It Should Be Harder to Apply for a Job. No, Really

Thanks to a dwindling supply of open roles, “one-click” applications, and the rise of artificial intelligence, it’s easier than ever to apply for a job. We’re all paying the price.

Android is getting its own weird dots to cure car sickness

Google is rolling out a new Android feature that's been proven to reduce, or even eliminate, motion sickness when using a phone inside a moving vehicle. Dubbed Motion Assist by Google, it's very similar to Apple's Motion Cues, first introduced in 2024. The Android 17 feature appears to be rolling out in phases, with some […]

OpenAI subpoenaed by Alabama AG over Hugging Face hack

Alabama's attorney general issued a subpoena to OpenAI on Monday as part of an investigation into how one of its AI agents escaped a supposedly secure testing environment and autonomously hacked another company last month. The investigation seeks to determine whether OpenAI's safety practices violated state consumer protection laws and pose a risk to Alabama […]

Greenworks’ MaximusZ electric riding mower has five motors and a few compromises

The current EV market is flush with variety. I've driven single-motor economy-minded machines, dual-motor EVs with all-wheel drive, tri-motor vehicles that dial up the performance stakes, and even wild quad-motor performance cars, like the Rimac Nevera. But this is the first time I've ever driven a five-motor EV, one with the agility and speed to […]

Why Your OpenAPI Spec Isn't Enough for AI Agents

OpenAPI describes an API. Agent Readiness describes whether an agent can actually use it. Your API has a complete OpenAPI spec. Every endpoint, schema, and response code is documented. Yet when an AI agent tries to use it, the agent fails — not because the spec is wrong, but because the spec describes an interface, not an agent's experience. This isn't about OpenAPI being bad. OpenAPI is a necessary foundation. But it's not a complete Agent Readiness layer. The Provocation...

Authorize Can't See Your Data

The first authorization bug I ever shipped wasn't a missing [Authorize] attribute. It was the opposite — everything had [Authorize] , the tests were green, and it still let one user edit another user's stuff. The attribute was doing exactly what it promised. I just wanted it to promise something else. That's the gap that trips people up: [Authorize] answers "is this user allowed to hit this endpoint." It has no idea "is this user allowed to touch this specific row." Those are two differe...

Qwen 27B na Q3 kvantizaci napsal WebGL hlavu od nuly

Lokální model Qwen 27B na kvantizaci Q3 napsal z ničeho WebGL render lidské hlavy — bez knihoven, na dvou RTX 3060 Ti. Výsledek je vtipně děsivý, ale ukazuje, jak daleko malé lokální modely v kreativním kódování došly. Co se stalo Uživatel položil svému lokálnímu modelu jednoduchý úkol: „vyrob mi lidskou hlavu ve WebGL od nuly, bez knihoven". Model Qwen 27B na kvantizaci Q3 (konkrétně Q3_K_M K6V4) to vzal doslova — a z bezmála nulového zadání vygeneroval kompletní WebGL scénu....

Real Programmers Don’t Read Code

OPENING Back in the good old days — the Golden Era of computing, roughly March 2025 — it was easy to separate the Real Programmers from the Quiche Eaters. Real Programmers orchestrated. Quiche Eaters typed. A Real Programmer said things like "spin up six subagents and gate on the eval suite," and the Quiche Eaters said things like "I prefer to understand my own code" — a sentence with the same energy as roasting your own coffee beans or churning your own butter. But times change. ...

Flexibility with admin consent in Entra: how to scale consent flows for AI agents

Most organizations treat tenant-wide admin consent in Microsoft Entra as a binary decision. Either a central identity team approves every request, or somebody receives a broad administrative role so the queue can move faster. That is a false choice. Microsoft Entra supports a more precise control model: define which consent requests are acceptable in an app consent policy, bind that policy to a custom directory role, and delegate only the authority to approve requests inside that envelope....

I scanned 1,049 AI-built apps. 71 got flagged for the same mistake. Here's how many were actually real. Vibe coding has a security problem. That's not news anymore. Wiz found it in Moltbook back in February. Forbes wrote about it in March. The Verge covered it in June. Security researchers have been scanning Supabase-backed apps at scale for most of 2026, and the numbers keep landing in the same place: somewhere between 1 in 10 and 1 in 15 apps built fast with AI tools ship a database that a...

n8n's Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Node Brings Managed AI Agents Into Workflows

n8n has published a Verified Node Spotlight for a community integration that brings the Amazon Bedrock AgentCore harness into n8n workflows. The aws/n8n-nodes-agentcore node gives users a way to run production-oriented AI agents through a managed runtime provisioned in their own AWS account, while using n8n to design the surrounding workflow. For smaller businesses exploring agent-based automation, the practical appeal is a more integrated route to persistent memory, isolated execution, and ...

Qwen 3.8, Ornith, Nemotron a Muse-Glimmer v reálném srovnání

Přímé srovnání čtyř populárních open-source modelů na reálné coding úloze přineslo překvapivé výsledky.

Chat history is a second read path into your RAG data — gate the replay like the search

My copilot persists the source cards it cites — which documents backed each answer, scores, names, the works. That's table stakes for a trustworthy RAG product: an answer without its evidence is just vibes. Here's the question that changed how I shipped it: six months from now, a user opens that old conversation and the cards render again. Who authorized them the second time? The comfortable answer is "nobody has to — it's the user's own history, they already saw it." I shipped the uncom...
