FlowMind earned a 47 Proof of Usefulness score for turning live team meetings into transcribed action items and skills-based task assignments.

Researchers found that a metabolite produced by gut bacteria can weaken the barrier that protects the brain and promote changes associated with the cognitive disease.

From threats to the safety of poll workers to voters who can’t distinguish between odds and results, prediction markets are already scrambling the political process.

El Niño coupled with Saharan dust is making this year’s hurricane season a dud. But there’s still potential for dangerous storms.

This kid-friendly version of Skylight’s digital calendar actually gets my son to complete his nighttime routine in a timely fashion.

I’ve tried most of the ready-to-eat meal delivery services in the country. CookUnity is the one that feels like real cooking, from real chefs.

From surprisingly good $300 Chromebooks to excellent $650 Windows notebooks and more, these are the best budget laptops I’ve tested.

Anthropic has clarified how it's planning to apply invisible watermarks to Claude-generated text in order to comply with Europe's AI transparency rules. On Friday, Anthropic announced that Claude's text marking system is "a version of the SynthID-Text approach" - an open-source watermarking technology developed by Google DeepMind that creates detectable patterns using wording probabilities. This […]

The greatest invention in pet tech in recent years is the litter robot. A machine that scoops your kitties' poop so you don't have to - what else could a cat owner possibly want? How about insights into your kitty's litter box usage that could flag health issues? Sign me up. But I have two […]

Like the pets of any self-respecting millennial, my cats have their own Instagram account. Noodle and Loaf - aka Carb Cats - aren't exactly celebrities. But they are used to having their photos taken a lot. Between their Instagram account, my regular need to test smartphone cameras, and the fact that they are two adorable […]

Scaling test automation across a large platform like Salesforce often leads to flaky tests, duplicated code, and maintenance headaches whenever the UI changes. To tackle this, centralizing element locators into a single source of truth is crucial. Here is a structured guide and reference implementation for organizing CSS and XPath selectors within a Salesforce Test Framework. Why Centralize Your Locators? Single Source of Truth: Centralizing selectors prevents duplication...

IoT systems can tell you what is happening in the physical world. AI can help you understand patterns in the data those systems produce. Put them together, and you get AIoT: Artificial Intelligence of Things. For developers and technology teams, AIoT is more than adding an AI model to an IoT application. It involves connecting devices, data pipelines, analytics, applications, and operational workflows into a system that can turn physical-world data into useful information. This is parti...

Week 11 of my Google Summer of Code journey with CircuitVerse (August 3rd to August 9th) was all about one thing: testing the canonical pipeline against real circuits. This week, Aboo suggested verifying canonical import/export against all the projects in CircuitVerse Editor's Picks . 🧪 Testing the Editor's Picks I created a new editorPicks.spec.ts test file for this. My first approach was to fetch each project's circuit_data through the CircuitVerse API w...

cp crawls. npm install takes forever. The exact same command, run one directory over, is instant. If you've used WSL2 long enough, you may have hit this. This post covers what's actually causing it, and how to find the specific culprit in your own setup — once you know that, the fix is usually obvious. TL;DR: WSL2 itself isn't slow. Crossing the boundary between the Linux filesystem and the Windows filesystem ( /mnt/c ) carries a real, measurable cost, and that cost lands hardest on wo...

Somewhere in MockEvalio's interview flow, the AI kept reaching for some version of "what would you sacrifice to ship this faster?" I don't have a transcript proving that — no log of every follow-up question the model ever generated. What I have is what I did about it: on March 27, I wrote code that explicitly tells the model not to open a follow-up with that phrase, or with its FAANG-persona cousin, "how would you handle the trade-off." Naming a phrase specifically enough to ban it twice, in two...

TL;DR Stablecoin settlement b2b — це використання стейблкоїнів для розрахунків між компаніями, постачальниками, фінансовими установами та платіжними платформами. Найбільша практична цінність моделі — цілодобова доступність переказів, програмованість і можливість рухати кошти між юрисдикціями без прив’язки до банківського робочого дня. Стейблкоїн не усуває валютні, регуляторні, контрагентські та операційні ризики. Він лише переносить частину процесу на іншу інфраструктуру. Для B2B ...

An agent can print thousands of log lines and still leave you unable to answer the one question that matters after a failure: what did it actually do? A useful audit trail is not the same thing as verbose logging. Logs describe observations. An audit trail must let you prove the order of important decisions, detect missing evidence, and distinguish an attempted side effect from a confirmed one. This article shows a small evidence contract you can add around an agent runtime. It is delibera...

Ever run into this? You wrote a detailed technical spec three months ago, and today someone asks "how did we design this module again?" You end up spending 20 minutes hitting Cmd+F across Google Docs, Trello, and README.md files scattered across different repos, or sometimes there's no documentation at all, so you have to dig through the code and reverse-engineer it by eye. TLDR; I built a knowledge-base system for NEXT4I using Obsidian (plain Markdown) together with Git and a VS Code A...

Between deprecation warnings, gem compatibility checks, and the inevitable late-night debugging session, the process can feel like a lot of effort for an uncertain payoff. Having recently taken a mid-sized Rails application from version 7 to version 8, I wanted to share what actually changed on the performance side, because the gains were more concrete than we expected. Faster Boot Times One of the first things I noticed was a noticeably quicker boot process, both in development ...

A love letter to every dev who's ever git add . at 2am and hoped for the best. Let's play a game. Raise your hand if you've ever done one of these: •Hardcoded an API key "just for testing" and forgot about it for six months •Pushed a .env file because .gitignore was in the other branch •Left DEBUG = True in production because "it's fine, nobody's looking" •Used admin / admin123 in a staging environment that turned out to be public •Copy-pasted a Stack Overflow answer that disabled CORS e...

I talk about software supply chain security in different capacities, and I often get the same question: "If we can only do a few things, what should we do first?" This is why I compiled a list of five immediate controls that a technical leader can implement rather quickly, perhaps in a few hours: i. Isolate local AI agents. ii. Freeze unvetted dependencies and disable lifecycle scripts. iii. Use a hardened multi-stage container build. iv. Generate an SBOM and maximum-level provenance ...

The first thing to accept when you point an evaluation harness at a free model endpoint is that you are not changing a benchmark, you are changing the environment. Most score drops that appear immediately after the switch are not evidence of a weaker model; they are evidence that the harness was optimized for a specific combination of prompt wording, output shape, parameter defaults, and retry behavior, and that combination silently changed under you. The first regression is usually ...
