Close the loop: analytics that teach your chatbot to fix itself

Many chatbots stall for the same reason. Unanswered questions build up and nothing changes. Teams ship a release and move on. Users try again and give up. The way out is simple. Treat every miss as a signal. Capture it in a standard way. Decide whether it was noise or a real gap. Turn real gaps into small updates in guardrails or knowledge. Run that loop every week. Measure how fast it moves. Results improve without bigger models. Start with lean instrumentation Analytics only works if the tra

Life, work, death and the peasant: Rent and extraction

This is the third piece of the fourth part of our series (I, II, IIIa, IIIb, IVa, IVb) looking at the lives of pre-modern peasant farmers – a majority of all of the humans who have ever lived. Last time, we started looking at the subsistence of peasant agriculture by considering the productivity of our model farming families under basically ideal conditions: relatively good yields and effectively infinite land. This week we’re going to start peeling back those assumptions in light of the very s

Legal win

Just got word that the court dismissed several of WP Engine and Silver Lake’s most serious claims — antitrust, monopolization, and extortion have been knocked out! These were by far the most significant and far-reaching allegations in the case and with today’s decision the case is narrowed significantly. This is a win not just for us but for all open source maintainers and contributors. Huge thanks to the folks at Gibson and Automattic who have been working on this. With respect to any remainin

Ram ends EV pickup truck plans

The all-electric Ram 1500 REV pickup truck is dead. Long live the extended-range Ram 1500 REV (once called the Ramcharger). Stellantis, the parent company of Ram, said Friday that it will no longer develop a battery-electric full-size pickup. The company cited low demand for full-size battery-electric trucks as the primary reason, according to a statement sent to TechCrunch and posted on its website. “As demand for full-size battery-electric trucks slows in North America, Stellantis is reasses

Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade hits the Switch 2 on January 22

Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade comes out for the Switch 2 on January 22, 2026, which was revealed at today's lengthy Nintendo Direct livestream . This is the first entry in the remake trilogy and primarily takes place in the opening city of Midgar. You'll have to wait until Final Fantasy VII Rebirth to explore the overworld map, and there's no Switch 2 release date for that one yet. This release does include the Episode Intermission DLC , which involves the ninja Yuffie on a mission to ste

New pathway engineered into plants lets them suck up more CO₂

Lots of people are excited about the idea of using plants to help us draw down some of the excess carbon dioxide we've been pumping into the atmosphere. It would be nice to think that we could reforest our way out of the mess we're creating, but recent studies have indicated there's simply not enough productive land for this to work out. One alternative might be to get plants to take up carbon dioxide more efficiently. Unfortunately, the enzyme that incorporates carbon dioxide into photosynthes

Hades II is coming to Switch and Switch 2 on September 25

Supergiant has a thing for dropping its biggest Hades news at Nintendo Directs. Five years after launching the first game during a Nintendo stream, the developer struck again. The 1.0 version of Hades II is coming on September 25, for Switch and Switch 2. Of course, Hades II isn't exactly new to PC players. It's been in early access there for 16 months.

How Palantir is mapping the nation’s data

When the U.S. government signs contracts with private technology companies, the fine print rarely reaches the public. Palantir Technologies, however, has attracted more and more attention over the past decade because of the size and scope of its contracts with the government. Palantir’s two main platforms are Foundry and Gotham. Each does different things. Foundry is used by corporations in the private sector to help with global operations. Gotham is marketed as an “operating system for global

An engineering history of the Manhattan Project

The Manhattan Project, the US program to build an atomic bomb during WWII, is one of the most famous and widely known major government projects: a survey in 1999 ranked the dropping of the atomic bomb as the top news story of the 20th century. Virtually everyone knows that the project built the bombs that were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. And most of us probably know that the bomb was built by some of the world’s best physicists, working under Robert Oppenheimer at Los Alamos in New Mexico

Exactly Six Months Ago, the CEO of Anthropic Said That in Six Months AI Would Be Writing 90 Percent of Code

With so many wild predictions flying around about the future AI, it’s important to occasionally take a step back and check in on what came true — and what hasn’t come to pass. Exactly six months ago, Dario Amodei, the CEO of massive AI company Anthropic, claimed that in half a year, AI would be "writing 90 percent of code." And that was the worst-case scenario; in just three months, he predicted, we could hit a place where "essentially all" code is written by AI. As the CEO of one of the buzzi

Anti-AGI Protester Now on Day Nine of Hunger Strike in Front of Anthropic Headquarters

Artificial general intelligence, the prospect of a synthetic entity meeting or exceeding the cognitive power of a human, is a polarizing topic. For some, like OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, it's a mission statement — the lodestar guiding the company's $300 billion operations. For others, like activist and organizer Guido Reichstadter, it's an existential threat to be resisted at any cost. Reichstader is now on day nine of a grueling anti-AGI hunger strike in front of the San Francisco headquarters of

Lyft launches autonomous fleet with May Mobility in Atlanta

Lyft and May Mobility have teamed up to launch a fleet of autonomous vehicles in Atlanta. It's a pilot program, so it's currently only available to Lyft riders in the area of midtown Atlanta. The companies promise a "measured, safety-first approach" with this rollout. The fleet consists of hybrid-electric Toyota Sienna Autono-MaaS vehicles equipped with May Mobility’s self-driving technology. Lyft and May Mobility announced this partnership last year, but Atlanta is the first city to get a flee

Semantic Line Breaks (2017)

Conventional markup languages like HTML and XML exhibit a similar behavior in pa

Developers joke about “coding like cavemen” as AI service suffers major outage

On Wednesday afternoon, Anthropic experienced a brief but complete service outage that took down its AI infrastructure, leaving developers unable to access Claude.ai, the API, Claude Code, or the management console for around half an hour. The outage affected all three of Anthropic's main services simultaneously, with the company posting at 12:28 pm Eastern that "APIs, Console, and Claude.ai are down. Services will be restored as soon as possible." As of press time, the services appear to be res

Anthropic reports outages, Claude and Console impacted

Users on GitHub and Hacker News noted issues with Claude at around 12:20 ET, with Anthropic releasing a status update eight minutes later, noting that its APIs, Console, and Claude AI were down. At press time, the company said it had implemented several fixes and was monitoring the results. “We’re aware of a very brief outage of our API today shortly before 9:30am PT,” an Anthropic spokesperson told

If the AI Industry Fails, It Could Take the Rest of Us Down With It

Don't let AI critics tell you it's good for nothing: the amount of money being spent on AI infrastructure is so enormous that it’s literally propping up the US economy. The drawback, of course, is that if the AI industry fails, it could drag the rest of the economy down with it. In 2024, the S&P 500 grew by an incredible 24 percent — what the investment firm Charles Schwab understatedly called a "very good year." Since 2023, nearly half the growth was clustered in just a handful of tech stocks
