The guide to kubectl I never had.

Glasskube dropped a thorough guide tokubectl- the commands, the flags (--dry-run, etc.), how to chain stuff together, and how to keep your config sane. Bonus: a solid roundup ofkubectl plugins. Think observability (like K9s), policy checks, audit trails, and Glasskube’s take on declarative package m.. read more

20x Faster TRL Fine-tuning with RapidFire AI

RapidFire AI just dropped a scheduling engine built for chaos - and control. It shards datasets on the fly, reallocates as needed, and runs multipleTRL fine-tuning configs at once, even on a single GPU. No magic, just clever orchestration. It plugs into TRL withdrop-in wrappers, spreads training acr.. read more

Code execution with MCP: building more efficient AI agents

Code is taking over MCP workflows - and fast. With theModel Context Protocol, agents don’t just call tools. They load them on demand. Filter data. Track state like any decent program would. That shift slashes context bloat - up to 98% fewer tokens. It also trims latency and scales cleaner across tho.. read more

Hacking Gemini: A Multi-Layered Approach

A researcher found a multi-layer sanitization gap inGoogle Gemini. It let attackers pull off indirect prompt injections to leak Workspace data - think Gmail, Drive, Calendar - using Markdown image renders across Gemini andColab export chains. The trick? Sneaking through cracks between HTML and Markd.. read more

How to write a great agents.md: Lessons from over 2,500 repositories

A GitHub Copilot feature allows for custom agents defined inagents.mdfiles. These agents act as specialists within a team, each with a specific role. The success of an agents.md file lies in providing a clear persona, executable commands, defined boundaries, specific examples, and detailed informati.. read more

What if you don't need MCP at all?

MostMCP serversstuffed into LLM agents are overcomplicated, slow to adapt, and hog context. The post calls them out for what they are: a mess. The alternative? Scrap the kitchen sink. UseBash, leanNode.js/Puppeteer scripts, and a self-bootstrappingREADME. That’s it. Agents read the file, spin up the.. read more

BigQuery is a cloud-native, serverless analytics platform designed to store, query, and analyze massive volumes of structured and semi-structured data using standard SQL. It separates storage from compute, automatically scales resources, and eliminates the need for infrastructure management, indexing, or capacity planning.

BigQuery is optimized for analytical workloads such as business intelligence, log analysis, data science, and machine learning. It supports real-time data ingestion via streaming, batch loading from cloud storage, and federated queries across external data sources like Cloud Storage, Bigtable, and Google Drive.

Query execution is distributed and highly parallel, enabling interactive performance even on petabyte-scale datasets. The platform integrates deeply with the Google Cloud ecosystem, including Looker for BI, Vertex AI for ML workflows, Dataflow for streaming pipelines, and BigQuery ML, which allows users to train and run machine learning models directly using SQL.

Built-in security features include fine-grained IAM controls, column- and row-level security, encryption by default, and audit logging. BigQuery follows a consumption-based pricing model, charging for storage and queries (on-demand or reserved capacity).
