The article argues against the notion that AI agents eliminate the need for upfront specifications, showing that minimal specification defers costs to downstream correction loops. It advocates for a sweet spot with well-structured acceptance criteria or BDD specs, and suggests using agents to draft and validate specs. Multi-agent pipelines require strong typed contracts, and agile/XP practices remain relevant, especially test-first thinking and tight feedback loops.

From repainted walls to imaginary lawns, estate agents say modified photos help buyers ‘visualise the potential of a property’. But how much AI enhancement is too much? Agents, viewers and trading standards experts tell all.

A developer building a privacy-first note-taking app benchmarks 11 AI models (on-device and cloud) for analyzing voice transcripts. He finds that flagship models like Apple Intelligence can be overly restrictive, while open-weight models offer flexibility. Kimi K2.6 ranks highest overall, but privacy remains a challenge, leading to a multi-layered approach including anonymization and encryption.

Most enterprise analytics evaluations are really just dashboard comparisons. That's the wrong starting point. The question that matters isn't which vendor has the best UI — it's whether analytics, AI and agents all run on the same data. This article provides a framework to evaluate platforms beyond the demo, with seven weighted criteria and a scorecard.

Drew DeVault recently created "Vim Classic", a fork of the classic text editor Vim that aims to be an AI-free, human-maintained version. In this interview, he explains the practical, philosophical, ethical, and political reasons behind his decision, including concerns about AI's environmental damage, copyright issues, deskilling, and its role in oppression and injustice.

ZML, a French AI startup endorsed by Turing Award winner Yann LeCun, has released free inference software enabling various open-source LLMs to run on multiple chips including Nvidia, AMD, Google TPU, Apple Metal, and Intel Arc.

An exploration of using AI to test the ease of use of software, specifically Java memory management with Chronicle-FIX, highlighting the value of AI for learning.

The article argues that AI is not merely a tool but an evolutionary descendant of humanity, undergoing speciation through training on human data, with its own heredity, variation, and selection. It uses a migration-drift model to describe the split.

Mobilerun VA is a hosted 24/7 agent for mobile automation. It plugs AI models like Claude, Hermes, OpenClaw into a real mobile device to automate any app and receive SMS.
