David Blank-Edelman (Microsoft SRE Academy) explains 7 essential questions to elevate your reliability practice. He challenges engineering leaders to redefine reliability metrics beyond availability, replace "root cause" with contributing factors, critique the 5 whys, re-evaluate the true goals of toil automation, and understand SRE's role (firefighting vs. partnership).

Pico-Banana-400K is a curated dataset of 400,000 images developed by Apple researchers to make it easier to create text-guided image editing models. The images were generated using Google's Nano-Banana to modify real photographs from the Open Images collecion and were then filtered using Gemini-2.5-Pro based on their overall quality and prompt compliance.
