MICROSOFT’S NEW COPILOT KEY IS THE FIRST BIG CHANGE TO WINDOWS KEYBOARDS IN 30 YEARS

Microsoft partners will start shipping a new Copilot key on a variety of new PCs and laptops. The button will provide quick access to Microsoft's AI-powered Windows Copilot experience. It is the first big change to the Windows PC keyboard layout in nearly three decades. The new Copilot key will replace the menu (or application) key. If Windows Copilot isn't available in the user's country, the button will launch Windows Search instead. It is unclear whether Microsoft plans to allow users to use the key in combination with other keys.

HOW LYFT PROCESSES TERABYTES OF REAL TIME DATA

Lyft transitioned from using Apache Druid to ClickHouse for its sub-second analytics system. The move was driven by several factors, including a steep learning curve and maintenance complexity associated with Druid, cost considerations, and ClickHouse's better alignment with Lyft's infrastructure and engineering expertise. ClickHouse's benefits included simplified infrastructure management, a reduced learning curve for engineers, native data deduplication support, lower costs compared to Druid, and specialized functionalities that made various tasks easier.

GOOGLE WROTE A ‘ROBOT CONSTITUTION’ TO MAKE SURE ITS NEW AI DROIDS WON’T KILL US

The DeepMind robotics team has revealed three new advances that will help robots make faster, better, and safer decisions in the wild. One involves a system for gathering training data with a set of safety-focused prompts instructing the model to avoid choosing tasks that involve humans, animals, sharp objects, and electrical appliances. The others are a neural network architecture designed to make the existing Robotic Transformer RT-2 more accurate and faster and RT-Trajectory, which adds 2D outlines to help robots better perform specific physical tasks.

ELON MUSK: SPACEX NEEDS TO BUILD STARSHIPS AS OFTEN AS BOEING BUILDS 737S

Elon Musk recently made a post on X saying that SpaceX might need to make up to 300 spaceships a year to achieve Mars colonization. Establishing a settlement on Mars will require rocket travel to be nearly as routine as air travel. While SpaceX will be able to reuse Starship and its Super Heavy boosters, the parts that travel into orbit won't be able to be reused as often. Ships often have to orbit the planet several times before they line up with pickup sites, so they might only be able to be used once a day.

TERMINAL SMOOTH SCROLLING

Terminal usually draws lines of text at fixed intervals. When scrolling, the sudden jumps are incompatible with how eyes track motion, making it a blurry mess that's hard to read. This blog post discusses how to implement smooth scrolling in Terminal. While smooth scrolling uses a lot more resources, it makes it possible to easily skim text as it scrolls by. A video demonstrating the difference between normal scrolling and smooth scrolling in Terminal is available in the post.
