Meta's AI glasses 👓 failed TWICE during live demo at Connect 2025. 🤦🏻♂️ The main mistake here was a confidence in live demo success with no backup plan.
✋🏻But nevertheless I think that hardware behind all this is awesome. Core software worked well so it was more likely connectivity issues. 👍🏻
And one more think. All of it was real.

I'm using #Linux more than 20 years as a main OS and I know it flaws. But now looking at what Windows 11 become I'm starting to believe that Linux really can fix it 🐧

Local API mocking server & 🦀 Rust unit test library with ⛩ Jinja templates and 🌿 Rhai scripting language.
Could be useful for:
- 👨🏻💻 local development to do not run/build other services & call external APIs
- 💻🛠⚙️ integration tests if 3rd party API provider suck/stuck/etc
- 💻🏋🏻♂️ load tests - when deployed alongside your application Apate should respond fast, so no need to take external API delays into account
- to write 🦀 rust unit tests with complete in-out flow

Pin / Unpin in async Rust 101 📌
Here’s the mental model to help understand Pin/Unpin:
Rust async is basically “a function that turns into a state machine.”
And that state machine lives somewhere in memory.
When you .await, the future can pause and resume later - meaning it must remember where it was and what it was holding onto.
Sometimes that “what it was holding onto” includes references into itself.
Why you usually don’t see Pin in day-to-day async Rust?
Because async fn hides it.
When you write:
let fut = my_async_fn();
that fut is an anonymous future type, and Rust/your executor will ensure it’s pinned correctly when it’s polled.
If you use tokio::spawn(fut), Tokio will pin it internally (usually by putting it on the heap).
So you only hit Pin when you:
1. build your own futures
2. store futures in structs/enums
3. want self-referential patterns
4. do low-level async runtime stuff

🛑 WARNING: CVE-2025-20393 is rated 10.0, with no patch available.
Cisco confirmed active exploitation of an AsyncOS zero-day by a China-linked APT.
The flaw allows root-level command execution on affected email security appliances and enables attackers to establish persistence.

So... Postgres is now basically a search engine?
pg_textsearch was just open sourced. It enables BM25 to search your database.... massive upgrade for key word search.
Google uses BM25 in their search engine.
if you're already on Postgres, you can now skip the whole "sync your data to Elasticsearch" stuff for search.

MongoBleed is a vulnerability affecting all MongoDB versions from 2017 to... today.
The exploit is simple. It's a buffer over read bug due to compression. Here's how it works 👇
Clients can send compressed requests to MongoDB.
The client helpfully includes the uncompressed size of the message so the server knows exactly how much memory to allocate when decompressing.
The server allocates a memory buffer with the given space. Due to how memory management and garbage collection in programs work, this allocated memory may already contain sensitive information that was copied earlier and is considered garbage now (eg because it's unreferenced).
The exploit sends a badly-formatted BSON message. The server fails to parse it, and "helpfully" returns an error message containing the invalid message. The invalid message can be that whole 1MB block of foreign data.

Really nice video by Julia Turc explaining why Transformers are taking over CNNs in computer vision
BTW she's the author of Pix2Struct, a document AI model we also integrated in Transformers :)

Why are Transformers replacing CNNs?
Why does a Transformer classify this cat as a cat… while a ResNet calls it a macaw?
In this video we break down one of the biggest shifts in computer vision: why Transformers replaced Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) — even though CNNs were designed…
