Most enterprise AI projects do not fail because the model is bad. They fail because the data feeding it is a mess: broken pipelines, mismatched systems, and context locked in one engineer’s head. Upriver, an Israeli startup, has raised $14M to automate the cleanup, betting that this dull but critica
Last November, YouTube started experimenting with a feature that would allow users to have conversations with others within its mobile app, but it was only available in Ireland and Poland. The feature was rolled out in some European countries in March, and it's now expanding to more global markets,
One simple fix kept the phone's temperature under control
We know that Siri AI and other Apple Intelligence features are powered by Google’s Gemini models, but Apple has been at pains to point out that this is not the same as running Gemini on iPhone. While there are still some unknowns, a far clearer picture is emerging about exactly what all of this mean
Deezer has built a free tool that will tell you how much of your music was made by a machine, even if you stream it somewhere else. The French service has opened its AI-music detector to the public, letting anyone scan their playlists on Spotify, Apple Music, and around 20 other platforms for AI-gen
Apple TV today announced the release date for the sixth season of its popular spy drama series Slow Horses, based on the books by Mick Herron. The show stars Gary Oldman as the leader of a ‘dumping ground’ division inside MI5 known for its blunders more than its successes. Season 6 will premiere on
The SpaceX IPO is set to price the biggest stock-market debut in history this week, raising about $75bn at a valuation near $1.75tn, with shares trading on Nasdaq from Friday. But the most consequential thing about Elon Musk’s rocket company going public may have little to do with rockets, or with M
US AI giants are planting flags in London at a pace the city has never seen, and in doing so they are turning the British capital into the clearest rival to San Francisco, while making life harder for the homegrown startups they are landing next to. In the past few months Anthropic has taken office
AI aside, Golden Gate includes a bunch of subtle-but-helpful improvements.
One of Europe’s oldest deep-tech specialists is opening a London office, and pitching it as a fresh expansion into new territory. Companies House tells a slightly different story. Vsquared Ventures, founded in Munich and known for raising one of Europe’s largest early-stage deep-tech funds, quietly
The partnership will see TCS creating a business unit focused on deploying Anthropic's AI models to its customers.
Every developer I know understands that passwords are broken. What fewer people have actually dug into is why passkeys fix this at the protocol level — and how surprisingly simple the WebAuthn API is to implement. Here's the full picture: what's happening cryptographically, how the browser API works
Open any package.json that's been alive for a year and I'll bet there's a npm audit, still adding seconds to npm install. Nobody removes it because nobody's sure it's safe to The classic answer was depcheck. I reached for it for years — until I noticed it got archived in 2025 with a long tail of rea
This article is a follow-up to "The Blind Spot of Agentic AI Systems". If you haven't read it yet, it explains why this tool exists in the first place. A foundation doesn't define what is built. It defines what can be built. The quality of the material, the depth of the anchoring, the density of the
I was building a small library that reads accounting files — GnuCash first, other formats maybe later. It's the textbook case for pluggable implementations: an AccBook interface in the API module, one implementation per format in its own module, and the application picks up whichever one is on the p
Every cloud exit strategy has the same structural problem: by the time the exit decision gets made, the architecture already made it impossible. Not expensive. Not risky. Non-computable. You can't model the cost because you can't enumerate what changes. You can't enumerate what changes because nobod
A Hacker News thread posted this week — 'Ask HN: What is your (AI) dev tech stack / workflow?' — surfaced something the industry has been slow to name directly: skepticism around AI-generated code is maturing from a novelty concern into a structural one. Engineers aren't questioning whether AI can w
What if we've been writing prompts the wrong way? For the last two years, the AI community has focused on writing better prompts. We've all written prompts that look something like this: You are an expert product strategist, UX designer, SEO consultant, copywriter, researcher, workflow architect...
In the modern data ecosystem, audio is everywhere. We record customer support calls, sales syncs, product brainstorming sessions, voice memos, and podcasts. Yet, for many companies, these thousands of hours of audio remain a dark data silo. For years, the standard technical solution was simple Speec
A paywall is one of the more interesting engineering problems on the web, because the publisher has to satisfy two goals that pull in opposite directions. It needs Google to index the article so people can find it and click through — which means a search crawler has to see the full text. But it also
