AI Made the First Draft Cheap: Correctness Is Still Expensive On June 16, Databricks introduced an AI agent that builds forecasting models, deploys apps, and writes its own documentation from a sentence of English, joining comparable agents already running at Snowflake, AWS, and GitHub. The open question isn’t whether an agent can write the code. It’s whether anyone can trust what it wrote. AI Made the First Draft Cheap. Correctness Is Still Expensive Freelance data scientist Longhow Lam described a similar moment on LinkedIn. He said plain-English instructions could direct an AI agent through data generation, forecasting, deployment, and documentation,…

Three kilometers of open water. A bobbing, floating dock. Family and friends waiting for a live feed from across the globe. This was the scene at the 54th annual Brentwood International Regatta. For the broadcasting students, it was a high-stakes classroom. For the IT team, it was a puzzle. They had cameras, they had passion, but they lacked the one thing needed for the livestream: reliable wireless connectivity. Cellular coverage was limited. Starlink created synchronization issues for real-time livestream from different cameras. So, we joined forces with Brentwood College to understand the environment and their application requirements.  Our team—Monica Alfonso…

U.S. companies have been slow to act on super pollutants. Methane, refrigerants and other gases with high global warming potential are responsible for roughly half of the temperature increase the planet has experienced to date, yet most companies have made carbon dioxide the focus of climate strategies. That’s a missed opportunity, experts said this week at Trellis Impact 26, because mitigating super pollutants can have greater near-term impacts on global warming than efforts to tackle CO2.  “There’s an overwhelming opportunity but an underwhelming response,” Tristam Coffin, co-founder of êffecterra, a sustainability and engineering consultancy, said of refrigerants, one class of…

After installing the Xcode 27 beta, I tried to download all the simulator runtimes that I needed. The watchOS runtime installed flawlessly, but I had issues installing the iOS runtime. I kept seeing a dialog that said that Xcode was fetching download information and no matter how long I waited; that dialog would not go away.I reinstalled Xcode and rebooted my Mac, but I just could not get the iOS runtime to download. I looked around on the internet, and I found that you can install runtimes from the command line using xcodebuild.By running xcodebuild -downloadPlatform iOS you can download…

AWS IoT Core now supports direct messaging for point-to-point communication. Previously, sending a message to a single IoT device required publishing to an MQTT topic the device subscribed to, with no built-in delivery confirmation from the device. With the new direct messaging capability, you can send a message to any device connected to AWS IoT Core, reducing messaging cost compared to publish-subscribe (Pub-Sub) messaging for one-to-one communication patterns, and providing a delivery acknowledgment from the IoT device. AWS IoT Core also uses the delivery acknowledgment to provide detailed API response codes and emit Amazon CloudWatch Logs, so you have visibility…

AI is being dropped into nearly every corner of modern work, but most businesses still cannot say with much honesty what it is truly contributing. They can say it is speeding things up. They can say it is integrated. They can say their teams are “using AI,” but that is not the same as understanding its value. In reality, many organizations are still in the trial-and-error phase. The interesting part is that a lot of what teams are learning about AI is not coming from strategy decks or keynote stages. It is being discovered in the mess of everyday work: by trying things, breaking things, finding…

Software-defined warfare is today’s reality for national security, shifting the emphasis in military operations from hardware to software, “the core of every weapon and supporting system” fielded for defense. The Atlantic Council’s 2025 Commission on Software-Defined Warfare: Final Report defines software-defined warfare as the “continuous integration and delivery of cutting-edge technology and leading interoperable software into legacy and future defense systems.” The report emphasizes the need for speed through artificial intelligence (AI) by calling on national security organizations to “acquire and sustain unified, shared platforms that support and accelerate the end-to-end development, deployment, and governance of AI solutions.”This blog post…

This week host and Turing Post founder Ksenia Se threaded the latest news into a single argument: AI is moving out of conversation and into the operational loops where real work happens. From SpaceX’s $60 billion acquisition in the developer tools market to the G7’s debate about frontier model access to image generation company Midjourney’s pivot to medical hardware, the stories all pointed in the same direction. When agents own the loop, the IDE becomes infrastructureSpaceX’s acquisition of Anysphere, the company behind Cursor, for a reported $60 billion in stock is the kind of deal that looks straightforward until you…
