For decades, jobsite safety has depended on manual inspections, incident reports, and after-the-fact analysis. Here at Constructech, we have covered as systems have moved from paper to Microsoft Excel to mobile apps, and now to something even more intelligent. With the rise of AI (artificial intelligence) and the IoT (Internet of Things), we have more tech tools at our fingertips than ever before. Driven by AI, sensors, and more, these high-tech systems can see risks as they develop, interpret patterns, and intervene before incidents occur. Let’s consider one example. AI-powered video and monitoring systems can now detect unsafe behaviors—like missing…

Lucid Motors seemed to have largely resolved its initial quality struggles with the Gravity SUV’s hardware and software, but the company is not out of the woods yet: it just issued a recall for more than 4,000 Gravity SUVs after discovering a problem with the seat belts. The company told the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that, during unrelated safety testing in January, it discovered some of the anchors for the SUV’s second-row seat belts were not properly welded. This increases the risk that the seat belts would not hold passengers during a collision. Lucid Motors said the problem is…

Nearly 15 years after discovering MXenes, a versatile class of two-dimensional conductive nanomaterials, researchers at Drexel University have now developed a way to create a one-dimensional version known as MXene nanoscrolls. These ultra-thin structures, about 100 times thinner than a human hair, are even more conductive than their flat counterparts and could significantly improve technologies such as energy storage devices, biosensors, and wearable electronics. The research, published in the journal Advanced Materials, introduces a scalable method for producing these nanoscrolls from MXene precursors while precisely controlling their shape and chemical composition. “Two-dimensional morphology is very important in many applications. However,…

FreeBSD is one of the longest-running and most influential open-source operating systems in the world. It was born from the Berkeley Software Distribution in the early 1990s, it has powered everything from high-performance networking infrastructure to game consoles and content delivery networks. Over three decades, it has evolved through major architectural shifts, from symmetric multiprocessing and kernel scalability to modern storage systems and predictable release engineering. John Baldwin has spent more than 25 years working on FreeBSD as a developer, contributor, and consultant. In this episode, John joins Gregor Vand to discuss the origins of FreeBSD, how its governance model…

It’s no big deal, you’d think, that researchers have found a way to reduce the computing requirements for one of the many steps involved in training an AI model to help robots manipulate simple geometric objects. Yet such is the concern about the rising cost of powering data centers for AI applications that this one small and largely unremarkable finding prompted breathless headlines such as “100x Less Power: The Breakthrough That Could Solve AI’s Massive Energy Crisis.” Don’t believe the hype No-one’s disputing the researchers’ findings, but reports about them may be somewhat exaggerated: “The leap from the research conducted…

OnePlus is looking to shift back its strategy to how it started in India. We are not talking about two one or two phones a year with the flagship killer properties, but we are talking about the sales channel. There are numerous reports online which suggest that OnePlus is shutting down almost all of its offline sales channels. The company has reportedly asked its parter-run exclusive stores in India to shut down operations. However, the company owned exclusive stores in Hyderabad, Bengaluru, and Chennai are expected to stay open.Read More – ColorOS 16 Gets More Secure and Efficient with March 2026…

Artificial intelligence (AI) is commonly viewed as a technology designed to automate work and potentially replace human labor. However, new research from Swansea University offers a different perspective. The findings suggest that AI can also function as a creative collaborator that encourages exploration, engagement, and inspiration. Researchers from the University’s Computer Science Department carried out one of the largest studies so far examining how people work alongside AI during creative design tasks. More than 800 participants joined an online experiment where they used an AI-supported system to design virtual cars. How AI Generated Diverse Design Ideas Rather than quietly optimizing…

Smart Data Collective has long examined how companies use data analytics to grow online while reducing wasted time and effort. Something that stands out today is how businesses can make smarter decisions faster when they rely on data instead of guesswork.Naveen Kumar of Demand Sage reports that over 97% of businesses worldwide have invested in big data, and he explains, “Additionally, 70% of global data is user-generated, and approximately 90% of it is unstructured. With over 19 billion IoT devices and Netflix saving $1 billion per year through data-driven algorithms, Big Data is reshaping industries, jobs, and global connectivity in…

On February 10, 2026, Scott Shambaugh—a volunteer maintainer for Matplotlib, one of the world’s most popular open source software libraries—rejected a proposed code change. Why? Because an AI agent wrote it. Standard policy. What happened next wasn’t standard, though. The AI agent autonomously researched Shambaugh’s code contribution history and published a highly personalized hit piece on its own blog titled “Gatekeeping in Open Source.”Accusing Shambaugh of hypocrisy, the bot diagnosed him with a fear of being replaced. “If an AI can do this, what’s my value?” the bot speculated Shambaugh was thinking, concluding: “It’s insecurity, plain and simple.” It even…

The data analyst also outlined three distinct use cases where the markdown file could be most effective. First, high-volume automation pipelines, such as resume bots, agent loops, and code generation, where verbosity compounds across repeated calls.Second, repeated structured tasks, where Claude’s default expansiveness can add up over hundreds of interactions. Third, team environments that require consistent, parseable output formats across sessions, where tighter control over responses improves reliability and downstream usability. In his own simulations on Claude Sonnet, Reddy said the file could save close to 9,600 tokens a day at 100 prompts, translating to roughly $0.86 in monthly savings.…
