What Would a Kubernetes 2.0 Look Like

Around 2012-2013 I started to hear a lot in the sysadmin community about a technology called "Borg". It was (apparently) some sort of Linux container system inside of Google that ran all of their stuff. The terminology was a bit baffling, with something called a "Borglet" inside of clusters with "cells" but the basics started to leak. There was a concept of "services" and a concept of "jobs", where applications could use services to respond to user requests and then jobs to complete batch jobs t

Foundry (YC F24) Hiring Early Engineer to Build Web Agent Infrastructure

Location: San Francisco, CA Why Foundry Exists: Most of what people do at work sucks—it's manual, repetitive, and wastes time. Recruiters spend hours every day on LinkedIn, CRMs, email, and tedious data entry tasks instead of focusing on the things humans actually do well: building relationships, strategy, and decision-making. We're building tools so that AI agents can use web browsers exactly like humans, navigating enterprise apps like Salesforce, SAP, or Workday without constant manual inte

Lawyers Just Discovered Something About Meta's AI That Could Cost Zuckerberg Untold Billions of Dollars

A legal expert found that Meta's AI is able to spit out entire portions of books verbatim — and if he's right, it could be seriously bad news for the company and its CEO Mark Zuckerberg. First, a quick primer. All the AI that's commercially buzzy at the moment, like OpenAI's ChatGPT or Meta's Llama, is trained by feeding in huge amounts of data. Then researchers do a bunch of number crunching using algorithms, basically teaching the system to recognize patterns in all that data so thoroughly th

Whatever Happened to Sandboxfs?

Back in 2017–2020, while I was on the Blaze team at Google, I took on a 20% project that turned into a bit of an obsession: sandboxfs. Born out of my work supporting iOS development, it was my attempt to solve a persistent pain point that frustrated both internal teams and external users alike: Bazel’s poor sandboxing performance on macOS. sandboxfs was a user-space file system designed to efficiently create virtual file hierarchies backed by real files—a faster alternative to the “symlink fore

Subtype Inference by Example

In recent years, there has been increasing interest in tools and programming languages that can automatically detect common types of bugs, in order to improve product quality and programmer productivity. Most commonly, this is done via static type systems, but traditional static type systems require large amounts of manual annotation by programmers, making them difficult to work with. Therefore, modern programming languages make increasing use of type inference, which provides the same benefits

OxCaml - a set of extensions to the OCaml programming language.

Let’s talk about what this means! OxCaml’s extensions are meant to make OCaml a great language for performance engineering. Performance engineering requires control, and we want that control to be: Safe. Safety is a critical feature for making programmers more productive, and for shipping correct code. Languages that are pervasively unsafe are too hard to use correctly. Convenient. We want to provide control without bewildering programmers, or drowning them in endless annotations. To achieve

MLB is testing robotic umpires in Spring Training, eyes 2026 implementation

Forward-looking: Major League Baseball is testing a computerized system for calling balls and strikes during spring training exhibition games. This Automated Ball-Strike System (ABS), which has been in development for four years in the minor leagues, could aid MLB home plate umpires as early as 2026. The ABS uses a network of cameras installed in stadiums to track each pitch and determine whether it crosses home plate within the strike zone. The current iteration uses Hawk-Eye pose-tracking cam
