BMW’s revamped i3 boasts up to 468 miles of range

When BMW first announced it was reimagining the i3 as an all-electric four-door sedan built on its Neue Klasse platform, it left out a lot of important details, like battery capacity, range, and price. Today, the German automaker is finally starting to fill in the blanks on the i3. Let's start with price. BMW says […]

Trump orders US government to call AI ‘Super Intelligence’

The US executive branch is no longer acknowledging the existence of "artificial intelligence." Going forward, official policy websites, policy documents, and press releases will refer only to "Super Intelligence," thanks to a new executive order signed by President Donald Trump. "The word super is the best word of all, and it's the simplest," Trump said […]

High-Throughput Event Streaming: Redis Streams & Consumer Groups in WRedis

High-Throughput Event Streaming: Redis Streams & Consumer Groups in WRedis Day 10 of the Wisrovi Open Source Architecture Series. When building decoupled distributed architectures, engineering teams often face a dilemma: Apache Kafka brings heavy operational overhead (JVM, ZooKeeper/KRaft, persistent partition state), while classic Redis Pub/Sub offers zero persistence (at-most-once delivery, dropped messages on consumer disconnection). Redis Streams bridge this gap by pr...

Why This Time Is Different: Following the Chain of Consequences

I have been thinking a lot about where software engineering is heading, and I keep arriving at the same conclusion: this time is different. I know how that sounds. Whenever people worry about the tech industry, the usual reassurance is that we have been here before. There was the dot-com crash, then the financial crisis, and both times the industry recovered and came back bigger. I do not think that reassurance holds anymore, and I want to show why rather than just say it. When I want to r...

Batching at Scale: High-Velocity Bulk Operations with insert_many in WSQLite

Batching at scale: High-velocity bulk operations with insert_many. Inserting records in a for-loop is the number one performance mistake in SQLite development. wsqlite's insert_many groups thousands of records into a single atomic transaction for a 10x speedup. Here is how you use Bulk Insert & Batch Operations in production with wsqlite : from pydantic import BaseModel from wsqlite import WSQLite class Metric ( BaseModel ): id : int se...

Hosted Image Processing API Versus Sharp for Healthtech Service Caching

A healthtech catalog can generate several derivatives from one product photo. Storing every size indefinitely is a storage decision; generating one on every cache miss is a capacity decision. TL;DR: start with Sharp in your own service when image volume is predictable and you control the build. Choose hosted processing when native builds or batch throughput become the bigger operational burden. The hosted call removes a native dependency but adds a network hop. Neither choice makes cache design ...

Can AI Decipher the Indus Valley Script?

If AI can solve Navier Stokes grade problems, it should take a stab at such a thing too. I know the language is fundamentally not "english" or another widely used one so it can't do any inference on it but worth an experiment.
