FLOW

Flow is FoundationDB's custom language extension for C++. It adds efficient actor-based concurrency using asynchronous primitives like Future, Promise, wait(), and ACTOR, while compiling down to native C++ for high performance and deterministic simulation. Flow lets developers write distributed asynchronous systems in a much simpler style than callback-heavy C++, with additional constructs like streams (FutureStream/PromiseStream) and choose/when for coordinating concurrent events.

THE SHORT LEASH AI CODING METHOD FOR BEATING FABLE

Expert developers should keep AI coding agents on a “short leash” by reviewing every proposed change, intervening frequently, committing often, and never letting the AI work unsupervised. It also recommends using AI as a code reviewer alongside human review.

MORE DETAILS ON FABLE 5'S CYBER SAFEGUARDS AND OUR JAILBREAK FRAMEWORK

Fable 5 is being redeployed with stricter cybersecurity classifiers that block prohibited and high-risk dual-use cyber requests while allowing clearly defensive uses. Anthropic uses a Cyber Jailbreak Severity scale to rate jailbreaks by capability gain, breadth, weaponization, and discoverability.

HOW EXPENSIFY USES AGENT-DEVICE FOR MOBILE BUG EVIDENCE AND PROFILING

Expensify uses agent-device, a tool that gives AI agents “hands and eyes” on real devices by hiding platform fragmentation behind one API and returning the screen as a structured accessibility tree rather than a screenshot (richer and cheaper in tokens). They apply it to three repeated chores: an agent-device-evidence skill that reproduces a bug, distills the steps into a replayable script, and captures before/after recordings for PRs; automated Sentry span measurement across multiple runs; and one-prompt React profiling that returns component-specific render data.

CARPLAY IS ADDITIVE

Rivian should support Apple CarPlay as an optional feature because it gives drivers access to thousands of familiar apps without replacing Rivian's native interface.
