Just a couple of weeks after launching Muse, Meta announced that it's "working on" bringing the agent to its smart glasses, including the new glasses it unveiled at Meta Connect. Users will be able to activate Muse from their glasses by saying its name and ask it to handle tasks like guiding a workout, logging […]

Meta’s next VR device isn’t a headset — it’s glasses

Meta is launching new VR hardware: a pair of glasses. The new Meta VR Glasses sit on your ears like a typical pair of glasses instead of being strapped over your head, but they still have immersive displays for watching movies, playing games, and getting work done. Imagine a pair of hefty black sunglasses with […]

Measuring developer experience without a survey

The usual first move when someone decides to take developer experience seriously is to send a survey. It is the obvious thing to do and it is rarely the most useful thing available, because the data you actually need is already sitting in systems you run. I am not against surveys. They capture things instrumentation cannot: whether people feel trusted, whether they think anyone is listening, whether the platform is something they use or something that happens to them. But as a starting point ...

What two Contentful builds taught us about content models and publishing boundaries

For Addiction Education Society (AES), we modeled resources, stories, and core pages in Contentful so staff could update the public site without developer support. The team now publishes changes in minutes rather than days. For CrewAI, we mapped reusable page components to Contentful models, then built a separate handoff that turns published Ghost articles into Contentful drafts. Both projects used the same content management system (CMS). The useful engineering decision was where to place edito...

974 CVEs in One Month: Mapping the Windows Patch Surface With Internet-Wide Data

974 CVEs in One Month: Mapping the Windows Patch Surface With Internet-Wide Data Microsoft's September 2026 Patch Tuesday fixed 974 CVEs, including two exploited zero-days (CVE-2026-81963 in the Windows Update Stack and CVE-2026-85880 in ALPC). Vulnerability management teams usually read such releases as internal work queues. Internet asset mapping adds a second, external view: which Windows-exposed services sit on public IPs, which of them leak version information, and how the patch backlog...

ChatGPT Reaches 1 Billion Weekly Users: What Mass AI Adoption Means for Businesses

OpenAI says ChatGPT and its broader product family now reach more than one billion weekly active users , a scale that makes AI assistants a practical operating question for far more businesses. The company also says its products serve 2.5 million businesses , according to a mid-August 2026 usage snapshot. The milestone does not mean every organization has an effective AI strategy. It does mean familiarity with AI copilots is increasingly widespread among employees, customers, and prospective...

Should You Be Distilling Your Own Model?

$87,000 vs roughly $1,000. Those were our first estimates for processing a corpus of 6.5 million semantic atoms with Sonnet or training and running a smaller model ourselves. I was ready to build the smaller model. Our job was narrow. We needed to read financial text and record who said what, what they claimed, and how certain the source was. A wrong speaker or an invented certainty would become a record that other parts of the system trusted. Sonnet was our quality anchor. We would use it to...

My factual-recall tasks were scoring format, not facts

Originally published at erikhill.dev . The numbers below are checked against the repository they come from. My factual-recall tasks were scoring format, not facts This is a finding about my own harness. The suspect is the probe, not the models it measures. What happened I built a detector that decides whether a day's drift run contains anything worth writing up. The first thing it did was accuse my own suite. One task, fact-element , had failed on three or ...

Twice the data, less power: my stability rule got blinder the harder I looked

Originally published at erikhill.dev . The numbers below are checked against the repository they come from. Twice the data, less power: my stability rule got blinder the harder I looked This is a finding about a measurement rule, not about a model. The models did not change. What happened I was comparing two models on a frozen 159 task suite and I had a problem most eval code does not admit to having: the same model, asked the same question three times, some...

From Scanning to Self-Assessment: Using ZoomEye to Inventory Your Own Attack Surface

From Scanning to Self-Assessment: Using ZoomEye to Inventory Your Own Attack Surface Internet-wide scanners are a double-edged tool. Attackers use them to find exposed systems; defenders can use the same capability to discover what they have accidentally exposed. In 2026, government advisories have repeatedly pointed to scanning services as part of the attacker's workflow, which makes the defensive use of the same data both practical and urgent. This article explains how to turn ZoomEye meas...

Revisiting the Toyota Production System (TPS) in the Age of Coding Agents

Software has borrowed a surprising amount from manufacturing. Not from manufacturing in the sense of “let’s put programmers on an assembly line.” Thankfully, we’ve tried enough variations of that idea already. I mean something more interesting. Some of the most influential ideas in modern software development came from looking at how Toyota transformed manufacturing. Lean Software Development, Kanban, limiting work in progress, reducing waste, optimizing flow, continuous improvement, pull ...

Is GEO only in our heads, or something real?

I was deep in thought about how much of a model hallucination is RLHF-based assumption in the absence of training data or context. Pretraining gives the model the ability to confabulate. Post-training often influences whether it chooses to confabulate rather than say "I don't know." A base language model is trained to predict plausible continuations. If the evidence needed to answer is absent from its weights or context, there's no fundamental mechanism in next-token prediction that says "st...

Scoped Permission Error in One Code Branch (Capability Evidence First)

Treat a permission failure on one path as a capability-discovery problem: record the operation that path intends to perform, compare it with the credential's declared grants, and stop before making the outbound call. Rotating the key first can hide the mismatch while quietly widening its blast radius. TL;DR: In a customer-support service, give each workload a narrow credential and a spending boundary. When only the usage-alert path fails, log a stable operation name, the required capability, ...
