British millionaire Samuel Leeds has announced his commitment to personally fund the legal defense of Christian street preachers who were recently arrested in the UK. The preachers, who were engaged in public evangelism, faced legal challenges that have sparked discussions on freedom of speech and religious expression. Leeds, known for his entrepreneurial ventures, emphasized the importance of supporting individuals who advocate for their faith in public spaces. His pledge comes amid growing concerns over the treatment of religious groups in the country. The legal proceedings are expected to attract significant media attention, as they may set a precedent regarding the rights of street preachers. Leeds has called for public support and awareness surrounding the issue, urging citizens to stand up for religious freedoms. The case is anticipated to unfold in the coming weeks, with implications for similar groups across the UK.

Teams like Jane Street, and the etcd community use Antithesis to ship better code, faster. • @sentry – application monitoring software considered “not bad” by millions of developers. • Google Cloud Run – run untrusted agent code without the security anxiety. Cloud Run sandboxes deliver hyper-isolated, ephemeral execution environments that spin up in milliseconds. Check them out: Here's Addy's advice on where he believes engineers should invest efforts, in the coming years, in his words: “What we are very likely to see happen next with engineering careers (as well as product and other roles) is the unbundling of them, so that an engineer also has product sense, while a product person also has engineering sense, or UX sense. You should think about the non-engineering things if you don’t [usually] have the time to think about product or technical evangelism, or go-to-market approaches, or any other parts of how businesses are successful. If you can show employers that you are not just a builder, but someone that can help them as roles start to become a little bit fuzzier, then I think that you can be successful in these times. Don’t be just an engineer.”

Botnanza's Chief Evangelist @lukas_m_ziegler on the data advantage behind modern robotics: "We all know that this modern software stack for robotics includes a heavy, heavy pipeline of data." "Some companies claim they are not data factories, but in fact they are, and they employ a huge amount of people in China who are collecting that data just to feed the models." "Model equals software to me in that part. We have more capable models in the US, and hopefully very soon in Europe too."

Former Epic Games evangelist Sjoerd De Jong, who has spent more than a decade helping developers use Unreal Engine and worked with it for 27 years, is building his own game engine from scratch. He isn’t trying to replace Unreal Engine or Unity, he just wants to experiment with new ideas and make game development simpler and more flexible. He says today’s engines are more powerful than ever but much more complicated to use. His project explores a different approach and is still in the early stages with no release date.
