As organizations embrace artificial intelligence (AI) workloads alongside traditional cloud systems, site reliability engineering (SRE) must evolve to manage an entirely new class of infrastructure — intelligent, hybrid and graphics processing unit (GPU)-driven. Infrastructure has transformed dramatically over the past two decades. We began with physical servers in local data centers, then virtualization improved efficiency […]

Opsera today added an artificial intelligence (AI) reasoning agent to its platform that is specifically trained to surface in real time how DevOps teams are deriving value from investments in AI coding tools. At the same time, Opsera is adding to its namesake platform for managing and automating DevOps workflows an ability to integrate with […]
At swampUP 2025, Alan sits down with Aman Sardana and Vijay Kumar Soni to talk through one of the defining challenges of modern software delivery—how DevOps practices must evolve to accommodate the growing influence of artificial intelligence across the software development lifecycle. They explore the intersection of automation, security and scalability as organizations rethink their […]
I’m just hearing about the closedby=”any” attribute/value for <dialog>. HTML popovers have this “light dismiss” behavior where you can “click outside” to close them, but not dialogs (until this). I forked a previous demo to try it and it works great (in Chrome & Firefox, just waiting for Safari). I’ve been using a custom <ClickOutsideDetector /> element for ages, so this is a welcome feature.

TL;DR: A City Wall is the level-3 city upgrade that massively boosts the defense of any unit with the Fortify skill standing inside that city. You’ll see a double-shield icon on the unit’s HP when the wall is active. It doesn’t make cities uncapturable; it just makes the defender much harder to kill.How it works (latest version) Unchanged in the 2025 Balance Pass (Sept 1, 2025). No wall-specific tweaks were listed in the official patch notes.Unlock/Cost: When a city reaches level 3, you choose City Wall or +5 Stars. The wall choice is free, but you give up the 5-star…

100% Transparency and Five Pillars How to Do Hardened Images (and Container Security) Right Container security is understandably a hot topic these days, with more and more workloads running atop this mainstay of the cloud native landscape. While I might be biased because I work at Docker, it is safe to say that containers are the dominant form factor for…
Tesla’s Q3 update moved Optimus from R&D buzz to early manufacturing reality: first-generation Optimus production lines are being installed in anticipation of volume production. That’s Tesla’s clearest signal yet that humanoids are headed for the factory floor rather than just flashy demos.Key takeaways: Manufacturing is starting to take shape. Tesla’s update deck explicitly says lines are being installed now, a precursor to volume production.Near-term reveal, then iteration. Elon Musk said Optimus V3 is slated for a Q1 2026 unveil, with a production-intent prototype targeted to show in that window. He also emphasized rolling hardware changes even after start of production,…
Humanoid robots are on the cusp of bringing real-world abundance.We’re past the sci-fi phase. Automakers and logistics giants are already piloting humanoids on factory floors and in delivery/logistics flows. Mercedes-Benz is trialing Apptronik’s Apollo on production tasks; Figure raised heavyweight funding, partnered with OpenAI, and has been piloting at BMW; Amazon has publicly explored humanoids alongside its warehouse robotics; and Nvidia just launched Jetson Thor, a compute platform purpose-built to run “physical AI.” Image Source: https://apptronik.com/news-collection/apptronik-and-mercedes-benz-enter-commercial-agreement?utm_source=chatgpt.comTogether, that’s capital, customers, and compute lining up — the usual ingredients before scale.Content already hit abundance — and it changed the value of each…
