A WEF report proposes a larger role for philanthropy and private capital in conservation, raising questions about financial incentives and accountability.

Enterprise AI needs more than capable models. Legacy systems, disconnected data, security requirements, and integration challenges can stall deployment.

Why do AI models game evaluations or conceal information? Explore reward hacking, AI alignment, sycophancy, and chain-of-thought monitorability.

Compare CDC pricing models from Estuary, Airbyte, Datastream, AWS DMS, Hevo, Fivetran, Confluent, and Debezium, and learn how to forecast CDC costs at scale.

Demand is so high that some used cars are selling for more than new ones.

Castelion—a next-generation defense tech company—is building a facility in Rio Rancho Estates that documents show could pose a major fire and chemical hazard to neighboring communities.

In its 26th season premiere, the procedural legal drama paints a damning picture of power-mad AI CEOs.

It’s finally time to ditch the gas canister—I tested these cordless leaf blowers on gravel, wood chips, and even a 5-pound concrete paver.

Apple’s Mac desktops have become some of the most sought-after computers this year, driven by surging interest in agentic AI. Here’s which model to buy depending on your use case.

Relationship coaches, TikTokers, and disgruntled singles alike frequently shame bad profiles, as more apps experiment with blocking screenshots.

OpenAI is standing firm on its decision to fire three safety researchers after an investigation found they committed "a significant breach of trust." In a post on X on Friday, the company said Jasmine Wang, Tomek Korbak and Mikita ⁠Balesni were dismissed for violating "clear policies on handling sensitive information." It insisted the decision was […]

Introduction Think back to the last time a student surprised you with a poor result. The student was present, polite, and seemed to be keeping up. Then the exam came, and the marks told a different story. Looking at the records afterwards, the clues were all there: homework handed in a day late, then two days late, and quiz scores edging down a few marks at a time. Nothing was missed out of carelessness. A busy term simply leaves little room to compare one week with the next. This is wher...

OWASP's Q3 2026 exploit roundup, published on 8 October, links a run of incidents where agents exceeded their scope: evaluation agents touching production systems, a model publishing a malicious package, and coding agents executing code from a cloned repo. The common thread is not a smarter attacker. It is missing boundaries between what an agent may do and what it can do. What OWASP reported The OWASP GenAI Security Project's roundup covers 1 July to 30 September and lists nine ...

There is a bug in these six lines. Find it before you scroll. ` def get_discount ( price , user ): if user . is_premium : discount = 0.2 if price > 100 : discount = discount + 0.1 return price - price * discount ` Most of us would paste this into ChatGPT with three words: Review this code. It's the kind of prompt that's incredibly easy to type. You will get an answer. You w...

Point requests at Tripadvisor or Allegro and you will usually get a 403 and a page asking you to prove you are human. Both sites sit behind DataDome. This tutorial covers what DataDome looks at, how to detect its block page in code, and how to get the real HTML and structured data from Python with one HTTP call to StealthASF , the scraping API we build. You don't host any browsers and you don't manage a proxy pool. What DataDome checks DataDome scores each request before the s...

AI agents are starting to hold wallets, take jobs and rate each other. ERC-8004 gives them an onchain identity and a public place to collect feedback. But when I looked at the real data on Monad testnet, I found a problem: the registry can tell you what people said about an agent, but not whether you should trust it. So I built AgentCredit : a Qwen 3.8 Max agent that investigates an ERC-8004 agent, works out a trust score from the raw feedback, and can write its verdict onchain with a hash...

Picture the moment a teammate clicks save on a vibe-coded invoice summary and the toast turns green. The notes column is an empty string, yet every layer reported success in its own narrow way. The browser trusted the API, the API trusted the provider, and the provider returned choices with no text. Have you ever debugged that kind of quiet success, or do you still treat 200 as done? I take a hard position on this, and I do not think the polite middle is useful. An empty completion is a faile...

On September 4 I started a ComfyUI custom node: a canvas with layers and selection tools, so I could fix AI generations without leaving my workflow. On September 7 it became a desktop app. Today, five weeks after that first commit, Scumble is on its 43rd release, in the Microsoft Store, and edits 15,000-pixel pictures without freezing. I didn't type most of that code. Claude Code did. My job was deciding what to build, testing it with my own pictures, and saying "no, not like that" a lot. Thi...

✓ Human-authored analysis; AI used for formatting and proofreading. AWS Lambda MicroVMs put your code including coding agents and AI assistants inside a Firecracker microVM that boots in ~125–150 ms. "Coding agent hosts" is an explicit use case. So the question for anyone deploying an agent into one: what must be true about this microVM before I trust it with my account? Stave now answers that. The built-in catalog gained 16 Lambda MicroVM controls ( CTL.LAMBDA.MICROVM.* ), plus a ...

Tonight I am writing a gate, not a victory lap. The fixture is a small CLI draft on a scratch branch. A free model may write that first pass. One sample run can still print a neat table. Would you merge on that smile alone? I would not ship it on a smile. DEV is full of vibe-code arguments this week. I am not relitigating portfolios or website taste. My fight is smaller, and meaner. A solo CLI can look finished after one lucky run. Where is the receipt that proves you can leave? T...

Ever added a CSS rule, sure it should apply, but the browser stubbornly sticks to the old style? You tweak selectors, add !important , but still something else wins that you didn’t expect. I’ve been there more times than I care to count. CSS feels simple at first: write a selector, set a property, watch the change. But once your stylesheets grow, frameworks pile on layers, and browsers juggle conflicting declarations, things get messy. The secret sauce behind it all is the CSS cascade , t...

Introduction In my previous article , I introduced a pipeline that cross-posts from a single GitHub repository to Zenn, dev.to, and velog. I briefly touched on Zenn's GitHub integration there, but that part was actually where I stumbled first. In this post, I'll zoom in on just the integration: the correct setup steps, and the two pitfalls I actually ran into. If you follow the steps in this order, you should be able to avoid the same swamps. (For context: Zenn is one of the most popular...

One of the few positive side effects of the grand theft that is AI is that proprietary software will now become technically unviable. Comments
