Cassey Ho was getting her roots dyed when she started receiving hundreds of ecstatic messages. In a video clip promoting her song “Fortnight,” Taylor Swift was shown wearing the Pirouette Skort, a flouncy, tutu-style skirt with built-in shorts underneath, that Ho had designed for her athleisure brand Popflex. She knew immediately this exposure — one of the world’s biggest pop stars, flaunting Ho’s design — would be life-changing. “I am just numb. I can’t even scream, I can’t even speak,” she re

This startup thinks email could be the key to usable AI agents

techcrunch.com Rebecca Bellan 2025-07-22 12:06:48

AI companies are pushing agents as the next Great Workplace Disruptor, but experts say they’re still not ready for prime time. AI agents often struggle to make decisions by themselves, hallucinate frequently, can’t cooperate with other agents, fail at confidentiality awareness, and integrate poorly with existing systems. Industry pioneers like Andrej Karpathy and Ali Ghodsi have said that, like the deployment of autonomous vehicles, humans need to be in the loop in order for agents to succeed.

How To Migrate From OpenAI to Cerebrium for Cost-Predictable AI Inference If you're building an AI application, you probably started with OpenAI's convenient APIs. However, as your application scales, you'll need more control over costs, models, and infrastructure. Cerebrium is a serverless AI infrastructure platform that lets you run open-source models on dedicated hardware with predictable, time-based pricing instead of token-based billing.

Airline pricing may seem mystifying, but behind every airfare is a complex system of fare buckets and inventory controls.

For the technically curious, understanding how fare buckets work reveals the "source code" of airline revenue management.

Improving End-to-End Tests to Reduce Flakiness: Tools and Strategies

There’s nothing worse than a test suite that fails randomly. Flaky end-to-end (E2E) tests erode confidence, slow down releases, and lead developers to ignore legitimate failures. If your team starts using the term “CI roulette,” it’s time to act. Flaky tests are fixable—but it takes visibility, discipline, and the right tooling. What Is a Flaky Test?

Radical New Theory Rewrites the Story of the Earliest Universe

gizmodo.com Gayoung Lee 2025-07-24 04:05:38

Following the Big Bang, our universe expanded at an exponential rate. According to this theory, known as cosmic inflation, the explosive growth produced tiny quantum fluctuations that later evolved into galaxies. Cosmic inflation neatly explains how our universe got so large and mostly homogenous, and that’s why it’s remained a strong theory in cosmology for decades. But it’s far from perfect.
