Google basically confirms the Pixel 11 is getting a price hike

Google's Vice President of Devices and Services, Shakil Barkat, all but confirmed in an interview with 9to5 Google that its next Pixel phone would cost more than the Pixel 10. Considering the ongoing RAM supply issues due to the explosion of AI data centers, the rumored price hike is not a complete surprise. Companies from […]

Nodlyn — Visual Workflow Automation with Native Industrial and IoT Protocol Discovery

Hi dev.to, I've been building Nodlyn, a visual workflow builder with one specific obsession: it auto-discovers devices — industrial PLCs, smart home gadgets, whatever's on the network — and lets you wire them into automations without knowing the protocol underneath. The gap I kept hitting Most no-code automation tools (Zapier, Make, n8n) are built for connecting SaaS apps to each other. That's a solved problem. What isn't solved: connecting a Siemens S7 PLC, a Modbus temperature sensor, or...

1,377 frames in, 60 out, and none of them knew what time it was

A user opened an issue on my open-source video tool last week that named a gap I had been shipping around for months. He runs lectures through crv so an LLM can read them. One 22-minute lecture: 1,377 candidate frames extracted, 60 kept after dedup and --max-frames thinning. The 60 frames come out in the right order. That is all they come out with. His complaint, in one line: the LLM can describe the slide, but it cannot tell you when the slide was on screen. That breaks more than it ...

MCP in enterprise: access control and audit logging

MCP in enterprise: access control and audit logging Ship an MCP server at a company with compliance requirements and you will hit the same wall every team hits: the protocol connects your AI agent to tools beautifully, and it gives you almost nothing to control what that agent is allowed to touch once it is connected. That gap is not a bug. MCP was built to solve connectivity, not governance. But if your agent touches a database, a ticketing system, or a support inbox with real customer d...

4 Clusters do Clean Code Principles

Introdução O termo virou disciplina formal com o livre de Robert C. Martin, conhecido por “Uncle Bob”, Clean Code: A Handbook of Agile Software Craftsmanship (2008), nascido do movimento ágil/XP no fim dos anos 90 como reação aos projetos que afundavam sobre o peso do próprio código, a motivação não é estética, é econômica. O próprio Martin cita que a proporção entre tempo lendo código e tempo escrevendo código é “bem acima de 10 para 1”, e Robert Glass, em Facts and Fallacies of S...

One Cache Miss, Fifty Database Calls

Your cache hit rate can be 99% and your database can still fall over. I got reminded of this during a load test recently: the dashboard showed a wall of cache hits, and yet the database briefly lit up with a burst of identical queries. Same key, same query, fifty times, all inside a couple hundred milliseconds. That burst has a name, cache stampede, and the annoying part is that the standard IMemoryCache pattern we all write does nothing to stop it. So I built a small demo to catch it in th...

Quantization vs Distillation

📺 Prefer to watch? 90-second YouTube Short · 💬 Telegram Originally published on software-engineer-blog.com . Your model works. It's just too big to ship. You have two standard paths to shrink it — and they are nothing alike. Mental model: Quantization is compression; distillation is re-education. One shrinks the same brain, the other builds a smaller one that imitates the original. Quantization: Same Brain, Fewer Bits Quantization takes your trained mo...

Cluster 1 do Clean Code: #1 consistência, #2 nomes, #3 estilo, #4 métodos/classes/arquivos pequenos, #6 complexidade ciclomática

Introdução Esse é um material que depende de leitura anterior. Recomendo ler o artigo introdutório antes de prosseguir. Como já dito anteriormente: a restrição aqui não é de gosto, é de hardware. A memória humana de trabalho segura certca de 7±2 "pedaços" de informação simultâneos. O que isso significa de fato? Uma função com 8 variáveis e 6 caminhos de decisão ativos exige que quem lê segure mais estado na cabeça do que ela fisicamente comporta. O erro de interpretação não é falta de a...

From Policy to Pipeline: Making Compliance an Engineering Property

Part 4 of "Trust the Machine" —> a series on building AI infrastructure that is secure, compliant, and governable by design. The thread that ties the series together The preceding posts addressed three engineering problems: seeing the AI systems in an environment, containing autonomous agents, and governing the data beneath them. This final post addresses the discipline that ties them together and, increasingly, compels them: regulatory compliance. Three frameworks now ...

Why we chose "structured assessment + AI analysis" over a chatbot for PotenAI

When we started building PotenAI, the obvious move seemed like a chatbot — user talks to an AI, AI figures out their career fit through conversation. We actually prototyped this direction early on. We moved away from it. Here's why. Open-ended conversation is hard to keep focused, and it's even harder to turn into a consistent, comparable output. Two users answering the same underlying questions in a free-form chat can produce wildly different signal quality — one gives you three paragraph...

Show HN: I made some transistor animations

Hi HN, I made some animations of the most important kinds of transistors using my semiconductor simulation, details of which are on the page. I tried to make the visuals as realistic as possible while also aiming for clarity. If you want to go beyond the charge carriers and look at, for example, the electric field, you can do so in the simulation software. The desktop software also has less common devices like IBGTs and SCRs that have similar animations. The last thread about my software was pos...
