Short answer: Choose a transactional email API only after its custom domain verification, DKIM rotation, suppression export, event history, and rollback controls let a small team explain every accepted, deferred, bounced, or blocked message. A transactional email API is only simple while delivery state stays simple. The operational constraint is recovery, not the length of the send request. That is the choice. A low send price is useful, but it can't compensate for a sender identity nobod...

Disclosure: I build Schemity , a desktop ERD tool - this post is from our blog and uses it for the examples. TL;DR: The database has a built-in place to document a column - COMMENT ON COLUMN in PostgreSQL, the COMMENT attribute in MySQL - and almost nobody fills it in, because a sentence of prose has to travel the same path as a schema change: a migration file, a review, a deploy. Schemity keeps field descriptions in the diagram instead, where editing one generates no SQL, reads existin...

The web is entering an awkward phase: users can still read everything, but they cannot easily tell what they are reading. A support answer, product review, help article, sales email, synthetic image, and generated video can all look polished enough to pass at a glance. That is useful for builders. It is also a trust problem. Recent signals point in the same direction. Pew Research Center analyzed roughly 490,000 English-language webpages from Common Crawl and found that 10% of sampled page...

An e-commerce alert is not complete when an API accepts a message. It is complete when the application records a terminal delivery state, suppresses an invalid recipient, or escalates through a separately governed channel. Short answer: use a dedicated SMS API for a small critical-alert worker when template ownership and direct status control matter; keep AWS SNS when SMS belongs inside an existing cloud messaging stack, and prefer a callback-capable provider when escalation must begin in under...

Choose a text-summary API by the percentage of outputs that pass a source-grounded evaluation, then compare latency, regional controls, and cost only among the candidates that clear that bar. For a JavaScript subscription app serving US and EU users, the decisive constraint is rarely the cheapest advertised token rate. It is the complete production path: cleaning an article, fitting or splitting it, generating a summary, validating claims, and recovering safely when a request is interrupted. ...

Top AI Agent Security & Guardrails Frameworks in 2026: Defending Against Prompt Injections & Tool Hijacking As AI agents transition from read-only chatbots to autonomous actors with tool execution privileges (SQL queries, API calls, shell execution, email dispatch), application security has become the number one blocker for production deployment. A simple prompt injection against a chatbot produces bad text; a prompt injection against an agent can drop production databases, exf...

Top Vector Databases for AI Agents in 2026: Qdrant vs Pinecone vs Weaviate vs PgVector vs Milvus Persistent memory is the foundation that turns a stateless LLM into a continuously improving, autonomous agent. In 2026, selecting a vector database is no longer just about raw Approximate Nearest Neighbor (ANN) speed. For AI agents, the critical requirements have shifted to: Payload & Metadata Filtering : Can you filter by tenant_id , user_id , and timestamp during vector graph...

I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes/sec on an iPhone 15). The idea is basically GitHub Copilot or Tabnine, except instead of prompting it with code, you prompt it by playing a few notes on a MIDI piano. The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device. The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work. Comments URL: https://new...
