Imagine it’s 3 a.m. and your pager goes off. A downstream service is failing, and after an hour of debugging you trace the issue to a tiny, undocumented schema change made by an upstream team. The fix is simple, but it comes with a high cost in lost sleep and operational...
Michigan and Wisconsin are considering proposals that would ban the use of virtual private networks (VPNs) by requiring internet providers to block these encrypted connections. The stated rationale is to control how users access certain online materials, but such a ban would ...
Many organizations are experimenting with AI agents to determine which job roles to focus on, when to automate actions, and what steps require a human in the middle. AI agents connect the power of large language models with APIs, enabling them to take action and integrate...
Every so often there are posts that do the rounds on social media that suggest terrible policy changes are coming. This is happening again, with a message claiming that Meta is going to start using the content of private DMs to train AI. The unfounded claims are being tied...
It is far from uncommon for Microsoft to release an update for Windows that causes problems with the operating system itself. It is also not unknown for Windows updates to cause issues in other software – and this is what some gamers have experienced. In releasing a new...
Apple has announced that its senior vice president for Machine Learning and AI Strategy, John Giannandrea, plans to retire. Having been with the company since 2018, he will serve as an advisor for a short time before moving on in spring next year. While no reason has been...
Amid the hype around AI’s productivity potential, many businesses still face slow adoption among their employees. Pedro Bados, CEO and co-founder of Nexthink, believes that digital employee experience (DEX) tools could help close that gap by giving companies insights...
Qdrant has released Qdrant 1.16, an update of the Qdrant open source vector database that introduces tiered multitenancy, a capability intended to help isolate heavy-traffic tenants, boost performance, and scale search workloads more efficiently. Announced November 19,...

These nightmare-fuel images are photocopies of Russian passport photos, and they look like rejected concept art for an analog horror series for entirely mundane technical reasons. When you photocopy a small passport photo, several things go wrong simultaneously. The copier's ...
There are many possible programmer mistakes that are not caught by the minimal checks specified by the C language; among those is passing an array of the wrong size to a function. A recent attempt to add some safety around array parameters within the crypto layer involved...
On its own, the title of this post is just a true piece of trivia, verifiable with the built-in subst tool (among other methods). Here’s an example creating the drive +: as an alias for a directory at C:foo: […] The +: drive then works as normal (at least in cmd.exe, thi...
It took just under three years, but Google has finally caught up and overtaken its AI competitors. You remember how it was. When OpenAI released ChatGPT at the end of 2022 and created a world-wide sensation, Google was caught napping— and panicked. Despite the fact its...
What do you do if you develop a lightweight browser that doesn’t support JavaScript, but you once chose GitHub as the home for your code? You’re now in the unenviable position that your own browser can no longer access your own online source repository because it requires Jav...
Landlock is a Linux API that lets applications explicitly declare which resources they are allowed to access. Its philosophy is similar to OpenBSD’s unveil() and (less so) pledge(): programs can make a contract with the kernel stating, “I only need these files or...
Netflix, the company that once begged you to chill, now wants you to suffer. It's quietly disabled casting to most TVs unless you're rich, nostalgic, or own a TV older than most pop stars. The company's support site (spotted by Android Authority) now clarifies that casting...
I recently stumbled upon an unsettling sculpture in Paris' Louvre Museum — a stone carving of a woman's corpse, complete with exposed intestines, maggots, and detailed decay. It is the cadaver monument of Jeanne de Bourbon-Vendôme, a French noblewoman who died in 1511. —...
Disney wants you to stop looking at your phone in the parks, so strap a Zuckerberg-powered surveillance headset to your face instead. The big idea? Meta's AI glasses will whisper directions to churros in your ear while quietly recording everything around you, all so you can...
Tesla's trillion-dollar pay package for Elon 'From the Heart' Musk appears to be all optics, as the goals that represent real progress for the company are as unattainable as the popularity he so craves. In reality, Musk faces low odds of garnering any of the higher...
I just spent way too much time browsing Amazon's Japan Store. It's dangerous for anyone who gets excited about well-made office products, tools, toys, and home goods you usually can't find in the United States. The store curates products directly from Japanese companies and...
A Paranoid's History of the United States might be the most intellectually honest conspiracy podcast out there, because host Joseph L. Flatley doesn't pretend the line between documented government malfeasance and fever-dream speculation is always clear. The show occupies a...
