TL;DR: Mandarin pronunciation has been hard for me, so I took ~300 hours of transcribed speech and trained a small CTC model to grade my pronunciation.

So instead, I decided to build a deep learning–based Computer-Assisted Pronunciation Training (CAPT) system that could run entirely on-device.

If the audio is "hello", the raw output might look like:h h h e e l l l l l l o o oCollapsing repeats and removing blanks gives hello .

That hides pronunciation errors, because the writing system encodes meaning rather than pronunciation.

Tone Accuracy: accuracy over tones 1-5.

The United States Department of Justice does not miss deadlines because it is confused.

In my case, a federal judge issued a straightforward order.

Respond within twenty-eight days after the federal government shutdown ended.

And the Department of Justice responded the way an entitled institution responds when it believes the rules are for other people.

Foundry is a self-writing meta-extension for OpenClaw that learns how you work, researches documentation, and writes new capabilities into itself.

Why Self-Writing MattersThe key insight isn't "LLM writes code for you" — it's "the system upgrades itself."

Workflow LearningFoundry tracks every workflow you run:Goal: "deploy to staging" Tools: git → build → test → deploy Outcome: success Duration: 45sOver time, patterns emerge.

Provides guidance on using the OpenClaw browser tool effectively.

Mike Stonebraker published an excellent blog posting yesterday at the CACM site : Errors in Database Systems, Eventual Consistency, and the CAP Theorem .

In this article, Mike challenges the application of Eric Brewer’s CAP Theorem by the NoSQL database community.

Many of the high-scale NoSQL system implementers have argued that the CAP theorem forces them to go with an eventual consistent model.

CAP and the application of eventual consistency doesn’t directly protect us against application or database implementation errors.

Apps needed full consistency are now easier to write and, where only eventual consistency is needed, its available as well.

Judge rules out capital punishment, but 27-year-old still faces federal stalking charges and state-level murder charges.

A New York judge has dismissed murder and weapons charges against Luigi Mangione, meaning that prosecutors can no longer seek the death penalty in the case accusing him of killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.

Mangione, the Ivy League-educated scion of a wealthy Maryland family, previously pleaded not guilty to federal murder, weapons and stalking charges for allegedly gunning down Thompson in December 2024.

Jury selection in the federal case is scheduled to begin on September 8.

Vitamin D cuts heart attack risk by 52%.

This is important since heart attacks are the #1 cause of death, about one billion people worldwide are deficient in Vitamin D, and supplementing vitamin D is cheap.

Participants in the experiment arm who stayed within 40-80 ng/mL of vitamin D had a 52% lower risk of a repeat heart attack.

We’ll cover the physiological mechanisms that link Vitamin D₃ and D₂ to heart health, how to measure vitamin D, specific ways to get more vitamin D, and potential future work.

Second, while Vitamin D seems to be an effective intervention to reduce heart attack risk, we don’t yet know whether Vitamin D is an independent marker of heart disease risk or whether it’s r…

Then run the Turing machine, stopping if the Turing machine head goes further to the right than where it started.

We’ve said that we find the output by reading off what’s on the Turing machine tape when the Turing machine stops.

But another measure is how much “space” it takes, or, more specifically, with our setup, how far to the left the Turing machine head goes—which determines how much “Turing machine memory” or “tape” has to be present.

But the P vs. NP question is about comparing the capabilities of such deterministic Turing machines with the capabilities of nondeterministic—or multiway—Turing machines.

Or, in other words, we would be “doing a nondeterministic computation”, or in effe…

The recent federal raid on the home of Washington Post reporter Hannah Natanson isn’t merely an attack by the Trump administration on the free press.

In other words, a judge gave the FBI permission to attempt to bypass biometrics: the convenient shortcuts that let you unlock your phone by scanning your fingerprint or face.

Natanson and the Washington Post did not respond to multiple requests for comment.

For instance, the warrant explicitly stated they could not ask Natanson which specific finger she uses for biometrics, if any.

The FBI’s search and seizure warrant for Washington Post reporter Hannah Natanson details how authorities could use her fingers or face to unlock her phone.

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani speaks at a press conference at Gracie Mansion in New York City, on Jan. 12, 2026.

This article is co-reported with THE CITY, a non-profit newsroom that serves the people of New York.

A spokesperson for the mayor, Dora Pekec, confirmed in a text message that the new administration plans to take down the chatbot.

“The previous administration had an AI chatbot that was functionally unusable,” Mamdani said.

The Adams administration defended the bot, saying it would improve over time.

Privacy / Enterprise Microsoft Just Killed the "Cover for Me" Excuse: 365 Now Tracks You in Real-TimeLook, we all knew it was coming, but now it's official.

Their new update for Microsoft 365 allows companies to track exactly where you are, and the days of pretending to be at your desk are over.

Microsoft confirmed that starting March 2026 (delayed from January), managers will be able to see your real-time location.

If you connect to a Wi-Fi network that isn't your company's, Teams will simply display the name of that network.

For hybrid workers or anyone who values a shred of privacy, Microsoft 365 just became a lot more invasive.

Whoa there!

You have triggered an abuse detection mechanism.

Please wait a few minutes before you try again;in some cases this may take up to an hour.

I’m trying to validate whether the real bottleneck is execution, not capture.

Before writing code, I’m trying to pin down two things:- Project context signals (repo/PRs?

(explicit ratings vs completion events vs doc-based write-back)What I’m asking from you:1.Where does your “second brain” break down the most?

2.What best represents “active project context” for you today?

3.What’s your hard “no” for an AI that suggests actions from your notes/links?

The ongoing saga of a programmer who doesn't live in Boston, nor does he even like Boston, but yet named his weblog/journal “The Boston Diaries.”Wow.

The difference between a tool and a crutch is when you forget you are the master of the tool and follow it blindly.

I was using the term “crutch” in a derogatory manner since I don't have a better term for what I'm describing.

And after that, I don't really know what to say.

Clearly there is a need for the people who "don't really care how it works underneath", as well as those who do.

This leads to the creation of some painful (nested) feedback loops:The more you vibe code, the more you vibe code.

Vibe code Don’t fully understand the output, some code is worse than when you started Code lands in the codebase Making changes manually becomes harder Vibe coding intensifies The more vibe code, the harder it is to review.

If code is good code, its origin is not obvious.

It doesn’t need to be obvious: good code is good code.

I’m quite fond of Cursor’s Bugbot, which feels like the most robust automated code review offering (that I’ve used).

Much of our ecosystem was crafted by hand, with a lot of care and love, so it is unsurprising that the rise in LLM contributions may at first feel threatening.

I start this post outlining concerns, since these have been the topic of most AI conversations within our community.

We are only starting to engage more with AI contributions, only starting to see its impact on our projects and our collaborative culture.

Potential Benefits#Notwithstanding the above concerns, and pervading sentiments around AI in our community, I think it’s worth honestly assessing potential benefits.

This post is part of an effort to come up with a community approach to AI and AI-generated contributions.

However, few guides to job interview questions are tuned to embedded systems developers.

Coding QuestionsThe hallmarks of embedded systems interviews are questions about packed and aligned data structures, endianness, toolchains, and bitwise operations.

They may not apply to the embedded software job to which you’re applying.

Nobody works alone, so some questions for embedded systems developers focus on how you collaborate.

UPDATE / 4 MINUTE READ A Story of Computer-Use: Where We Started, Where We're Headed JANUARY 28, 2026Published on Jan 28, 2026 by Francesco Bonacci.

After building benchmarks at Microsoft, we saw what was missing: robust, open-source infrastructure for running computer-use agents safely.

But the paradigm is clear: the future of computer-use agents is modular, and user-controlled.

The infrastructure for running computer-use agents should be self-hostable, open, and owned by the developers who build on it.

Francesco Bonacci is the CEO of Cua, building open-source infrastructure for computer-use agents.

AI coding is providing good examples of Amdahl’s law at work.

When you optimize a single part of a sequential process, the time the process takes ends up being dominated by its other parts.

You might still want at least some degree of the human element in the code review process.

Industry standard code review processes can’t keep up with the volume of code being changed.

In the grand scheme of things, these problems are probably temporary growing pains amid the shift to agentic coding.

In the images table we have a synthetic integer “ id ” column.

If the image status in the main table is different, you get a foreign key constraint violation.

Here we also define a foreign key constraint on (image_id, status) pair, referring to (id, status) pair in the “ images ” table.

On page 459 only a lax design is discussed: EMP and SALESMAN tables, connected by the “ EMP# ” foreign key.

ConclusionThis post presents a clear description of a pure relational approach to modeling subtypes and dependent data.

Ingress NGINX: Statement from the Kubernetes Steering and Security Response CommitteesIn March 2026, Kubernetes will retire Ingress NGINX, a piece of critical infrastructure for about half of cloud native environments.

To be abundantly clear: choosing to remain with Ingress NGINX after its retirement leaves you and your users vulnerable to attack.

Despite its broad appeal and widespread use by companies of all sizes, and repeated calls for help from the maintainers, the Ingress NGINX project never received the contributors it so desperately needed.

Unfortunately, the flexibility Ingress NGINX was designed with, that was once a boon, has become a burden that cannot be resolved.

Training on your private data teaches them, but generating synthetic training data from private codebases that works for agents has been challenging and cost-prohibitive.

The result: we match SWE-smith, a synthetic data method, at 57× lower cost and SkyRL, an open-source reinforcement learning (RL) system, at 26× lower cost.

*2 GPUs were used for synthetic training data generation.

This means correct coding data is less important than data that reflects how a developer works on a problem.

To validate our synthetic data generation strategy, we tested repository-specific specialization on Django, SymPy, and Sphinx—the three largest repositories in SWE-Bench.

I’ve started to think of this as backseat software: the slow shift from software as a tool you operate to software as a channel that operates on you.

The software didn’t constantly change underneath you, and it didn’t have the opportunity to ask for your attention beyond whatever UI the developers shipped on day one.

And just like that, the tool starts acting less like a tool and more like a stalker.

Software didn’t break all at once.

That’s what good software used to feel like and what it could feel like again.

The Names They Call ThemselvesJonathan Rauch, writing for The Atlantic, “Yes, It’s Fascism” (gift link):Until recently, I resisted using the F-word to describe President Trump.

The job won’t be done, this era of madness will not end, until we make the names they call themselves universally acknowledged slurs.

Make those names shameful, deservedly, now, and there will be no need to apply the shameful names of hateful anti-democratic illiberal failed nationalist movements from a century ago.

It's a sad day for many ChatGPT users.

"We know that losing access to GPT‑4o will feel frustrating for some users, and we didn't make this decision lightly," the company wrote in its announcement.

What to expectThe good news is that for most ChatGPT users, the transition should feel pretty seamless -- at least in the most practical terms.

separate tests for the cases that succeed and those that fail. Instead, this

approach lets you unify them.I tweaked it to this, which I think reads nicely:from contextlib import nullcontext as produces import pytest

Netflix is driving the Hollywood end game, likely confident it can increase the value of IP, and fend off YouTube.

OpenAI and Nvidia are both under threat from Google; I like OpenAI's chances best, but they need an advertising model to beat Google as an Aggregator.

Today is the publication of the third edition of Autism

Adulthood: Insights and Creative Strategies for a Fulfilling Life. It’s my

wife Susan’s book collecting stories and experiences from

people all along the autism spectrum, from the self-diagnosed to the

profound.The book includes dozens of interviews with autistic adults, their parents,

caregivers, researchers, and professionals. Everyone’s experience of autism is

different. Reading others’ stories and perspectives can give us a glimpse into

other possibilities for ourselves and our loved ones.If you have someone in your life on the spectrum, or are on it yourself, I

guarantee you will find new ways to understand the breadth of what aut…

Robotaxis are poised to further close the delta between suburbs and the city; the city (and Uber) might never recover.

In Why your mock doesn’t work I explained this rule of

mocking:Mock where the object is used, not where it’s

defined.That blog post explained why that rule was important: often a mock doesn’t

work at all if you do it wrong. But in some cases, the mock will work even if

you don’t follow this rule, and then it can break much later. Why?Let’s say you have code like this:# user.py def get_user_settings() -> str: with open(Path("~/settings.json").expanduser()) as f: return json.load(f) def add_two_settings() -> int: settings = get_user_settings() return settings["opt1"] + settings["opt2"] You write a simple test:def test_add_two_settings(): # NOTE: need to create ~/settings.json for this to work…

It’s been a busy, bumpy week with coverage.py. Some things did not go

smoothly, and I didn’t handle everything as well as I could have.It started with trying to fix issue 2064 about

conflicts between the “sysmon” measurement core and a concurrency setting.To measure your code, coverage.py needs to know what code got executed. To

know that, it collects execution events from the Python interpreter. CPython now

has two mechanisms for this: trace functions and sys.monitoring. Coverage.py

has two implementations of a trace function (in C and in Python), and an

implementation of a sys.monitoring listener. These three components are the

measurement cores, known as “ctrace”, “pytrace”, and “sysmon”…

We are in an AI Bubble: the big question is if this bubble will worth it for the physical infrastructure and coordinated innovation that result?

Last night was a Boston Python project night where I

had a good conversation with a few people that was mostly guided by questions

from a nice guy named Mark.How to write nice code in researchMark works in research and made the classic observation that research code is

often messy, and asked about how to make it nicer.I pointed out that for software engineers, the code is the product. For

research, the results are the product, so there’s a reason the code can be and

often is messier. It’s important to keep the goal in mind. I mentioned it might

not be worth it to add type annotations, detailed docstrings, or whatever else

would make the code “nice”.But the more you can make “nice” a habit, …

Decreasing transportation and communications costs increases resiliency in theory, but destroys it in practice. The only way to have resiliency is through less efficiency.

OpenAI is making a play to be the Windows of AI: the all-encompassing platform that controls both hardware supplier and software developers.

Sora is going viral, suggesting there is a big opportunity in unlocking creativity. If that's true, that's good for humanity — and bad for Meta.

My goal with sdr agent ids to make the agent prospect and push it into a cadence and work autonomously across LinkedIn, emails and calls at my Omni channel touch point system.

My config: There are three agents working in silos.

I must mention that setting up voice agent with vapi was incredible experience.

I was able to set up a working one in under 10 mins.

Next steps: 1) glue all the three agents via some super agent so they can work seamlessly and autonomously 2) bring in a cadence agent so outreach cadence will be achieved by the agent

TL;DR: Mandarin pronunciation has been hard for me, so I took ~300 hours of transcribed speech and trained a small CTC model to grade my pronunciation.

So instead, I decided to build a deep learning–based Computer-Assisted Pronunciation Training (CAPT) system that could run entirely on-device.

If the audio is "hello", the raw output might look like:h h h e e l l l l l l o o oCollapsing repeats and removing blanks gives hello .

That hides pronunciation errors, because the writing system encodes meaning rather than pronunciation.

Tone Accuracy: accuracy over tones 1-5.

Foundry is a self-writing meta-extension for OpenClaw that learns how you work, researches documentation, and writes new capabilities into itself.

Why Self-Writing MattersThe key insight isn't "LLM writes code for you" — it's "the system upgrades itself."

Workflow LearningFoundry tracks every workflow you run:Goal: "deploy to staging" Tools: git → build → test → deploy Outcome: success Duration: 45sOver time, patterns emerge.

Provides guidance on using the OpenClaw browser tool effectively.

# Quick reference browser open https://example.com browser snapshot # AI-readable format browser click ref=btn_submit browser type ref=input_email "[email protected]"How It Works1.

Proper sandboxing, network policies, container isolation.

So somewhere between family dinner and a walk in the forest, I shipped a hosted AI agent platform.

You sign up, scan a QR code, and you have an AI agent running in an isolated environment.

Under the hoodFor those who care about how the isolation actually works:Each user gets their own container running in Kubernetes.

Actual container isolation with strict NetworkPolicies.

You just closed your Series A. The wire hit last week, and now you’re staring at a hiring plan that calls for tripling your team in eighteen months. Most founders treat this moment as a signal to start calling recruiters. That instinct, while understandable, often leads to the most expensive mistake of the scaling journey. […]

The post What Series A founders get wrong about hiring appeared first on EU-Startups.

Series A is often described as a slingshot, but for many founders it feels more like a centrifuge. The centre wobbles, momentum increases, and yet outcomes can feel oddly misaligned. Roughly half of startups stall or fold after Series A, not because they fail to grow, but because growth alone does not create organisational alignment. […]
