The burrito chain has enlisted Palantir for a platform that monitors pest incidents, employee illnesses, and other factors. The partnership comes after a nightmare summer for food safety across the US.

I used an open-source map of a fruit fly’s brain to vibe code a website called PitchFly. Its headline suggestions were delightfully bananas.

Before Amazon’s October sale begins, learn how to investigate prices and track products like a pro.

Claude is getting a pair of new tools today: Docs and Slides. They'll let you create documents and presentations through Claude chats, which you can export, edit, and share with other users. As part of the announcement, Anthropic is also simplifying how Claude chats work, merging regular chats and Cowork into "one Claude," with all […]

Google is opening up its smart home to AI agents, letting tools like Claude and Open Claw access and control your connected devices and analyze your home's data using the standardized Model Context Protocol. Google Home MCP is a new integration that lets third-party AI agents control and monitor your smart home and act on […]

This is Optimizer, a weekly newsletter sent from Verge senior reviewer Victoria Song that dissects and discusses the latest gizmos and potions that swear they're going to change your life. Opt in for Optimizer here. During last week's Apple Watch announcement, I let out a distinct "Noooo!" in the Steve Jobs Theater. Along with a […]

According to The Information, Apple is planning to get back into the server game and might just pair up with Nvidia to make it happen. Apple retired its Xserve line in 2011 and has largely left enterprise machines to other manufacturers since. But the growing demand for compute power as the AI industry continues to […]

The Metroid series is going back to its 2D roots again with Metroid Ravenous for the Nintendo Switch 2, the first side-scrolling game in the series since 2021’s Metroid Dread for the Nintendo Switch. If you’re already excited enough to consider preordering, you can save $10 on the physical version of the game when you […]

When Paul W.S. Anderson's Resident Evil hit theaters in 2002, video game movies were largely seen as a niche. Films like Mortal Kombat and Tomb Raider had proven that big-screen game adaptations could be successful, but the commercial and critical failure of projects like the 1993 Super Mario Bros. still cast a long shadow. And […]

“Why do I have to beg my grandparents to put on their hearing aids, but no one has ever needed to ask me to put on my glasses?”  That’s the question that drove Matthew de Jonge to spend six years building Fortell, an AI hearing aid startup that recently raised $163 million from the likes of Founders Fund, Thrive Capital, and Valor Equity […]

Anthropic is initially releasing these features to Pro and Max plan subscribers.

Google is launching early access to a new MCP server for Google Home, allowing AI agents like Claude, ChatGPT, and others to control connected devices, review camera summaries, and access smart home activity using natural language.

The ShinyHunters gang leaked the files online after saying the Florida state agency did not pay their ransom demand.

There may be a simpler and more effective fix for rogue agents, hiding in plain sight.

Elisa de Martel, who left her position as chief financial officer at Alphabet's autonomous vehicle company Waymo in January, will be based out of Silicon Valley.

CFO Mark Davies and legal chief Andy Missan signed each other’s severance agreements while Matt Mullenweg was on leave, providing a year of salary and additional equity vesting if their departures qualify for the benefits.

The move closes the gap between the market discussions taking place on the timeline, and the market itself.

Despite broad browser support, container queries remain surprisingly underused and frequently misunderstood. Let’s look at how they differ from media queries, when to reach for each, and how container queries help reusable components respond naturally to the contexts in which they appear. - CSS - Tools - Techniques

If you've shipped an AI feature on Vercel, you already know the fear: a prompt-injection loop, a misconfigured retry, or just genuine unexpected traffic, and your LLM bill stops being a line item and starts being an incident. It's not hypothetical — usage-based hosting bills spiking into five figures overnight is a well-documented enough pattern that entire blogs exist to chronicle it, Vercel included . What's changed is that Vercel now ships an actual spend cap for this specific failure mod...

1. Introduction If you're starting your journey into AWS, Cloud Computing, or DevOps, there's a very good chance the first service you'll touch i s Amazon S3 (Simple Storage Service) . It's one of the oldest, most widely used, and most beginner-friendly services AWS offers — and understanding it well will make almost everything else in AWS easier to learn. In this guide, we'll break down S3 from the ground up: what it is, how it works, how to create and use buckets, how to secure your da...

El punto de partida Cuando empecé a hacer proyectos de RAG con Amazon Bedrock, pude ver las ventajas de usar una Knowledge Base gestionada, ya que te resuelve casi todo, como la ingesta, el chunking, los embeddings y la base vectorial. Pero para entender bien la arquitectura, quería ver qué pasaba por dentro. Así que en vez de quedarme solo con lo gestionado, armé el mismo proyecto de tres formas distintas, quitándole una capa de abstracción en cada paso para ver qué hacía cada pieza. ...

A data engineering roadmap crossed my feed recently. It is thoughtful, detailed, and 571 lines long. The associated Reddit discussion had a predictable reaction: useful reference, terrifying learning plan. That distinction matters. A map can show every road in a country. It does not mean you need to drive every road before you are allowed to leave home. The Data Engineering Roadmap 2026 covers software engineering, Python, SQL, operational databases, warehouses, lakehouse storage, orc...

Data orchestration became interesting again, although I am not sure it ever stopped being complicated. In July, Prefect announced that it was acquiring Dagster Labs . The announcement says Dagster will keep its name, support, and open-source license, with no migration required for customers. In September, Kestra released version 2.0 with a rewritten engine, separate control and data planes, remote workers, and flows that agents can call as tools. Naturally, the familiar question returne...

Short answer: use an at-least-once message queue with delayed retries, an idempotent Node.js worker, and a dead-letter queue for failed SaaS jobs; use cron only to trigger work that is then drained by workers. For an e-commerce system, that means a failed order-confirmation or inventory-sync job becomes a durable message. A worker claims it, records the outcome, and either acknowledges it, schedules a bounded retry, or sends it to a dead-letter queue (DLQ) for inspection. This design gives op...

TL;DR: Running GPU-accelerated VMAF on Windows is surprisingly painful. After spending hours fighting broken builds and undocumented errors, the only reliable path I found is WSL2 + Docker Desktop + NVIDIA Container Toolkit + a CUDA-enabled FFmpeg . This guide walks you through the whole setup using the easyVmaf project, so you can skip the trial-and-error I went through. This guide uses easyVmaf , a project that ships a Dockerfile.cuda specifically built for this purpose. We'll run it...

The number on the front of a UPS is a charge reading. It is not a health reading. A unit showing full can drop the load the moment it transfers. The display will have been telling you everything was fine right up until the instant it stopped being fine, and it was not lying — it was answering a different question than the one you thought you were asking. That gap between charged and working is the whole subject here. Sizing the unit is settled territory: VA against watts, runtime again...

As software engineers, we have been conditioned to accept a deeply flawed premise: that entering the Artificial Intelligence research space requires multi-billion-dollar infrastructure, massive enterprise GPU clusters, and infinite venture capital. The mainstream tech narrative has turned language model pre-training into a game of brute-force computational scale. But scale alone is not engineering. Recently, an independent research line under the architecture CetinLM proved that localized ...
