A longtime AWS insider, Werner Vogels, breaks down the shift from slow-and-steady software growth to the generative AI rocket ride. Capabilities soared. Guardrails? Not so much. No docs, no handrails - just launch and learn. AWS didn’t chase the hype. It pulled a classic AWS move: doubled down on B2..

Advanced PostgreSQL tuning gets real results: composite indexes and CTEs can cut query latency hard when slicing huge datasets. AddLATERALjoins and indexed subqueries into the mix, and you’ve got a top-N query pattern that holds up—even when hammering long ID lists...

Walrusis a lock-free, single-nodeWrite Ahead Log in Rustthat rips through a million ops/sec and moves 1 GB/s of write bandwidth - on bare-metal, nothing fancy. It leans on mmap-backed sparse files, atomic counters, and zero-copy reads to get there. Each topic gets its own line of 10MB memory-mapped ..

SteamPipe just gutted its real-time storage engine and rebuilt it inRust. Expect faster performance and better scaling. Now runs oncolumnar storage, ships withvectorized queries, and rolls anobject store-backed WAL. Serious firepower for time series data. System shift:Another sign that high-throughp..

A developer built a razor-sharp TLS fingerprinting and blocking tool - all in kernel space - witheBPFandXDP. It hooks into incoming packets, scrapes TLS Client Hello messages, and cranks out simplified JA4-style hashes from their cipher suite lists. The fun part? It's running under tight stack limit..

A researcher rolled their ownChromium forkwith a customDevTools Protocol (CDP) domain- not for fun, but to surgically probe browser internals. It reaches into Canvas, WebGL, and other trickier APIs, dodging the usual sandbox and spoofing all the bot blockers they'd rather you leave alone. It injects..

OpenAI’sAgent Builderdrops the guardrails. It’s a no-code, drag-and-drop playground for building, testing, and shipping AI workflows - logic flows straight from your brain to the screen. Tweak interfaces inWidget Studio. Plug into real systems with theAgents SDK. Just one catch: it’s locked behind P..

Modal cuts the drama out of deep learning ops. Devs write Python like usual, then fire off training, eval, and serving scripts to serverless GPUs - zero cluster wrangling. It handles data blobs, image builds, and orchestration. You focus on tuning with libraries like Unsloth, or serving via vLLM...

UiPath just droppedAgent Builder in Studio- a legit development environment for AI agents that can actually handle enterprise chaos. Think production-grade: modular builds, traceable steps, and failure handling that doesn’t flake under pressure. It’s wired forschema-driven prompts,tool versioning, a..

New product, Serverless RL, available through collaboration between CoreWeave, Weights & Biases, and OpenPipe. Offers fast training, lower costs, and simple model deployment. Saves time with no infra setup, faster feedback loops, and easier entry into RL training...
