Imandra today launched an artificial intelligence (AI) agent, dubbed CodeLogician, that uses symbolic models to transform source code into mathematical models that can then be validated and tested in a way that is more accurate than relying on a large language model (LLM).Using neurosymbolic models, those mathematical representations can then be analyzed using an automated reasoning engine that is invoked via a cloud service, using the open-source Langraph framework for orchestrating the management of AI agents. Initially, CodeLogican can be applied to Python code, with support for Java, COBOL and other programming languages planned.Dr. Grant Passmore, co-CEO of Imandra, said…

Chrome 135 (in Beta as I write, probably stable early April?) will have customizable select elements in it. You opt-in to it in CSS, and once you have, you can go ham on styling regular ol’ , , ‘n’ friends elements. Very progressive-enhancement friendly as a select without custom styling is… fine. It’s interesting and notable that even when it does ship Chrome is prepared to protect the web: Chrome has the features behind a Finch experiment in case there is an emergency need to turn it off. If things go well, the experiment will end and the code will…

We recently published an article on CHOOSE at SQL Server Central. I thought it was a good intro, but as someone noted in the comments, how do you use CHOOSE? Do you have to hard code choices? This post shows you don’t. Another post for me that is simple and hopefully serves as an example for people trying to get blogging as #SQLNewBloggers. A Scenario I have a table that contains some data. In this case, about beer. I like beer, and this was a fun little demo. I’m not recreating the DDL because, well, you might like different beers.…

From Stale Repositories to Living Ecosystems An Evolving Yet Fundamental Concept Data catalogs have been around for years, and despite rapid technological change since 2012, one thing remains the same: at heart, a data catalog is a single source of truth for your enterprise’s data. It describes what you have, why it matters, and how it’s used. While the fundamental concept hasn’t changed, the way we govern and update catalogs has evolved dramatically. Why Static Catalogs Fall Short When a data catalog becomes just another repository—like an abandoned museum exhibit—it loses its relevance. In a fast-paced environment where technology stacks change…
