In this post, we cover the mechanics, method, and merits of going beyond traditional, black-box methods of testing distributed systems – generative testing (for example, Jepsen), and deterministic hypervisors (for example, Antithesis) – to deeply test safety and liveness invariants using protocol-aware DST. If you prefer, watch a talk in which I cover this and more….
🚀 Dive into the World of Machine Learning System Design! 🌐How do companies like Netflix, Airbnb, and Doordash apply machine learning to improve their products and processes? We put together a database of 800 case studies from 100 companies that share practical ML use cases and learnings from designing ML systems.️
Voice agents mostly mean one vendor's endpoint. You send audio, you get audio back, and everything in between is someone else's infrastructure. Hugging Face's speech-to-speech repo takes the pipeline apart instead. It's a cascade of four stages, each one a model you pick, running wherever you want them.
City2Graph is a Python library that turns buildings, streets, public transport feeds, origin–destination matrices, zones, and points of interest into spatial and heterogeneous graphs. It bridges GeoPandas, NetworkX, and PyTorch Geometric so the same geospatial data can support network analysis, urban research, and Graph Neural Networks (GNNs)…
Build a Holiday Creator Affiliate Program in 90 Days
Creators lock in holiday content calendars 90 days out, before brands figure out commissions. Waiting too long to launch an affiliate program means less runway to build demand and a missed shot at the best partnerships.
The 90-Day Holiday Sprint covers commissions, recruiting, and scaling a program at Day 30, 60, and 90.

AI News:
Well, this could be helpful. Slack is introducing dedicated channels, dubbed Slack Code, where teams can vibe-code together with AI agents instead of jumping between different tools and conversations. The launch includes open, project-specific code channels with dedicated user tabs, alongside features that compare coding changes and preview HTML output before the project is shipped.

Claude Academy teaches the 4D AI Fluency Framework, which asks learners to decide what a model should handle, and Anthropic wrote the rest of the catalogue for the millions who reach its site every month looking for instruction on using AI. One of those mindsets tells learners to verify in proportion to the stakes, and a set of legal use cases puts that to work, teaching Claude workflows and asking lawyers to name the tasks worth keeping.
Micron Technology unveiled Micron Research Labs on Thursday, a Boise-headquartered research institution backed by a planned $10 billion investment over the next decade. The company describes it as the first dedicated memory research hub of its kind in the United States, designed to advance memory technologies, compute architectures, and semiconductor manufacturing for AI applications.
Corporate expense management platform Ramp wants in on the AI interference game. The tech company just launched its own AI model routing service, dubbed Router, that lets users and companies use and switch between various large language models through an API.
Anthropic is preparing to file for its potential mega-IPO as soon as the end of this month. It is expecting to match or beat the size of SpaceX's record-setting debut. Ahead of the IPO, Anthropic is set to finalize a revolving credit facility that will raise more than its roughly $10 billion target. The AI lab is considering adopting super-voting shares that would give its co-founders greater control over the company.

How to Reverse-Engineer Viral Videos with AI
Find a viral video on Instagram, TikTok or YouTube (look for high views, saves, and shares)
Download the video
Upload it to Gemini
Ask Gemini to analyze the video and generate a 30-second script based on the hook, pacing, and structure
Sample Prompt: Analyze this video and break down the hook (first 3 seconds), the structure and pacing, and explain why it works psychologically. Then create a new 30-second script using the same format for this topic: [insert topic]. Make it fast-paced, punchy, and optimized for Instagram/TikTok.
Gemini will generate a script you can use to create your next viral video
