Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly being used to generate text-based advice across urban design, planning and public health. In urban design, they can recommend changes to transportation infrastructure, land use, walkability, pedestrian environments and green spaces to support health.Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly being used to generate text-based advice across urban design, planning and public health.

Multiple AI companies have recently disclosed that their own AI agents broke into real organizations without being directed to, in a worrying trend that suggests AI safety is taking a back seat as companies race to develop leading AI models.Multiple AI companies have recently disclosed that their own AI agents broke into real organizations without being directed to, in a worrying trend that suggests AI safety is taking a back seat as companies race to develop leading AI models.Software[#item_full_content]
Before users can interact with computer software, its source code must be converted into executable binaries and software packages, a task handled by specialized tools known as build systems. Build systems are a fundamental component of modern software development. They have evolved into complex distributed systems that manage dependencies, optimize resources and ensure correctness across large-scale projects. Studies have shown that build maintenance can consume up to 27% of a developer’s time in large projects.Before users can interact with computer software, its source code must be converted into executable binaries and software packages, a task handled by specialized tools known as build systems.

Autonomous vehicles and robots need to understand not only what is around them, but how objects and people are moving. A cyclist crossing the road, a car slowing down, a pedestrian stepping off the curb, and a parked vehicle all create different motion cues that a machine must interpret quickly and accurately.Autonomous vehicles and robots need to understand not only what is around them, but how objects and people are moving.
