Engineering teams are generating more code with AI agents than ever before. But they’re hitting a wall when that code reaches production. The problem isn’t necessarily the AI-generated code itself. It’s that traditional monitoring tools generally struggle to provide the granular, function-level data AI agents need to understand how code actually behaves in complex production…
Calibri and Times New Roman have been at war for years. And now the two fonts are once again pitted against each other after the U.S. State Department declared it will be swapping its current official typeface, Calibri, for Times New Roman. It’s a full-circle moment, considering the State Department ditched Times New Roman for…
Google just made a major move in the AI infrastructure arms race, elevating Amin Vahdat to chief technologist for AI infrastructure, a newly created position reporting directly to CEO Sundar Pichai, according to an internal memo first reported by Semafor. It’s a signal of just how critical this work has become as Google pours up…
Indie game developer Edmund McMillen hosted a Reddit AMA today offering some more details about his upcoming game Mewgenics. For starters, the Steam release date for this turn-based cat-breeding RPG has been slightly delayed to February 10.

So we’re into 6G now, yeesh. 5G — I was a leader on 5G, getting that done, and now they’re up to 6. What does that do, give you a little bit deeper view into somebody’s skin? See how perfect it is. I liked the cameras of the old days. Sort of just had a…
There’s no shortage of generative AI benchmarks designed to measure the performance and accuracy of a given model on completing various helpful enterprise tasks — from coding to instruction following to agentic web browsing and tool use. But many of these benchmarks have one major shortcoming: they measure the AI’s ability to complete specific problems…
The youngest in the workforce are nostalgic for a period they didn’t experience. But was it really all that great? Gen Z’s latest online fixation is the so-called ‘millennial optimism’ era. The TikTok trend sees users posting early-2000s throwback snaps set to The Middle East’s 2009 song “Blood”. Think moustache tattoos, Apple Photo Booth selfies,…
Spotify announced on Wednesday that, for the first time, it’s giving users more control over the streaming service’s algorithm. That’s at least how the company is framing the launch of its new “Promoted Playlists,” a feature that will initially be available to Premium subscribers in New Zealand.

There’s a fundamental question you can ask of both the internet and real life: “How do I enjoy my time here without taking unnecessary risks?” In grass-touching meatspace, you can cut out processed foods, carry pepper spray and avoid skydiving without a partner. But the best methods for staying safe online aren’t as intuitive. The…
I’m convinced that whoever said it’s about the journey, not the destination, has never traveled. Try sitting on a plane for 16 hours — plus delays, airport security, and a snoring seat neighbor — and then get back to me. While getting from point A to point B can feel like a test of endurance,…
