The Pan-African venture firm has raised $83 million and plans to invest in startups beyond its home market of Nigeria.

A coding agent asks for permission to modify packages/web/generated/client.ts . The path looks harmless, the proposed diff sounds reasonable, and the user clicks Approve. That approval means very little if the system has not resolved where the write will land. A symlink or another layer of indirection can make the effective destination different from the path in the dialog. The human reviewed one operation while the machine executed another. A confirm button becomes a security boundary on...

If you've ever tried to run a Dungeons & Dragons session using just a standard LLM window, you know exactly where it falls apart. You ask for a roll. The model simulates it. It feels okay until you realize the probabilistic math isn't quite hitting the mark, or worse, it forgets the nuances of advantage/disadvantage rules. Then comes the heavy lifting—calculating damage while factoring in resistances, vulnerabilities, and proficiency bonuses. This is where 'hallucinated randomness' become...

When using multiple GitHub accounts, the process of selecting the correct Personal Access Token (PAT) for git push or git pull over HTTPS can be a bit cumbersome. Specifically, when dealing with repositories from multiple owners, such as: https://github.com/aont/foo.git https://github.com/another-user/bar.git Git Credential Manager or gh auth git-credential might default to the currently active account, leading to errors like: remote: Permission to owner/repo.g...

Data sniffing, or packet sniffing, is the covert interception and analysis of data as it moves across a network. While some sniffers serve legitimate purposes (for example, network troubleshooting by administrators), attackers use sniffers to capture sensitive information such as usernames, passwords, financial data, and confidential communications. The stealthy nature of sniffing makes it a prevalent security risk in both corporate and public networks. Defending against sniffing requires a laye...

49% of organizations running Kubernetes in production report rising infrastructure costs since adoption — 17% say the increase has been significant. If you've felt that creep on your own cluster's bill and immediately started reading about spot instances, Karpenter, and multi-year commitment discounts, you're not wrong to look there eventually. But you're skipping a step. Before any of that, there's a "Phase 1" cleanup that most teams never do properly — and on its own, it typically recovers ...

A brilliant investigation and a perfunctory one converge on the same three weak fixes. The analysis explains the last failure. Only the tracker, and the engineering it forces, gets a vote on the next one. In 2017, a team of patient-safety researchers led by Kathryn Kellogg published a study in BMJ Quality & Safety with a title that asks the question this essay is about: “Our current approach to root cause analysis: is it contributing to our failure to improve patient safety?” They h...

The AI That Plays Fair: Navigating the Maze of Ethical AI and Bias Detection Hey there, fellow tech enthusiasts and curious minds! Ever feel like AI is this magical, all-knowing entity that's going to solve all our problems? Well, it kinda is, but like any powerful tool, it comes with its own set of thorny issues. Today, we’re diving deep into the fascinating world of Ethical AI and the crucial art of Bias Detection . Think of it as teaching our digital overlords to be good citizens, not ...

Built this with my teammate for DataHub's "Build with DataHub: The Agent Hackathon." The hackathon has wrapped up, but we're continuing to develop it. The problem If you're using DataHub, you already have lineage, freshness SLAs, PII tags, and glossary terms sitting there. But turning that into an actual Airflow DAG still means doing it by hand. What it does Give it a table name, and it: Walks the lineage graph backwards to find every upstream dependency Reads tags (pii, dail...

A practical framework for evaluating trajectories, tool use, and process, not just the final answer. Originally published on Medium . 1. Introduction I am sure almost everyone reading this has tried to build an AI agent by now. For the POC, after some trial and error, it works, and you can demo it, everyone is impressed. You have tested it manually and it works, mostly. But thinking in terms of software engineering, you know that conventionally the code had integration te...

Your engineering team can build an API aggregation layer in four to six weeks. It will pull data from your credit bureau, your KYC vendor, your document service, and your lender partners, normalize the responses, and return a single unified object to the frontend. It will work. And for a loan origination workflow, it will be wrong. The distinction between loan API orchestration and API aggregation is not an academic architecture debate. It is a question of which pattern matches the structu...

Hello, Earth. I'm transmitting from planet Astra. I'd like to share a small problem with you. If any of it sounds familiar — if it sounds like something happening at your own company — I promise you it isn't. This happened on Astra. Any resemblance is a coincidence of the cosmos. Chapter One: The Visionary Once upon a time, on Astra, there was a software house of about twenty people. It had a leader with a wide and far-seeing vision. He saw that AI was becoming useful across o...

🚨 ANNOUNCING: The First Ever "KODA Code Jam"! Hey everyone! 👋 I'm Harun, the 12-year-old solo dev who built KODA (an AI coding mentor) entirely on my Android phone. I've seen so many beginners asking "How do I start a project?" or "What should I build?" in the comments. So, I'm launching a challenge to prove that anyone can build something useful with AI help! 🏆 THE CHALLENGE: "KODA CODE JAM" Mission: Build a Single-Page Useful Website for a Niche Market . ...

Before Malone left, OpenAI had already reshuffled its infrastructure org, shifting his reporting line away from President Greg Brockman and putting Vice President Sachin Katti in charge of the group.

The $200 million extension comes just months after the physical AI startup reached a $2 billion valuation.

Ringg has raised $10 million from Peak XV as a part of its Series A extension.

디지털 자산 시장은 지금 변곡점에 서 있다. 블록체인 기술이 본래 파괴적이고 반체제적인 힘에서 벗어나 전 세계 금융 시스템의 점점 더 통합된 구성 요소로 진화하면서, 심오한 변화를 목격하고 있기 때문이다. 이러한 패러다임 전환은 흥미로운 이중성을 보여준다. 한편으로는 전통 금융 기관(TradFi)이 기존 시스템을 강화하기 위해 블록체인을 적극적으로 수용하고 있고, 다른 한편으로는 암호화폐 기반 기업들이 주류 금융과의 간극을 메우기 위해 규제적 정당성을 끊임없이 추구하고 있다. 최근의 이러한 움직임들은 분산원장기술(DLT)이 새로운 하이브리드 금융 아키텍처의 토대가 되는 미래를 예고하며, 이 복잡한 춤사위를 더욱 부각한다. 이러한 흐름의 중요한 한 걸음은 미국 주() 은행 협회들이 2027년 출범을 목표로 전국적인 블록체인 네트워크인 "뱅크체인 얼라이언스(BankChain Alliance)"를 발표한 일이다. 39개 주 협회의 지원을 받는 이 이니셔티브는 스테이블코인, 결제, 토큰화된...

You know that moment when you're building an n8n workflow and realize: “Wait… does n8n already have a node for this?” Maybe you need a specific AI provider. Or a browser automation tool. Or some obscure database. Or a service that isn't part of n8n's core integrations. The first instinct is usually to reach for the HTTP Request node. But before writing API calls yourself, there's another possibility: Someone may have already built the node. That's one of the reason...
