Amazon has agreed to invest up to $25 billion in Anthropic as part of an expanded agreement to build out AI infrastructure. The investment includes $5 billion into Anthropic now, with up to $20 billion tied to certain commercial milestones. Anthropic has committed to spending more than $100 billion on Amazon Web Services technologies over the next 10 years. It has secured up to 5 gigawatts of capacity for training and deploying its models.

This article tells the story of how scientists figured out how the flagellar motor worked. The flagellar motor was discovered by Howard Berg, who set out in the early 1970s to apply his training in physics to understand how bacteria move. Bacteria move quickly, so Berg had to invent and build an automatic tracking microscope to keep them in view. He hypothesized how the mechanism worked 50 years before scientists discovered how the motor works.

Both AES-128 and SHA-256 are safe against quantum computers. No symmetric key sizes have to change as part of the post-quantum transition. Almost all experts agree on this. The misconception is usually based on a misunderstanding of the applicability of a quantum algorithm called Grover's.

Jujutsu megamerges let developers work on many different streams of work simultaneously. This article provides an in-depth explanation of how they work. Megamerges are a way of showing developers the whole picture and are not really meant to be pushed to remote. Developers will still want to publish branches individually as usual.

93% of Cloudflare's R&D organization used AI coding tools powered by infrastructure that they built on their own platform. The team built its own MCP servers, access layer, and AI tooling necessary for agents to be useful at Cloudflare. This has had a significant impact on the number of merge requests made. The four week rolling average has climbed from around 5,600 per week to over 8,700. This post looks at how Cloudflare achieved this.

This post covers many topics in the AI space, including the percentage of GDP attributed to AI revenue in 2030, compute ceilings, and harnesses. It also covers anti-AI regulation and how violence against the technology will increase.

Amazon reportedly pressured major brands to ask competing retailers to raise prices on certain products. California is suing Amazon over allegations that the retailer harms competition and increases prices that consumers pay online. The lawsuit claims that Amazon punished sellers for offering lower prices on other websites. The trial is scheduled to begin next year.
