For those of you interested in going to Java One, now known as Code One, the call for papers has been extended a week.
This year, Code One will have much more than just Java. You'll find Python and Go, R and much more.
Take a look at the agenda and think about going. And, for an even more exciting time, think about submitting a proposal…

Every Java developer, in fact every software developer should have the opportunity to attend a technical conference every year or so. Increasingly, software conferences like Java One (now Code One) are becoming more broad and including multiple technologies. Ian Darwin is now publishing a great calendar of Java-related conferences. Here's the link: …

In this series, we examine what happens after the proof of concept and how AI becomes part of the software delivery pipeline. As AI transitions from proof of concept to production, teams are discovering that the challenge extends beyond model performance to include architecture, process, and accountability. This transition is redefining what constitutes good software engineering.

To prevent agents from obeying malicious instructions hidden in external data, all text entering an agent's context must be treated as untrusted, says Niv Rabin, principal software architect at AI-security firm CyberArk. His team developed an approach based on instruction detection and history-aware validation to protect against both malicious input data and context-history poisoning.

Meta has revealed how it scales its Privacy-Aware Infrastructure (PAI) to support generative AI development while enforcing privacy across complex data flows. Using large-scale lineage tracking, PrivacyLib instrumentation, and runtime policy controls, the system enables consistent privacy enforcement for AI workloads like Meta AI glasses without introducing manual bottlenecks.

Researchers at MIT's CSAIL published a design for Recursive Language Models (RLM), a technique for improving LLM performance on long-context tasks. RLMs use a programming environment to recursively decompose and process inputs, and can handle prompts up to 100x longer than base LLMs.
