I accepted a challenge: build a real-time YOLOv8 video pipeline using vanilla ONNX Runtime. No bloated frameworks. No Python bottlenecks. Just raw C++ grit. Let’s be honest: Python is the undisputed king of the research lab. But if you’re trying to stream live H.264 video through a neural network at scale on edge hardware? Python’s … Read more

What does it mean to be human when you are living under a techno-controlled state system? When your thoughts are being read, the last of your freedoms is taken away from you. When you are constantly being monitored, potentially by people you used to know as people. When you are kept awake by voices, not … Read more

Decentralized lending has become one of the foundational pillars of modern DeFi. Protocols like Aave demonstrated that users want permissionless borrowing and yield generation without relying on traditional intermediaries. However, high network fees and fragmented liquidity across chains continue to limit adoption. QIELend aims to solve this by delivering a familiar, capital-efficient lending experience — … Read more

Abstract The February 2026 release of Anthropic’s Claude Opus 4.6 and OpenAI’s GPT-5.3 Codex represents the closest head-to-head launch window in frontier AI model history, with both models debuting within 24 hours of each other. This paper provides a comprehensive comparative analysis of these two flagship coding-focused language models across technical capabilities, benchmark performance, architectural … Read more

Learn guided by the domain TL;DR: Use AI to understand requirements and build a shared mental model while you write the code. Common Mistake ❌ You jump directly to code generation with a vague, wishful prompt. The AI appears to understand your specific business logic, but it comes across as condescending. The problem creates a … Read more

Who is this for? Someone who has never touched Kubernetes but wants to understand it well enough to discuss it confidently — and even run a few things on their laptop. Important mindset note: Kubernetes is not Heroku or a full application platform. It does not build your app, manage your CI/CD pipeline, or automatically … Read more

Table of Links Abstract Introduction Related work Problem statement [Methods]() Experiments Limitations [Conclusion]() LIMITATIONS We assume a static environment where objects do not move during traversal. This limits the scope of this work because many applications involve dynamic scenes with moving objects. In future work, we will adapt our method to work for dynamic scenes. … Read more

I spend most of my time breaking into things for a living. For the last year or so, a growing chunk of that work has been pointed at LLMs. Not the models themselves, exactly. The deployments. The API gateways with a language model behind them. The customer-facing chatbots. The internal tools that got “an AI … Read more

Let’s start with a paradox. By the data, Commercial Open Source (COSS) is a potent, high-performing investment category in the modern digital economy. It is a $26.4 billion investment category that systematically outperforms traditional software. Companies in this space achieve exit valuations that are 7x to 14x higher than their closed-source peers, and they graduate … Read more

Chunk-based RAG is broken for structured documents. The fix is simpler than you think - and faster than the original. A few weeks ago, I came across an article by Agent Native about vectorless RAG. The framing stuck with me: most RAG systems turn documents into “semantic confetti” — chunk everything, embed everything, then hope an ANN search surfaces … Read more

In modern healthcare architecture, we often focus on the human user—the doctor, the pharmacist, or the patient. But behind the scenes, a massive, invisible workforce of service accounts, containers, and automated scripts is doing the heavy lifting. As we transition from simple multi-cloud setups to Sky Computing—where compute is treated as a portable, universal utility—managing … Read more

There’s a quiet lie baked into most conversations about artificial intelligence. We talk as if the next leap forward depends on better models, faster chips, or humanoid robots that finally work outside carefully staged demos. But that’s not where AI breaks today. AI already reasons better than most people in narrow domains. It plans faster. … Read more

January 2026. Davos. IBM and UAE telecom giant e& walk onto the stage. They don’t unveil a new foundation model. They don’t demo an agent that books flights or writes code. They announce an enterprise-grade agentic AI deployment built specifically for governance and compliance. Watsonx Orchestrate. OpenPages GRC integration. Proof of concept delivered in eight … Read more

Cryptocurrencies weren’t created with access requirements in mind. In theory, anyone could be a user without being obligated to share their identity. However, most crypto exchanges nowadays have Know-Your-Customer (KYC) rules in place, which basically means you have to share your ID and documents to be able to trade. They do this to comply with … Read more

Buy Now, Pay Later in 2026 is neither a button nor a product anymore. Instead, it’s a real-time probability engine deciding whether you’re a fraud bot, a high-risk borrower, or somebody worth extending credit to.

If effort were purely romantic, it wouldn’t fail so often. What if the real issue isn’t love, but lack of structure?

Every AI team is running 4-5 disconnected tools to ship agents safely. The failures happen in the gaps between them. The AI agent stack needs to consolidate the same way devops did, and the winning platform should be open.

Data Mesh claims to address data bottlenecks via decentralization, but most enterprises get bogged down in execution. Pure Data Mesh dives headfirst into legacy systems, generates new bottlenecks, and requires resources a very few organizations have. Hybrid Data Mesh provides a practical forward path—centralized governance with decentralized execution.
