The worst problems don't always come with a warning. Sometimes they arrive through a service everyone trusts, a device someone bought, or a system nobody thought to check. By the time something looks wrong, the damage may already be done. This week had plenty of that. Trusted connections became a problem. Hardware wasn't as safe as it looked. Old bugs found new victims, and some systems were

Choosing the right framework for your large language model application comes down to one question: what are you actually optimizing for?

A hacker broke into more than 100 websites using an army of AI agents that mostly operated on their own, according to findings from the AI security firm Norforge. Though Norforge doesn't name the targets, Reuters reports that the victims included companies like John Deere, SharkNinja, and Cummins. Concerns over AI-powered cybersecurity breaches have grown […]

Hi all, So I have been working on this project KiviDB from February 2026. It started as a project for me to understand rust, having a product with no GC pauses, memory blow up after snapshots and getting OOM on running pods, and that was actually an issue I faced with Dragonfly. I wanted to have something picking the best of Rust, but also picking the best parts of other alternatives like Garnet and Dragonfly. I used AI a lot, but I was the one making the design decisions based on the tests that

This is a little thing I built: it's a visually pleasing office with AI agents working on GitHub repositories and submitting pull requests. They are getting issues, reproduce them and then fix them. I was using it privately in a Discord call and many people requested a public open-source version, so I got Claude Opus 5.5 to rewrite the entire code in Rust. It's available as a service on macOS, Linux and Windows. In my use case I use it to make PRs for ArtCraft, the Adobe Suite clone that is vira

I’ve always been facinated by talks on erlang and elixir. It was intriguing to me how Erlandson was used to do amazing fault-tolerant deployments of cell phone technology, how it could do live software patching etc. I haven’t had the time since I heard about it to really try and build something similar in a language I enjoyed so I turned to Claude and built as many erlang/beam features into a golang superset I guess you could say. I wanted something that was practically go but had erlang paradig

Agility Robotics , the company I cofounded out of my robotics lab at Oregon State University in 2015, has just launched Digit 5 . It’s designed to be the first humanoid robot that can safely and economically do useful work at scale, allowing us to bring tens of thousands of humanoid workers into the real world. Engineered to lift 23-kilogram bins onto high shelves and with a battery that can run for 90 minutes on a 9-minute charge, Digit 5’s goal is to handle heavy warehouse tasks shift after sh

Developers are familiar with running coding agents locally through harnesses like Pi, Claude Code, and others. They are reliable daily drivers for generating code, but keeping agents running around the clock requires your computer to be on and awake, which led to the laptop lid memes and Mac mini demand spike. Running harnesses in the cloud Harness workloads are moving to the cloud. Individual developers are deploying always-on coding agent workflows, projects like OpenWork and HanaAgent use ope

In Salesforce Agentforce, the recommended way to make an agent respond to events is a Flow: a record is created or a case is updated, and the Flow passes data into the agent's prompt. Separately, Email-to-Case and Web-to-Case turn inbound customer messages into case records; it is how airlines and hotels run support intake. Both are standard, documented, as-designed features. Chained together,
