A PM's Guide to AI Agent Architecture

Last week, I was talking to a PM who'd in the recent months shipped their AI agent. The metrics looked great: 89% accuracy, sub-second respond times, positive user feedback in surveys. But users were abandoning the agent after their first real problem, like a user with both a billing dispute and a locked account. "Our agent could handle routine requests perfectly, but when faced with complex issues, users would try once, get frustrated, and immediately ask for a human." This pattern is observe

RFK Jr. Says He Doesn’t Know How Many Americans Died From Covid During Heated Senate Hearing

gizmodo.com Ed Cara 2025-10-16 09:05:08

Fresh off the internal collapse of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s senior leadership, U.S. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. testified before the Senate Finance Committee on Thursday. There, Kennedy deflected and denied any harmful impacts from the CDC’s implosion, while repeatedly spouting misinformation about vaccines and other health issues. The hearing comes after much of the CDC’s leadership resigned or were fired in last week. Former CDC director Susan Monarez was f

Anyone can now download Tesla's iOS Robotaxi app, but there's still a waitlist

engadget.com Unknown 2025-10-16 13:55:23

Tesla has made its iOS Robotaxi app available for all iPhone users to download as it expands service beyond a group of early access users for the first time. Beyond the current lack of an Android app (Tesla says one is on the way), there are a couple of things to bear in mind here. The company's proper robotaxis are currently only available in Austin, Texas. There's also a waitlist, so you won't be able to book a ride immediately.

I’m a laptop reviewer, meaning I spend most of my time hunched over a new laptop, obsessively testing the display, keyboard, and performance. I’m also 6'2" and often find myself at tables designed for eating, not working. I don’t always have daily access to the laptop stands and ergonomic accessories that fill my home office.

Francesco Cacciatore is a self-proclaimed skeptic. Yet after spending two decades in the European aerospace industry and hitting, as he put it, a “crisis,” he made an undeniably optimistic bet: he started a space company. “You ask yourself, ‘What am I doing?’” he said in a recent interview. “I got offered some interesting opportunities, but then I kind of collapsed and realized I wanted to try and build something myself.” That something turned out to be one of the most challenging problems in
