1+ hour, 9+ min ago (527+ words) Amazon has announced two developments outlining upgrades to its satellite connectivity programme and a significant expansion of AI infrastructure for US government agencies." The company said it will roll out an enterprise preview of Amazon Leo, its low Earth orbit satellite service. At the same time, it also committed up to $50 billion to build new AI and high-performance computing (HPC) capacity for federal customers from 2026. Amazon confirmed that the newly launched Leo Ultra antenna will offer download speeds of up to 1 Gbps and upload speeds of up to 400 Mbps. At the same time, the AWS investment will add nearly 1.3 GW of compute capacity across AWS Top Secret, AWS Secret and AWS GovCloud (US) Regions." Both initiatives aim to support organisations that need secure, high-speed connectivity and advanced compute resources. AWS CEO Matt Garman said, "We're giving agencies expanded access to…...

1+ hour, 11+ min ago (552+ words) Live Webinar and Q&A: Engineering Reality Check 2026: Using Data to Unblock Innovation (Dec 11, 2025) Save Your Seat Jinsong Yu shares deep architectural insights into the Orion AR glasses, detailing the use of 11 custom microcontrollers for thermal dissipation, the SLAM/VIO needed for world-locked rendering, and input fusion (EMG, eye/hand tracking). He concludes with critical lessons for technical leaders on setting direction, managing complexity through testing, and strategic hardware-software co-design. Micro-frontends differ from components by emphasising autonomy and flow over standardisation and reuse'a sociotechnical shift aligned with Conway's law. Migration should be gradual, starting where autonomy is most beneficial and ensuring that the architecture aligns with the team structure. Duplication can benefit the flow and enable iterative delivery, rather than requiring extensive rewrites. Wes Reisz discusses an experiment to deliver a QCon certification using a Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) architecture and supervised…...

1+ hour, 18+ min ago (294+ words) Amazon.com said on Monday it would invest up to $50 billion to expand AI and supercomputing capabilities for Amazon Web Services U.S. government customers, in one of the largest cloud infrastructure commitments targeted at the public sector. The project, expected to break ground in 2026, will add nearly 1.3 gigawatts of artificial intelligence and high-performance computing capacity across AWS Top Secret, AWS Secret and AWS GovCloud regions by building data centers equipped with advanced compute and networking technologies. AWS cloud regions for U.S. government are based on increasing levels of data sensitivity. The cloud unit currently serves more than 11,000 U.S. government agencies. Tech companies, including OpenAI, Alphabet and Microsoft, are pouring billions of dollars to develop AI infrastructure, boosting demand for computing power required to support the services. One gigawatt of computing power is roughly enough to power about 750,000 U.S. households on average. "This investment removes…...

Reuters mentioned that the company has previously designated OpenAI's Codex as 'Do Not Use' in October after a six-month internal assessment. Furthermore, Claude Code has also received the same status of Do No Use by Amazon.

This feature is expected to significantly change how CDK will be used in the future. As of November 2025, Mixins is in Developer Preview. Please be aware that the specification and behavior may change significantly in the future. Mixins is a mechanism for applying composable abstractions to any Construct, regardless of whether it's an L1 or L2 Construct. It was introduced in CDK v2.229.0, but as of November 2025, it is still in Developer Preview. Not all features are fully available yet, and more functionality and improvements are planned to be added in the future. This article explains the overview and usage of Mixins in a more accessible way, based on the content from the Mixins README and RFC. Mixins…...

1+ hour, 32+ min ago (586+ words) This is another installment in my Experience Series, where I share detailed reviews of the tools and software I use daily. Previously, I've covered topics like the Zed code editor and Brave browser in video format, but I thought it was time to bring this experience to written form as well. Today, I want to discuss a tool that many of my viewers have asked about but few truly understand'Mini Micro. Despite being relatively unknown in mainstream game development circles, it's a tool that has significantly shaped my approach to game development. Before we begin, I want to clarify that this represents my personal experience. Your mileage may vary depending on your background, preferences, and use cases. My approach to tools has always leaned toward simplicity and minimalism. When I began my game development journey, I was looking for an…...

1+ hour, 43+ min ago (358+ words) Cyber incidents now outpace natural disasters, forcing IT leaders to rethink recovery as a daily operating capability. For decades, business continuity planning meant preparing for anomalous events like hurricanes, floods, tornadoes, or regional power outages. In anticipation of these rare disasters, IT teams built playbooks, ran annual tests, crossed their fingers, and hoped they'd never have to use them. In recent years, an even more persistent threat has emerged. Cyber incidents, particularly ransomware, are now more common'and often, more damaging'than physical disasters. In a recent survey of more than 500 CISOs, almost three-quarters (72%) said their organization had dealt with ransomware in the previous year. Earlier in 2025, ransomware attack rates on enterprises reached record highs. Mark Vaughn, senior director of the virtualization practice at Presidio, has witnessed the trend firsthand. "When I speak at conferences, I'll ask the room, "How many people…...

1+ hour, 44+ min ago (981+ words) I have been fooling around a lot with ai recently, and I thought I would write something about what I've been doing. There are a few things that I've been doing, and they're all fascinating. This is part one of a small series that I have created to walk through the process I went through to get decent code. I had a crazy idea. I thought to myself, let's write something that will go through my git repos and automagially update my dockerfiles so that the dockerfile uses a fixed but more recent version of the base image. Most Dockerfiles have a fixed base image line that looks something like this: This is painful to trawl through and update. Not least because I don't actually know what the latest version is, and I'm not particularly keen on just using the…...
