A “dog as a skateboard” AI clip had about 3.2 million views on TikTok when I checked on September 6, 2026. I wanted to see if an Agent could extract the visual logic, rebuild it from a brief, and carry the result through a local production workflow. To be clear: the 3.2M views belong to the reference clip, not to my recreation. TL;DR I used the viral clip as a reference for an impossible visual premise, not as source footage. The most important prompt decision was reducing...

I went into our pricing database expecting a boring answer. We track the plan-by-plan cost of a large catalog of software, and I wanted to know a simple operational thing: when an Indian company pays for these foreign tools, how many of them hand over a proper GST invoice, the kind your accountant can actually use? I could confirm the answer for 120 dollar-billed tools. Eight of them issue an Indian GST invoice. The other 112 do not. That number bothered me enough to go figure out why, bec...

The European Union has opened seven new cybersecurity funding calls worth a combined €96 million under the Digital Europe Programme. Managed by the European Cybersecurity Competence Centre (ECCC), the calls cover AI-powered cybersecurity tools , support for European SMEs using cybersecure AI solutions, preparedness testing, submarine cable resilience and other capacity-building projects. The call package, formally titled DIGITAL-ECCC-2027-DEPLOY-CYBER-11 , opened on 1 September 2026. Prop...

Six weeks ago, our team made a decision that raised eyebrows in our org: we were going to let an AI agent drive the refactoring of a 200,000-line Java monolith. Not assist. Not suggest. Drive. We'd give Claude Code a CLAUDE.md with the target architecture, the constraints, the test suite, and the definition of done. We'd run it in autonomous mode overnight. Engineers would review in the morning. I'm writing this because the results were not what any of us predicted — not the optimists...

Part of the TechAarvam workshop support files — Build Your Own Model . Attention is simpler than you think A hand-crafted superhero transformer This notebook presents a hand-crafted example. The goal is to understand the intuition behind the attention block in the transformer architecture. Attention and FFN are the two main components. FFN is an Artificial neural network (ANN) with 1 input, 1 hidden, and 1 output layer. So we start constructing the FFN's job ...

I've started running a small, ongoing experiment on myself: how do I actually improve the quality of my own work, and more specifically, how do I hand an AI agent the kind of product context that makes it build the right thing instead of a confident guess dressed up as a spec. This piece is the first real result of that. I want to show you something instead of just claiming it. So here's an actual experiment, run once, with the real output pasted in, not paraphrased or cleaned up after the fa...

INTRODUCTION After learning storing single values in variables, We needed a way to hold collection of data i.e multiple ride counts multiple cities etc. Python offers four main data structures for this that is: LISTS A list is a built-in data type used to store multiple items in a single variable. A list can be changed and allows addition of more items It can also contain items of different data types Lists also preserve and allows duplicate values ![ ]( https://dev-...

Every Compose file I have written for a real app has the same two services in it that aren't really services. One runs the migrations. One seeds the database. They exist because something has to run before the app and Compose had no way to say that, so you fake it with depends_on and a condition and hope nobody runs docker compose ps -a . Compose 5.3 shipped pre_start in July. It is the thing I have been faking for years, so I spent an evening on it with a Postgres 18 container and a sma...

Xiaomi is the latest manufacturer to release a short, wide foldable phone, in the week Apple is expected to do the same. I got to try the 18 Fold behind closed doors at IFA last week, and while it looks and feels similar enough to Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 8, superior specs make it feel […]

Dynoxide has had DynamoDB vector search since 1.0.0 landed on the 25th of August: vector indexes, SearchVectors , and the write paths keeping them current. It's on the native binary, the browser build and the MCP server, so an agent can create an index and search it without any of that reaching AWS. I announced it at the time and then went on holiday instead of writing it up. This is the write-up, plus 1.1.0, which landed on the 3rd. The index says ACTIVE about fifteen minutes e...

A recommendations service, which is genuinely optional, started responding slowly. Not failing. Responding, in ninety seconds instead of eighty milliseconds. Within four minutes the product catalogue was down, then checkout, then the mobile API. An optional feature took out the entire storefront, and the recommendations service never once returned an error. The catalogue called recommendations with a client constructed as a default instance. No connect timeout, no socket timeout, because the ...

If you are tired of writing hundreds of lines of traditional CSS files, naming endless classes, and jumping back and forth between your HTML and stylesheet, Tailwind CSS is the modern solution you need. In this quick guide, we will explore what Tailwind CSS is, why full-stack and frontend developers prefer it, and how to get started with a simple responsive example. What is Tailwind CSS? Tailwind CSS is a utility-first CSS framework . Unlike component-based frameworks li...

"We have TLS everywhere." It appears in every architecture review and every compliance questionnaire. The gap is not in the intention — it is in the implementation. Most systems that claim TLS everywhere have TLS at the edge and plaintext everywhere else: the ingress controller to the pod is HTTP, pod-to-pod traffic is unencrypted, and the application-to-database connection string never had Encrypt=True or sslmode=require set. None of these gaps appear in architecture diagrams. This post ...

Tune a guitar perfectly to a digital tuner, play a full open major chord, and something is still faintly off — a slow shimmer in the sound. The tuner isn't wrong, and neither is your ear. They're using two different definitions of "in tune," and the distance between them is a fixed, computable number. Two definitions of "in tune" A digital tuner uses equal temperament : the octave is divided into twelve exactly equal steps of 100 cents each (a cent is 1/100 of a semitone). T...

Mistral AI has expanded its sovereignty-focused AI platform with regional inference endpoints, support for third-party open-weight models and a proposed European compute coalition. Announced on August 11, 2026, the changes are designed to give customers more control over where inference runs, which models they use and how they plan capacity for critical workloads. The important point is that this is not a single model release. In its official announcement on regional inference, open models a...

As a student majoring in Computer Systems, Networking, and Applications (SIJA), the main challenge I frequently face when completing practical assignments is ensuring that web applications remain fast, stable, and secure against potential cyber threats. Before discovering an all-in-one platform, optimizing server performance and network security required a considerable amount of time because it involved configuring multiple separate services, from managing servers and setting up encryption certi...

Samsung is reportedly in talks to invest hundreds of millions of euros in Mistral AI as part of a fundraising round that could value the French AI company at around €20 billion . The discussions, reported in July 2026, also reportedly involve EQT's Scaleup Europe Fund. Crucially, the available reporting describes an ongoing fundraising process, not a completed Samsung-led transaction. For businesses following the AI market, the immediate significance is less about a confirmed change to Mis...

A friend of mine decided last spring that he was finally going to write down his coding standards so the AI would stop handing him components that looked like they came from four different projects. He opened a markdown file, typed a heading, sat there for maybe ten minutes, and then went and did something else. When I asked him about it a few weeks later the file was still open in a tab somewhere with nothing under the heading. That happens to almost everyone who tries this. "Write down your...
