User input from HTML form fields is generally provided to JavaScript as a string. We’ve lived with that fact for decades but sometimes developers need to extract numbers from that string. There are multiple ways to get those numbers but let’s rely on regular expressions to extract those numbers! To employ a regular expression to get a number within a string, we can use \d+: const string = “x12345david”; const [match] = string.match(/(\d+)/); match; // 12345 Regular expressions are capable of really powerful operations within JavaScript; this practice is one of the easier operations. Converting the number using a Number()…

The recent explosion in large language model (LLM) technology has highlighted the challenges of using public generative artificial intelligence (AI) tools in classified environments, especially for software analysis. Currently, software analysis falls on the shoulders of heuristic static analysis (SA) tools and manual code review, which tend to provide limited technical depth and are often time-consuming in practice. As this post details, a group of SEI researchers sought to prove that LLMs can be used in unclassified environments to rapidly develop tools that could then be used to accelerate software analysis in classified environments. The resulting tools were a plugin-based…

Nothing, the hardware company backed by Tiger Global, is opening its first retail store in India, its biggest market. The store is located in Bengaluru, where a large chunk of Nothing’s userbase in India is concentrated, the company said. The new, two-storied location will show off Nothing’s products and other projects. Customers will also be able to buy hardware products and other merchandise from the store and have select items customized. “We wanted to create a fun space. It is kind of inspired by all the parts that are related to the brand. For instance, the factory: if you buy…

Anthropic’s latest Artificial Intelligence (AI) launch has showed clear progress toward agentic behavior and bringing the vision of systems that don’t just assist humans, but increasingly act on their behalf, closer to reality. Although, within hours, US software stocks were sold off sharply and a familiar narrative resurfaced: AI is finally coming for Software-as-a-Service (SaaS).  The speed of the reaction was striking but is not completely surprising. Technology inflection points tend to trigger exaggerated conclusions, especially when they challenge long-held assumptions about how value is created in enterprise software.  Reach out to discuss this topic in depth.  Why everyone panicked  The panic was largely driven by what investors thought the launch implied. For years, AI had been framed as an assistive layer that is useful but contained. Anthropic’s release shifted that framing. If AI can reason, plan, and…

AI coding assistants have quickly moved from novelty to necessity, where up to 90% of software engineers use some kind of AI for coding. But a new paradigm is emerging in software development—one where engineers leverage fleets of autonomous coding agents. In this agentic future, the role of the software engineer is evolving from implementer to manager, or in other words, from coder to conductor and ultimately orchestrator.Over time, developers will increasingly guide AI agents to build the right code and coordinate multiple agents working in concert. This write-up explores the distinction between conductors and orchestrators in AI-assisted coding, defines…

Insurance companies don’t get many chances to make a strong impression. Outside of claims and renewals, customer communications are the experience. Every onboarding message, policy update, billing notice, and claims interaction shapes how policyholders perceive your brand – and whether they stay. So, what’s the best customer communications platform for insurance companies? For insurers looking to modernize engagement, reduce friction, and improve retention, the answer is EngageOne RapidCX from Precisely. What insurance companies need from a communications platform Insurance communications are complex by nature. They must be accurate, compliant, timely, and consistent – while still feeling clear, personal, and human.…

Cloud storage and computing give businesses access to a range of advantages, but many mistakenly believe that simply by moving to cloud storage, their data becomes secure. Secure data, even in the cloud, requires management and time investment on the part of businesses, not trusting a cloud provider to take care of everything.Cloud computing offers almost unparalleled levels of flexibility, remote collaboration, cost savings and scalability. For the last two decades, cloud computing and storage have become one of the most important things that businesses can do to improve their workflow and take care of their data storage needs. But…

CISA ordered U.S. government agencies on Thursday to secure their systems against a critical Microsoft Configuration Manager vulnerability patched in October 2024 and now exploited in attacks. Microsoft Configuration Manager (also known as ConfigMgr and formerly System Center Configuration Manager, or SCCM) is an IT administration tool for managing large groups of Windows servers and workstations. Tracked as CVE-2024-43468 and reported by offensive security company Synacktiv, this SQL injection vulnerability allows remote attackers with no privileges to gain code execution and run arbitrary commands with the highest level of privileges on the server and/or the underlying Microsoft Configuration Manager site…

The Kashiwazaki-Kariwa plant in Nigata Prefecture (image credit: Tepco) Japan’s Kashiwazaki-Kariwa Nuclear Power Plant was restarted on 9 February, the first reactivation of a nuclear power facility in the country since the 2011 accident at Fukushima. It is scheduled to begin commercial generation again in mid-March. Located in Japan’s Nigata Prefecture, the plant is considered the world’s largest by installed capacity (approximately 7,965 MW),1 and is operated by Tokyo Electric Power (Tepco), the operator of the former Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant. The 1,356-megawatt (MW) unit 6 reactor was restarted at 2pm local time on 9 February, and is scheduled…
