Discover how language model embeddings solve the perennial problem of messy user-entered job titles by mapping free-text entries to standardized occupational categories. This technical deep dive demonstrates a production-ready pipeline using O*NET data and JobBERT-v2 to bring structure to chaos without predefined rules or external APIs.

Using Docker to contain AI coding agents creates dangerous security loopholes by granting root access. A new approach leverages Linux's Landlock to enforce strict filesystem boundaries without compromising host systems—here's how it works and why developers should care.

A pioneering project in Texas is repurposing 500 end-of-life electric vehicle batteries into grid-scale energy storage, showcasing a sustainable solution to battery waste while bolstering renewable energy integration. B2U Storage Solutions' technology deploys unmodified EV batteries in shipping-container-sized units, providing 24 MWh of capacity to absorb excess solar power and prevent blackouts. This initiative signals a booming $4.2B second-life battery market as global EV adoption surges.

Poe has launched an OpenAI-compatible API endpoint, enabling developers to access hundreds of AI models—from giants like GPT-4o and Claude-Sonnet to open-source options—through a single interface. This eliminates the headache of managing multiple provider keys and leverages existing subscription points for seamless text, image, video, and audio generation. For engineers, it’s a game-changer for rapid prototyping, cost comparison, and scaling AI applications without code rewrites.

A deep dive into X11's obscure SECURITY extension reveals a decades-old attempt to solve the display server's notorious keylogging vulnerabilities. While technically functional for basic client isolation, design limitations and lack of ecosystem support doomed it as Wayland emerges as the true successor for secure desktop environments.

Advances in artificial intelligence have made deepfakes alarmingly realistic, enabling criminals and foreign actors to impersonate top officials like Secretary of State Marco Rubio to steal secrets or spread disinformation. This escalating threat targets not just governments but corporate America, with scams draining billions and exploiting job applications. The battle against synthetic deception now hinges on fighting AI with AI, alongside urgent policy and literacy reforms.
