American economic policy is facing a crisis that cannot be solved simply by an election. The biggest economic problems of the moment, workforce shortages, small business fragility, and innovation gaps between regions, are stubbornly resistant to the usual solutions.

Abstract: Classical Design by Contract (DbC) implicitly relies on the “Memory Axiom”—the assumption that human collaborators possess persistent contextual memory. The emergence of stateless AI agents as primary code-producers invalidates this axiom. We propose that in an agentic workflow, the contract must transcend its role as a correctness specification and become a complete, self-contained reconstruction of system … Read more
‘Listen, that’s not what I’m here for.’ | Image: Apple Our early testing has already shown that Siri AI knows when to shut up, and that’s very much by design. In an interview with Mostly Human spotted by MacRumors, Craig Federighi said Apple’s new Siri won’t act all sycophantic like chatbots made by OpenAI, Google, … Read more
A contained honeypot impersonating a small internet-facing energy site collected 54 days of traffic – roughly 1.7 million events from 16,568 unique sources, discovered within the first hour. Most was commodity automation, but a thin tail spoke real Modbus, including 392 device-identity reads with zero write or control attempts. On ATT&CK for ICS the industrial … Read more
Introduction: When engineers first encounter entity resolution, the problem looks deceptively simple: compare records, score likely matches, connect the ones above a threshold, cluster the graph. That mental model works for a whiteboard interview. It does not survive production. Because once you move from a few thousand clean records to hundreds of millions of noisy … Read more

Avataar AI’s distilled video model is priced at $0.005 for every second of generation
Unlike humanoid robots designed around a fixed form — think Boston Dynamics — Theker’s machines are built to be reconfigured.
The new round values the physical AI startup that aims to automate heavy engineering and drug design at $41 billion.
Amazon’s rolling out a free software update for Echo Hub devices that gives the home screen a much-needed update to the interface it launched with in 2024. It had already added Alex Plus AI support, but the new interface has a cleaner, fully customizable layout that fits more smart home info and controls on the … Read more
In startups, something often seems more urgent than backups: a new release, user growth, the next round of funding. When resources are scarce, the team focuses on building the product, not the infrastructure. And every day, shipping wins. Backups keep getting postponed. Not just because there’s no time, but because thinking about them means admitting … Read more

After SpaceX makes its public debut, lower-tier SPV investors face hidden fees, lengthy payout delays, and the risk of outright fraud.
Synchronous multi-agent pipelines are too fragile and rigid to scale successfully in complex enterprise settings. Moving toward an Event-Driven Architecture (EDA) solves this roadblock by completely decoupling agents through distributed message brokers like Apache Kafka. By leveraging event-driven choreography, implementing event sourcing for reliable state management, and using strict causality headers to prevent message loops, … Read more
