Public health departments across the United States will test generative AI tools under a new programme involving the Coalition for Health AI, OpenAI, Anthropic, and Accenture. The Public Health Use Case and Learning Scaling Engine, known as PULSE, will support trials in 10 state, local, tribal, or territorial jurisdictions. The programme is intended to produce […] The post US public health agencies to test OpenAI and Anthropic AI models appeared first on AI News.
Moonshot AI’s Kimi K3 open-weight model has been read almost entirely through its parameter count since it launchedon July 16. At 2.8 trillion parameters, it is the largest open-weight model released to date. Model sizes are usually grouped into rough brackets, and 2.8 trillion rounds into what the industry calls the 3T class. A tier no […] The post Kimi K3 open-weight model: China’s biggest AI is a bet on memory, not compute appeared first on AI News.

My job-search tool had five functions whose only purpose was fixing JSON that Claude had just written. _clean_json_text, _fix_unescaped_newlines, _fix_single_quotes, _strip_markdown_wrapper, _extract_and_parse_json. There was also a sixth, _retry_json_fix, which took the broken JSON and sent it back to the model with a polite request to fix its own mess. I wrote every one of them, one bug at a time, over weeks. I was a little proud of them. That was the problem. How you end up with five parsers ...
That 130-file PR that shipped KeyEcho 1.0 contained a decision I never wrote about: the desktop app moved from Tauri 1 + Vue to Tauri 2 + SolidJS. The same summer, upweb.dev moved from Nuxt 4 to SolidStart, and keyecho.app (SSR, five languages, Stripe checkout) was built on SolidStart from scratch. Three separate decisions, same answer every time. Scope first. This post is about defaults for my personal projects. Near the end I'll cover two places where I still use React, one of which runs very ...
PSRESTful wasn't designed in a product meeting. It was built by a developer who spent years wiring PromoStandards integrations by hand: crafting SOAP envelopes, hunting down the right namespace for each service version, and parsing megabytes of XML just to answer "how many blue mugs are in stock?" Every feature on the platform exists because that pain was real. This post walks through what "developer-first" actually means in practice: the choices in the API itself, the tools around it, and the o...
Building Production-Grade LLM Evaluation Pipelines: From Vibes to Metrics How we replaced "looks good to me" with automated evaluation catching 92% of hallucinations before deployment The Problem: Why "Vibe Checks" Fail in Production Three months ago, our team shipped a RAG-based customer support assistant. It worked great in testing — we'd ask it questions, read the answers, and say "yeah, that looks right." Then it hit production. A customer asked about their billing cycle. The assistant confi...
Hey everyone! 👋 As a designer, I constantly needed high-quality vector topographic contour lines and generative patterns for branding, UI hero backgrounds, and print projects. Most existing tools were either heavy GIS software (like QGIS) or required static file purchases. So I built Topolines—a fast, web-based vector topographic generator. 🎛️ Key Features: Parametric Control: Fine-tune elevation density, noise scale, detail, and line weights in real-time. Custom Styling: Full visual control ove...
You've deployed your app to Kubernetes. The pod starts — then it gets killed. Or it's running but no traffic reaches it. Or it takes 90 seconds to initialize and gets restarted in a loop. Every one of these problems traces back to the same root cause: misconfigured or missing health probes. Kubernetes gives you three types of probes: livenessProbe, readinessProbe, and startupProbe. Each serves a different purpose. Mix them up and your pods restart in infinite loops. Get them right and your deplo...
A previous post covered how to absorb PHP 8.2 Deprecated warnings from WP-CLI using a three-layer defense. The approach — prepending WP_CLI_PHP_ARGS to set error_reporting — works in many environments. But a case came up where Deprecated warnings wouldn’t disappear despite the same configuration. Tracing the cause revealed a structural reason why the environment variable never arrived. This post records that root cause and the three-part fix added in v1.6.8. Why environment variables don’t arriv...

Regular Indexing works on a column level; it indexes the entire column value, but if you want to index each value in one row, then the GIN indexing technique is used. GIN can index each element of JSON stored in a JSONB field How Postgres creates a GIN file physically, what is the format of that file, how that file is retrieved in RAM while fetching records, what data types are used, and how Postgres calculates the exact address of an element of JSON are all explained in the article submitted by...

Forza Horizon 5 creative director Mike Brown has weighed in with his thoughts on the situation at Xbox currently, and one of the things he commented on was Xbox Game Pass. He said in an interview that Xbox Game Pass, simply put, was not able to attract enough subscribers to make it viable as a business, and this contributed to the pain Xbox is going through today. After all, we recently found out that Microsoft was hoping to have 77 million subscribers by now, but the number is actually only aro...
Video games are getting more expensive. The PS5 and the Xbox Series X|S have seen significant price hikes, the Switch 2 is due for a $50 price increase in September, and seemingly overnight, $70 has become the normal asking price for most new releases.But for many, the gaming industry's slide towards an all-digital future could be the final nail in the coffin. For years, the secondhand games industry has represented a cheaper and more accessible way of getting into the hobby. But PlayStation's p...
"Claire, with all due respect, what the hell did I just play?" It's the Spring of 2024, and one of my best friends, Kasey, has been sucked into the wonderful world of Fallout. But unlike most fans, Kasey got into the franchise via Amazon's incredibly well-produced Fallout television show. Naturally, she fell in love with the Wasteland, and immediately wanted to hop into playing the Fallout games, too. I'd suggested the most recent non-MMO in the series, Fallout 4, which was released in 2015. Unf...

How does a sex toy shop stand out in the modern era of easily obtainable neck massagers and bedside buddies? The answer is surprisingly easy, as all you have to do is look at a popular IP and put in some elbow grease to transform that idea into a surprisingly cute nightstand buddy. Which is exactly what one company has done, with the return of its line of Pokemon--or Pokemoan--sex toys. These will go on sale starting July 21, and let's see Pokemon scalpers try and ruin this launch. Geeky Sex Toy...
Tides of Annihilation developer Eclipse Glow Games has announced that voice actor Jennifer English will no longer be voicing the game's protagonist, Gwendolyn, due to personal health reasons.

English has already helped to recommend a new voice actor to take over as Gwendolyn, but Eclipse Glow Games has not yet revealed h...
Collecting bones in Phasmophobia is a great way to earn extra rewards and set yourself an additional (sometimes frustrating) challenge, but it's also crucial to achieving a perfect investigation. Each contract, one bone randomly spawns in the investigation area, offering you and your ghost hunting team the option to find it. But, unlike cursed objects, bones have no set spawn locations, so locating them—especially on larger maps— can be hard work. But it’s well worth finding them, even if they d...
In Phasmophobia, the Spirit Box is a piece of equipment that you can use to gather Spirit Box evidence, helping you to identify the ghost you're dealing with. When used under the right conditions, players can use the Spirit Box to communicate with the ghost by asking valid questions or saying recognized phrases. If the ghost has Spirit Box as one of its pieces of evidence, it will likely respond--though higher difficulty levels with less evidence may impact this. Its responses may not necessaril...
Among the flurry of announcements presented at MagicCon Amsterdam was the debut of The Hobbit, Magic: The Gathering’s next expansion and a return to the universe of J.R.R. Tolkien.

After seeing Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey for the first time early last week, I came away impressed, but somewhat conflicted about two of the film's more fantastical set pieces. While those scenes were beautifully crafted and tremendously acted, there was something a little bit off about the way they hit my eye. I spent days […]
Index funds are touted as one of the safest ways to invest. Rather than picking and choosing individual stocks, index funds let you bet on the market as a whole.
