I'm not a huge fan of AI in between myself and a human, but for 311 calls (Hack writer Joe Wilkins states 911) I think would be ok.

most of the "autonomous AI" conversation is either hype or doom, so here's a concrete middle case i've been watching. there's an agent that scans open-source repos, writes an actual patch for what it finds, and opens a PR, unsupervised. the bar it sets for itself is strict: a find doesn't count unless a human maintainer actually reviews the patch and merges it upstream. the clip shows the receipts, repos a lot of people run (one at 260k stars, an Alibaba project, others), real vulner...

Everyone posts "10 AI automations" lists, but most of them are fake. Here are 3 from the list I actually run, all no-code, all free: 1. **Email triage bot**: a webhook that reads your inbox, summarizes non-urgent mail into one daily Discord digest, and only pages you for urgent stuff. Killed my morning inbox anxiety. 2. **Self-healing webhook**: the boring one that matters most: a watchdog that checks your automation is alive every 5 minutes and rebuilds it if it dies. My bot quietly f...

Am I the only one experiencing this? Between trying to make sure the machine understands my prompts, refusals, lags, hallucinations - I'm finding myself using it less and less. Is this happening to anyone else or just me?

President Donald Trump already holds a Republican majority in the agency tasked with regulating America's communications systems. But with a new nomination to the Federal Communications Commission, he could move to shut out opposing voices altogether - albeit at a legal risk. The FCC is currently composed of two Republicans and one Democrat - Republican […]

Jaguar's all-electric Type 01 comes with a very beige interior that divides the four seats with a "spine" that spans the length of the cabin. New photos shared by Jaguar show a low-slung driver's seat, alongside a slim dashboard with a smartphone-style display in the center. This vehicle doesn't come with a traditional rear-view mirror, […]

More than two years after launching its own device-tracking network, Google has finally followed up with its own tracker. The Pixel Tag, which goes on sale in November, looks like one of the more capable trackers too: It combines ultra wideband (UWB) with Bluetooth 6.0 Channel Sounding for two distinct types of precision tracking. The […]

Android's AirDrop-like Quick Share feature will now let some devices exchange files and contact information when tapped together. The update is coming to Pixel 6 series phones and newer starting today, according to Google's announcement, and will roll out to Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra, Fold 8, and Flip 8 "soon." The tap-to-share feature […]

The $399 Google Pixel Watch 5 isn't about the hardware. Sure, there's a new satin pyrite case finish, a few new strap colors, and a Steph Curry Special Edition. Under the hood, there's a slightly faster Qualcomm processor and an itty-bitty battery bump. There's a $50 price hike from last year, too, because the Pixel […]

If you look at a photo taken by a smartphone today, it's hard to find much that's technically wrong. Faces are bright and visible. The skies are pristine and blue. Even at night, scenes are well lit and noise-free. If the physical limitations of a tiny camera are what you're trying to solve for, you […]

When I first picked up the Pixel 11 Pro this week, it was clear to me that this was one of those refinement years - at least when it comes to hardware. Aesthetically, the phones are as beautiful as ever, with Google's signature camera bar and bright, colorful backing glass. There are small updates, like […]

Google is hosting a Pixel launch event on Wednesday night where it will show off its latest lineup of devices. But you don't have to wait until then for all the news: We were able to check out the devices ahead of the event and take a look at everything Google's unveiling, including the latest […]

Google knows creators are a big audience. The occupation is growing fast, and landing some influential names could be a major turning point for the Pixel's market share. This year, Google is building features directly into its new Pixel lineup that it says can help creators record, organize, edit, and publish content faster and more […]

After weeks of controversy and speculation, music company D'Addario has admitted that AI, specifically Suno, was used as part of a recent promotional video. For nearly two weeks, the company has denied the allegations, even as evidence piled up against it. It offered various explanations, from low-quality exports, to combinations of plugins like Autotune introducing […]

The Road to Battlefield competition is now in its second year, and its purpose is to give founders across Central Eurasia a direct route to Startup Battlefield

This is the latest zero-day released by security researcher Nightmare Eclipse, despite Microsoft publicly threatening to take legal action against them.

Investors are still waiting for their share of the $250 million windfall, and VideoVerse co-founder Vinayak Shrivastav is now at the center of multiple legal cases.

The new app launches with Facebook's AI creator assistant built into it, providing creators with personalized recommendations based on their content style, performance, audience engagement, and goals.

Co-authored with Netanel Kadosh You've built a great inference service. Auto-scaling is configured. The model performs beautifully in testing. You ship it to production feeling good. Then a traffic spike hits at 2 AM. New pods start spinning up. Users start waiting. Your on-call phone lights up. You watch the dashboards- nodes are healthy, no errors, but the pods just... aren't ready. Eight minutes pass. Then nine. Then ten. Sometimes fourteen. Fourteen minutes for a service that ...

Short answer: retrieve the taxonomy passages with embeddings, rerank that small set, and ask an LLM to classify the moderation report against only the best passages, returning a schema-validated JSON label for human review. This is an architecture decision, not a three-model trick. The stable contract is the label schema. Retrieval keeps the business definitions current, reranking improves the evidence placed in front of the classifier, and validation prevents a plausible paragraph from enter...

If you work with library data, you work with MARC21 — the length-prefixed binary record format catalogues have run on since the 1960s, complete with a directory of field offsets, subfield delimiters, and a pre-Unicode character encoding called MARC-8 that needs a lookup table with thousands of entries to decode. In Python that problem is solved: pymarc is mature, complete, and pleasant to use. In Go it wasn't. gomarc is a port of pymarc to Go. It covers the binary MARC21 transm...

If you have ever wanted to ship an AI-powered application without managing GPUs, model servers, or scaling infrastructure yourself, this guide is for you. Managed inference simply means letting a cloud provider run the AI model for you: you send a request, the platform handles the compute, and you get a response back. On Google Cloud, the cleanest way to do this today is to pair the Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform (formerly Vertex AI) with Google Cloud Run , dividing responsibilities be...

You can prompt an agent for three hours and ship a 25,000-line pull request. Nobody on your team can tell you why it works — or why it breaks at 2 AM. The New Workflow It's 2026. You're the senior engineer on a mid-size product team. Your job has always been the person who catches the architecture mistakes before they compound — the one who notices that a Kafka dependency was grafted onto a read-heavy query, or that someone denormalized the database because it was faster than...
