Ukraine has launched a weapons intelligence database, sharing what officials are calling deep technical data on Russian military hardware with allied nations.

It's a signal that GitHub's scale may be working against the very community that built it.
And in an unlikely corner of the venture capital world, Founders Fund is backing a refrigerator-sized robot called Poseidon, designed to kill fish quickly and humanely. The startup behind it, Shinkei, is betting that food supply chains will pay a premium for welfare-conscious seafood processing. It's a reminder that deep tech doesn't always mean software — sometimes it means rethinking something as ancient as a fishing boat.
