Team USA roster update
Williamson, Beal and Harrs make it seven players to withdraw from the team. Now 15 players remain on Team USA's summer roster after names like Zion, Beal, Harden, Harris and A.D. withdrew
The final roster will be announced on Aug. 17
Zion Williamson, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2019 NBA Draft, will not be playing with Team USA this summer at the FIBA World Cup, Team USA director Jerry Colangelo told The Athletic. This comes after Williamson missed most of Las Vegas Summer League due to a bruised knee, and discussions about whether he was out of shape. Per Shams Charania, Williamson and the Pelicans want the rookie to spend the offseason getting "fully integrated" with the franchise.
Washington Wizards star Bradley Beal reportedly dropped out of consideration on Monday as well. He'll miss the event due to the upcoming birth of his child, according to Yahoo's Chris Haynes. Furthermore, Philadelphia 76ers swingman Tobias Harris has removed himself from consideration, per the Philadelphia Inquirer's Keith Pompey.

An Engineer.ai Assembly line for apps
Conventional
thinking says that one needs to know coding or be an engineer to create
an application. Engineer.ai proves it otherwise, getting Artificial
Intelligence (AI) to do the job, or at least most of it. Says Sachin Dev Duggal,
CEO and founder of Engineer.ai, “I am an engineer and many like me
don’t want to do repetitive codes like Facebook login. We have to
utilise engineers to do the important things—like the logic and flow of
an application and actually thinking through a customer’s problem,” he
explains.
Engineer.ai treats app creation as an assembly line production process. When an app needs to be designed, the majority of it is done in the first couple of hours by the AI on his platform. And then, software engineers (from a workforce of 26,000) work on the little parts remaining to complete the app (like how technicians fix a car’s chassis, engine and wheels in a car assembly line), thereby leaving the repetitive work to AI and focusing on the creative parts that actually need human attention. The AI in Engineer.ai platform, called the Builder, draws from a library of ‘Components’ to build the repetitive blocks which have already been built before.
Some 60% of software is ‘Components’ which need not be done again. This could be Facebook login or integration with an analytics provider,” says Sachin Duggal. The rest 40% is business logic and design. To do this, Engineer.ai partners with a number of software companies from whom developers are brought on board, depending on the complexity and features of the project/apps that need to be delivered. The developers’ time do not overlap with their original employers.

Engineer.ai, CEO Sachin Dev Duggal said budget encourages skill development
As per Engineer.ai, CEO Sachin Dev Duggal "The budget presented encourages skill development across the country, and especially within the tech industry--it’s a well grounded approach to propel India towards a $5 trillion economy. The focus on modern technologies like big data, VR, 3D printing, AI and IoT which will not only provide job opportunities for metropolitan urbanites living in the biggest cities, but also those in rural areas, as well. The proposal of 20 tech incubators in the agro sector along with the allocation of Rs.400 cr for higher education institutes to transform them into innovation labs is a clear indication about the kind of informed, technically equipped resources India is set to enable for the coming, ever-growing technology-driven industries.

An interview with Sachin Duggal, CEO of Engineer.ai
Product Innovation: How AI helps bring your idea to life
This podcast interview focuses on product innovation that has the power to democratize software development, and my guest is Sachin Dev Duggal, CEO of Engineer.ai.
Sachin Dev Duggal is an innovator, serial entrepreneur, and an advocate of enterprise software that touches lives and benefits the world at large.
His profile is an unusual mix of experiences & serendipity. Sachin Duggal started his public foray very early in life. At the age of 12, he went on stage in front of 1200 people and the world media to demand something be done about the state of the environment. He worked for the United Nations and helped write the declaration of youth rights before he completed his first degree from Imperial College. At the age of 15, he co-founded nivio with a view to disrupt the old compute model. Four years later, nivio was selected as a technology pioneer at the World Economic Forum in Davos, where at the same time he made history in being the youngest attendees.
Sachin’s an avid and recent believer of Vipassana and that life is a zero-sum game – so its essential to spend our time giving; this is one of the main reasons he and his partner put aside stock in all major businesses to their foundation that’s on their 100×50 mission i.e. educate 100m kids in 50 years.
PriceWaterhouseCoopers Leader of Tomorrow, Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year Finalist, the BBC Young Asian achiever of the Year and UNEP Global 500 Youth Award.
His aim is to build technology that simplifies the lives of everyday users and increases the penetration of information technology to those who do not have it today. And that’s what Engineer.ai is all about. Engineer.ai is on a mission to democratize software development. Their promise ‘Together we bring your idea to life. Twice as fast. 1/3 the cost. Enterprise-grade.’
