Kalshi’s $15.27 billion in displayed contract volume came to $3.53 billion at trade prices. We examine that gap and Polymarket’s $299 million sports week.

A brief intro into the career of Vladimir Sinitsyn

A Senior SRE shares lessons on Kubernetes reliability, AI in incident response, and building a career in infrastructure engineering as a woman in tech.

Retries won't save you. Some failures can't be prevented. Robust systems need to cope.

How a narrated walkthrough video got my KMP + SwiftUI CI alerts app through its sixth App Store rejection, plus building the site with Jekyll + Hallmark and tes

Six major AI companies signed a voluntary agreement with the White House this week vowing to implement safeguards. It’s unclear how much that matters.

President Donald Trump still thinks Republicans have a shot. His aides are less convinced.

Google today revealed its next AI frontier model, which it's calling Gemini 4 Argon. The new model delivers "frontier performance in complex workflows across real-world software engineering, enterprise knowledge work like legal and finance, and cybersecurity defense," according to chief AI architect and Google DeepMind SVP Koray Kavukcuoglu. But the company is limiting access at […]

A24 pissed off one of the internet's largest horror communities when it announced it was working on an SCP Foundation film, but apparently hadn't bothered to contact the SCP Wiki team, nor did it commit to releasing it under a Creative Commons license as required. Seeing an easy PR win, Neon is cashing in by […]

Paramount is appointing a new co-CEO ahead of the close of its $110 billion merger with Warner Bros. Discovery. Ynon Kreiz, previously Mattel's chairman and CEO, will be joining Paramount to lead alongside chairman and CEO David Ellison. According to Paramount, "Ellison will focus on the company's long-term strategy, creative vision and direction, including its […]

Spotify founder Daniel Ek’s Neko Health raised $700 million to build a business around scanning your body, but it’s not the only company centering its roadmap around a new kind of preventative healthcare. Midjourney is building its own body scanner, while Function Health has also raised significant capital to build out its preventative-health platform. Why are investors betting so big on this category?  On this episode of TechCrunch’s Equity podcast, […]

VC Chris Degnan and former board advisor to Factory AI has taken a job as chief revenue officer for Cognition.

Flow Engineering, which is bringing AI agents to hardware design, also landed Roelof Botha as an angel investor and board member.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth just launched a 120-day study on the future of warfare, led by Elon Musk, Palmer Luckey, and Newt Gingrich, and while it makes sense given their ties to the administration, critics could point out that Musk's and Luckey's companies already sell the kinds of technology the study is likely to recommend.

Google has released its latest Gemini model, marketing it as a workhorse for coding and cybersecurity work.

Your one-star reviews are the cheapest bug reports you will ever get. People take the time to write down what broke, on which device, after which update, and they do it in public. The trouble is reading them: the App Store shows one country at a time, mixes praise with complaints, and has no export button. This guide pulls the low-star reviews for an app into Python, then answers three questions a product or QA team actually asks: Where are the complaints coming from? Which app version...

The dashboard showed the toggle on. The status command said enabled. No member had ever received a role. I found this while working on something else. A dashboard to-do claimed that auto-roles and my verification gate "both act on join and conflict", and asked me to add a warning about the clash. Before building the warning I went to check how the two interact. They don't interact, because auto-roles had no code path on join at all. The member-join handler never touched them. The only plac...

Discord limits an app to 100 global slash commands. Subcommands and subcommand groups do not count toward it. My bot, Akiko, sits at exactly 100. I learned where the wall is the hard way. I added a /settings command, the total became 101, and a test failed with expected 101 to be less than or equal to 100 . In production the same mistake shows up as Discord error code 30032 when you deploy your commands. The most useful thing in the repo is a boring test There is a test tha...

Short answer: for a budget Next.js SaaS that must explain why scheduled imports stopped producing results, own the structured event contract and put a replaceable hosted logging API behind it; add specialized tools only for failure boundaries that logs cannot answer. That is an incident-reconstruction decision, not a contest over the number of dashboard widgets. The first question at 02:00 is usually smaller: did the scheduler run, did the import reach the source, did parsing produce records,...

Is AI conscious? Mustafa Suleyman, the CEO of Microsoft AI, says no, flatly, and on September 16 he published an essay arguing that Anthropic's approach to Claude is dangerous because it isn't as sure. A warning about "model welfare" says Anthropic is "training Claude that it may be conscious", and that this "will have a disastrous impact on the wellbeing of humanity". For developers the argument is not abstract: how a model talks about itself is a trained behaviour, and you ship it every time...

Most agent demos are one clever prompt. I wanted to see what happens when you organize agents the way a real company is organized: departments, specialists, and someone at the top deciding who does what. That is Botropolis: 20 specialist agents across 10 departments. Research has Scout. Code has Coder and Reviewer. Finance, legal, health, data, marketing, ops, security, support all have their people. A CEO agent reads your request, routes it to the right departments, runs them, and compiles o...

I set largeThreshold: 50 in my Discord bot's client config. The comment next to it said it saved memory with no functional loss. That was wrong, and it took a log search to find out how wrong. What the setting really does largeThreshold is the large_threshold field in Discord's gateway IDENTIFY payload. It is the member count above which the gateway stops sending offline members when a guild loads. Above it, a guild counts as "large" and the initial guild payload only carri...

The Quest Begins (The “Why”) I still remember my first technical interview like it was yesterday. I sat down, the interviewer tossed over a whiteboard marker, and the problem appeared: “Given an array of integers, return indices of the two numbers that add up to a specific target.” My brain went into overdrive, but my mouth stayed shut. I started typing furiously, hoping the code would speak for itself. Ten minutes later I looked up to see the interviewer’s eyebrows raised, a polite smile, a...

A realtime channel makes a collaborative cursor notification immediate; a message queue makes its recovery durable. The awkward constraint is that replaying every old coordinate after a reconnect is usually wrong. The durable thing is not an endless trail of mouse movements. It is the latest useful state, plus enough ordering information to reject stale updates. Short answer: use a realtime channel to accelerate live cursor updates and a durable queue or state log to recover after disconnec...

I made Webbit for people who want to edit a website visually while keeping ordinary HTML, CSS and JavaScript files. It’s a free Windows app, currently in Beta 1. Here’s a small example you can follow without an AI service or subscription. Disclosure: Webbit and this walkthrough were created with help from AI. The screenshots and demonstrated edits come from the actual editor. Start with the restaurant template Choose New site → Restaurants → Restaurant & café . Webbit ope...

A successful response says the invoice workflow finished. It does not explain where the request spent its time. Lab 07 explores that gap through a Go service that loads an invoice, reserves inventory, calculates commission, generates a PDF, and sends a notification. The useful question is not just “Is the endpoint working?” It is “What happened inside this request, and which dependency explains its latency or failure?” One workflow, two levels of visibility The unsafe service ...

this one's a bit embarrassing. Akiko has a premium tier that runs through Stripe, and for about ten weeks every webhook Stripe sent her dashboard failed. i had no idea. i only found out because of an email from Stripe that had been sitting unread for seventeen days. what happened i retired the old Express backend on the dashboard and moved everything into Next.js. the Stripe keys lived in the root .env . Next runs from the web/ folder under pm2, so it reads web/.env inste...
