Most "AI email agent" demos end with a triumphant send . The model writes a reply, the code POSTs it, and a real message lands in a real stranger's inbox. That's a great demo and a terrible production default. The moment your agent can send mail with nobody watching, you've handed an LLM a corporate email address and the standing authority to use it. One hallucinated price, one confidently wrong refund promise, one apology to the wrong customer, and you're explaining to legal why a bot signed an email as your company. There's a boring, durable fix that predates AI by decades: don't send — draft. Stage the message, put a human in front of it, and only send once someone with a name and a pulse approves. Email systems have had a "Drafts" folder forever for exactly this reason. The Nylas Drafts API turns that folder into something better — an approval queue your agent writes into and your reviewers drain. This post builds that queue. The agent creates a draft, a human reviews the pending drafts, and an approved draft gets sent byte-for-byte unchanged . No re-rendering, no "the agent regenerates it on approval" race where the thing you approved isn't the thing that ships. I work on the Nylas CLI, so the terminal commands below are the exact ones I reach for, and I'll pair every one with the raw curl so you can wire it into a backend in whatever language you like. This is deliberately not about escalating inbound threads to a human (that's a different problem, where the trigger is a message arriving). Here the trigger is the agent wanting to send , and the gate sits on the outbound path. Why a draft is the right approval primitive You could build approval a dozen ways. You could buffer the agent's output in a queue table and call send later. You could stash a JSON blob in Redis. Both work, and both quietly reinvent something the email stack already gives you. A draft is a real, persisted email object , on the mailbox, with a stable id . That buys you three things a homegr

The ScyllaDB PHP driver is not a C++ extension anymore. As of 1.4.0 it's pure C23, the ZendCPP template layer we leaned on for the object embed and allocate pattern is deleted, and the build no longer needs a C++ compiler at all. Every hand-written .cpp file is a .c file now (71 of them), the descriptor generator emits .c , and CMake builds with c_std_23 and nothing else. That's the biggest change to how this extension is built since we forked it for PHP 8.0. This is also the release where a plan I opened back in 2023 finally landed. PR #50 laid it out: rewrite the src/Cluster directory to be more maintainable, use Zend Fast Argument Parsing, remove some memory allocations, and add .stub.php files that generate the C headers so nobody has to hand-maintain Zend arginfo by hand. 1.4.0 is that plan finished, and a lot more that grew out of it. The things you'll actually feel: persistent session connect() doesn't allocate a 200-character key string on every call anymore, and the minimum PHP is now 8.3 (8.2 is gone). Nothing in your application code changes, this is almost all under the surface. The .stub.php Build The idea from PR #50 was small. Instead of writing ZEND_BEGIN_ARG_INFO_EX blocks by hand and keeping them in sync with the actual method bodies, write the signature once in a .stub.php file and generate the C arginfo from it. In v1.4.0 that's the whole build. There are 75 .stub.php files now, and each one is just the PHP signature of the class: // src/Keyspace.stub.php interface Keyspace { public function name (): string ; public function replicationClassName (): string ; /** @return array<string, mixed> */ public function replicationOptions (): array ; public function hasDurableWrites (): bool ; /** @return Table|false */ public function table ( string $name ): Table | false ; public function aggregate ( string $name , mixed ... $types ): Aggregate | false ; } At build time CMake runs gen_stub.php (vendored from PHP 8.5's build/gen_stub.php , with two small p

Bit by bit, Windows 11 is healing.

Smartphones these days have incredible cameras that are capable of taking smooth, sharp video, but the microphones are often lacking, to say the least. A wireless lavalier microphone can dramatically improve the audio quality of your videos, whether you’re the only one talking, or if you’re getting audio from multiple people. The DJI Mic 3 […]

With residential proxies all the rage, CISA urges router users to be vigilant.

Of all the debates raging about the potential downsides of AI, there is one worry causing the most hand-wringing among AI enthusiasts in Silicon Valley — that the giant AI labs that sell proprietary models are somehow acting like Trojan horses.

Noise-canceling earbuds are great for flights and focusing, but they're not always ideal for outdoor workouts. The last-gen Shokz OpenRun Pro's open-ear design lets you enjoy music while staying aware of approaching cars, cyclists, and other potential hazards, and right now they're on sale for $109 ($50 off) at Amazon, Walmart, and B&H Photo. That […]

This year's Google Pixel 11 lineup might come in a bunch of funky colors. A series of now-deleted Amazon listings spotted by 9to5Google show what appear to be placeholders for Google's upcoming Pixel 11 in hot pink Fuchsia (Hibiscus), vibrant green Moss (Pistachio), and Midnight (Obsidian) black. We've seen two sets of names for the […]

Apple has just released public betas for iOS 27 and other major OS updates that are set to publicly launch this fall. The big new feature this year is Siri AI, the delayed AI-powered revamp to Siri. It actually works - which is big praise! - though it keeps things brief. Other betas available now […]

Try the new Siri AI and system-wide performance improvements.

Siri has been on the Apple Watch since day one, though I'm usually hard-pressed to find people who actually make good use of it. It's kind of just… been there - mostly as a way to set timers when my hands are full. But after playing around with the watchOS 27 developer beta, I get […]

iOS 27 escaped the developer world today with the launch of the first public beta. I've been testing the new operating system since early June, looking for quirks and seeing if it can live up to the hype Apple promised in the keynote. This year's iOS upgrades are what one might call a Snow Leopard […]

The macOS 27 Golden Gate public beta is here, and anyone with an M-series Mac now has easier access to test-drive Apple's latest changes - including a more subdued Liquid Glass aesthetic. That's reason enough to be at least a little excited for macOS 27 (particularly if you're on Tahoe and disliking all the transparency). […]

OpenAI accused of conspiring with former Apple employees to steal trade secrets.

The interesting part here is not AI can generate an app. That part is becoming less surprising. The harder question is what happens after the demo works. My read is that AI has compressed the prototype phase, but it has not removed the production phase. If anything, it exposes weak engineering practices faster. When you use AI-generated code, what do you require before it can reach production? submitted by /u/Few-Garlic2725 [link] [留言]
