A sharp teardown ofWindows vs. Unix file deletion semanticslands on this: Windows leans on read-write locks; Unix rolls with a looser, non-blocking vibe—more likeweakly-isolated DB transactions. It trades consistency for concurrency, dodging locks even if it means the rules get fuzzy. The post zoom..

Turso just dropped the alpha of itsRust-based SQLite rethink—rewritten from scratch to handle today’s mess:async APIs,built-in vector search, and actualconcurrent writes. Forget the old SQLite playbook. Turso’s version leans into modularity, bakes in deterministic tests, and still aims for SQLite-l..

RudderStack crankedPostgreSQLup to100K events/secas a queuing engine. The secret sauce: tight tuning of job partitioning, smarter indexing, tuned VACUUM timing, and compaction that didn't choke. Recursive CTEs stood in for loose index scans. Caching cut I/O repeats. They ditched byte slices to side..

OpenAI’s rewritingCodexinRust, ditching the oldTypeScriptversion. Why? To ship it as a single static binary—no messy installs, no glue code juggling. Just run. Rust cuts down runtime failures, trims the attack surface, and kills off toolchain sprawl. Less fragility. More control. System shift:Team..

Most Americans now see AI as a threat to their livelihoods, with71% fearing it could permanently wipe out jobs. The findings come from a new Reuters/Ipsos poll, which shows widespread anxiety across the US as AI threatens job security and challenges the future of employment. The World Economic Forum..

OpenAI walked back its latest release after users flaggedGPT-5for sounding flat, hallucinating more, and losing creative spark. The fix? Rolling back to the friendlierGPT-4o. Head-to-head tests told a nuanced story:GPT-5nailed accuracy and structure across most prompts. But when the task called for..

A new demo walks through buildingTiny Agents in Python—just ~70 lines using theModel Context Protocol (MCP). No boilerplate. Just clean LLM-to-tool hookups with standardized agent configs. Agents plug into multiple MCP servers out of the box—from local filesystems to Playwright browsers—and handle ..

Failures make great teachers—especially for LLMs. Stuffing failed attempts right into the prompt helps agents recalibrate. It nudges their internal priors, cuts down on repeat mistakes, and sparks smarter behavior...

MCP’s blowing up across platforms—but the security? Still sketchy. Think tool description injection. Botched OAuth. Open doors to supply chain attacks. The new MCP 2025-06-18 spec tries to clean house (no token passthrough, mandatory user consent), but most real-world setups either drag their feet ..

Modern AI broke the rulebook. By spitting outstochastic outputs from unbounded inputs, it flipped software dev from a game of precision to one of probability. Old tools—funnels, SLO dashboards, crisp A/B tests—don’t quite fit anymore. They were built for systems that behaved. Today’s AI stacks mov..
