Satya Nadella says "we welcome" the "deliberate pacing needed to get alignment right", and announces a "Code of Conduct" for Microsoft's MAI models (Satya Nadella/@satyanadella)

Any pursuit of superintelligence has to be grounded in the core principle that if the AI we build is not helping humanity and under human control, it's not worth pursuing.

At the edge, the number that matters is memory - not throughput (specially in Ramageddon)

We rebuilt LF Edge eKuiper in Rust and ran it against eKuiper, Telegraf and Redpanda Connect on five real MQTT workloads — one core, 1 GB of memory, and output checked message-by-message.

• Memory usage, not throughput, is key metric in resource-constrained environments
• Rekuiper, Rust-based engine, maintained memory usage between 5 and 10 MB
• Design choices include bounded queues, incremental window aggregation, offline sink cache

API Rate Limiting: What Actually Breaks When You Get It Wrong

Most teams add rate limiting to their API as an afterthought — usually right after something has already gone wrong. A scraper hammers an endpoint, a client integration goes into a retry loop, or a…
