K in a BaAs monolayer grown on ferropnictide Ba(Fe$_{1-x}$Co$_x$)$_2$As$_2$ (abbreviated as BFCA) epitaxial films. The superconducting gap remains robust even when the thickness of underlying BFCA is reduced to the monolayer limit, in cont…
