Following the release of its premium and very expensive $650 The Collexion headphones in May, Sony could be taking its 1000X line of wireless noise-canceling headphones in a cheaper direction next month. The company is reportedly planning a refreshed and more affordable version of its six-year-old WH-1000XM4 headphones that will feature similar performance and specs […]

Some of the biggest names on Google's AI team got new jobs this week. In some cases, including for legendary Googler Jeff Dean, those jobs are no longer at Google. Given that Google's models seem to be behind the best of what's coming out of anthropic and OpenAI, is this a sign of Google in […]

Looking to spend a weekend inside with a good binge? Gruv has The Lord of the Rings trilogy on 4K Blu-ray marked down to $49.99, just below Amazon’s price and only a little bit higher than the all-time low we usually see around Black Friday. This version includes both the original theatrical releases of all […]

Microsoft Edge is ending support for the Manifest V2 extensions platform, which will cut off the uBlock Origin adblocker and others like it, just like Google Chrome did earlier this year. According to Microsoft, there are only 58 extensions on the Edge Add-On Store "with any meaningful usage" that still use MV2, and only three […]

Disney is testing a new AI-powered tool for Disney Plus that uses a natural language search, a voice query, or a suggested prompt to create a customized row of show and movie recommendations. Disney Plus, like other streaming services, can recommend shows to watch based on your viewing history. But the company says this new […]

There’s something magical about using instant cameras that smartphones can’t match. You can capture a moment, print it out, and then give the photo as a gift or hold onto it. Image quality won’t be all that good, but imperfections are part of the allure. We tested instant camera models from popular brands and landed […]

OpenAI says it is pausing "internal activities" around an in-development AI model, Astra, because it doesn't yet meet new security standards the company is putting in place. The announcement follows its recent disclosure that OpenAI models accidentally hacked Hugging Face. Anthropic and Meta have also since admitted that they had AI models that went rogue […]

The appeal of free ad-supported streaming television (FAST) channels has always been the way they make it easier to (re)discover classic films and series. But Roku's latest experiment in the FAST space has less to do with traditionally produced entertainment and is entirely focused on giving viewers access to a constant source of AI-generated content. […]

Framework told "all" of its customers that hackers accessed their names, email addresses, phone numbers, and physical addresses in a data breach.

Cloudflare has introduced Kitesurf, a cloud-hosted browser designed for AI agents instead of people. The company says the browser uses less computing power than Chromium for common automation tasks, helping developers build browser-based AI agents more efficiently.

In Part 01 and Part 02 of this series, we configured local API keys, environment variables, created an offline provider mirror, built our remote state bucket, and provisioned the shared networking layer (VCN, public subnet, route tables, and security lists). Now in Part 03 , we complete the series by building the compute layer across two isolated directories: ~/oci-infra/vm-amd/ — x86 Architecture ( VM.Standard.E2.1.Micro ) ~/oci-infra/vm-arm/ — ARM Ampere Architecture ( VM....

Everything in Azure networking is easy until you connect something to it. It's the joke I open with every time I run a training session on how Azure networking actually behaves behind the scenes, and routing is no exception. I've already written about routing in Azure with UDRs and the risk of building asymmetric paths ( Asymmetrical routing in Azure network ). This post goes one level deeper: modifying the BGP advertisements themselves. That's traffic engineering. It's routine practice in...

Medusa is a strong commerce engine. It owns products, variants, pricing, inventory, carts, orders, and fulfillment, and it exposes all of it through a clean Store API. Once you have the Next.js Starter Storefront running, the commerce half of your site is basically solved. Then marketing asks for a buying guide on every category page, a founder story block on the product detail page, a seasonal landing page that goes live Friday at 9am, and an FAQ section that changes weekly. None of that be...

There's a lot of debate going on right now about whether Artificial Intelligence can write good code. The actual issue is not with the code but the lever you are using to retrieve it. The re-roll is the tell Yes, it's the loop we all know too well. You ask for something, take a look, say "it's not what I had in mind", then ask again, take another look. At a certain moment in time, you've stopped reading the differences. You're simply waiting for the result that seems correc...

If you've been following this series, you've already built a strong foundation. We've explored how to identify responsibilities, model domains, apply SOLID principles, choose the right data structures, and think about Low-Level Design from a problem-solving perspective. At this point, it's natural to ask: "If I already know Object-Oriented Design and SOLID, why do I need Design Patterns?" It's a great question. In fact, it's the same question many developers ask when they firs...

OpenAI is treating its upcoming Astra model as its first critical cybersecurity model under the company's Preparedness Framework. The designation places Astra at the framework's highest cyber-risk threshold and means OpenAI is adding controls for its further development. For developers and enterprise buyers, the announcement matters because it signals that advanced cyber capabilities may be subject to tighter testing, access and deployment decisions before they reach broader users. The co...

A few weeks ago we shipped a general command tool for a local agent, with a deny-list in front of it and a human approval gate behind it. I wrote at the time that the deny-list is the part that looks like engineering and does not hold, because you cannot enumerate the dangerous set. The gate is the part that holds. Someone pushed back with a good refinement. The gate only holds if approval is real state with a lifecycle: requested, then approved or rejected, then consumed, then expired. A con...

I have kept a work journal in Notion since July 2021, five years now. I started it for two reasons: to have details on hand at self-review time, and to stop walking into 1-on-1s trying to remember what I meant to raise. A page for the month, a few lines for the day, sometimes nothing but a branch name so Monday-me could find what Friday-me had been doing. It asked very little of me, and for years that was fine. This year my work became several applications at once, integrations between them, ...

I clocked my VS Code startup time: 4.2 seconds . That's with 34 extensions installed, 11 of which I hadn't touched in six months. So I ran a full audit. Removed, replaced, reconfigured. Startup time after: 1.1 seconds . Here's exactly what I changed and why. Step 1 — The audit process Open the command palette ( Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + P ) and type: Show Running Extensions This shows every extension currently active, its activation time, and which ones are ...

Meta has launched Muse Code, a beta AI coding agent specifically built to navigate and manage complex software assignments within expansive code repositories. This tool utilizes the new Muse Spark 1.2 model to provide persistent assistance for developers working on macOS and Linux platforms during difficult development cycles. Persistent agent architecture and reliability The core innovation of this platform lies in its use of specialized background agents. Unlike traditional AI ...

A claim that 82% of AI-forward marketing teams are growing headcount should not be used as a market benchmark based on the supplied research. The research attributes the figure to a reposted social-media message, but provides no citable primary or credible secondary source for the statistic, its methodology, sample, or definition of an AI-forward team. That leaves the number unsuitable for hiring plans, vendor business cases, or board-level ROI discussions. The broader question remains im...

The context window number in your model's docs is a capacity spec, not a promise. A model that advertises 200K tokens will happily accept 200K tokens, but the quality of what it does with them starts sliding long before you reach that ceiling. If you build production features assuming the whole window works equally well, you will ship bugs that only show up on long inputs. Here is how token budgets actually behave, and how to stop the window from quietly lying to you. The number on t...

My day job, such as it is, involves optimizing simulations and scientific tooling. Right now I'm working on an astrophysical simulation with a group at CUNY. One of the grad students has spent the last few months working on a tool to process the output of a simulation. The output is pretty big, about 200GB for a local test run, probably going into the tens of terabytes once we do a big run on the actual cluster. The tool, which needs to walk the output tables to construct a tree of black hole ...
