Latest articles on AI, technology, and software development.
Laws in the UK, US, and EU are demanding that websites verify users' ages before showing them certain content. The problem: every practical method of doing this creates a surveillance infrastructure that privacy advocates, security researchers, and civil liberties groups have spent years trying to prevent.
BYD sold more battery electric vehicles than Tesla globally in 2024 and extended that lead in 2025. The company's technology — Blade Battery, e-Platform 3.0, in-house semiconductors — is genuinely competitive. What's keeping it out of American and European driveways isn't product quality. It's tariffs.
The AI code editor market has evolved from a novelty into a daily-driver category. Cursor leads the VC narrative, Windsurf has loyal advocates, and GitHub Copilot is embedded everywhere. Here's how the real landscape looks after two years of competition.
For most of the 2020s, SpaceX ran the global launch market almost unchallenged. In 2025 and 2026, Blue Origin's New Glenn, ULA's Vulcan Centaur, and Rocket Lab's growing fleet have changed the picture — not by beating SpaceX, but by being real alternatives for the first time.
Sending humans to inspect bridges, transmission lines, and wind turbines is expensive, slow, and dangerous. A new generation of autonomous inspection drones is changing how critical infrastructure gets assessed — and the business case is getting hard to argue with.
Unity's 2023 runtime fee disaster reshuffled the game engine market in ways that are still playing out. Godot picked up thousands of migrating developers, Unreal deepened its hold on AAA, and Unity has spent two years rebuilding trust. Here's where things actually stand.
The race for AI leadership has moved beyond private companies. Governments from the UAE to Saudi Arabia to the US are committing sovereign capital at unprecedented scale to control the infrastructure that runs AI — and the data that trains it.
GLP-1 receptor agonists were approved to treat diabetes and then became a blockbuster weight-loss category. Now researchers are finding the drugs appear to reduce addiction, depression, and possibly neurodegeneration — and no one fully understands why.
BGP was built without security in mind. Four decades later, RPKI is the cryptographic fix finally reaching critical mass.
AI's power appetite has grown beyond what wind and solar can reliably deliver at scale. The technology industry's answer is an unlikely one: nuclear energy, both by reviving old plants and betting on small modular reactors still years from completion.
For decades, SQLite was treated as the database you use when you can't use a 'real' database. That mental model is wrong, and the infrastructure built around it in the last few years has made it genuinely competitive for a wide range of production workloads.
After five years of iterating on hinges and glass, foldable smartphones have largely solved their durability problems. The question now is whether the software experience justifies the price premium — and for whom.
