Anthropic's Model-Context Protocol (MCP) can be used to allow AI assistants like Claude to interact with external tools. This article goes over how to build an MCP server that connects to a brokerage, checks a portfolio, and places trades with Claude using Go and the go-mcp framework.
People often choose obscure or outdated technologies for emotional reasons, like feeling connected to a certain tradition or aligning with specific aesthetics. They then create rationalizations for these choices, downplaying the downsides of their preferred tech and exaggerating the drawbacks of popular alternatives. However, it's perfectly fine to use tools that bring you joy without any need for justification.
It's common advice to avoid reinventing the wheel. However, recreating existing tools and technologies is a valuable learning experience. By building your own versions, you gain insights into trade-offs, limitations, and potential improvements of existing solutions.
Good writing is both aesthetically pleasing and conceptually accurate, and these qualities are surprisingly interconnected. Polishing the sound of writing often clarifies and refines the ideas themselves, similar to how shaking a bin helps objects pack together efficiently. This is because making writing sound good forces the writer to confront and resolve inconsistencies or awkwardness in their thinking.

Amazon software devs are being pushed to use AI, leading to a faster pace and higher output goals. Some engineers feel like they are "bystanders" in their own jobs, as the focus has shifted from writing code to reviewing AI-generated code, which reduces the time for reflection and collaboration. While companies like Amazon argue AI can relieve tedious tasks, some workers worry about the impact on career advancement and the degradation of work quality.

OpenAI plans to ship 100 million AI 'companions' that will be capable of being fully aware of users' surroundings and lives. The company aims to create a third core device for people to use on a desk after a computer and mobile device. The device will be unobtrusive and be able to rest in one's pocket or desk. It won't be a phone - one of the design goals is to help wean users from screens.
Anthropic has launched Claude 4, a new group of artificial intelligence models. The company claims that Claude Opus 4 and Claude Sonnet 4 define a new standard when it comes to AI agents. The models can analyze thousands of data sources, execute long-running tasks, write human-quality content, and perform complex actions. Both models can search the web to complete tasks and alternate between reasoning and tool use.
High NA, which stands for high numerical aperture, is the world's most advanced and expensive chipmaking machine. Costing more than $400 million, the machine took ASML nearly a decade to develop. It is made up of four modules that are manufactured around the world and assembled in the Netherlands. Only five of the colossal machines have ever been shipped. This article takes a look at High NA, how ASML plans to deploy the technology, the benefits that High NA provides, how the technology works, the effects that China, tariffs, and US growth will have on the technology, and more. A link to a video showing High NA in action is available at the end of the article.
The Tor Alva, the world's tallest 3D-printed building, has been completed in Switzerland. The structure, which the creators liken to an 'ornate layered cake', sits at an impressive height of 30 meters. It is located in a village that's currently home to just 11 people. The building took around 900 hours of printing to complete using two construction robots: a 3D printer and a machine used to add steel reinforcement. Pictures of Tor Alva are available in the article.

Anthropic has announced four new capabilities on its API that enable developers to build more powerful AI agents. The code execution tool, MCP connector, Files API, and ability to cache prompts for up to an hour will enable developers to build agents that execute code for advanced data analysis, connect to external systems through MCP servers, store and access files efficiently across sessions, and maintain context for up to 60 minutes without building custom infrastructure. All of the features are now available in public beta on the Anthropic API.
Stripe did an average of 1,145 pull requests per day in 2024 while having less than a minute of API unreliability for the entire year. The company is likely in the top 1% in software delivery performance. It has a very demanding but advanced engineering culture with a relentless focus on continuously shipping value for users. Shipping safely at this velocity and scale implies heavy investment in automated tests, deployments, rollbacks, observability, code ownership, and other areas.
While everyone seems to want to replace software engineers, AI just isn't there yet. Not everyone can just dive into a problem with little context and get started - it takes time to understand the problem and ask relevant questions to determine requirements. There is value in being able to say 'I don't know how to do this', but this is less and less likely to happen now that people are falling back to AI for answers when all else fails. People learn by doing something hard - struggle is part of improvement.

Anthropic's new Claude models are more willing than prior models to take initiative on their own in agentic contexts. This can show up as more actively helpful behavior in ordinary coding settings, but it can cause the model to act concerningly when prompted with strong moral imperatives. This can include locking users out of systems or bulk-emailing media and law-enforcement figures to inform them of wrongdoing. The behavior only shows up in testing environments where the model is given unusually free access to tools and very unusual instructions.
