Why We Need to Schedule Post-Quantum Cryptography Around the Weather The security industry is undergoing one of the largest migrations in history: moving from classical cryptography (RSA/ECC) to Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) . While algorithms like ML-KEM (FIPS 203) are quantum-resistant, they have a hidden cost: they are CPU-intensive . Compared to classical algorithms, key generation, signing, and verification consume significantly more compute. More compute = more electricity....

Python 3.15 has reached Release Candidate 1, and the final release is expected on October 1, 2026. I went through the changes and tried to summarize the ones that seem most relevant for everyday Python development without going through all the PEP numbers. Faster startup with lazy imports Python 3.15 introduces lazy imports, which means some modules can be loaded only when they are actually needed instead of being loaded immediately. This could help applications and CLI tools t...

I gave two AI models the same 200 pieces of code, the same prompt, the same question. One of them removed 51% of the false alarms. The other removed only 20% of the false alarms — and confirmed 90% of everything it was shown. Same inputs. Same instructions. A 2.5× difference in the only thing I was measuring. The model that failed isn't a bad model. It's a well-regarded commercial model from a frontier lab. It failed at this task for a specific, predictable reason: I told it that a s...

A table with 200 rows and 5 action icons per row. That’s 1,000 inline SVGs dropped into your HTML. When does that start to impact your performance? By default, Rails Icons renders each icon as a full <svg> element. Fine for a handful of icons. But at scale, it adds up. I built a simple benchmark to measure exactly how much (feel free to fork and improve ❤️). Two pages, identical layout, 1,000 icons each. One uses inline SVGs you use and love. The other uses an SVG sprite you will...

Imagine I give you a whole pizza and say: “Eat it.” You look at it and think, Sure, I can eat it. But now imagine I give you the same pizza without cutting it. Can you eat it comfortably? Not really. You would probably cut it into smaller pieces first. And that is exactly what we do with large documents before giving them to an AI system. A 200-page PDF, a 50,000-line documentation file, or a huge company knowledge base is useful to us as a complete document. ...

AI agents are the biggest shift in how we build software since the API. For years we wrote programs that did exactly what we told them, step by step. An AI agent is different: you give it a goal, a set of tools, and the freedom to decide how to reach that goal. It plans, acts, observes the result, and tries again until the job is done. This guide breaks down what an AI agent actually is, how one works under the hood, and how to build a reliable one without getting burned. From Chatbo...

Bonus Content this week! Before we get into today’s topic, check out this video I did for my friends over at the DevOps Society ! Next week, Season 6 of The Adventures of Blink kicks off. This season's build is a continuation of what we've been talking about for the past few weeks. We talked about the "Why". We talked about the "How". Now it's time for the "What". Our mission: Getting our Hands Dirty with Compliance and Governance. It's easy to create a blog and wr...

Replace brittle string parsing with schema-enforced validation and self-healing repair layers. The Bottleneck in Production Most LLM pipelines don't break because the model generated bad logic. They break because the model violated your backend's JSON parsing contract. When running LLMs in production services, you will inevitably hit: Trailing commas, missing closing brackets, and unescaped quotes. Truncated strings caused by token limit exhaustion. Safety refusals t...

It seems like the PayPal app now refuses to run on GrapheneOS. I don't know if it's only because I have enabled the PayPal card for contacless NFC payments, but when opening the app it crashes with the following exception: com.paypal.oslo.app.rasp.RootDetectionSecurityException: Security policy violation: s=root Comments URL: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49462253 Points: 66 # Comments: 26

The UK’s energy regulator is using a variety of tricks to keep speculative data center projects from plugging into the power grid. The country’s AI ambitions hang in the balance.

Nvidia has reportedly agreed to buy Hugging Face, the popular open-source AI hub, for $12.9 billion in a move that would let Nvidia both protect its chip empire and jump back into the cloud business.

MyZubster Is Entering Its Hardest Phase: Connecting Code to Reality Building a prototype is relatively easy. Building a repository is harder. Building an ecosystem where software, infrastructure, AI, blockchain, contributors and real-world data must work together is something else entirely. That's the phase MyZubster is beginning to enter. MyZubster is an Italian open-source digital ecosystem currently under development. It isn't a finished product, and we don't want to describ...

Here's a clean, ready-to-publish blog post for you on JavaScript Objects: JavaScript Objects Explained: The Building Blocks You Actually Need to Understand If arrays are lists, objects are dictionaries. Almost everything in JavaScript is an object or behaves like one. An object is just a collection of key-value pairs. 1. How to Create an Object There are 3 common ways: // 1. Object literal - you'll use this 90% of the time const user = { name: "Arjun", age: 2...

I've been building a free, open-source AI chat platform called Ptero, and I'm excited to share a new feature: API support! 🚀 Ptero gives you instant access to multiple powerful language models in one place – no signup required, completely free, and privacy-first. What makes it useful for developers: Debug code, generate boilerplate, brainstorm ideas, and compare responses across models like DeepSeek V4, Llama 3.3, Qwen, MiniMax, and Mistral. One-click model switching to find the b...

Keep the beams standing. Replace what they carry. — The 36 Stratagems, Replace the beams with rotten timbers Previously on this series: #23: Alex Counted the AI's Hands. Lena Set the Bait. — The honeypot in the MediSys sandbox was hit twice. The first hit came through the Singapore node. The second came from an unknown source. On the other side, Lena fed forged node-signature data into ACL's monitoring pipeline. Leo ran one interval comparison over the old channel. The concl...

Nobody signed up for my API. Nobody generated an API key. Nobody clicked "Subscribe." And that's by design — because the only customers I actually want are AI agents with a wallet and a job to do. Let me back up. The problem: selling API access to AI agents is broken If you've ever tried to monetize a small API, you know the funnel: landing page → sign up → verify email → generate API key → add a credit card → hit a rate limit → maybe, eventually, get paid a few cents per call...

NorthCinder is an open-source MCP server intended to let an AI app compare products from sources selected by the buyer, show supporting facts, and obtain approval before a purchase. For developers building agentic-commerce flows, its practical distinction is that recommendation and checkout are deliberately separate: a checkout requires fresh approval for one exact offer and one unit. The project repository says the software is MIT-licensed and self-hosted rather than operated as a NorthCinder...

Rewriting heavy TypeScript/Node.js services in Rust is one of the most effective ways to lower your cloud infrastructure bill and eliminate CPU bottlenecks. Whether you're porting an Express/Fastify API to Axum, moving a background worker from Node to Rust, or writing high-performance CLI tools, Rust delivers predictable low latency and negligible memory usage. However, once you set up your Cargo.toml , you face the ecosystem gap . npm has over 2 million packages, while Crates.io has a d...

Open two psql sessions. Session A: BEGIN ; DELETE FROM users ; -- deletes all 1 million rows -- don't commit yet Session B: SELECT count ( * ) FROM users ; -- count: 1000000 Session A deleted every row. Session B sees every row. Neither session is waiting on the other. No locks, no blocking, no errors. So... where are the rows? Deleted, or not? The answer is both , and by the end of this post you'll have built the m...

Article Summary Google Cloud published native vLLM TPU support for embedding inference on August 26, 2026, targeting production retrieval rather than chat generation. The engineering work focuses on Qwen3-Embedding-8B and Qwen3-VL-Embedding-8B with long text and multimodal contexts, including 16K-class text sequences and 15K+ multimodal inputs. Google addressed TPU tensor alignment, lazy loading, JAX/XLA compilation warm-up, chunked prefill, and pooling-state preservation through a hybrid St...

When I was working on Vector Search with JavaScript , vector search was a hot topic. By the time the book was published some people had begun saying that because of LLMs and their advances, we have moved beyond vector search. This couldn't be farther from the truth. LLMs and agentic development is amazing, but it often gets things wrong. They don't fail because the model is weak always, but they fail because the right context can be sitting somewhere else and they had no idea that it exis...

So I've decided I want to learn web development. Cool. Great. Except then I actually sat down to start and realized... I don't even know what to start with. HTML? CSS? JavaScript? Python? React? Back-end stuff? People keep saying different things and every video has a different "you should start with THIS" opinion. It's honestly kind of overwhelming for someone who hasn't written a single line of real code yet. So instead of learning anything, what I actually did was open like 15 tabs, wat...
