Midjourney has shown more of its futuristic medical scanner. It still hasn't shown much proof it works. The AI startup, best known for generating images, released a behind-the-scenes video of its dunk-tank ultrasound scanner, which it plans to deploy in spas and hopes will transform medicine with cheap, detailed, radiation-free imaging. The nearly 20-minute tour […]

LinkedIn Draft — Insight (2026-07-03) Something I wish someone had told me five years earlier: Distributed tracing: the gap between having it and using it in incidents Most orgs instrument distributed traces correctly and then debug incidents with grep. The investment in tracing pays off only when your debugging workflow changes — when you start from a trace ID instead of a log query. That's a culture change, not a tooling change. Current state (most orgs): Target state:...

For years, developers have faced a common dilemma when building REST APIs: How do you send a complex, read-only query without misusing HTTP methods? If you’ve ever created a /search endpoint using POST simply because your filters were too large for a URL, you're not alone. After decades of discussion, the HTTP protocol finally has a standardized solution: the QUERY method. In June 2026, the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) published RFC 10008, officially introducing the HTTP ...

The agent doesn't just write the code anymore. It runs it. That one change broke an assumption a lot of infrastructure was built on. For years, code that ran in production was code a human wrote and another human reviewed. Now an agent generates a script, executes it, reads the result, and generates the next one. Code execution at this scale is already counted in the billions by the platforms leading the category. Most of it lands on shared-kernel containers, on a managed cloud, with no bound...

Port Mortem 2026 — Rewrite Real Software. Prove It Still Works. The software industry is entering a new era. AI can now rewrite thousands of lines of code across programming languages in minutes. Companies are investing heavily in AI-assisted migrations—from C/C++ to Rust, TypeScript to Go, Python to Rust, and beyond. But there's a major problem. Generating a port is easy. Proving that the rewritten software behaves exactly like the original is hard. That's precisely what P...

Explainable Causal Reinforcement Learning for autonomous urban air mobility routing for extreme data sparsity scenarios I remember the moment vividly—it was 3 AM, and I was staring at a reinforcement learning agent that had just crashed 47 simulated drones into virtual skyscrapers. My research into autonomous urban air mobility (UAM) routing had hit a wall. The problem wasn't just complexity; it was the sheer scarcity of real-world data. In traditional autonomous driving, you have millions o...

I want to be direct about something that most enterprise AI evaluations treat as a secondary concern: a significant number of the AI vendors currently selling enterprise software will not exist in their current form in three years. Some will be acquired. Some will pivot to a different market. Some will run out of runway and shut down. The ones that survive will be the ones that have built something that is genuinely difficult to replicate and have found a customer base willing to pay for it at a...

Why Protobuf for SDUI? Server-Driven UI (SDUI) systems rely on a backend sending a tree of UI components that the client renders dynamically. Most implementations use JSON as the transport format. While JSON is human-readable and flexible, it comes with performance costs that matter in mobile environments: verbose payloads, ambiguous types, and expensive parsing. Protocol Buffers (Protobuf) offers a strongly-typed, binary-serialized alternative that dramatically reduces payload size and...

A payment request showed up in production logs with country: "ROW" at the top level and billing_address.country: "FRA" inside the customer object. Two different countries in the same body. The frontend clearly sent it, but nobody could make it happen again. Every team has a bug like this. The payload contradicts itself, the logs prove it happened, and no amount of clicking through the app reproduces it. That's usually the signature of a timing bug: something failed, or arrived late, at ex...

If you're actively looking for a job, you've probably experienced this. You find a role that matches your skills. You update your resume (or at least think about it). Then comes the application email. You open a blank email and spend the next 10–15 minutes trying to write something that sounds professional, personalized, and different from the last email you sent. Now repeat that process for 20, 50, or even 100 job applications. It quickly becomes one of the most repetitive par...

✓ Human-authored analysis; AI used for formatting and proofreading. Vulnerability management is the fourth domain where the same structural gap produces the same structural failure. The principle says: don't ship vulnerable code. The implementation: scan every container image, every dependency tree, every base layer for known CVEs. Report everything. Demand developers patch everything. Treat every "Critical" finding as an emergency. The scanner found a vulnerability in libxml2 . Is the ...

Zone 2 cardio is the internet's favorite training concept of the last two years. Rogan talks about it. Peter Attia talks about it. Every fitness YouTuber talks about it. Here's what the actual endurance science literature says — and what most of the popular takes get wrong. What Zone 2 actually is Zone 2 refers to a specific intensity of aerobic exercise defined by physiological markers, not just heart rate. The strict definition: the highest intensity you can sustain whil...

Feel free to tell what you plan on doing this weekend and even ask for help or feedback. Please keep in mind it’s more than OK to do nothing at all too!

“It is a direct attack on the rule of law,” says one European Parliament member of the new findings from Citizen Lab.

A government customer of NSO Group used the company's Pegasus spyware to hack into the phone of a European politician, who at the time was serving on an EU committee tasked with investigating the spyware industry.

$0.55 per million input tokens. That is where DeepSeek V4 Pro landed after the June 4, 2026 price cut — down from $2.19. Output tokens dropped from $8.76 to $2.19 per million. For pipelines running millions of tokens per day, that single pricing change can cut your monthly inference bill by 60–70% compared to running equivalent workloads on Claude Sonnet 4.6 or GPT-4.1. The cut was not announced with fanfare. DeepSeek updated their pricing page quietly, and the change propagated through Open...
