Luca introduces AI engineering for software developers moving into building AI-powered applications. He explains foundation models, prompting, RAG, agents, evaluation, finetuning, and inference in simple, practical terms. The focus is on real production challenges such as cost, reliability, scalability, and maintenance. Using modern tools and examples, Luca shows how engineers can design, deploy, and manage AI systems effectively without needing deep machine learning expertise.

Error tracking has evolved far beyond catching stack traces after something breaks. In modern software teams, the best error tracking tools for developers help identify crashes in real time, group similar issues intelligently, surface rich debugging context, connect failures to code changes, and reduce the time between detection and resolution.
AWS Lambda's networking team spent nearly a decade rebuilding the system that connects serverless functions to private networks. They cut tunnel setup time from 150 milliseconds to 200 microseconds using eBPF, replaced stateful NAT with stateless packet rewriting, and reduced root namespace firewall rules from 125,000 to 144. The result: a single unified network topology supporting 4,000 virtual machines per worker, 20 times more than before, while using less CPU.
Stripe runs about 100,000 Ruby test files that would take four months to complete sequentially. To stay fast, their system tracks which files each test actually opens at runtime, using a lightweight C++ library, then only reruns tests touching changed files. This cuts the average test run to about 5% of the full suite. A compact bitmap index and a simple database make lookups fast and repeatable across roughly 50,000 weekly builds
Like in many companies, engineers at Google have been able to pick their IDE of choice, and this resulted in a lot of fragmentation. In 2011, some of the most senior engineers were asked a question: “Is there a way to get a good uniform IDE for all Googlers?“ The answer was essentially “No”. Among others, Jeff Dean replied:
The browser that reads the room before you ask.
Most browsers get you to the page. Norton Neo gets you to the answer. Magic Box understands your intent before you finish typing — no prompting, no switching apps, no copy-pasting. Built-in AI, instantly and for free. Privacy handled by Norton, by default.

German startup MicroAGI’s Shift app just opened a free home-cleaning service in New York City that records its cleaners through head-mounted cameras, trading chores for first-person data to both sell to AI labs and use in its own AI research. A vetted cleaner shows up wearing a camera that co-founder Bercan Kilic calls a "magic hat," filming the roughly two-hour job point-of-view style.
Apple upended the mid-tier traditional wristwatch market after it showed customers the appeal of buying a device that paired with their iPhones, tracked health metrics, and still told the time. The company now sees a similar opportunity with glasses. It plans to target the broader glasses category with products sold between roughly $200 and $500.
Japanese tech giant commits 75 billion euros to build 5 GW of data center capacity across France by 2031, marking its largest European AI infrastructure bet as the region battles high energy costs to compete with U.S. and China

How to edit videos using Google Flow
You can use Google Flow to edit videos with simple text prompts. You don’t need to be a pro video editor. Just describe what you want changed, and Flow can create a new version for you. Here is how:
Go to Google Flow and sign in with your Google account.
Start a new project or open a video you already made in Flow.
Upload your video or choose the video you want to edit.
Select the Omni model if it is available in your account.
Type Your Video Edit Task (Examples you can type):
“Remove the background and replace it with a modern office.”
“Change the lighting and make the video look brighter.”
Wait for Completion. Since the Omni model is working on video, it may take longer than a normal text task.
Google Flow will show the new video result. You can review it, change your prompt, create another version, or save the best one.
If you are unable to access it, try using a VPN.
