Log what your tools put in the context window before blaming the model

Ask an agent for one person's sales calls since February 1 and it can come back with calls that person wasn't on, even though the right ones were in its context. The data reaching the model causes that, and a live demo on Chain of Thought in March 2026 showed how. Michel Tricot, CEO and co-founder of Airbyte, ran the query against the Gong API directly. The API couldn't filter calls by user, so the agent paged through every call over roughly a month and a half. He said that path normally take...

Prompts don't enforce budgets. Signatures do.

A spending limit written in a prompt is not a control. It is a piece of text, sitting in the same context window as everything else the model reads, competing for the model's attention with the task, the tool output, and whatever a third party managed to get in front of it. When that limit and an instruction to spend disagree, nothing technical decides between them. The model decides. That is the whole problem. We build Veyline at Payload, so our position is stated plainly up front. Enforceme...

Cloudflare's Deno Acquisition Sparks Concerns Over Project's Long-Term Sustainability and Development

Introduction: Deno's Transition to Cloudflare The recent acquisition of the Deno team by Cloudflare has sent ripples through the developer community, raising critical questions about the project's future. At the heart of this concern is Cloudflare's limited one-year commitment to security updates and bug fixes for Deno. This move, while securing the team's immediate future, introduces a temporal cliff that threatens the project's long-term sustainability and development. The ...

OpenAI and Anthropic call for new laws on artificial intelligence

The hearing highlighted divisions among major tech firms regarding self-regulation and government oversight. The British parliament's Business, Innovation, Science and Trade Committee held a hearing, in which executives from four major artificial intelligence companies, former employees and ...

Vulnerabilities in Windows' SFAPE.dll Enable Arbitrary Code Execution in VBS Enclave, Undermining Isolation Guarantees

Introduction The discovery of critical vulnerabilities in SFAPE.dll , a core component of Virtualization-Based Security (VBS) enclaves in Windows Isolated User Mode (VTL1) , has exposed significant weaknesses in the security guarantees of this isolated environment. These flaws enable arbitrary code execution by allowing attackers to bypass the enclave’s isolation mechanisms. The implications are profound: unauthorized access, data exfiltration, and system-wide compromise become feasibl...

Custom Metrics Dashboard Backend 2026: Compare 4 Cloud and Self-Hosted GDPR APIs

A notification metric is cheap only when it can answer who created the work, which delivery stage failed, and who owns the retry. Choose the backend after fixing that attribution model. For a customer-support notification service, I would compare four paths with the same bounded dataset: CloudWatch, Grafana Cloud's free offering, PostHog, and a small self-hosted metrics API. The winner is the path whose total operational burden fits the team and whose labels preserve responsibility without expos...

Show HN: Sugabots – Group chats where your team and AI agents work together

Showing off Sugabots, an internal project I built at work that we've decided to open-source. I got tired of the team just copying context between agents and Slack. So I built an internal tool for shared chats where our team and agents could work together, using our choice of models and tools. The team is now actively maintaining and building on it to add all the features we're missing. We've shared a hosted offering with a few other teams and has proven useful for them too. Its open-source (MIT)...
