Dean Iverson and I have been working on an open source project called GroovyFX that provides a Groovy binding that sits on the new JavaFX 2.0 platform. Dean has written a good blog on how to get started with GroovyFX here. It is already a little dated, but if you ignore the JavaFX build numbers and just download the…

Kyra Mozley discusses the evolution of autonomous vehicle perception, moving beyond expensive manual labeling to an embedding-first architecture. She explains how to leverage foundation models like CLIP and SAM for auto-labeling, RAG-inspired search, and few-shot adapters. This talk provides engineering leaders a blueprint for building modular, scalable vision systems that thrive on edge cases.

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.
