In the future, I think more industrial automated sites will look like this. Don't be surprised when Fanuc has something out similar to this very soon.

We've designed a custom stratospheric balloon platform weighing just under 10 g. anyone can build and launch one by following the docs stratolink.org

HOLY F*CK, THIS GUY LITERALLY REIMPLEMENTED ALL ADOBE PRODUCTS FROM SCRATCH, FREE AND OPEN SOURCE 🤯
> Photoshop → PhotoCraft
> Illustrator → VectorCraft
> Premiere Pro → FilmCraft
> Lightroom → LightCraft
> Acrobat → PdfCraft
> After Effects → EffectCraft
> InDesign → DesignCraft
Free. Open source. Built in Rust.

Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The apps are free/open-source downloads with no subscription required for core local use (optional paid AI credits are for a separate studio). They are early alpha/development prototypes with limited/buggy features, not complete Adobe reimplementations.

btw this robot runs on a fully open source AI framework called Xiaozhi
it turns a $8 ESP32 chip into a fully autonomous voice assistant
NO expensive cloud servers or high latency
wake-word detection and audio streaming happen locally on the chip:
> requires only an ESP32-S3, a microphone, and a basic speaker
> supports real-time conversational voice interaction
> completely open-source and customizable for any DIY robotics project
anyone can now build a personal AI companion for the price of a cup of coffee.

I've seen enough. Next year, Lake Satoshi 2027 will have a demo of the Scott Labs Bitcoin Wallet + Miner. ColdCard was a company built on absolute bullshit and still got recommended by tons of Bitcoiners. This community isn't as smart as they think they are.
I appreciate @DoorDash for showing the manufacturing processes of developing their drone delivery business.
DoorDash just launched its own drone delivery business.
DoorDash Air turns the company from a delivery app into a full-stack autonomy network, combining human Dashers, sidewalk robots, partners, and now its own drones.
-Received FAA Part 135 air carrier certification
-Becomes the 8th drone operator in the U.S. to earn the certificate
-Building its own American-designed drone inside DoorDash Labs
-Drone deliveries averaged about 25 minutes in 2025
-Some pilot locations saw order volume grow roughly 30%
-More than 20% of DoorDash orders traveled 3 to 5 miles in 2025
-Autonomous Delivery Platform picks the best mode for each order in real time
This is great for consumers.

ANOTHER MASSIVE WIN FOR LOCAL AI 🚀
ICYMI @kyutai_labs quietly dropped a super lightweight Text-to-Speech application designed to run efficiently on CPUs.
Only 100M parameters. No GPU needed. Zero API fees 🤯
It completely bypasses the usual token-transformer bottlenecks to deliver wildly fast performance:
→ 6x faster than real-time on a Mac
→ ~200ms latency to the first audio chunk
→ Voice cloning from just 5 seconds of audio
→ 6 languages out of the box
Best of all?
It's 100% free and open-source.
MIT licensed and trained exclusively on public data.

I'll always have a special place in my heart for the mad lads that go after the complacent big dogs of industry that greedily siphon off money on jacking up prices rather than producing extra value.
A founder in Mumbai got tired of paying SAP.
So in 2011 he wrote his own ERP.
15 years later, that ERP runs accounting, inventory, HR, payroll, manufacturing, CRM, and projects for thousands of companies.
It is called ERPNext.
It is free. GPL-3.0. 36,178 stars. Pushed today.
The math is the part that feels illegal.
SAP S/4HANA Public Cloud lists at $200 to $300 per Advanced user per month.
NetSuite starts at $999 a month plus $129 to $199 per user.
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central is $80 to $110 per user per month.
A 50-user NetSuite deal lands around $77,400 a year in licenses plus $75k to $125k in implementation.
A 500-user SAP RISE contract sits between $800k and $1.2M a year.
ERPNext does the same modules. Accounting. Inventory. Payroll. Manufacturing. CRM. Projects. Sales. Purchase. Assets.
SAP implementations take 6 to 18 months.
ERPNext is one docker command. Minutes.
Rushabh Mehta started it because he could not afford SAP for his family business. He built it on Frappe, the MIT-licensed Python framework that powers it. 278 contributors. 11,873 forks. v16.25.0 shipped last week.
The whole stack is yours. Self-host it. Fork it. Strip the branding. Ship it to a client.
The ERP every Fortune 500 pays millions for is sitting in a public repo, written by a guy in Mumbai, and you can run it on a $5 VPS tonight.

NEWS: Asimov says its open-source humanoid robot kit, Asimov 1, will cost $15,000 (the same as its manufacturing cost).
It’s shipping this summer as a DIY robot you can build, customize, and teach.
Would you buy one?
