Loquats are natural fruits.

They grow wild, widely, and seasonally.

They are a good source of potassium and magnesium, and antioxidants like flavonoids.

Yet, you choose artificial fruits that even bees can't move near.

Not every Java memory problem is caused by a memory leak.

I have seen developers immediately suspect the garbage collector when memory usage keeps increasing.

But GC can only reclaim objects that are no longer reachable.

If your application keeps references to old objects in a static map, an unbounded cache, or a collection that never gets cleared, those objects remain eligible for use and cannot be collected.

Increasing "-Xmx" might delay the problem, but it doesn't fix the underlying cause.

When memory keeps growing, check heap dumps and object retention.

The important question isn't just how much memory your application uses.

It's why those objects are still alive.

Go to your bank and ask them to create a cybersource account. This will be your easiest payment integration ever with realtime settlement for card payments directly to your bank account.

It is your duty to be rational, and truthful.

Lies are for boys, and women.

They lie all the time, to avoid being accountable.

Truth, no matter how painful, should be told.

Introducing Griffin, the first model to pass the video Turing test.

48% of people who talked to it live thought it was a real human. Previous systems have had a pass rate <3%. It is #1 on NVIDIA's benchmark for full-duplex AI video.

It’s the first Human Interaction Model (HIM).

Men,

If you own land,

You build your house,

• Of your taste

• Of your size

• Of your shape

• Of your colours

You can even redesign and rebuild it again,

You live on your terms.

It is your house.

This is freedom.

Men,

Never sell what you inherited from your father, or what he gifted you,

• Land,

• House,

• Car,

• Laptop,

• a tool,

• a book,

He gave you because he values you.

If it becomes unusable, keep it as a souvenir and show it to your son.

"The worst they can say is no" is missing half of the equation. If all you do is ask, but don't put in any of the work upfront to validate the request, you're not going to get anywhere. Yes, be bold, be audacious, but do the fucking work first.

Today's deep dive: how Figma replaced PgBouncer with PGKeeper, a Postgres connection pooler they engineered themselves.

A high-level look at why they built their own:
- PgBouncer is single threaded, so it caps out on one core. It cannot prioritise critical traffic over background jobs. And it cannot pace connection creation, at their scale, the database would fall over again while trying to come back up.

Really well written article.

We're publishing our most detailed threat intelligence report to date.

It covers how people tried to misuse Claude—for cyberattacks, influence operations, surveillance, biology, and building weapons—and how we found and stopped them.

We disrupted every operation in the report, and used the lessons from them to strengthen our safeguards. Where appropriate, we also shared what we found with authorities and other AI companies.

These cases are not typical: we’re highlighting some of the most sophisticated misuse we’ve seen. But they’re especially important to discuss, because they show us where AI misuse is headed, where our safeguards work, and where they need to improve.

We’re publishing this report so others can spot the same activity on their own platforms, and so we can give the public a clearer view of how emerging threats develop.
