Launch HN: Rudus (YC P26) – AI for concrete contractors
Hi HN, we’re Rishi and Sahil. We’ve developed Rudus (https://www.rudus.ai/), an AI-powered takeoff and estimation platform built for concrete subcontractors. Takeoff is the process of measuring and quantifying materials from concrete plan sheets.
From Hanging to Standing: Fabric-Formed Catenary Arches as Scalable Concrete Building Components
arXiv:2508.08572v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Concrete is the most widely used construction material globally. Despite its versatility, it is typically poured into stiff, rectilinear formwork that restricts formal exploration and leads to considerable material waste and higher carbon output. Fabric formwork offers an alternative in which flexible textiles shape fresh concrete into structurally efficient geometries such as thin shells and catenary arches.
World Models Meet Language Models: On the Complementarity of Concrete and Abstract Reasoning
arXiv:2606.03603v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: World models and multimodal large language models (MLLMs) provide complementary capabilities for predicting future outcomes from static visual observations. World models can generate concrete visual rollouts of possible futures, while MLLMs can reason abstractly over questions, goals, and rules. However, generated rollouts are stochastic and may be visually plausible but task-incorrect, making it necessary to determine when visual simulation is...
Keychron K2 HE Concrete Edition Review: Rock-Solid Typing
Yes, Keychron made a concrete keyboard. The cause of scraped knees, bike-tire skid marks, and finger-painted signatures is now the foundation of a keyboard. Just where you'd least expect it.
AI from concrete to abstract: demystifying artificial intelligence to the general public
arXiv:2006.04013v6 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been adopted in a wide range of domains. This shows the imperative need to develop means to endow common people with a minimum understanding of what AI means. Combining visual programming and WiSARD weightless artificial neural networks, this article presents a new methodology, AI from concrete to abstract (AIcon2abs), to enable general people (including children) to achieve this goal.
Distillation of Large Language Models via Concrete Score Matching
arXiv:2509.25837v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) deliver remarkable performance but are costly to deploy, motivating knowledge distillation (KD) for efficient inference. Existing KD objectives typically match student and teacher probabilities via softmax, which blurs valuable logit information. While direct logit distillation (DLD) mitigates softmax smoothing, it fails to account for logit shift invariance, thereby restricting the solution space.
Market Rout Puts Pressure on Indonesia to Deliver Concrete Steps
Global investors are increasingly losing confidence in Indonesia on President Prabowo Subianto’s more populist and interventionist agenda.

Over two dozen BEd candidates injured as drain cover collapses outside Kanpur exam centre
Around two dozen candidates appearing for the Uttar Pradesh BEd Joint Entrance Examination fell into a sewage drain after a damaged concrete slab collapsed outside an examination centre in Kanpur on Sunday morning, police said. The incident took place near HN Mishra PG College in MacRobertganj, where candidates had gathered near a photocopy shop before entering the examination centre. According to officials and eyewitnesses, the concrete slab covering the drain gave way under the weight of...
Baltic states fear Russia-Ukraine war spillover after drone incursions
Along the forests and marshlands that separate the Baltic states from Russia and Belarus, workers are digging anti-tank ditches, pouring concrete bunkers and erecting rows of dragon's teeth - jagged concrete obstacles designed to slow and channel advancing armour - to buy precious time in the event of an attack. Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022 reignited old fears in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, where memories of Soviet rule remain close to the surface. In the years since,...
