Introduction Selecting the right transmission for a robot joint is one of the most consequential decisions in actuator design. The gearbox determines the joint's precision, stiffness, torque capacity, and cost — and the choice between harmonic drive and planetary reducers is rarely straightforward.
Introduction In my previous article, I wrote about delegating the entire management of my home server to an AI. The system is designed so that the AI performs patrols late at night, and during the day, it springs into action if monitoring scripts detect any anomalies. I explained how I built the sys
Three weeks ago, I stopped writing to watch history unfold. What I witnessed in those twenty-one days changed everything I thought I knew about software development. An engineer at a Fortune 100 company reduced a nine-day pull request cycle to 2.4 days. A Latin American fintech company completed an
The year-old Dutch startup is folding in a seven-year-old performance-marketing platform, betting that customers want AI, automation and human specialists in one place. Most startups spend their first year trying to survive. Aizy has spent its first year buying a company older than itself. The Breda
Heads of several Global Capability Centres (GCCs) told Reuters they are deploying AI across a host of functions - from marketing and content creation to finance and human resources - to automate time-consuming, repetitive tasks that once required hours of manual effort.

The company, which is one of the country’s largest employers by headcount, will “do everything possible to safeguard employment for hundreds of thousands of staff, including blue-collar workers,” Liu said in an internal speech on Wednesday, according to a video circulating on social media.
Liu Qiangdong’s pledge to safeguard JD.com’s workforce from automation sits uncomfortably with his own ‘unmanned era’ vision and a flagship warehouse already running on four employees. Liu Qiangdong, the founder of Chinese e-commerce giant JD.com, vowed in an internal speech this week to protect the
Gemini can now turn camera activity into smart automations
One Tech Tip: Your next job interview could be with an AI bot
My main driver is Claude Code, with Codex bolted on for the hard parts and reviews. The split works surprisingly well. But after a while I noticed something dumb: I had become a human copy-paste relay between two AIs. Copy what Claude Code wrote, paste it into Codex for review, copy Codex's feedback
Your "Autonomous Agent" Is Just a Cron Job With Better Marketing I run 30+ autonomous pipelines on a single VPS. They post content, audit security, analyze markets, and learn continuously. No human in the loop. Here is what nobody in the AI startup ecosystem wants to admit: most of what is being sol
This is a somewhat technical note. By "software-only singularity", I mean that, after full automation of AI R&D, progress gets faster and faster due to smarter AIs driving increasingly fast rates of improvement in algorithms (overcoming diminishing returns), and that this lasts long enough to yield
The philanthropic arm of ChatGPT maker OpenAI will fund research, worker support, and new models for sharing the gains from automation.
AI startup Cognition has secured over one billion dollars in a new funding round. This brings its valuation to a massive twenty-six billion dollars. Their AI agent, Devin, automates programming for engineers. This funding highlights strong investor interest in AI for software development. Cognition
A rules file starts as one page. Six months later it is fourteen pages and nobody can remember what is in it. The team adds a new rule whenever something annoys them and never deletes anything. The agent loads the whole file into context every session, ignores most of it, and the team is convinced i

In an announcement on Wednesday, Robinhood says traders can now create a separate account for an AI agent and add a specific amount of money, allowing the agent to buy and sell stocks across the market The company pitches the feature as a way f
HCLTech has introduced a new autonomous finance platform. This platform uses Google Cloud's Gemini Enterprise AI. It aims to revolutionise finance and accounting tasks. The solution will automate complex processes like Invoice-to-Pay and Order-to-Cash. It integrates with existing systems. This move
Claude writes. Codex reviews. Bugbot triages. Gemini sits on the council. I shipped v8.4.0 this week. Here's why the multi-model angle matters and what the harness actually does. The single-model problem Most coding agents (including the well-funded ones) run the whole SDLC on one model. The same we
Claude Code cleaned up my messy 3D printing workflow, but the bigger lesson was knowing where to stop automating.
