Gemini Models are Misunderstood

Recently, Google released a couple new Gemini models. They were Gemini 3.6 Flash, 3.5 Flash Lite, and 3.5 Flash Cyber. Many people on the internet roasted Gemini Flash and Flash Lite for their less-than-frontier performance. This makes sense when you consider that OpenAI and Anthropic have been sparring back and forth for first place for quite a while but Gemini almost never gets that first place position. After all, this is Google we are talking about.

How to prove the business value of AI

Proving AI business value means sorting every AI investment into one of four buckets - revenue growth, cost avoidance, productivity gain, or risk reduction - then tracking spend at the unit level (per feature, customer, or team) so each dollar has a traceable return. Most companies measure one bucket well and leave the rest unattributed. That gap is why the same AI deployment can look like a $40M win and a public reversal at the same time.

Install AURA to Debug Incidents Using an Open Source SRE Agent

AURA is a fully open-source agentic harness built for SRE and production operations work. In this walkthrough, Mezmo forward deployed engineer Jeff iinstalls AURA on a local desktop, runs `aura init` to generate the config and connect it to an Anthropic Sonnet model, then wires in a Grafana MCP server pointed at his homelab.

School at Home Is a Data Problem Before It Is a Teaching Problem

A family pulls their daughter out of school in March, planning to finish sixth grade at home and re-enroll her in the fall. In September the district registrar asks for an account of the spring: days of instruction, subjects covered, evidence of progress. What the parents have is a stack of finished workbooks, a library card with a long history, and a phone full of undated photos. They spend a weekend reconstructing five months from memory.

CAD Design for Accurate Construction Drawings and Permit-Ready Building Plans

Every constructing challenge starts off long before the first brick is laid or the primary beam is raised. It begins on a display screen, in a field of strains and measurements that quietly determine whether a shape will stand authentic or run into costly issues later.

Construction Safety Toolbox Talks: A Video-First Approach to Site Safety

Every construction site operates on a delicate balance between productivity and risk. Toolbox talks-brief, focused safety meetings held before shifts or during breaks-have long served as a frontline defense against workplace injuries.
