An electric hydrofoil ferry that transforms how cities move on water
A 12-knot wake becomes a whisper. Vessev's electric hydrofoil ferry lifts its hull above the water, slashing drag and turning urban waterways into viable commuter routes. This isn't a faster boat; it's a rethink of how cities use their rivers and bays. For those exploring how AI simplifies complex workflows, like the data optimization covered in our piece on trimming API calls, Vessev applies similar logic to physics. Less resistance. More purpose. A smarter way to move.
Nested lookup logic made simple for multi-row pivot table data
Matching business numbers to cities in a pivot table sounds straightforward, until you realize those numbers repeat across locations. A user here needs a formula that checks both the business number *and* the city before pulling the right data. That's nested lookup logic, and it's exactly where traditional spreadsheets start to feel limiting. An AI-native approach can simplify this kind of multi-condition matching, turning a tangled formula into a clear, direct query.
Waymo opens its next-generation robotaxi to all riders in three cities
Waymo's Ojai, the company's next-generation robotaxi, is now open to all riders in three cities, marking a deliberate step toward mass scale and, eventually, profitability. That's a meaningful move for anyone who has felt boxed in by traditional transit options. It's not just about cheaper fares; it's about making autonomous mobility feel like a practical choice, not a novelty. For a deeper look at how AI shapes our tools, our piece on building computer vision models offers useful context.
Tinder brings in-person connections to 26 cities as dating shifts offline
Tinder is betting that Gen Z's dating fatigue can be cured offline. The app's in-person events, tested in Los Angeles, are expanding to 26 cities by the end of September.
