In the construction industry, managers can easily become disconnected from what’s happening on-site. Among the many tasks to juggle are staying apprised of costs, communicating with all stakeholders, and assessing risk related to aspects like contractor billing and performance. Buildots wants to change all of that through AI and computer vision. Founded in 2018 by Roy Danon, Aviv Leibovici and Yakir Sudry, the Chicago startup offers a platform that tracks construction progress by processing im

All Thibault Launay and his wife Simi wanted nearly five years ago was to build a dream home in Portugal, where they both now live. But what they encountered instead was a broken system. “Fourteen months of delays, 20% budget overruns, and endless stress managing over 10 subcontractors,” Thibault recalled. They bought the land in December 2020, got the construction license in early 2022, and started building that year. “That was supposed to finish in February 2024,” he said. But it’s May 2025,

Currently, there are no nuclear power plants scheduled for construction in the US. Everybody with plans to build one hasn't had a reactor design approved, while nobody is planning to use any of the approved designs. This follows a period in which only three new reactors have entered service since 1990. Despite its extremely low carbon footprint, nuclear power appears to be dead in the water. On Friday, the Trump administration issued a series of executive orders intended to revive the US nuclea

In the high desert east of Reno, Nevada, construction crews are flattening the golden foothills of the Virginia Range, laying the foundations of a data center city. Google, Tract, Switch, EdgeCore, Novva, Vantage, and PowerHouse are all operating, building, or expanding huge facilities nearby. Meanwhile, Microsoft has acquired more than 225 acres of undeveloped property, and Apple is expanding its existing data center just across the Truckee River from the industrial park.

The Finnish government has announced the conversion of its rail network from Russian gauge (1,524 mm) to European standard (1,435 mm). This historic decision reinforces its integration with the European Union and NATO. The change, presented by Transport Minister Lulu Ranne at a meeting of Nordic ministers in Helsinki, is in response to the need to improve military mobility and regional security, especially in the wake of Finland’s NATO membership and growing tensions with Russia.

A Python implementation of David Deutsch’s Constructor Theory framework, exposing key concepts—from simple Tasks and branching substrates to quantum-gravity and electromagnetism—entirely in code. Includes a “universal constructor” that can bootstrap itself from a list of Tasks, demonstrating self-replication and the power of Constructor Theory. “A demonstration of how constructor theory could be explored in code, not a high-precision physics engine.

C++ pop quiz time: what are the values of a.a and b.b on the last line in main of this program? #include <iostream> struct foo { foo () = default ; int a ; }; struct bar { bar (); int b ; }; bar :: bar () = default ; int main () { foo a {}; bar b {}; std :: cout << a . a << ' ' << b . b ; } The answer is that a.a is 0 and b.b is indeterminate, so reading it is undefined behaviour. Why? Because initialization in C++ is bonkers. Default-, value-, and zero-initialization Before we get into the

A Starbucks location in South Texas opening soon is believed to be the first 3D-printed location for the franchise. The Brownsville Texas, store, located about 20 miles from SpaceX's Starbase launch site, is made of 3D-printed concrete and will be a walk-up/drive-thru only store. Reports place its cost at under $2 million for about 1,400 square feet of espresso-pouring retail space. Instagram posts from local outlets have shown images of the site's construction for the last few months. Accordi

The big picture: The U.S. and many Western markets are simply not as efficient as Taiwan in building semiconductor fabrication (fab) operations. According to reports, 18 new fab construction projects are planned for 2025 alone, making it crucial to address these challenges.
