Sahaj Garg, co-founder and CTO of Wispr, a voice-to-text AI that turns speech into polished writing, talks with host Amey Ambade about designing systems for the ambiguity that’s inherent in human input (text, voice, multimodal). Sahaj focuses on concrete architectural and training strategies for building robust AI systems. This episode examines the problem of ambiguity, where it shows up, building robust systems, personalization, communicating uncertainty, and evaluation. The conversation starts by exploring the difference between inherent and reducible ambiguity, major categories of ambiguity including lexical, syntactic, and pragmatic, and the additional sources of ambiguity in voice, such as homophones and…
For years, the software and services industries operated within a clear division of roles: software defined what could be done by codifying capabilities and workflows, while services determined how it was implemented and operated at scale through human effort. Growth for tech services firms scaled predictably with workforce expansion, supported by leveraged delivery pyramids and utilization-driven margins. Artificial Intelligence (AI) improved productivity within this model, but it did not fundamentally alter its economics. That equation is now changing. As AI systems take on increasingly execution-heavy tasks, growth is becoming less tethered to headcount expansion. The traditional linkage between revenue and labor intensity is weakening, placing pressure on pyramid structures, pricing models, and margin assumptions. This is not…
Luca Mezzalira, author of Building Micro-Frontends, originally shared the following article on LinkedIn. It’s being republished here with his permission.Every few years, something arrives that promises to change how we build software. And every few years, the industry splits predictably: One half declares the old rules dead; the other half folds its arms and waits for the hype to pass. Both camps are usually wrong, and both camps are usually loud. What’s rarer, and more useful, is someone standing in the middle of that noise and asking the structural questions: Not “What can this do?” but “What does it mean…
Search “best agentic AI platform,” and you’ll drown in a sea of vendor comparisons, feature matrices, and tool catalogs. The real enemy isn’t picking the wrong vendor, though. Building your own AI solution can kill your ambitions before they even get off the ground. In most enterprises, teams are cobbling together their own mix-and-match stack of open-source tools, cloud services, and point solutions. Marketing has its chatbot builder, IT is experimenting with some hyperscaler’s agent framework, and data science is spinning up vector databases on whatever cloud credits they can scrounge up. That’s shadow AI in a nutshell, with governance…
I’m excited to announce Amazon S3 Files, a new file system that seamlessly connects any AWS compute resource with Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3). More than a decade ago, as an AWS trainer, I spent countless hours explaining the fundamental differences between object storage and file systems. My favorite analogy was comparing S3 objects to books in a library (you can’t edit a page, you need to replace the whole book) versus files on your computer that you can modify page by page. I drew diagrams, created metaphors, and helped customers understand why they needed different storage types for…
Ravie LakshmananApr 10, 2026Malware / Blockchain Cybersecurity researchers have flagged yet another evolution of the ongoing GlassWorm campaign, which employs a new Zig dropper that’s designed to stealthily infect all integrated development environments (IDEs) on a developer’s machine. The technique has been discovered in an Open VSX extension named “specstudio.code-wakatime-activity-tracker,” which masquerades as WakaTime, a popular tool that measures the time programmers spend inside their IDE. The extension is no longer available for download. “The extension […] ships a Zig-compiled native binary alongside its JavaScript code,” Aikido Security researcher Ilyas Makari said in an analysis published this week. “This is not the first time GlassWorm has resorted to using…
Over the last several years, fusion power has gone from the butt of jokes — always a decade away! — to an increasingly tangible and tantalizing technology that has drawn investors off the sidelines. The technology may be challenging to master and expensive to build today, but fusion promises to harness the nuclear reaction that powers the sun to generate nearly limitless energy here on Earth. If startups are able to complete commercially viable fusion power plants, then they have the potential to upend trillion-dollar markets. The bullish wave buoying the fusion industry has been driven by three advances: more…

Mobile apps have become a primary interface for critical services, including banking, payments, and healthcare. Unlike web applications, much of the logic and intellectual property in a mobile app lives directly on the user’s device, which is an environment the developer doesn’t control. That makes mobile apps uniquely exposed to reverse engineering, runtime manipulation, and fraud. As more critical functionality shifts to mobile, the need to harden apps against sophisticated attackers continues to grow. Guardsquare builds tools to protect and test mobile applications against both static and dynamic threats. Its platform has features including layered code obfuscation, runtime application self-protection,…
New rules introduced by the Central Bank should make it easier for customers to deal with insurance claims and in turn, help consumers reach fairer insurance settlements. In addition, the new rules around insurance quotes will make it easier for customers to understand how certain actions, such as accumulating penalty points – or paying insurance premiums monthly rather than upfront – could make their insurance premiums more expensive. This is according to the insurance broker Gallagher, which is advising consumers to get up to speed on the new rules being introduced under the Central Bank’s revised Consumer Protection Code (CPC),…
