This is the third article in a series on agentic engineering and AI-driven development. Read part one here, part two here, part three here, and look for the next article on April 23 on O’Reilly Radar.Here’s the dirty secret of the AI coding revolution: most experienced developers still don’t really trust the code the AI writes for us.If I’m being honest, that’s not actually a particularly well-guarded secret. It feels like every day there’s a new breathless “I don’t have a lick of development experience but I just vibe coded this amazing application” article. And I get it—articles like that get so much…

In Getting started with Apache Iceberg write support in Amazon Redshift – part 1, you learned how to create Apache Iceberg tables and write data directly from Amazon Redshift to your data lake. You set up external schemas, created tables in both Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) and S3 Tables, and performed INSERT operations while maintaining ACID (Atomicity, Consistency, Isolation, Durability) compliance. Amazon Redshift now supports DELETE, UPDATE, and MERGE operations for Apache Iceberg tables stored in Amazon S3 and Amazon S3 table buckets. With these operations, you can modify data at the row level, implement upsert patterns, and manage…

Multi-cloud architecture design is not a niche exercise for large enterprises. It has become a practical requirement for teams balancing performance, resilience, regional coverage, compliance, vendor flexibility, and cost control in more than one environment. The challenge is that multi-cloud design is not about picking services from AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud. It is about deciding how systems should be structured, governed, visualised and maintained when infrastructure spans different platforms with different constraints.That is why multi-cloud architecture design needs better tooling than a static diagram or a generic whiteboard. Teams need platforms that help them model target-state environments, understand current-state…

If you’ve been the victim of fraud, you’re likely already a lead on a ‘sucker list’ – and if you’re not careful, your ordeal may be about to get worse. 10 Apr 2026  •  , 5 min. read The worst thing you can do after falling victim to fraud is let your guard down. Online scammers only care about one thing: making money, so when new opportunities arise to do just that, they take them. It doesn’t matter if it involves re-victimizing someone who has already been defrauded, raising false hopes and exploiting their desperation to get their stolen funds…

Boston Dynamics is injecting Google DeepMind intelligence into its Spot robot platform for improved autonomous machinery inspections.To give the hardware autonomous reasoning capabilities tailored specifically for heavy industry, Boston Dynamics partnered with Google Cloud and Google DeepMind to integrate Gemini and Gemini Robotics ER 1.6 into Orbit AIVI-Learning, delivering a more sophisticated, intuitive, and powerful AI experience.Because of this integration, Boston Dynamics Spot and Orbit now continuously learn about facilities with unprecedented depth, allowing for higher-order reasoning and more complex visual analysis. Spot can now visually read analogue gauges, detect hazardous chemical spills, and interpret the physical environment without constant…

By pairing a ferroelectric capacitor with a linear capacitor, researchers create a power‑efficient device with tuneable memory and strong nonlinear responses Computing illustration (Courtesy: iStock/Devrimb) Reservoir computing is a computational approach well suited to time‑dependent tasks such as speech recognition, because it relies on internal dynamics, nonlinear responses, and short‑term memory of recent inputs. However, most hardware implementations consume too much power and lack the rich dynamics needed for complex problems. In this study, the researchers introduce a new reservoir‑computing device made by connecting a ferroelectric capacitor (FC) in series with a linear capacitor (LC). This FC-LC device naturally provides…

Martin Kleppmann, Associate Professor at the University of Cambridge and author of the best-selling O’Reilly book, Designing Data-Intensive Applications, talks to host Adi Narayan about local-first collaboration software. They discuss what the term means, how it leads to simpler application architectures compared to the cloud-first model, and the benefits to developers and users from keeping all of their data on their own devices. Martin goes into detail about how applications can synchronize data with and without a server, as well as conflict-resolution techniques, and the open-source library Automerge, which implements CRDTs and which developers can use out-of-the-box. He also clarifies…

Summary created by Smart Answers AIIn summary:Warner Bros. announced “Game of Thrones: Aegon’s Conquest” at CinemaCon, focusing on the Targaryen conquest of Westeros 300 years before the original series.Tech Advisor estimates the earliest release date as early 2028, with no script currently existing and extensive production time required.The film will feature Aegon I Targaryen and his sister-wives Visenya and Rhaenys conquering six kingdoms with iconic dragons like Balerion and Vhagar. Back in 2024, Warner Bros. confirmed it was planning a film set in George R. R. Martin’s universe. For months, fans speculated about the film’s plot – and finally, during…

This is today’s edition of The Download, our weekday newsletter that provides a daily dose of what’s going on in the world of technology. NASA is building the first nuclear reactor-powered interplanetary spacecraft. How will it work? Just before Artemis II began its historic slingshot around the moon, NASA revealed an even grander space travel plan. By the end of 2028, the agency aims to fly a nuclear reactor-powered interplanetary spacecraft to Mars. A successful mission would herald a new era in spaceflight—and might just give the US the edge in the race against China. But the project remains shrouded in mystery. …
