This past weekend I had the opportunity to be what every father wants, if only for a moment: the “cool dad”. My wife was out of town and my youngest son wanted to play PUBG. I caved in, taught him the basic FPS key binds, and he was having a great time. While he was fragging out, he pressed a bunch of random keys and ended up changing movement buttons. Suddenly the traditional WASD movement keys were useless and the arrow keys triggered movement. Of course, this was a degradation of player experience. After struggling to figure out what my…
A key agile principle is the value of getting planned work done each iteration. Yet many agile and Scrum teams fall into the habit of letting unfinished work spill over sprint after sprint. What Is Agile Spillover? Spillover is when planned work (a product backlog item or story) is left unfinished at the end of the sprint or iteration and carries over to a subsequent sprint. Spillover in agile tends to occur for one of three reasons: Ambitious sprint goal, or Too much unplanned work, or Underestimating the effort required to complete the work. Occasional unfinished work is not a…

The Xiaomi 17 Ultra has officially launched in China, and it’s going in a much less interesting direction than I had been hoping for. And yes, the phone has been unveiled on Christmas Day. I could write a whole piece about how weird that is as a date for a major smartphone launch, but we kind of knew it was coming. Any astonishment would be wholly manufactured. I have far stronger feelings about the Xiaomi 17 Ultra’s design, which was revealed ahead of time, as well as during a brief hands-on video posted to YouTube. To be clear from the…
Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL), a state-run telecom operator based out of India, is now reportedly planning to turn off 3G across the country. The bedrock of BSNL’s network, for many years, has been 3G. The company only recently launched 4G in many areas, and now has close to 1 lakh live sites throughout India. According to a LiveMint report, BSNL is looking to terminate the annual maintenance contracts (AMCs) with the vendors such as Nokia and Chinese equipment maker ZTE.Read More – BSNL New Rs 251 Plan Bundles 100GB of Data and MoreThe move comes at a time when the…
The key to R1’s success was distillation, a technique that makes AI models more efficient. It works by getting a bigger model to tutor a smaller model: You run the teacher model on a lot of examples and record the answers, and reward the student model as it copies those responses as closely as possible, so that it gains a compressed version of the teacher’s knowledge. —Caiwei Chen 10. Sycophancy As people across the world spend increasing amounts of time interacting with chatbots like ChatGPT, chatbot makers are struggling to work out the kind of tone and “personality” the models should adopt.

As we approach 2026, sustainability is starting to function more as a core business discipline rather than a standalone initiative. The public, private, and civic sectors are applying sustainability strategies to improve energy efficiency, reduce operating costs, strengthen supply chain resilience, and manage long-term risk — much of which is supported by advances in circularity, modern energy systems, artificial intelligence (AI), and emerging quantum technologies. But progress requires coordination, credible data, and solutions designed to scale. These needs are increasingly impacting the priorities of our customers and partners, and as a result, are now firmly on the boardroom agenda. And…
