I'm NEVER buying HP printers again. What do you mean my printer had a KERNEL ERROR?!

Tomorrow my older son turns six. It's absolutely magical to have kids.

It takes local champions that act to build digital sovereignty. That’s why Zeta Alpha is teaming up with OEDIV, part of the Dr. Oetker Group, to deliver Sovereign AI and to securely connect companies’ internal knowledge with locally run AI models. 🧵 1/6 Reach out via lnkd.in/dktJM9W to learn more.

So, Fire Emblem is… good?

They explicit mention in the article that Tokyo, Rio and Istanbul are capital cities. I’m not talking about them previous games.

Rio is not a capital.

There are some engineers in São Paulo (and I think some in Rio?) but Belo Horizonte’s office still has the largest headcount for engineers, with a lot of work on search.

I’m a bit behind on my podcasts, but a small correction about Google Engineering offices worldwide: Brazil’s (main) engineering office is not in São Paulo, but in Belo Horizonte. It was created after they bought a startup spun out from the state’s University (Akwan) in 2005.

I had very similar experiences...
The only games that I found to be somewhat reliable about not showing ads and working offline are the ones from SagoMini. They have a subscription model that unlocks all their games.
I'm more than happy to pay for ad-free stuff, specially for my kids.

Why GenAI Pilots Fail: Common Challenges with Enterprise RAG Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) is powering the current wave of AI applications, from multimodal question answering and technical document summarization to streamlining knowledge-intensive work f...

Shipping a GenAI solution in production with a clear path to ROI is hard. In our latest post, we outline key challenges in Enterprise RAG, go beyond the basics with agents, and explore how automatic optimization can adapt these systems to domain-specific needs.

How to automatically evaluate and optimize multi-agent setups for deep research? Excited to share that this week @abcamara.com and I will be giving two talks in Amsterdam on one of our favorite R&D topics.

A wall spanning bookshelf with giant books.

## Books will soon be obsolete in school

https://shkspr.mobi/blog/2025/08/books-will-soon-be-obsolete-in-school/

I recently had a chance to ask a question to one of the **top** AI people. At a Q&A session, I raised my hand and asked simply "What is your […]

AI agents are only as useful as the tools they can reliably access, and the latest release of our Agents SDK makes it easy to connect to MCP servers.

We've prepared a quick guide where we bootstrap a minimal MCP-powered chat agent with just a few lines of code:

Just officially finished(?) Blue Price, or at least as far as the community is aware of its end.
My life goal is to make someone else play it without touching Google, and make them rely on me for tips and guidance. Is that how DMs feel like?

When used correctly, these tools can make you considerably more productive. IF you know what you are doing.

I’m far from a Luddite in these matters. I’m a happy (so far) paying costumer for Cursor, and codex is great. But every time I use these tools, I am more and more convinced that programming is far from over.

Same story with the no-code movement of some time ago. Specifying precisely what you want (call it prompting, call it no-code) is just… programming.

AI tools will reduce the need for software engineers the same way that no-code tools reduced this.

Being able to specify what software you want to build, how it should be structured, and how *exactly* it should work is... programming. And getting into the weeds, when needed.

That's an all-star cast if I've ever seen one.

The Browser Company explains why it stopped developing Arc Arc browser is now in a holding pattern.

Tambem amo o Arc, mas pena que os desenvolvedores já falaram que estão focando no browser novos deles (claro, todo AI-something something) www.theverge.com/news/674603/...

This is a dangerous slippery slope. IKEA smart lamps were my gateway drug into Home Assistant, mmWave sensors for presence detection and ESP32 gadgets to track energy and gas consumption in the house.

Of course I leave one day before the Switch 2 arrives.

I wouldn’t bring it with me anyway. 5yo is dying to play Mario Kart.

Next week I will be going on a 15-days trip to Brazil for two weddings. It’s the first time since high school that I will spend that long without working (or at least trying). And the first time in 5 years I will spend that long without wife and kids.

I think I will die of boredom.

Every time I open my Steam wishlist and see In The Valley of Gods I cry a bit inside.

After ~20h of Blue Prince, I think I will need an Obsidian canvas to keep track of everything. My notebook is just not quite cutting it
