🙏 Image and research source: Thomas Taylor (GitHub)If you want to see what an LLM is really good at (and where it still slips), don’t ask it to write a poem or generate code. Ask it to make the same small decision again and again under clear rules.That is why blackjack basic strategy is such a useful lens.Basic strategy is basically a decision table. Given your hand and the dealer’s upcard, there is a best move for a given rule set. Hit, stand, double, split, surrender. It is not a vibe. It is a lookup problem.So you would expect modern…

The long-rumored deal, reported by Bloomberg News on Monday, should significantly boost ChatGPT’s coding functionality as well as put OpenAI in position to more effectively compete in the fledgling market for AI-powered […]
2025 was the year when AI ambition met operational reality.  Across industries, enterprises entered the year with strong expectations around AI-driven transformation. What followed instead was a period marked by budget pressure, project cancellations, stalled pilots, and a growing demand for clarity.   As we worked with organizations in this environment, certain patterns kept repeating. They were not tied to industry or company size, and they did not depend on specific tools. Instead, they reflected how AI initiatives were positioned, owned, and carried through once initial momentum met operational reality.   Looking ahead to 2026, these patterns feel worth naming, not as prescriptions, but as signals…
Browser hijacker malware alters the way a browser behaves without the user’s consent. Most commonly, it sets a different default search engine, forces unwanted ads, installs unknown extensions, or redirects traffic to unsafe websites. These threats often come in the form of bundled software or malicious downloads, targeting regular users rather than enterprise systems.Python is great for catching and cleaning these in personal environments. It provides direct access to the file system, supports process and network inspection, and facilitates the automation of repetitive checks. With a few targeted scripts, Python can be used to find suspicious browser settings or unwanted…

Builder.ai, which has begun formal bankruptcy proceedings in jurisdictions where it operated, including India, the U.K., and the U.S., […]
Look, if you’re a data or AI nerd, your biggest enemy isn’t the competition. It’s the fact that your brain has way too many tabs open at once.You’re probably sitting there thinking about building some massive ML model or a deep diagnostic tool, and meanwhile, you end up stuck in “builder mode” forever. Nothing actually hits the market this month because you’re too busy making it perfect.Also, let’s be real. Working for yourself is a total trap. Without a boss or a team breathing down your neck, “I’ll finish this by Tuesday” easily turns into “I’ll get to it eventually.”The…
