Mykhailo Fedorov announced the launch of Ukraine’s Army of Robots at IT Arena in Lviv and opened applications for defence-tech companies, engineers, and a CTO/tech lead. The initiative explicitly builds on the Army of Drones launched in 2022, where drones now account for more than 95% of strikes and Ukraine has more than 700 UAV manufacturers. The program shifts Ukrainian defence innovation toward robotisation by funding and scaling battlefield robotics alongside other defence technology projects, aiming to move faster from battlefield needs to deployed systems.
Adrian Cockcroft discussed how performance engineers should move beyond relying on system metrics and percentiles by digging into kernel-level causes and then using new analysis techniques for response-time distributions. He said percentiles like P99 do not work for modern web service latency because a single number cannot show whether there are one or multiple latency peaks. As a result, he used an LLM to automate a custom R tool that identifies and tracks multiple peaks over time instead of collapsing data into averages or a single percentile value.
A tech founder who left law, consulting, and a venture-backed convenience startup after seeing stark homelessness in San Francisco pivoted to building AI tools for social-services workers. In fiscal year 2025, the USDA reported a 10.62 percent national payment error rate tied to improper payments for SNAP. The pivot shifted effort away from optimizing convenience and toward reducing administrative burden, with agencies in a dozen U.S. states cutting it by half.
Sayble launched a real-time AI copilot that listens to sales calls and meetings and provides a next spoken line within about half a second, then generates a recap and follow-up email after the call ends.
