Will Sentance, educator and co-founder of Codesmith, joins SE Radio’s Adi Narayan to discuss the evolution of JavaScript and modern best practices. They begin with JavaScript’s origins as a simple scripting language and its growth into the backbone of modern web development, highlighting the core theme of the “don’t break the web” constraint. The requirement that JavaScript must remain backward-compatible has shaped everything from naming decisions (e.g., flat instead of flatten) to the introduction of Symbols as a collision-safe way to extend objects. Will explains how the TC39 group uses the open-source community as a filtration system, absorbing user land…

The SpaceX-Cursor deal is not just a headline acquisition. It is a signal of how the next layer of the AI economy will be built, owned, and monetized. On April 21, 2026, SpaceX announced the right to acquire Anysphere, the company behind Artificial Intelligence (AI) coding tool Cursor for $60 billion later this year, or alternatively pay $10 billion for their joint work together. To aerospace observers, this seemed out of orbit. To anyone watching the convergence of compute infrastructure and developer AI, it was the move that had been telegraphed for months. SpaceX has evolved far beyond its original identity as a builder of…

30 Theme of the week: edge computing and private networks for physical AI and AI inference in industrial and military zones. HPE has released a new AI server platform, ruggedized and optimized for difficult edge deployments; the release follows this week’s discussion at Defense Communications Forum, plus separately with Ericsson and NTT Data, about related themes.  In sum – what to know: Industrial conditions – Data volumes, latency pressures, cost constraints, and application requirements are pushing compute out of data centers and into distributed industrial environments. Geopolitical conditions – Instability in Europe and the Middle East, plus intensifying rivalry between…

In this article, you will learn how TurboQuant, a novel algorithmic suite recently launched by Google, achieves advanced compression of large language models and vector search engines with no loss of accuracy. Topics we will cover include: What TurboQuant is and why it represents a meaningful advance over prior quantization techniques. How the two-stage compression process — PolarQuant followed by QJL — works together to eliminate memory overhead and hidden bias. Why TurboQuant’s approach to KV cache compression is grounded in strong theoretical foundations rather than purely practical engineering. Effective KV Compression with TurboQuantImage by Editor Introduction TurboQuant has recently…

Projects are the bridge between understanding AI and actually building with it. While the last couple of years were dominated by generative models, the shift now is toward systems that can think in steps, use tools, and act with a clear objective. This guide brings together over 15 solved agentic AI projects designed to help you make that transition. Each project highlights what makes it “agentic,” along with source code and implementation direction, so you can move beyond prompt-based work and start building systems that reason, plan, and execute tasks end to end. Finance, Business & E-commerce Build systems that…

A Brazilian tech firm that specializes in protecting networks from distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks has been enabling a botnet responsible for an extended campaign of massive DDoS attacks against other network operators in Brazil, KrebsOnSecurity has learned. The firm’s chief executive says the malicious activity resulted from a security breach and was likely the work of a competitor trying to tarnish his company’s public image.

For the past several years, security experts have tracked a series of massive DDoS attacks originating from Brazil and solely targeting Brazilian ISPs. Until recently, it was…

Decommissioning old wind turbines generates thousands of tons of new waste. If we don’t create incentives and regulations that force the responsible handling of decommissioned wind turbine parts, especially blades, we will have an enormous waste problem. (Words: Norwegian University of Science and Technology). By 2040, up to 20,000 wind turbine blades could be landfilled or incinerated simply because we lack good solutions for processing them sustainably. Europe’s oldest offshore wind turbines are now being dismantled, after having delivered clean energy since the early 1990s. These turbines have converted offshore wind into clean power on land, but decommissioning the oldest…

This One Is Virtual, Not Physical. Historically, the word “diaspora” has been used in the context of the movement, migration, or scattering of people based on race, ethnicity, and religion. For whatever reason, people that had been geographically displaced. Regardless of the reason, the movement of people has not been pleasant nor without casualties, and these historical displacements have been mostly permanent. The displaced could not and did not return home. I see a new type of diaspora in progress. It is the displacement of humans in a variety of work roles by AI (artificial intelligence). The crucial question is…

The two-legged Tron 1 robot from LimX Dynamics bears a striking resemblance to the AT-ST walkers from Star Wars, but it’s not made for conquering the galaxy. Watch this: This $25,000 Robot Looks Like a Mini Star Wars AT-ST 02:11 I took the Tron 1 for a spin earlier this year at CES, but right out of the box its abilities were largely limited to preprogrammed movements and remote-control operation. Driving the robot around a Las Vegas hotel room was a lot of fun, but I didn’t scratch the surface of what the robot was capable of until now.LimX Dynamics…
