AI data centre would be 'one of Scotland's top polluters' if plans greenlit

A planned 300MW AI data centre in Larbert, equipped with 200 diesel generators, could become one of Scotland's top ten polluters due to routine backup power tests releasing 288 tonnes of nitrogen oxides annually. Nearby hospitals, schools, and care homes may face nitrogen dioxide levels up to 44 times the healthy limit, sparking health concerns and over 1,000 objections.

Preparing Specs for AI Coding Agents

As AI coding agents now edit repositories, run commands, and produce branches, writing a specification before work becomes critical. This article outlines what makes a good spec: context, behavior change, constraints, examples, and validation evidence. Specs serve as an assignment layer that separates human intent from machine execution, improving team collaboration and code review. Unlike private prompts, specs provide durable memory and make changes inspectable.

How Stagwell Built Privacy-Safe ID Matching on Databricks

Stagwell developed a privacy-safe identity matching solution using Databricks Clean Rooms and Marketplace Apps. Brands can install the app in their own environment, run identity matching against Stagwell's Identity Spine without exposing raw data, and activate audiences through its Agentic Targeting System. The approach reduces deployment from months to minutes and ensures compliance.

Kubernetes in the Age of AI

Kubernetes has evolved from a container orchestrator to a de facto AI platform, with 82% of container users using it in production in 2025. Generative AI and agentic AI workloads are increasingly run on Kubernetes, as highlighted by the CNCF survey and industry examples. Networking remains a fundamental skill gap, addressed by a new CNCF certification.

We Got Anthropic's Glasswing at Home (Who Needs Mythos 5 or Fable 5?)

Inspired by Anthropic's Glasswing, the author built Lucent, a staged source-code bug-hunter that runs on a local 27B Qwen model on a single RTX 3090. First run against hermes-agent: 1,342 static hits narrowed to 126 leads, then to 15, and finally 2 real bugs. Local read cost ~$1.62. The best moment: a reviewer agent caught that three earlier exploits were scored against an outdated threat model. Detailed pipeline, hardware, and lessons included.

Sound Waves Give Neuromorphic Chips a Brain-Simulating Edge

By mimicking how the brain operates, neuromorphic computing can use dramatically less energy than conventional electronic AI chips. However, even the most sophisticated neuromorphic devices today are still quite simple, using only a small fraction of the number of connections found in human neurons. Now a new study suggests that using sound waves, neuromorphic devices can better mimic biological neurons and operate faster and with greater energy efficiency than their electronic counterparts.
