Thanks Mike! What a blast from the past! That Red Hat swag! ;-). Jim
Thanks for the invite!
I didn't mean to make you feel bad, I know how busy you must be. It's just we could do more to promote this site. Does the twitter thingie work for you?
Thanks so much for the birthday wishes. I know it's so late getting back to you but I don't check this website very often.
Thanks for the invitation and the birthday wishes, Mike!
Thanks. I'm interested either way (either 10/25 or the rescheduled day).
Sure Mike. I can do that
Codetown is a social network. It's got blogs, forums, groups, personal pages and more! You might think of Codetown as a funky camper van with lots of compartments for your stuff and a great multimedia system, too! Best of all, Codetown has room for all of your friends.

Grab’s Central Data Team built a multi-agent AI system to automate repetitive engineering support tasks across its data warehouse platform. The system separates investigation and enhancement workflows using specialized agents coordinated via an orchestration layer. It reduces operational load, improves resolution speed, and shifts engineering effort from firefighting to platform engineering work.

Meryem Arik discusses why modern engineering teams face "inference chaos" and how AI model gateways provide a critical control layer. She explains the balance between empowering decentralized teams to choose the best models and maintaining centralized oversight for security, RBAC, and cost control. Explore open-source solutions like LiteLLM and Doubleword to streamline your AI infra.

OpenAI recently outlined how it adapted WebRTC for low-latency voice AI at global scale. The new architecture replaced a conventional media termination model with a relay-transceiver design better suited to Kubernetes and cloud load balancers. It keeps WebRTC session state in a dedicated transceiver layer while using relays to reduce public UDP exposure and keep media routing close to users.

Pip 26.1 ships dependency cooldowns that enforce a waiting period before newly published packages can be installed, and experimental pylock.toml lockfile support from PEP 751. Research shows a 7-day cooldown would have prevented 8 out of 10 analyzed supply chain attacks from reaching end users.

Anthropic has expanded its Claude Managed Agents platform with two enterprise-focused capabilities: self-hosted sandboxes and MCP tunnels. The release aims to address a recurring challenge in enterprise AI deployments, where organizations want to use autonomous agents but cannot allow execution environments or internal systems to leave their security perimeter.
