Subquadratic has launched a new AI architecture featuring a 12-million-token context window that outperforms GPT-5.5 on retrieval benchmarks.

The more I look at how we actually build systems now, the more it looks like Terraform is dead. Not “declining.” Not “evolving.” Dead. What’s left is just inertia. What Terraform Actually Solved Terraform solved a very specific problem: how do we make infrastructure deterministic, reviewable, and repeatable? The answer was a DSL, a plan step, and a state file. It worked, and it still works. But it also forced an awkward compromise. Humans ended up describing intent in a language that was never designed to express it, and HCL is not how anyone actually thinks about systems.

UK staff of Google’s AI research lab hope to block the use of the company’s artificial intelligence models in military settings.

I ran joost.blog through Cloudflare's isitagentready.com and got a 25. Here's what I built to close the gaps: markdown content negotiation, Content Signals, Link headers, an API catalog, an agent skills index, WebMCP tools, and a server-side MCP endpoint. Also: where the scoring gets it wrong.

: Researchers dropped a reliable root exploit and it didn’t sit idle for long

Marcin Wichary did a wonderful job of poking through a few of the dialog boxes revised by Adobe in recent versions of Photoshop and — surprise, surprise — they are not good in lots of pretty rudimentary ways: I know I brought up that an existing power user base can be a huge pain in […]

The jump comes on reports that Apple is discussing using Intel chips for its U.S. devices and follows a historic 114% surge last month.

As LLMs hit the limits of scale and cost, specialized SLMs are emerging as the faster, cheaper, and more private workhorse for the autonomous enterprise.

I have been recommending pgBackRest as the best backup tool for PostgreSQL for years. I even wrote a blog post about it. My students at Université Lyon I were able to backup, restore, and perform PITR in four hours with zero prior knowledge of the tool. That is how good it was. I say “was” because David Steele, the sole maintainer of pgBackRest, has announced on the project’s GitHub page that he is stopping all work on the project.
