Agentic AI is changing the way users get work done. Following the success of OpenClaw, the community is embracing new open source agentic frameworks. The latest is Hermes Agent, which crossed 140,000 GitHub stars in under three months.

Google announced Android 17 and a new line of laptops in a pre-recorded video shown “live” (?) on Tuesday (12th). The Android 17’s highlight is artificial intelligence agents, which has elevated Gemini to “Gemini Intelligence.” The idea of agents performing actions in the background seems appealing to companies. I’m not sure I’d use it. First, because it […]

New legal and regulatory compulsions for web data have significant business consequences. So, how can technologists engineer their company’s risk profile lower?


In our interview, a QA expert warns - before you delegate web scraping quality assurance to AI, make sure you can describe what ‘good’ looks like for yourself.

On April 15, NIST announced a prioritized enrichment model for the National Vulnerability Database. Most CVEs will still be published, but fewer will receive the CVSS scores, CPE mappings, and CWE classifications that container scanners and compliance programs have historically relied on. The change formalizes a drift that has been visible to anyone pulling NVD...




Today's anonymous submitter sends us two blocks. The first is a perfectly normal line of React code: const [width, setWidth] = useState ( false ) This creates a width variable, defaulting it to false, and a setWidth function, which lets React detect when you change the variable, and trigger a re-render. Importantly, this mutation only happens on the next render , which means if you call setWidth and then check width, you won't see yo....

唐宋之变 - blog.est.im - 3 weeks ago - eng
今天午饭,突然想到一个话题,就跟AI聊了一下,感觉挺有意思的 如果用罗马视角代入唐宋之变,有点像东罗马偏安一隅,然后自废武功,然后被蛮族吞掉? 在得到AI差不多的肯定之后,我又提出: 其实古典罗马就是一群军事贵族,先有罗马王后有元老院共和。六镇 关陇 魏博 本质上一回事 还没等到AI掰扯完,我就迫不及待的问: Q: 东罗马有出现宋朝那种有能力打,但是种种原因打不回罗马的情况吗? A: 有,而且还不止一次。东罗马(拜占庭)其实长期都处于一种理论上还有恢复故土能力,但始终差最后一步。这点和宋非常像。最典型的就是 查士丁尼收复战争。 查士丁尼一世 时期,东罗马一度真的快把西罗马“打回来了”。他手下的 贝利撒留 灭汪达尔,收复北非,攻下罗马,击败东哥特。从地图上看,几乎完成“罗马复兴”。 东罗马虽然“能打”,却越来越无法长期维持“征服型帝国”。原因和宋很像:财政压力巨大、瘟疫打击人口、内部官僚体系成本高、精锐军队数量有限、收复区难长期维稳、战....

The Elasticsearch Agent Builder Hackathon showed AI agents built with Elastic tools to solve real-world problems. Winners include PHAROS (drug safety in <60s), Gauntlet (adversarial testing), and a duplicate detection agent for Kenya’s HIV program.

The Elasticsearch Agent Builder Hackathon spotlighted Gauntlet, a top-three project that uses mocking agents to mutate tool calls, expose hidden failures, and improve AI agent reliability.

A multi-agent duplicate detection system built with Elastic Agent Builder addresses the 56% failure rate of manual duplicate detection in Kenya's HIV patient records. It uses tiered risk scoring and specific recs to provide $195K annual savings.

PHAROS is a 4-agent system built with Elasticsearch that automates pharmacovigilance. It detects adverse drug safety signals using WHO-standard analysis, generates regulatory reports, and sends critical alerts in under 60 seconds.

Version 9.4.1 of the Elastic Stack was released today. We recommend you upgrade to this latest version . We recommend 9.4.1 over the previous versions 9.4.0 For details of the issues that have been fixed and a full list of changes for each product in this version, please refer to the release notes .

In short: I just published Open Link in Unloaded Tab , a little Firefox extension that adds “Open Link in Unloaded Tab” to the right-click context menu. In Firefox, you can unload tabs to save system resources. But there’s no way to open a new tab in the unloaded state…until now! I built a very simple extension that adds a new option to do this. (It even has a cute icon which I paid ~$15 for.) I’ve built one-off extensions before, ..

L'articolo si incentra sulla prosa, ma per me si applica a mille attività, incluso programmare.

Today I noticed that a Gitlab scheduled pipeline wasn’t running anymore - it should have automatically. I checked and it wasn’t enabled at all! At first I thought that somebody else on my team had made a mistake and accidentally disabled the scheduled pipeline. So I enabled the pipeline and manually started it. Then I went to check if it was running, but instead it wasn’t running and even disabled again! That’s when I noticed that the..

The Rust performance book features over a dozen different profiling tools. So I’m not sure if the world needed a new Rust profiler. Still, I spent the last 6+ months building hotpath-rs . In this post, I’ll describe the design decisions behind the library and share a few performance challenges I encountered while working on it. We’ll go deep into the low-level details: cache-line contention, async futures instrumentation, and decoding raw ....
