Mia Davis built a reputation leading the “clean beauty” movement at Beautycounter and Credo Beauty. After a two-year detour as chief impact officer at dog food brand Ollie, she’s returning to the beauty industry at the small “climate-curated” skincare label Atmosphera. As it plans to expand to the U.S., the Alberta-based brand has brought on Davis alongside three new executive leaders from her Rolodex. Davis said she will be setting the “roadmap to sustainability” foundation for Atmosphera, which tailors products according to its customers’ local weather conditions. “If you’re sourcing safe, responsible ingredients from the start, you’re already talking about…
6/27/18 2:20 PM · 1 min read The delegate design pattern is a relatively easy way to communicate between two objects through a common interface, protocol in Swift. Implementing delegation in SwiftYou’ll need a delegate protocol, a delegator who actually delegates out the tasks and a delegate object that implements the delegate protocol and does the actual work that was requested by the “boss”. Let’s translate this into human.The client reports a bug. The project manager creates an issue and tells one of the developers to fix the problem asap.See? That’s delegation. At some point an event happened, so the delegator…
This blog is written in collaboration by Amy Chang, Vineeth Sai Narajala, and Idan Habler Over the past few weeks, Clawdbot (now renamed Moltbot) has achieved virality as an open source, self-hosted personal AI assistant agent that runs locally and executes actions on the user’s behalf. The bot’s explosive rise is driven by several factors; most notably, the assistant can complete useful daily tasks like booking flights or making dinner reservations by interfacing with users through popular messaging applications including WhatsApp and iMessage. Moltbot also stores persistent memory, meaning it retains long-term context, preferences, and history across user sessions rather…
From the outside, Upwind Security looks like it’s had a smooth journey so far. Just four years in, the cloud security startup is now worth $1.5 billion, and boasts the likes of Siemens, Peloton, Roku, Wix, Nextdoor and Nubank among its clientele. But if you ask the company’s co-founder and CEO Amiram Shachar, the journey to get here was anything but certain. “Three years ago, we would spend hours asking ourselves if we were heading in the right direction, and 80% of the time, it felt like we weren’t,” a candid Shachar told TechCrunch in an interview following the startup’s…
AI coding agents are rapidly reshaping how software is built, reviewed, and maintained. As large language model capabilities continue to increase, the bottleneck in software development is shifting away from code generation toward planning, review, deployment, and coordination. This shift is driving a new class of agentic systems that operate inside constrained environments, reason over long time horizons, and integrate across tools like IDEs, version control systems, and issue trackers. OpenAI is at the forefront of AI research and product development. In 2025, the company released Codex, which is an agentic coding system designed to work safely inside sandboxed environments…
Honorable MentionsOpen earbuds are becoming the hot trend in wireless audio, meaning there are plenty of good options that don’t make our top list. Here are some other pairs worth considering.Acefast Acefit Pro for $60-$125: Acefast’s Acefit Pro are more stylish than the cheaper Acefit Air above, most notably in their snazzy transparent case that shows battery life in slick LEDs when you open or close it. Otherwise, the sound quality isn’t notably better than the Air, and the buds themselves are bulkier, so they don’t fit my ears as well. These are still a solid pair of wrap-around open…
Docebo’s acquisition of 365Talents is a meaningful development in the learning technology and skills intelligence space. While learning platforms and skills tools have been moving closer together for some time, this deal highlights how central skills have become to learning, internal mobility, and workforce readiness conversations. We have been tracking the learning technology and skills intelligence markets for several years. Based on our research, enterprises are increasingly clear about one thing: learning can no longer be separated from skills. Organizations want learning to be driven by real skill needs and tied more directly to workforce outcomes. The Docebo–365Talents acquisition fits well into this broader shift. Reach out to discuss this topic in depth. Why…
Major ecosystem overhaul replaces Gold status with new tiers and unified incentives to drive AI readiness. In sum – what we know: The new program – Cisco 360 Partner Program has officially launched, replacing a 25-year-old framework to consolidate programs and drive profitability. New tier structure – Eliminates Gold designation; introduces Registered, Portfolio, and Preferred Partners based on specific value and capabilities. AI and telecom focus: Introduces “Secure AI Infrastructure” specialization targeting AI-ready data centers and mass-scale infrastructure relevant to telecom operators. Cisco is completely revamping its partner program. The company has announced the new Cisco 360 Partner Program, representing the company’s most sweeping ecosystem…
safetensors is a new, simple, fast, and safe file format for storing tensors. The design of the file format and its original implementation are being led by Hugging Face, and it’s getting largely adopted in their popular ‘transformers’ framework. The safetensors R package is a pure-R implementation, allowing to both read and write safetensor files. The initial version (0.1.0) of safetensors is now on CRAN. Motivation The main motivation for safetensors in the Python community is security. As noted in the official documentation: The main rationale for this crate is to remove the need to use pickle on PyTorch which…
Liquid biopsies unlock noninvasive cancer screening and monitoring by analyzing cancer biomarkers in blood, but the signals can be sparse and noisy. Exai Bio has pioneered AI-driven liquid biopsy using novel small RNA biomarkers. In recent work, Exai-1 and Orion – two new generative AI for cell-free RNA – achieve breakthroughs in signal denoising and early cancer detection. These advances were made possible by Databricks’ lakehouse architecture and cloud AI infrastructure. By unifying large genomic datasets and providing managed ML tools (MLflow, Workflows, scalable clusters), Databricks enables Exai’s researchers to train large multimodal models on thousands of patient samples. In this joint…
