Fragments: July 13

Some more of my notes from Thoughtworks Future of Software Development Retreat. When we had our first retreat in Utah early this year, nobody had heard of Harness Engineering. This time we had a whole session on it. When comes to the guide side of harnesses, most of the discussion is about context management. While context windows have increased is size as models get more sophisticated, that doesn’t mean that models will properly focus on the right bits. Models typically only focus attention on

Modernizing the Meta Ads Service With an Open-Source Kernel Scheduler

TL; DR At Meta’s scale, a few milliseconds of latency degradation can have a significant negative impact on ads performance.  When a Linux kernel upgrade risked regressing latency across Meta’s ad serving fleet, we turned to sched_ext — the upstream, BPF-based extensible scheduling framework — to build a scheduling policy customized to the Ads delivery [...] Read More... The post Modernizing the Meta Ads Service With an Open-Source Kernel Scheduler appeared first on Engineering at Meta.

Key findings from the 2026 Public Sector M-Trends report and beyond

In 2026, the public sector is no longer defending a traditional perimeter. Instead, they are defending a complex web of interconnected trust relationships against adversaries that now operate at machine speed. We recently published the 2026 Public Sector Threat Landscape: M-Trends and Beyond report, which distills more than 500,000 hours of frontline incident investigations conducted by Mandiant in 2025, specifically tailored to the mission-critical needs of public sector leaders. Key findings f

Securing the AI supply chain on GKE: Introducing k8s-aibom for automated AI BOMs

How should your security team manage shadow AI? Workloads deployed by developers without formal registration can often evade traditional security scanners, because organizations are reluctant to slow down development and compromise stability by demanding privileged Daemonsets, kernel-level access, and manual pod-spec edits. To break this deadlock, today we are open-sourcing k8s-aibom. This lightweight, unprivileged Kubernetes controller continuously monitors the cluster API and container environ

Building the AI-defined vehicle with Android, Google Cloud, and Nexus SDV

The automotive industry is moving from building hardware-centric platforms toward building their own sophisticated Software-Defined Vehicle (SDV) architectures. For OEMs, a vehicle is no longer just a way to go from point A to point B, but an intelligent, connected node within an AI-native ecosystem!  With its partners, Google’s Android and Google Cloud are at the forefront of this transition. Android’s open source Automotive OS (AAOS) SDV implements the AI-defined vehicle while  Google Cloud pr
