Authors discuss their approach to scaling generative recommendation models from O(1M) to O(1B) parameters for Netflix tasks, improving training stability, computational efficiency, and evaluation methodology. They address challenges in alignment, cold-start adaptation, and deployment, proposing syst.. read more  

A new way to build agents treats prompting ascontext navigation, steering the LLM through ideas like a pilot, not tossing it prompts and hoping for magic. It maps neatly onto Steven Johnson’s seven patterns of innovation. For coding agents to actually pull their weight, users need to bring more than.. read more  

AI speeds up dev - but it’s a double-edged keyboard. It sneaks in subtle bugs and brittle logic that break under pressure. To keep things sane, teams are fighting back withguardrail patterns,AI-aware linters, andtest suites hardened for hallucinated code... read more  

Cloud-native breaches keep slipping through the cracks, not because no one’s watching, but because they’re watching the wrong things. Static checks and posture tools can’t catch what happens in motion. That’s where most attacks live now: at runtime. Think app-layer exploits, poisoned dependencies, s.. read more  

Researchers pulled off a slick persistence trick usingAWS CLI aliases. They chained dynamic alias renaming with command execution to swipe credentials, without breaking expected CLI behavior. No red flags. Perfect fit forautomated environmentslike CI/CD pipelines. Backdoors, no AWS CLI tampering req.. read more  

A seasoned Google engineer drops 21 sharp principles for scaling engineering beyond just writing code. Think:clarity beats cleverness,users over egos,alignment over being “right.”The core message? Build systems humans can work with - especially under stress. Favorites: kill pointless work, treat pro.. read more  

When managing infrastructure with Terraform, enforcing tagging standards, instance type restrictions, preventing public exposure, enforcing regions, and other best practices are essential with Open Policy Agent (OPA). OPA evaluates Terraform plans before apply to ensure compliance with organization'.. read more  

Azure just tightened the screws on Hybrid Benefit. Use it without the rightSoftware Assurance, botch yourlicense-to-core mapping, or skipdecommissioning proof, and you’re staring down $50K+ in penalties. To help dodge that landmine, Microsoft dropped a new guide. It covers pre-migration checks, audi.. read more  

Linus Torvalds argues that Linux kernel guidelines should treat AI like any other development tool, not as a special case, saying documentation cannot solve bad submissions. At the same time, he openly acknowledges using an AI coding tool in a personal project, signaling pragmatic acceptance of AI-assisted development outside core kernel policy.
