Better Models: Worse Tools

A rare case where I want to put a post of mine here. Reason being that I was hunting down tool calling behavior regressions with the latest generation of Anthropic models and I found the resulting behavior both puzzling and quite problematic. Those models appear to be strongly RL'ed on their own Claude Code harness which is closed source, and when you come close in tool declarations but slightly off, you can now expect to get broken tool call behavior when older models did not yet have that defe...

White House deletes thousands of web pages about energy conservation as heatwave slams US

The US Department of Energy reportedly deleted about 6,000 pages related to energy conservation as a historic heatwave tears across the country. The deletion was suspiciously timed, following Republican outrage over Mayor Zohran Mamdani asking New Yorkers to help reduce strain on the grid by setting their AC to 78 degrees. Republicans like Ted Cruz […]

Ghost Workers: Why Your Celery Dashboard Lies to You

The scenario you've lived It's 2am. Someone pings you: emails aren't going out. You check Flower. Every worker is green; online, healthy. Queue depth is climbing. Nothing is moving. This is a ghost worker : a process that's alive, but not consuming. What actually happens When a Celery worker reconnects to Redis after a network hiccup, it can end up in a broken state where: It maintains its heartbeat (so Flower shows it as online) It holds its prefetched tasks (so t...

Gemini Robotics-ER 1.6: Physical AI Developer Guide (2026)

Physical AI just crossed a threshold that matters. When Google DeepMind released Gemini Robotics-ER 1.6 in April 2026, the headline benchmark told the story clearly: 93% accuracy on industrial instrument reading — compared to 23% for the prior version and 72% for Gemini 3.0 Flash on the same task. Boston Dynamics has already deployed it on its Spot quadruped robot platform, live for all AIVI-Learning customers as of April 8, 2026.

97.8% of the top 10,000 domains have no MTA-STS. Here's how to be in the other 2%

Of the 10,000 most-visited domains on the web, 97.8% have no MTA-STS policy at all. Not misconfigured. Not weak. Just absent. I scanned the Tranco top 10,000 in June and MTA-STS is the single most-ignored email-security control I measured, by a wide margin. For comparison, in the same scan a third of those domains had no DMARC, which people already treat as a problem worth writing about. Missing MTA-STS is nearly three times as common as that, and almost nobody mentions it. What M...
