When AI Makes Things Up: The Hallucination Problem in Financial Reporting

Large language models are being used in financial reporting, but they often produce "hallucinations" - factually incorrect information that sounds plausible. This can lead to significant risks, including SEC enforcement and reputational harm, and requires careful deployment and oversight to mitigate.

How MSPs Can Vet Outsourced Technical Support Providers for ISO 27001, SOC 2 and Client Access

Verizon's 2026 Data Breach Investigations Report found that third parties played a role in 48% of breaches, up from 30% the year before. ISO 27001 requires certified companies to manage that risk through their suppliers, and guidance for its Annex A 5.21 control carries those security requirements past a company's vendors to their subcontractors. When an MSP outsources support, the outside engineers who log into a client's systems join that chain. The client has no contract with the outsourci...

Sovereignty. The Geography of the Cloud

The concept of digital sovereignty is complex and cannot be reduced to a simple question of where data is stored, as it involves multiple layers of control.

In a more than 3,000 word blog posted today, Amazon web services CEO Matt Garman pushed back on public concerns around the impact that data centers may have on jobs, power demands, and […]

Estimate your AI feature's model bill before you build it

Most AI MVP budgets I see cover the build and forget the monthly line. That line is the model bill, and at a few thousand users it can pass what the build cost. One formula gets you a usable estimate. The formula monthly cost = requests per month x (input tokens x input price + output tokens x output price) Requests per month is users times how often they use the feature. Input tokens include everything you send: system prompt, retrieved context, chat history. Resend...

Get item index and item count in CSS

sibling-index() and sibling-count() For years, CSS had no way of knowing which position an element had among its siblings, or how many siblings there were. Now it does. With sibling-index() and sibling-count() you can finally get the item index and item count directly in CSS. sibling-index() returns the element's position among its siblings, starting at 1 . sibling-count() returns the total number of siblings, including the element itself. How we used to do it...

`async` Is Built on an Idea You Can See in `yield`

async Is Built on an Idea You Can See in yield yield and await aren't the same thing. A generator isn't an async function, and an async function isn't a generator. But there is an idea hiding underneath both of them that is easy to miss: execution can stop here and continue later. Once you see that, async/await starts looking a lot less magical. 🔴 The Problem Consider a generator: function * work () { console . log ( " A " ); ...

There Is No Such Thing as an Edge Case. Or is there?

There Is No Such Thing as an Edge Case. Or is there? "That's just an edge case." You've probably heard it after someone finds a weird input, an unexpected state, or a combination of events nobody thought would happen. Sometimes that's a perfectly reasonable description. Sometimes it's how a bug gets dismissed. The interesting question is not whether something is unusual. It's whether your software needs to handle it . 🔴 The Problem Imagine you're building a sy...

A tiny HTML proposal with two switches and one render function

A proposal can look perfectly reasonable until you change one option. The price updates, but the delivery time still belongs to the old plan. Now the page is giving two different answers. That is the small problem this example tackles: two packages, two revisions, and one consistent summary. It uses ordinary HTML and JavaScript. The company details and estimates are fictional. The useful part is the shape of the state. You can reuse it for a quote calculator, a package comparison, or a pro...
