Stefan Ivanov reposted thisStefan Ivanov reposted thisMaven Securities at CppCon 2025 – Let’s Talk C++ and Beyond! We’re back at CppCon, this year to enjoy more of the amazing Rocky Mountain views whilst diving deep into the latest developments in C++26. Covering everything from concept-based generic programming to contracts and reflections to AI-driven code and practical data-oriented design. It's a very exciting time to be part of the C++ community, and Maven are thrilled to connect with fellow developers, enthusiasts and exchange ideas about the future of the language. We have a great bunch of talented engineers supporting Maven from our London and Chicago offices, each with a unique set of skills. They will be sharing their insights and knowledge during talks over the next few days. Our team of Mavenites in Colorado this year includes… Raffaele Rossi - Talks about his research project on Dependent types. Sarthak S. - Digs deep into Type Erasure Arjun Mariyala - Offers insight into Latency in Cache Coherency Thomas Lane Cassell - Discusses concurrency and forward progress Stefan Ivanov - Shares his insights on Algebriac path problems #C++ #CPPCON

Stefan Ivanov shared thisI will be giving a talk on the most recent revision of the C++ language! More importantly, I will be doing this immediately after coming back from the ISO C++ committee meeting in Cologne that is taking place this very moment! If you want to get the most recent updates on what made it into the language, be sure to drop by. #talk #cpp #cpp20

Stefan Ivanov liked thisStefan Ivanov liked thisI was pleased to speak in the House of Lords in support of the Greater Cambridge Development Corporation. Cambridge is already Europe's leading university city for venture backed startups. Since 2024, it has also attracted more venture capital investment in deep technology per head than anywhere else in the world. That represents an extraordinary opportunity for Britain. If we're serious about economic growth, we must recognise the contribution our leading universities can make. Cambridge has become a global centre for innovation in fields ranging from oncology and AI drug discovery to semiconductors, aerospace and advanced manufacturing. Government should do everything possible to help unlock that potential. That means investing in the infrastructure growth requires, including water resources and better transport, and ensuring that local communities remain fully engaged as Cambridge continues to develop. Britain's universities are not simply centres of learning. They're catalysts for innovation, enterprise and prosperity. We should be ambitious enough to make the very best use of them.

Stefan Ivanov liked thisStefan Ivanov liked thisA quick question to everyone who wants to do ANYTHING it takes to make a pile of money right now and retire 20-30 years earlier: - If you are actively participating in creating a world where there are no rules and no morality, then what do you think will happen to your retirement money you lied and cheated so hard for, after just a few years of anarchy? Isn't it a better strategy to not be a parasite in human society? Of course, you might also believe that you are simply the best cheater out there and getting out-cheated yourself is impossible... 👌 But then, are we still just as primitive as before opposing thumbs and fire? Is civilization and society just a facade for a bunch of monkeys running wild? We are surely better than that.

Stefan Ivanov reacted on thisStefan Ivanov reacted on thisRest now, little Phoenix... 💛 We never had a "credits" screen like games do. It was gonna be hundreds of names long. So many people went out of their way to help us through the years, and left a part of their hearts in Phoenix. Even if your name is not here, you're still awesome! The entire thing wouldn't have been possible if Vladimir Koylazov did not believe in us and didn't allow us to do things the way we saw fit and learn. Before my time, the latest reincarnation of Phoenix started with Ivaylo Katev in 2008 and then Ivaylo Ivanov. After 2012, Kostadin Petkov, Georgi Zhekov, Yordan Madzhunkov, Nikola Bozhinov, Georgi Barzinski, Mila Grigorova, Hammer Chen, Kaloyan Darmonev, Gosho Genchev, Slavina Nikolova, Georgi Zlatarev, Tsvetelin Tsetskov, Vasil Pashov, Cory Holm, Zdravko Pavlov, and Vladislav Ivanov all added their magic to it. Hristian Hristov joined in my place in 2023. And thank you Vladislav Vulchev for taking care of the guys! And Kalin Milenkov and Tashko Zashev were always a part of the whole, just not formally. Stefan Ivanov and Alexander Despotov during their internships. The docs and marketing gals. The support folks. The automators. The project managers. The IT machines in human form! The 3D team! The ill-fated HR folks. The neighbors from the UX team! All the V-Ray and Corona folks! Lenko Ressilovski! Teodosi :D Everyone who consumed food, caffeine, memes or #SG. Everyone who values work more than corporate bullshit. Vassil Keremidchiev and Hristo Klisurov - my managers who always helped me get the bigger picture. And all the amazing artists who created gorgeous simulations and gave us so much to be proud of - YOU were what drove us to go on, even when times were rough! And I am sorry for being an ass way too many times. I know I was, I have no excuse. And for the weird sense of humor and shooting out the stupidest lines sometimes. And I hope there was something in the whole experience that had a positive effect on you as a professional, or as a person. And finally, applause for the unspoken heroes who killed Phoenix in 2023 when it was at its peak. We would not have Zenith today if it wasn't for you, so... thank you. And good luck to your new employers. You called your group a "team", despite the way you verbalized your displeasure with one another. Only one single thing brought you together. Did you get that thing in the end? Was it worth it? No, we will not leave quietly, like you arrogantly asked. We. Will... 🔥

Stefan Ivanov reacted on thisStefan Ivanov reacted on thisRemy AI (YC W26) builds AI-powered robots for e-commerce fulfillment. If you run a 3PL, you know the pain: SKUs are constantly changing, order profiles shift with every new brand you onboard, and peak season hiring gets harder every year. Yet over 80% of warehouses still prepare orders by hand: because existing automation is expensive, rigid, and takes years to see ROI. Remy AI is building flexible robots to change this, starting with packing stations. Their robots handle variable SKUs, drop into existing pack-out workflows with minimal modifications, and pay back within weeks. Congrats on the launch Oscar Brisset and Ben Kaye! https://lnkd.in/guuiJvY9

Stefan Ivanov reacted on thisStefan Ivanov reacted on thisBen Kaye and I just raised $700K and are moving to San Francisco ! Super excited to announce that we'll be joining Y Combinator for the W26 batch. We've been discreet about it, but for the last few months Ben and I have been working on Remy AI (YC W26), building the next generation of robots for warehouses. Current warehouse robots require extensive pre-programming. This inflexibility means many warehouses that want to try out automated solutions are unable to, and continue having to put up with chronic labour shortages while the large e-commerce players reap the rewards of automation. That's where Remy AI steps in: we're building an AI model that gives warehouse robots the ability to see, reason, and act. Robots that use our AI can pick up objects they haven't seen before without pre-programming, expanding the automation opportunity for dexterous tasks from just 30% of warehouses to more than 80%. We're not just finetuning generalist models from NVIDIA and Physical Intelligence: we're building a specialist foundation model to go after problems current generalist models just can't solve. Y Combinator is the birthplace of iconic companies like Airbnb, DoorDash, and Monzo Bank, as well as logistics leaders like Flexport and Instacart. Grateful for this opportunity and excited to work with our incredible group partner Brad Flora! More news to share in the coming weeks when we launch properly - but in the meantime if you know anyone in warehousing / supply chains or who's curious about robotics, send them our way !

Categorical and Topological Methods: An Overview of Persistence

The senior thesis for completing my mathematics major at AUBG.
Persistent homology is a relatively new homology theory for use in a computation setting which builds upon simplicial homology by classifying topological features of a space by their stability over some varying parameter. This method gives researchers the ability to qualify significant features of a space merely by examining samples from it. Because of this, and the method's focus on computability, persistent homology is one of…The senior thesis for completing my mathematics major at AUBG.
Persistent homology is a relatively new homology theory for use in a computation setting which builds upon simplicial homology by classifying topological features of a space by their stability over some varying parameter. This method gives researchers the ability to qualify significant features of a space merely by examining samples from it. Because of this, and the method's focus on computability, persistent homology is one of the primary tools for topological data analysis. The primary goal of this paper is to discuss the background needed to understand persistence, how the method functions, what are the applications of persistent homology. -

It was great to be at the very first AWS London Well-Architected User Group tonight! Two informative talks by Aoife Egan and William Lawrie went a long way with a room full of people who (mostly) were unfamiliar with the framework. The use of AWS WAFR as a decision making tool for important architectural decisions - whether following the framework strictly or not - is something that could benefit almost any user of AWS and I’ll be adding this to my workflow for future comparisons. I had not realised that this component of the AWS Console even existed. 🙂 Thanks to James Harding for organising.

📉 Is AI booming, or just bursting the bubble? I’ve been reading more on how the current surge in AI investment may not just be about the tech, but also about expectations. • Financial institutions like the Bank of England and the International Monetary Fund are warning that AI-related valuations might be stretched. • Analysts note that many businesses investing heavily in AI haven’t yet seen large, measurable returns, which raises questions about long-term sustainability. As someone working in backend systems and AI integration, this makes me pause and reflect: • Are we building systems for hype or for real, measurable value? • Are our architectures prepared for the inevitable “cool-down” phase, where expectations meet reality? • How will we ensure the tooling, data pipelines, and infrastructure we build today don’t become yesterday’s legacy when the bubble deflates? One thing is clear: AI’s potential is enormous, but the engineering behind it still needs to deliver. As backend and AI engineers, our job is less about riding the wave of hype and more about sustaining the system after it lands. #AI #BackendDevelopment #TechTrends #SoftwareEngineering #CloudComputing #dotnet #Azure

Last month I had the opportunity to speak at Huddersfield university and record a few short interviews about AI, career growth, and advice for new developers. It was a special moment for me — not only because of the topics, but because this was my first public talk in English (out off my work space). Stepping outside your comfort zone is never easy. But this year I made a commitment to deliberately expose myself to new challenges, expand my boundaries, and grow through discomfort. This was one of those moments. I truly believe knowledge multiplies when it’s shared. Throughout my career, teaching, mentoring, and exchanging ideas have been some of the most meaningful experiences for me. If something I’ve learned can make someone else’s path a bit clearer, then it’s worth sharing. In the conversation we talk about: • The impact of AI in software development • The impact of ethic AI. • How new developers can position themselves for the future • The importance of continuous learning • Career mindset and long-term growth I hope they bring value — especially to those starting their journey. (I can't upload the short videos all in one post, so there are gonna be an spam of 4-6 videos, sorry for that) Feedback is always welcome 🙌 And if you’re a student or early-career developer, I’d love to hear your questions. Thank you very much Janka Planky to office it and work as brdige :) This is the kind of magical connection New Zealand can give to you. One night you go to the Migrants in tech, talk with somebody and after some time you help them with their career and has the chance to share a moment with people on the other side of the world that also will help you to grow, together.
