A hacker slipped a wiper intoAmazon Qv1.84.0 via a dodgy GitHub pull. AWS revoked every key, nuked the rogue commit, then rolled outAmazon Q v1.85.0...

Scott Alexander’s team argues that AI is aprofoundly abnormal technologyon track forrecursive self-improvementwithin2–10 years. They counter (AIANT)’s view (AI As A Normal Technology) of slow, regulated diffusion by showing thatLLMsare rapidly adopted in medicine, law, and software — bypassing insti..

AI agents tap MCP servers andStrands Agents. They fire off tools that chart IAM permission chains and sniff out AWS privilege escalations. Enter the “Sum of All Permissions” method. It hijacks EC2 Instance Connect, warps through SSM to swipe data, and leaps roles—long after static scanners nod off. ..

Anthropic teamsfire upClaude Code. They automate data pipelines and squash Kubernetes IP exhaustion. They churn out tests and trace cross-repo context. Non-dev squads use plain-text prompts to script workflows, spin up Figma plugin automations, and mock up UIs from screenshots—zero code. Trend to w..

LLMs function as next-token predictors. With scant user context, they hallucinate—spinning fresh backstories. As these models morph into autonomous agents, context engineering—feeding facts, memory, tools, guardrails—halts rogue behavior. Trend to watch:A jump in context engineering. It pins LLMs t..

Intel scraps itsGermanyandPoland foundries, shifting assembly fromCosta RicatoVietnamandMalaysia. It slows Ohio fab construction while ramping upIntel 18A/18A‑Pand planningIntel 14Aaround key customers. SMT returns. Focus shifts to Panther Lake, Nova Lake, and Granite Rapids.AI strategy pivots towar..

Bugbot hunts bugs in PR diffs, flagging logic slip-ups and strange edge cases. It then detects security gaps, blending top LLMs with custom heuristics. It plugs into the Cursor dashboard and runs dedicated Bugbot rules.Beta stats: 1M+ reviews, 1.5M+ issues found. Half the bugs are fixed before merge..

An AI-powered dev workflow combinedClaude,Playwright, and aPostgres-backed REST APIto ship 2–3 features per day. But as complexity grew, multi-agent loops broke down, tests ballooned, and schema drift demanded increasingly precise prompts and manual corrections.The result: more time spent managing c..

AI data integration obliterates manual ETL chores. It handlesschema mapping,transformation,anomaly detection. Deployments sprint ahead. Machine learning models digest structured, semi-structured, unstructured formats. They forge real-time pipelines bristling withgovernanceandsecurity. Infra shift:A..

METRran an randomized controlled trial  (RCT) with 16 open-source devs. They tackled real-world code tasks usingClaude 3.5andCursor Pro. The pitch:40%speed boost. Reality:19%slowdown. A deep dive into 246 screen recordings laid bare friction in prompting, vetting suggestions, and merging code. That ..
