Uber is trying drone delivery again

techcrunch.com Sean O'Kane 2025-09-19 18:57:17

In Brief Uber will test using drones for Uber Eats deliveries in some U.S. markets by the end of this year, part of a new partnership with Israeli startup Flytrex. The partnership will also include a small investment in Flytrex, though Uber told Bloomberg News the investment amount was not material. The deal comes at a time when Uber has been re-engaging with some technologies that it used to develop in-house. Uber has been partnering with autonomous vehicle companies like Waymo to offer self-

Uber will (once again) test delivering food by drone this year

engadget.com Unknown 2025-09-20 14:00:17

Uber Eats is testing out drone deliveries yet again, this time in partnership with Flytrex. To note, Flytrex is one of the drone operators behind Walmart's drone deliveries and already delivers food in some parts of the US. It's one of the four providers that received authorization by the FAA for Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) operations, in which pilots can't see the aircraft they're controlling directly. The partnership, the companies said, will enable Uber Eats customers to receive order

Real-Time Voice Cloning This repository is an implementation of Transfer Learning from Speaker Verification to Multispeaker Text-To-Speech Synthesis (SV2TTS) with a vocoder that works in real-time. This was my master's thesis. SV2TTS is a deep learning framework in three stages. In the first stage, one creates a digital representation of a voice from a few seconds of audio. In the second and third stages, this representation is used as reference to generate speech given arbitrary text. Video

How Ruby executes JIT code

Ever since YJIT’s introduction, I’ve felt simultaneously close to and distant from Ruby’s JIT compiler. I know how to enable it in my Ruby programs. I know it makes my Ruby programs run faster by compiling some of them into machine code. But my understanding around YJIT, or JIT compilers in Ruby in general, seems to end here. A few months ago, my colleague Max Bernstein wrote ZJIT has been merged into Ruby to explain how ZJIT compiles Ruby’s bytecode to HIR, LIR, and then to native code. It she

Python has had async for 10 years – why isn't it more popular?

The Python Documentary dropped this morning. In the middle of the documentary, there’s a dramatic segment about how the transition from Python 2 to 3 divided the community (spoiler alert: it didn’t in the end). The early versions of Python 3 (3.0-3.4) were mostly focused on stability and offering pathways for users moving from 2.7. Along came 3.5 in 2015 with a new feature: async and await keywords for executing coroutines. Ten years and nine releases later, Python 3.14 is weeks away. Whilst

Learn Python loops the fun way by rolling dice, casting fireballs, and finally understanding what continue really does.

One die roll at a time was cool… but any tabletop nerd knows the real action starts when you need to roll lots of dice. 3d6 for ability scores. 8d6 for a fireball spell.
