The more things change, the more they stay the same.

A former xAI engineer is suing the company and SpaceX, alleging he was fired for raising AI safety concerns about Grok days before SpaceX's historic IPO.

The delayed Fable reboot is coming to Xbox Series X/S, PS5 and PC on February 23.

The most AI-obsessed firms are spending roughly $7,500 monthly per employee on AI, per Ramp AI Index. That's not more than an engineer's salary — yet.

Anthropic released Claude Fable, its first Mythos-class AI model, yesterday and it's already causing concerns inside Microsoft. Sources tell me that Microsoft is limiting the use of Claude Fable 5 for employees because of Anthropic's new data retention requirements. While Microsoft quickly rolled out Claude Fable 5 to its GitHub Copilot and Foundry customers, I'm […]

Problems with Starlink's India expansion could challenge SpaceX's IPO growth story.

When building a personal finance tracker, data integrity and system reliability are non-negotiable. One missing try/catch block can crash your whole server, and weak types can let invalid financial payloads corrupt your database. While building the backend for my personal finance tracker, I decided to move past generic tutorials and build a bulletproof, production-grade API core using Express, TypeScript, and Zod. In this post, I’ll show you how I implemented a type-safe middleware ecosystem, leveraged TypeScript declaration merging to extend the native Request object, and eliminated repetitive try/catch boilerplate across the entire codebase. 1. The Weapon Against Boilerplate: The asyncHandler HOC Writing try/catch blocks in every single controller handler clutters code and introduces human error—it’s easy to forget to pass an error to next() . To solve this, I engineered a Higher-Order Function (HOC) factory that wraps asynchronous request handlers and automatically catches rejected promises, safely routing them into the global error handler. import { Request , Response , NextFunction , RequestHandler } from ' express ' ; export const asyncHandler = ( fn : RequestHandler ): RequestHandler => { return ( req : Request , res : Response , next : NextFunction ) => { Promise . resolve ( fn ( req , res , next )). catch ( next ); }; }; Why this matters: Reliability: Async errors always reach the centralized error middleware. Readability: Route controllers stay beautifully clean, focusing only on business logic rather than async control flow wiring. 2. TypeScript Magic: Declaration Merging & Type Augmentation When dealing with authentication tokens, request tracing ( requestId ), or custom validated payloads, developers frequently resort to casting the request as any (e.g., (req as any).userId ). This completely destroys Type Safety. Instead of fighting the compiler, I leveraged TypeScript Declaration Merging to reopen Express's internal Request interface and merge my cust

Serverless functions have a time limit. Vercel gives you 60 seconds on Pro. None of that is enough to send a welcome email sequence, process an uploaded CSV, or run any workflow with multiple external API calls. Inngest solves this by turning your Next.js API routes into reliable, retryable, observable background jobs — without Redis, without a worker process, without any separate queue infrastructure. Read the full guide with all code examples at stacknotice.com How It Works You define functions that run in response to events . When an event fires, Inngest calls your function via HTTP. If the function fails, Inngest retries it. If the function has multiple steps, Inngest checkpoints each step so a failure halfway through doesn't restart from scratch. Setup npm install inngest // lib/inngest/client.ts import { Inngest } from ' inngest ' export const inngest = new Inngest ({ id : ' my-app ' }) // app/api/inngest/route.ts import { serve } from ' inngest/next ' import { inngest } from ' @/lib/inngest/client ' import { welcomeSequence } from ' @/lib/inngest/functions/welcome ' export const { GET , POST , PUT } = serve ({ client : inngest , functions : [ welcomeSequence ], }) Welcome Email Sequence export const welcomeSequence = inngest . createFunction ( { id : ' welcome-email-sequence ' , retries : 3 }, { event : ' user/signed-up ' }, async ({ event , step }) => { const { userId , email , name } = event . data // Each step is independently retried await step . run ( ' send-welcome-email ' , async () => { await resend . emails . send ({ from : ' hello@yourapp.com ' , to : email , subject : `Welcome, ${ name } !` , html : `<p>Thanks for signing up...</p>` , }) }) await step . sleep ( ' wait-2-days ' , ' 2 days ' ) await step . run ( ' send-tips-email ' , async () => { await resend . emails . send ({ from : ' hello@yourapp.com ' , to : email , subject : ' Top 5 tips to get the most out of the app ' , html : `<p>Here are the tips...</p>` , }) }) await step . sleep ( ' wait

Most of the value in SpaceX's IPO is effectively a call option on the company's ambitious space data center plans.

ServiceNow is used by thousands of enterprises to automate their internal processes, but says several customers had data accessed because of a security bug.

A cybercrime group known as The Gentlemen has emerged as the second most active ransomware gang by victim count, rapidly attracting a talented pool of hackers through an aggressive recruitment strategy that promises affiliates 90 percent of any ransom paid by victims. This post examines clues pointing to a real life identity for the administrator of The Gentlemen ransomware group.

The funding round was led by Norwest, with participation S Capital VC, Cerca Partners, and Oceans Ventures. Snowflake Ventures also participated as a strategic investor.

Decart is launching Oasis 3, a real-time world model that generates photorealistic driving environments for autonomous vehicle testing, now available via API for developers to build on.

Redis is fast. But self-hosting Redis on a serverless stack is a nightmare — cold starts, connection pool exhaustion, and managing a persistent server that your serverless functions keep hammering. Upstash solves this with an HTTP-based Redis API that scales to zero, charges per request, and works natively with Next.js App Router. This guide covers the patterns that actually matter in production: cache-aside with proper TTLs, SWR (stale-while-revalidate), session storage, and pub/sub. Real code, real trade-offs. Read the full article with all code examples at stacknotice.com Why Upstash Over a Traditional Redis Instance Standard Redis uses persistent TCP connections. Serverless functions don't maintain persistent connections — every invocation potentially opens a new one. At scale, you hit ECONNREFUSED or max connection errors that are annoying to debug and expensive to fix. Upstash's @upstash/redis client talks over HTTP/REST. No connection pool, no connection limit headaches. Each request is stateless. This is exactly what Next.js Server Components and Route Handlers need. Other advantages: Pay per request — a cache that never gets hit costs $0 Global replication — low latency from any Vercel edge region Native Edge Runtime support — works in Next.js middleware Free tier — 10,000 commands/day, no credit card needed Setup npm install @upstash/redis // lib/redis.ts import { Redis } from ' @upstash/redis ' export const redis = new Redis ({ url : process . env . UPSTASH_REDIS_REST_URL ! , token : process . env . UPSTASH_REDIS_REST_TOKEN ! , }) Pattern 1: Cache-Aside // lib/cache.ts import { redis } from ' ./redis ' export async function withCache < T > ( key : string , fetcher : () => Promise < T > , options : { ttl ?: number ; prefix ?: string } = {} ): Promise < T > { const { ttl = 300 , prefix = ' cache ' } = options const cacheKey = ` ${ prefix } : ${ key } ` const cached = await redis . get < T > ( cacheKey ) if ( cached !== null ) return cached const data = awai

I recently built GeoPrizm , a free and open-source dashboard for tracking bilateral relations through global news event signals. The idea is simple: instead of reading dozens of headlines every day and trying to guess whether a relationship is improving or worsening, can we turn public news event data into a readable trend signal? GeoPrizm is my attempt at that. Website: https://www.geoprizm.com/en GitHub: https://github.com/Haullk/relationship-temperature The problem International relations are usually discussed through headlines, speeches, official statements, and expert commentary. That is valuable, but it creates a few practical problems: It is hard to compare country pairs on the same scale. A single headline can feel more important than it really is. Readers often see conclusions before they see the underlying signals. Most non-specialists do not have time to follow every event in detail. I wanted a lightweight way to answer one question: Based on public news event signals, is this bilateral relationship trending more cooperative, neutral, or tense? Data source: GDELT GeoPrizm uses the GDELT global news event database. GDELT monitors global news coverage and converts news reports into structured event records. These records include fields such as: actor countries event date CAMEO event category GoldsteinScale value number of mentions number of articles source information For GeoPrizm, the key idea is to focus on events where two countries appear as actors, then aggregate the cooperation or conflict signals over time. From event signals to an index Each bilateral pair is converted into a 0-100 relationship index. The midpoint is 50. Above 50 means the recent signal is more cooperative or favorable. Around 50 means the signal is relatively neutral or mixed. Below 50 means the recent signal is more tense or conflict-heavy. The rough process is: Select recent GDELT events for a country pair. Keep events where both actors are present and the GoldsteinScale value is
