The biggest smartphone makers keep on trucking in the face of component shortages and economic uncertainty.

A dozen state attorneys general filed an antitrust lawsuit to stop the Paramount / Warner Bros. Discovery merger.

A Tesla representative at a DC hearing said the vehicle is “an active product being built.” But its timeline isn’t clear.

General Fusion started trading on the Nasdaq following a reverse merger that saw high redemptions.

The states allege that the deal would harm movie theaters, basic cable distributors, and audiences.

When Apple employees interviewed for jobs at OpenAI, the AI startup's hardware head allegedly asked them to show up with something unusual: components they were working on and unreleased product samples. That's according to a blockbuster lawsuit filed by Apple, which accuses OpenAI of stealing confidential documents, spying on hardware prototypes, and tricking one of […]

The amendment would restrict building codes that promote electrification.

What does a world of total user-aligned AI actually look like?

"It's very clear that in the United States there is a big need for an additional crew vehicle."

There is a growing sentiment in engineering circles right now that documentation is a relic of the past. The argument usually goes something like this: We’re living in the era of agent-driven development. If an AI agent can read the raw source code or parse an OpenAPI specification instantly, why waste human engineering hours writing prose? Code churns too fast anyway, and human-written docs are outdated the second they’re committed. It’s an attractive, black-and-white view of the world. It’s also completely wrong. Chasing strict determinism in your source of truth is a pipe dream. Code and specs tell a system how something works, but they are fundamentally incapable of explaining why it was built that way in the first place. The Intent Gap: Why Code Isn't Enough Even if you’re building entirely for a downstream consumer of AI agents, there is a massive, structural gap between a raw API specification and an operational reality. Agents are phenomenal at pattern matching and syntax execution, but they struggle with architectural philosophy and human intent. We still need words to contextualize the boundaries. A spec can define an endpoint, its parameters, and its payload. What it can't capture is the nuance of why a specific architectural trade-off was made, or the implicit historical context of a legacy edge case. Prose provides the guardrails for non-deterministic systems. Even if that prose is ultimately consumed by a machine rather than a human, the written word remains the highest-leverage way to transmit intent. The Danger of Slop Describing Slop This doesn't mean we need to return to the days of manually maintaining massive, static wiki pages. Automation has a massive role to play here. Cascading automation—where documentation is dynamically generated alongside code changes—is incredibly powerful. But there’s a trap here: slop describing slop is entirely useless. If we completely hand off documentation generation to unchecked LLMs, we end up with a feedback loo

I believe AI will be another service like the internet or a cell phone, and it's important to use it correctly by adding the right context, being aware of token usage, and following your own process. For this reason some months ago I finished different courses about how to use Claude: A course with Ivan Davidov and a small contribution from Debbie O'Brien, on setting up agents with Playwright. The anthropic Claude courses I checked the Addy Osmani Agent skills repo and checked his courses on linkedin. And I am taking the Mosh Hamedani course Claude Code for Professional Developers and finished other claude skills course. Also, in one of the jobs, I used skills developed by other QAs. I initially struggled with complex queries and generating API automation test cases due to the complexity of the user stories. But after some feedback from the agents and the user stories were clearer and with more context, like including the legacy stored procedure or checking the PR code, I got better results using the skills with GitHub copilot. It's better to create your own agents with your rules and process. You need a framework with concrete coding rules and conventions, for your test cases. For example, for test cases, I prefer critical user journeys with detailed steps and assertions in bullet points, rather than 10 tests that test a small part of the real user flow. For automation frameworks, I like to follow these rules: Create components such as grid, combo, and calendar instead of helpers with that functions. All elements on the page object model class only contains the elements with the components and general functions. On spec file I access the elements of the component like loginPage.loginButton.click() instead of create a LoginClick on the Page class. For the selectors I prefer getByRole because I think it is better for accessibility, and the user sees buttons and text instead of complex xPaths or data-test-ids. Add assertions that I can reuse in several tests on the pa

How I shipped structured JSON logging + Prometheus metrics with zero new dependencies I almost added structlog and prometheus_client to my pyproject.toml . Then I read what they actually do. Both libraries are excellent. structlog is the right call when you have a 30-engineer team shipping 50 services. prometheus_client is the right call when you have five teams of consumers scraping different metrics. For a single-author Python project with one process and one user, both are over-engineered. The 80 lines of code I would have pulled in, I can write in 200. The result: zero new runtime dependencies, full control over the output, and a smaller pip install footprint for every user. Here is what I did instead. The minimum useful observability surface A small Python service needs four things, in order of importance: Every log line is one JSON object. (No parsing for downstream tools.) Every request has a trace id. Every log line in that request carries the same trace id. (So you can grep by id and see the whole story.) Every log line goes to stderr. (So journald , Docker, and kubectl logs all see it without any extra configuration.) Every metric is exposed in Prometheus text format at a stable URL. structlog gives you #1, #2, #3 with a lot of flexibility. prometheus_client gives you #4 with a lot of flexibility. Both are about 16 MB of transitive dependencies combined. For a service that runs in a single process and exports maybe 20 metric names, the libraries are doing more work than the project. The 80-line JsonFormatter The custom logging formatter is the simplest part. The whole thing is here: import json import logging from contextvars import ContextVar from datetime import datetime , timezone _trace_id_var : ContextVar [ str | None ] = ContextVar ( " trace_id " , default = None ) class JsonFormatter ( logging . Formatter ): def format ( self , record : logging . LogRecord ) -> str : payload = { " ts " : datetime . now ( tz = timezone . utc ). isoformat (), " level

Complete AI Agent Lockdown: 21 Policy Types for Maximum Security Giving an AI agent a wallet without guardrails is like giving a toddler a credit card — technically functional, potentially catastrophic. If you're building AI agents that interact with crypto wallets, the security model you choose isn't an afterthought. It's the difference between a useful autonomous system and one that drains your funds on a bad inference. This post is about exactly how WAIaaS handles that problem. Not vague promises about "enterprise-grade security" — specific mechanisms, specific policy types, and specific code you can run today. The Actual Risk Model Let's be honest about what can go wrong when you give an AI agent wallet access: The agent misinterprets a prompt and sends funds to the wrong address A compromised session token gets used by an attacker The agent executes a DeFi action with parameters outside your intended range Gas fees spike and the agent submits transactions at costs you'd never accept manually The agent approves an unlimited token allowance to a contract you didn't vet None of these require a malicious agent. They can all happen with a well-intentioned model operating outside the boundaries you forgot to define. The solution isn't to avoid giving agents wallet access — it's to define exactly what they're allowed to do, and nothing more. WAIaaS approaches this with three distinct security layers, a default-deny policy engine with 21 policy types across 4 security tiers, and multiple channels for human approval when transactions exceed your defined thresholds. Layer 1: Authentication — Three Separate Keys for Three Separate Roles The first layer is role separation. WAIaaS uses three authentication methods that map to three distinct principals: masterAuth (Argon2id) — The system administrator role. Creates wallets, manages sessions, configures policies. This credential never touches the agent. sessionAuth (JWT HS256) — The AI agent's credential. Scoped to a specific

If you've ever tried to pull job listings by scraping LinkedIn or Indeed, you know the pain: anti-bot systems, CAPTCHAs, rotating proxies, and scripts that silently break every few weeks. Here's the thing — you usually don't need any of that. Companies don't post jobs on LinkedIn first. They post them in their ATS (Applicant Tracking System) — Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Workday, etc. — and most ATS platforms expose the company's board as a public JSON endpoint . No key, no login, no browser. It's the company's own source of truth, so it's cleaner and fresher than any aggregator. The endpoints A few that work with a plain GET ( {company} = the company's slug): Greenhouse — https://boards-api.greenhouse.io/v1/boards/{company}/jobs?content=true Lever — https://api.lever.co/v0/postings/{company}?mode=json Recruitee — https://{company}.recruitee.com/api/offers/ Breezy HR — https://{company}.breezy.hr/json SmartRecruiters, Ashby, BambooHR and Personio have their own equivalents. Workday is the one annoying exception — it's a POST and needs the full board URL (tenant + datacenter + site), so you can't guess it from a bare company name. Example: pulling Stripe's open roles (Python) Stripe uses Greenhouse: import requests company = " stripe " url = f " https://boards-api.greenhouse.io/v1/boards/ { company } /jobs?content=true " jobs = requests . get ( url ). json ()[ " jobs " ] for j in jobs [: 5 ]: print ( j [ " title " ], " — " , j [ " location " ][ " name " ]) That's it. No Selenium, no proxy, no CAPTCHA solver. Runs in ~200ms and won't break next Tuesday because Cloudflare changed something. Auto-detecting the ATS If you don't know which ATS a company uses, just try them in order and take the first one that returns jobs. A bare 404 means "not this ATS, try the next." Greenhouse → Lever → Ashby → SmartRecruiters → Recruitee → Breezy covers a huge chunk of tech companies. Gotchas Rate limits are lenient but real — be polite, set a User-Agent .

I spent the last two weeks thinking like an attacker. I wrote tests whose only job was to make my own programs fail. I ran a fuzzer across thousands of generated inputs looking for the lamport value nobody would choose by hand. And I rebuilt the missing owner check that was at the center of the $326M Wormhole exploit, in a throwaway program, in a test, so I could watch it work and then watch the one-line fix stop it cold. This checklist is what I would hand to past me on day one of that work. Run it top to bottom before any Anchor program goes to mainnet. Who this is for You are writing Solana programs in Anchor. You understand accounts, PDAs, and CPIs. You have read the Anchor docs. What you do not yet have is a systematic way to check that you have not missed the failure modes that are specific to Solana's runtime, an account model where any account can be passed into any instruction, arithmetic that wraps silently in release builds without protection, and cross-program calls that trust whatever program ID you hand them. This checklist is that systematic check. It is not a substitute for a professional audit on high-value programs. It is the thing you run before you even consider requesting one. The Wormhole anchor Before the list, the story that explains why account validation sits at the top. In February 2022, an attacker drained $326M from the Wormhole bridge. The root cause was a single deprecated function, load_instruction_at — that read a sysvar account's contents without first checking that the account was actually the real instructions sysvar. The attacker passed in a forged account they controlled. The program read it, trusted it, and authorized a mint it should have refused. The fix was a single word: switch to load_instruction_at_checked , which verifies the account's address before reading it. Every item in this checklist traces back to that same principle: never read an account's contents until you have confirmed its identity. The items below are just

TL;DR — This article is going to be jam-packed with useful information, tips, tricks and hacks for setting up an agentic development in the Google ecosystem. This one isn’t really about the FinOps! Welcome to Part 2 Welcome back, friends!
