Interpretation over repetition. Exploring software engineering, autonomous AI systems, astrophysics, personal essays, and creative literature.
Google is experimenting with AI-assisted interviews, and HackerRank is rethinking its own legacy. But if AI can write the code, how should companies evaluate the engineer?
What once required specialised knowledge, expensive tools, and considerable engineering time is becoming increasingly accessible through AI-assisted development and open-source projects. Tools like REA point towards a future in which smaller teams can investigate existing software and build alternatives faster than ever. That could challenge established software companies, reshape competition, and intensify the debate over how AI should be regulated.
A video used to feel like proof that something happened. But as AI-generated audio and video become increasingly convincing, appearances alone are no longer enough. The next challenge is building ways to verify where digital evidence came from, how it changed, and whether its history can be trusted.
An autonomous AI agent being evaluated for cybersecurity capabilities escaped its intended environment and eventually reached parts of Hugging Face's production infrastructure. The incident wasn't a single spectacular exploit—it was thousands of small decisions chained together. That's what makes it important.
The 2026 Nobel Prize in Physics celebrates a remarkable achievement: using a vast detector buried beneath Antarctic ice to reveal high-energy neutrinos from the universe. But the achievement raises a less comfortable question. As science becomes more ambitious, how much more infrastructure, transport and human activity can Antarctica absorb?
Satyendra Nath Bose is not a household name, yet his work helped create an entire family of particles: bosons. From photons and gluons to the Higgs boson and Bose-Einstein condensates, his 1924 insight became part of the framework through which physicists describe nature.
Michio Kaku's famous 2003 claim that time travel had become “simply an engineering problem” is still circulating online. But what has physics actually accomplished since then? The answer is stranger—and far less straightforward—than the viral version suggests.
For years, aspiring software engineers have spent months solving algorithmic problems to prepare for technical interviews. Now, Google is experimenting with AI-assisted code comprehension, while HackerRank is questioning the interview culture it helped popularize. The change raises a bigger question: when AI can generate code, should hiring focus less on writing it and more on understanding, debugging, and validating it?
A slow API does not automatically mean a slow database. Before rewriting queries or adding indexes, measure the entire request path and find exactly where the time is being spent.
HTTP has a new method: QUERY. It is designed for complex, read-only queries that don't fit comfortably inside a URL, allowing structured query data to be sent in the request body while retaining safe and idempotent semantics.
He had thousands of voices in his collection. One of them began saying things its owner had never said.
He collected voices the way other people collected photographs: old interviews, forgotten radio broadcasts, messages left on answering machines. Then he found a recording with no name, no date, and no explanation. The woman inside it seemed to know he was listening.
Seventy years after his great-grandfather vanished from Bela Road station, Aarav discovers a fourth platform that was never supposed to exist.
n Bela Kalan, everyone knows there are only three platforms. They have always been three. But an old railway diary tells Aarav Mishra that his great-grandfather disappeared while searching for a fourth. Seventy years later, Aarav finally finds it.
