The model is likely a response to slipping F-150 Lightning sales and was designed based on customer feedback, the company said. It will replace the current XLT model at the same starting price.

2025 Innovator of the Year: Sneha Goenka for developing an ultra-fast sequencing technology

technologyreview.com Helen Thomson 2025-10-14 01:30:00

Goenka saw a better way: Build a real-time system that could “stream” the sequencing data, analyzing it as it was being generated, like streaming a film on Netflix rather than downloading it to watch later. To do this, she designed a cloud computing architecture to pull in more processing power. Goenka’s first challenge was to increase the speed at which her team could upload the raw data for processing, by streamlining the requests between the sequencer and the cloud to avoid unnecessary “chat

Look Out For Bugs One of my biggest mid-career shifts in how I write code was internalizing the idea from this post: Don’t Write Bugs Historically, I approached coding with an iteration-focused mindset — you write a draft version of a program, you set up some kind of a test to verify that it does what you want it to do, and then you just quickly iterate on your draft until the result passes all the checks. This was a great approach when I was only learning to code, as it allowed me to iterate
