It brings some pretty modest upgrades to the S7. For example, it brings back ReactiveAI and the Stereo Camera that we absolutely loved in the S6 MaxV from 2020. However, ReactiveAI has been upgraded, and can now identify even more objects a bit more reliably. On top of that, it can now build a 3D map, identifying furniture as well. While that sounds like a gimmick, it does help the S7 MaxV learn where different pieces of furniture are, so you can use the Google Assistant to tell it to clean in front of the couch, or in front of the fridge in the kitchen....

If you’d told me when I first arrived in New York City, to start working in network news, that I’d be using meditation to defang the voice in my head—or that I’d ever write a whole book about it—I would have laughed at you.

The reusable K-Cups can also be used here. Which is better for the environment, and can also end up being cheaper....

Clash detection in BIM is one of the most useful tools in good BIM software. It highlights inconsistencies between building models so architects and engineers know what changes to make. However, there’s far more to clash detection. We don’t want to understate how vital this tool is in building design. Why Use Clash Detection? Why Use Clash Detection? Clash detection in BIM is a boon to architects during the planning process....

This is one of the places Ekaterini “Kat” Vlahos takes her students. She teaches architecture at the University of Colorado in Denver, and she believes that instilling in her students a sense of the land, as well as the traditions of the people who settled there, makes for better, more conscious design. First, she asks her students to choose a spot. They sit and sketch for ve minutes. Then they walk the site....
