Published on: June 27, 2025 Updated on: July 7, 2025Swift 6.2 comes with several quality of life improvements for concurrency. One of these features is the ability to have actor-isolated conformances to protocols. Another feature is that your code will now run on the main actor by default.This does mean that sometimes, you’ll run into compiler errors. In this blog post, I’ll explore these errors, and how you can fix them when you do.Before we do, let’s briefly talk about actor-isolated protocol conformance to understand what this feature is about.Understanding actor-isolated protocol conformanceProtocols in Swift can require certain functions or…
– Advertisement -During the pandemic, the Internet of Things (IoT), which is described as “software, sensors and network connectivity embedded in physical devices, buildings and other items that enable those objects to collect and exchange data and send, receive, and execute commands,” grew quickly. Currently, there are 21.5 billion linked devices on the planet. According to the World Bank’s Findex 2021 survey, 1.4 billion persons still lack access to banking, with women making up the majority. Additionally, 850 million individuals worldwide lack any kind of ID, let alone a digital one. This offers the chance to skip ahead to a…
Posted by Garan Jenkin – Developer Relations EngineerA few months ago we relaunched Androidify as an app for generating personalized Android bots. Androidify transforms your selfie photo into a playful Android bot using Gemini and Imagen.However, given that Android spans multiple form factors, including our most recent addition, XR, we thought, how could we bring the fun of Androidify to Wear OS?An Androidify watch faceAs Androidify bots are highly-personalized, the natural place to showcase them is the watch face. Not only is it the most frequently visible surface but also the most personal surface, allowing you to represent who you…
From a theoretical perspective, ion transport through micrometer or nanometer-sized pores under a cross-pore electric field can be described well by the Hall equation, involving only the bulk conductivity, if the solution is not too dilute. For dilute solutions, it is predicted that the surface conduction will become important, especially in nanopores. Nonetheless, this remains unsupported by experiments, especially for micropores, where the experimentally observed ion conductance is intuitively thought to be dominated by bulk conduction. Herein, our electrical measurements of ion transport through silicon nitride pores having diameters ranging from sub-µm up to a few µm show that the…
Enterprises are making faster progress with agentic AI than many expected, not because the tooling is mature, but because companies have realized they can’t afford to wait. The leading 10 to 20% of organizations are racing ahead, standing up internal “agent platforms” that handle planning, tool selection, long running memory, workflow coordination, and human in the loop approvals. Capabilities they once assumed off the shelf copilots would provide. They aren’t trying to become orchestration framework vendors; they’re filling gaps because enterprise needs for reliability, auditability, and policy enforcement are higher than what the current ecosystem offers. Yet despite these limitations,…
In any engineering organization, management of communication among the stakeholders is a key challenge. The more extensive the complexity and scope of the endeavor, the greater the need to communicate. From senior leadership to the shop floor, communication is key. Digital engineering transformation is increasingly driving the methods and the means to improve how we share information.In November of 2024, the SEI brought together stakeholders from the Department of Defense and the intelligence community (IC) who have been engaging and actively innovating in the dynamic environment of digital engineering. Our workshop focused mostly upon model-based systems engineering (MBSE) as a…

By David Stephen What is the difference between any tool ever made or used by humans and artificial intelligence? What is the category among tools, that AI places? Humans have tools for transport, water, food, learning, shelter, clothing and so forth, but where does AI fit among these? Is Human Intelligence Obsolete? Neurosymbolic AI If AI is a tool to augment or assist human intelligence, is that comparable to [say] tools for transport because human motion is limited? Since the limitation is universal and all human endeavors do not involve efficient locomotion, whenever transportation tools advance, they rarely threaten jobs or…
Organizations that align ambition with physics rather than narratives will gain durable advantages in 2026 2026 will not be a year of new network generations or completed AI buildouts. It will be a year where the gap between plans and physical reality becomes impossible to ignore. Everyone involved already knows this at some level. What changes in 2026 is not knowledge, but behavior. On the telecommunications side, 6G remains firmly in its study phase. On the AI side, demand is real and growing, but energy, construction timelines, and grid politics begin to bind. The contrast between these two trajectories explains…
The following article originally appeared on Medium and is being republished here with the author’s permission. This post is a follow-up to a post from last week on the progress of logging. A colleague pushed back on the idea that we’d soon be running code we don’t fully understand. He was skeptical: “We’ll still be the ones writing the code, right? You can only support the code if you wrote it, right?…right?” That’s the assumption—but it’s already slipping. You Don’t Have to Write (or Even Read) Every Line Anymore I gave him a simple example. I needed drag-and-drop ordering in…
