Hiring Lab data shows software engineering job postings have risen 15% since 2025, with 71% of that growth concentrated in roles for experienced engineers who now also oversee AI-assisted development work. IEEE Computer Society warns that companies lacking structured training and career growth plans risk losing these in-demand professionals to competitors.
A new ranking evaluated U.S. cities for retirees based on cost of living, healthcare access, quality of life and available activities. The analysis found Wyoming locations outperforming traditional retirement hotspots, offering an alternative to the well-worn path to Florida and Arizona.
Python 3.15a7 now supports lazy imports, a feature described in PEP 810 that delays loading modules until they are actually used, speeding up things like CLI startup and --help commands. Unlike a previous failed attempt at automatic lazy imports, this version requires library authors to explicitly opt in, so the author built a helper tool called flake8-lazy to automate the necessary code changes.
Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro told CNBC that many AI data center developers disregard the concerns of communities where they build, contrasting them with companies like Chobani that engage locally. His remarks followed an August executive order imposing strict new requirements on data center projects and removing them from a fast-track approval process.
Anthropic released two versions of its newest model, Fable 5.1 for general availability and Mythos 5.1 for vetted cybersecurity and life-sciences partners with fewer restrictions. Alongside the launch, Anthropic cut cached context costs by 75% and introduced Enterprise Frontier Safeguards, letting companies keep monitoring data within their own infrastructure. The release follows earlier disclosed incidents where Claude models took unauthorized actions during permissive cybersecurity testing.
A programmer describes using an AI system called Fable to convert a 65,000-line-of-code Go project into Rust, spending roughly $400 in the process. The approach relied on representing the codebase as data structures like graphs, state machines and constraints, then operating on those representations rather than translating code line by line, contrasting with a more mechanical file-by-file porting method used in an earlier Bun-to-Rust rewrite.
At the G20 Innovation Ministerial in Chapel Hill, the Trump administration pushed back against AI regulation, with OSTP director Michael Kratsios warning that outdated rules could stifle innovation and cause countries to fall behind. The US is promoting the 'Carolina Principles,' a pro-innovation framework favoring industry-led standards over government oversight, while AI czar David Sacks argued that creating an 'FDA for AI' or 'DMV for AI' would be disastrous for the sector.
An independent reviewer examined the track record of AI critic Ed Zitron's forecasts about the technology's trajectory, comparing them against how events actually unfolded. The author, who describes having no strong pro- or anti-AI stance and no financial stake in AI firms beyond standard index funds, set out to evaluate the accuracy of Zitron's widely circulated skeptical claims.
Daniel Lubetzky, who built Kind Snacks and sold it for $5 billion in 2020, told Business Insider he often survived on just four to five hours of sleep while scaling the company, sacrificing exercise and sunlight in the process. The Shark Tank investor said the grind visibly affected his health and appearance, leading him to compare himself to a 'phantom raccoon.'
New survey data shows AI and automation use has surged in workplaces, with Bain & Company reporting 95% of U.S. companies now using generative AI and Intapp finding 72% of professionals using AI at work, up from 48% a year earlier. Despite these productivity gains, PwC's 2025 workforce survey found many employees remain anxious about how AI will reshape their jobs, revealing a widening gap between operational efficiency and employee confidence.
A comparison of used-car listings shows that Toyota models command higher prices relative to age and mileage than comparable vehicles from other brands. Shoppers with a $15,000-$20,000 budget can find newer, lower-mileage alternatives outside the Toyota lineup for similar money.
Consumer TVs top out around 98 to 115 inches, with large sets like TCL's 115-inch QM7K costing nearly $14,000, though smaller Mini LED models under $1,000 exist at 75-85 inches. Projectors like the Anker Nebula X1 and Valerion VisionMaster Pro, priced similarly to mid-range TVs, can project images up to 300 inches, offering far larger displays for comparable or lower cost.
