The cable news network’s president, Rebecca Kutler, wants to leverage its massive online and TV audience to create a fan community. First up: letting you chat with Rachel Maddow.

Get all the news when it happens, as our reporters bring you live updates from Apple Park, the company’s headquarters in Cupertino, California.

A senior Anthropic safety researcher has said there is more than a 10 percent chance artificial intelligence "could kill all humans" by the end of the decade, just hours after a colleague resigned over fears the AI lab and its rivals are carelessly racing to build "superhuman systems" they cannot control. In a post on […]

You now know what each word is. But do you know what each word does ? In the previous post, we covered Part of Speech Tagging: the process of labelling each word as a noun, verb, adjective, and so on. That tells you the category of every word in a sentence. But it doesn’t tell you how those words connect to each other. Take this sentence: “The dog bit the man.” POS tagging tells you that “dog” is a noun and “bit” is a verb. But it doesn’t tell you that “dog” is the one doing the biti...

Building a serverless Chrome Extension to safely extract Facebook Group data Hey everyone! 👋 As a solo freelance developer who handles a lot of web automation, data scraping, and B2B lead generation, I constantly need to analyze Facebook communities. Usually, when I need to scrape data, my default stack involves spinning up Python with Playwright, Nodriver, or handling anti-detect browsers. But let’s be honest: maintaining a heavy automated setup just to grab a quick list of members f...

Scroll to the bottom of almost any blog post and you'll find the same five icons: a bird that got rebranded two years ago, a lowercase "f" in a circle, a chain-link for "copy URL," maybe an envelope. Someone built that row once, for the apps that mattered at the time, and it has been quietly lying to every reader since. It doesn't know if you have Twitter — sorry, X — installed. It doesn't know you'd rather send this to yourself on WhatsApp, or drop it in the Notes app, or AirDrop it to the l...

Most security software marketing sounds the same: "military-grade encryption," "unbreakable," "100% secure." I want to try something different. I'm going to tell you about a real mistake in an earlier version of my app, ATLOCK, how I found it, and exactly what replaced it — because I think more builders should talk about the version of their product they're embarrassed by. What ATLOCK actually does ATLOCK is a Windows security suite with four modules: Lockdown — system-level screen lock...

Call quality is not a single number you check once. It is a stream of measurements — MOS, jitter, latency, packet loss — that arrive while a call is active and that you need to inspect afterward. This sample puts that stream into a Flask dashboard with live SSE updates, SQL-backed history, and threshold alerting, all verifiable without a Telnyx account. I work with Telnyx. The code is available here: https://github.com/team-telnyx/telnyx-code-examples/tree/main/call-quality-monitor ...

Alpha testing usually happens when a product is stable enough for realistic internal testing but has not yet reached external users. Its exact position can vary depending on how the team develops and releases software. In a traditional SDLC, alpha testing often appears as a distinct stage. In Agile and CI/CD environments, it may work more like an internal release checkpoint that happens repeatedly before selected users receive access. Where Alpha Testing Fits in the SDLC In a ...

A join is how you ask one question across two tables. The database keeps patients in one table and appointments in another, because storing the patient's name on every appointment row would mean fixing it in ten places when it's misspelled. A join puts them back together for the length of one query. That's the whole idea. The part that takes practice is that there are several kinds of joins, and they disagree about what to do with rows that have no partner on the other side. Pick the wrong on...

You're inside a 400-line file. You need to find where userId is used, but your fingers start the classic ritual: j , j , j , j , look around, j , j , k because you overshot, sigh, repeat. Where was that variable? Why are there three similar blocks? Who wrote this endless function? Ah. You did. Always more fun when the culprit is you. Vim doesn't want you wandering through files like you're searching for your keys in the dark — room by room, hand on the wall. It wants you to jump str...

Borsa verisiyle uğraşmaya başladığım ilk günlerde her şeyi sıfırdan yazmaya çalışıyordum. Kendi indikatörlerimi, kendi veri çekme sistemlerimi kuruyordum ama zamanla fark ettim ki bazı araçlar aslında benim yapmaya çalıştığım her işi benden daha iyi ve hızlı yapıyor. Fiyat verisiyle uğraşırken her projede aynı kütüphanelere dönüyorum. Hepsini gerçek işlerde kullandım, sırasıyla ne işe yaradıklarını ve neden tercih ettiğimi anlatıyorum. Bu liste benim yıllar içinde deneme yanılma ile oluşturduğum...

✓ Human-authored analysis; AI used for formatting and proofreading. When a user's kubectl command authenticates to an Amazon EKS cluster, three components cooperate to turn an AWS identity into a Kubernetes user: The aws-iam-authenticator client signs an STS GetCallerIdentity request and sends the URL to the cluster as a presigned bearer token. The cluster's webhook authenticator parses the URL, verifies the signature, and extracts the AWS principal's identity. A configured ...

Ask an AI agent for a discussion-board schema and you'll get one in about four seconds. Here is the part nobody mentions: you'll also get is_deleted in this table and del_yn in the next one, because the model is pattern-matching against every schema on GitHub, and those schemas disagree with each other and with you. The fix is not a better prompt. It is giving the agent the same thing you'd give a new hire — the list of words your team actually uses — and making it impossible to ignore. ...

Update — v0.2.0 released. CauterRule is now live on GitHub and PyPI .

With only a few hours left until the first iPhone launch event since John Ternus took over as the CEO of Apple, Bloomberg reporter Mark Gurman says the name of the company's long-rumored folding phone is the iPhone Duo. The midnight report suggests it will have a price starting at $2,000 for a model with […]

UK-based manufacturing software startup CloudNC announced Wednesday a $20 million B extension round, bringing its lifetime total raised amount to $128 million.

Fusionality is developing control systems and simulation environments to help fusion power startups move faster.

Decide to become an AI engineer and the first thing you meet is a framework list. Learn LangChain? People say LangGraph is rising. What about CrewAI, AutoGen? Picking wrong feels like it will cost you a year. The posting data settles that anxiety first. An agent-specialist job board tallied 1,135 of its own listings from March–May 2026 (the site doesn't name its operator, so read it as a snapshot). More than half of those ads name no framework at all. The ads that do name them average 2.31 ...

Ground your confidence in how you work, not in what you currently know. Knowledge based confidence is a trap, and it gets more dangerous the better you get. You learn a stack deeply, you become the person everyone asks, and your sense of being competent quietly fuses with that specific body of facts. Then the company changes direction, or the tool is replaced, or you move teams, and your confidence walks out of the door with the thing you knew. You have seen this happen to people with fift...

Writing code that works is relatively straightforward. Writing code that can be safely modified, extended, and maintained by a team of 50+ engineers across multiple time zones without breaking production is an entirely different discipline. As engineering organizations grow, the primary bottleneck stops being individual developer speed and shifts to cognitive load, coordination overhead, and architectural drift . When every team member implements features using their own preferred style ...

The renewal notice arrived sixty days before expiry, as the contract required. It went to a shared mailbox, was read by somebody who assumed the service was still needed, and was approved on the grounds that it had been approved last year. The cost had risen nineteen percent. We were paying for four hundred and fifty licences and using a hundred and ten. And the agreement had quietly acquired, in a schedule appended two renewals earlier, a clause that made the price of leaving considerably highe...

There is feedback you were given once that you decided was wrong. Do not throw it away. It happens to everyone. Someone tells you that you are too blunt in reviews, or too slow to commit to a decision, or that you go too deep into detail in meetings. You think about it honestly and you conclude they have misread you. Maybe they had. Maybe they were measuring you against themselves, or they caught you on your worst week, or they were repeating something they heard secondhand. So you set it ...

We were proud of the canary. Five percent of traffic for fifteen minutes, automated analysis comparing error rate and p95 latency against the baseline pods, promote or roll back with no human in the loop. It had caught four bad releases in six months. Then it promoted a release that corrupted nine hours of the nightly settlement run, and the canary's verdict had been green with wide margins. The release changed how a shared serialiser handled a nullable decimal. The synchronous API almost nev...

How Does a VPN Work? A Simple Guide You have probably heard about VPNs many times. People use VPNs for privacy, security, remote work, gaming, streaming, and accessing websites that may not be available on their network. But how does a VPN actually work? Let's explain it in simple words. What Happens Without a VPN? When you use the internet normally, your device connects to your internet provider first. For example: Your computer → Internet Provider → Website ...
