Concern Grows That Elon Musk Is Having Some Kind of AI Meltdown

With all the frenzied news swirling around these days, it's understandable if you let Elon Musk slip from the top of your mind. While the billionaire's mental state was arguably frayed during his stint as DOGE czar — thanks in no small part to what's been reported as a constant stream of illicit drugs — it's become visibly more concerning since his dramatic departure earlier this summer. Seemingly trying to distract himself from the decline of Tesla, the world's richest man has embarked on a n

Apple is about to finally give iPad users the best reason to go iPad Pro

It is super affordable at just $25 but is designed to offer the comfort of much pricier vertical ergonomic options.

When designing software systems, do the simplest thing that could possibly work. It’s surprising how far you can take this piece of advice. I genuinely think you can do this all the time. You can follow this approach for fixing bugs, for maintaining existing systems, and for architecting new ones. A lot of engineers design by trying to think of the “ideal” system: something well-factored, near-infinitely scalable, elegantly distributed, and so on.
