Microsoft launches Rayfin to let developers and agents build app back ends on Fabric.

At Build 2026, Microsoft launched the Rayfin open-source SDK and CLI tools, helping developers use code to define an entire application backend with AI coding agents, including data models, APIs, business logic, and access policies, then deploy it to Microsoft Fabric with one click. This tool addresses the pain point where backend integration and governance are often delayed after AI makes frontend development easier, achieving deep integration of code definition with Fabric, OneLake, and Power BI. To further lower the barrier, Microsoft also partnered with Replit, allowing developers to quickly build and deploy to enterprise-grade Fabric tenants in a familiar environment. Early user Leatherman Tool Group has rapidly iterated through Replit while keeping data under unified governance in Fabric. This release, alongside Fabric IQ, marks Microsoft's push toward a new model where AI agents directly build and run production-grade applications.

Policy & Regulation

Trump signs a scaled-back version of the AI executive order.

U.S. President Donald Trump signed an executive order to promote the widespread use of artificial intelligence in federal cybersecurity. The order requires the government to establish a classification benchmark evaluation system to identify 'frontier models' with advanced cybersecurity capabilities. Developers of qualified models must provide the government with access 30 days before release to help strengthen critical infrastructure protection. Previously, some tech companies opposed the original draft, delaying the signing. The order also requires federal departments to establish an AI cybersecurity exchange center and expand AI tool support for federal, state, and local agencies. Starting with voluntary participation from model developers, this move aims to leverage AI to quickly discover and fix software vulnerabilities, improving overall cyber defense levels.

Industry Partnerships

Fiduciary grade AI sets the bar as Thomson Reuters and Snowflake bring governed intelligence to the professions.

At Snowflake Summit 2026, Thomson Reuters and Snowflake's partnership demonstrated how credit-grade AI can become a core capability for high-risk industries. The company's data platform built on Snowflake includes over 37,000 managed tables and 350 databases, providing trusted AI support for its legal, tax, and audit clients. Its legal AI assistant CoCounsel, after the $650 million acquisition of Casetext in 2023, has evolved from a RAG model to an authoritative content-based agent system, keeping lawyers in control at every step. Officials stated that authoritative data, security investment, expert validation, and transparent results are the four key elements of credit-grade AI. In internal data transformation, Snowflake unified 23 customer master data sources into a semantic layer, enabling over 1,500 users to self-serve queries. This collaboration provides a foundation for enterprise-level semantic intelligence, emphasizing that deep industry knowledge is essential for true AI transformation in specialized fields.

Cyera was founded in 2021 and provides data security solutions for AI environments, serving one-fifth of Fortune 500 companies. Recently, the company used this funding round to support business expansion and complete acquisitions of startups such as Ryft and Genie Security.

RSS Subscription

After subscribing to some newsletters for over 20 years, the author unsubscribed because they switched to AI-generated content. He emphasizes the importance of the human voice, believing it comes from real experience, while AI content lacks that depth and emotion. He mentions that although the author's son took over the newsletter and shared stories, he remained subscribed until the last story was published, highlighting the significant difference between human creation and AI-generated content.

Naively summing an alternating series

When writing a program to compute the exponential function, a tolerance of 10^-12 was used, but when calculating exp(-20), the result deviated significantly from the actual value. The cause is oscillation due to negative terms and cancellation effects in numerical computation, which ultimately affect precision. To avoid this, a more accurate result can be obtained by computing 1/exp(20), thus avoiding the cancellation issues.

London Data Store Relaunch

It has been sixteen years since the data website data.london.gov.uk was launched. As one of the first major cities to publish open data, it is not just a data repository but a celebration of how open data improves the lives of Londoners. Now, the website has undergone a complete update, including improvements to both the backend and frontend.

Welcoming the Philippine Government to Have I Been Pwned

Today, the Philippines became the 46th country to join the free government service 'Have I Been Pwned'. The Philippine National Computer Emergency Response Team, in cooperation with the Department of Information and Communications Technology, can now monitor official government domains against data in HIBP.

A survey of inlining heuristics

Just-in-time (JIT) compilers typically process one method at a time, which is a natural unit of code in dynamic languages. Methods are often small, especially in languages that use method dispatch (like Ruby), causing the compiler to lack the context needed for optimization. Inlining is key to improving performance, but improper inlining can lead to code bloat, cache misses, and interference with other optimizations, even increasing compilation time. Therefore, writing a compiler requires considering these trade-offs and using heuristics to decide when to inline.

Rotation revisited: Another unidirectional algorithm

We discussed the problem of swapping two memory blocks in constant memory and found that GCC's libstdc++ generally uses a different algorithm rather than a specialized case for single-element rotation. This algorithm swaps elements of block A with those of block B through n-1 exchanges, eventually splitting block A into two parts and completing the swap via recursive rotation, which has good locality.

Is datacentre sovereignty really that important?

The importance of data center sovereignty is being questioned, especially in the UK, where many politicians and commentators believe that a lack of local data centers will lead to falling behind. However, research shows that latency for AI services is not a major issue, as many AI applications are less sensitive to latency. Additionally, the tax contribution of data centers is relatively limited; even if all 30 GW of data centers under construction globally were moved to the UK, the annual tax revenue would be only about £3 billion, roughly 0.2% of government spending. Ultimately, the geographic location of a data center does not guarantee priority access for local users; the real leverage lies in contractual arrangements with the data center.

The ‘60 Minutes’ Purge

Among the eight correspondents for the 2025-2026 season of the program "60 Minutes," several have been fired or have left, including Scott Pelley and Anderson Cooper. Since David Ellison acquired CBS and appointed Barry Weiss as editor-in-chief of CBS News, the program has lost half of its on-air talent. Among the remaining correspondents, the continued employment of Lesley Stahl and Bill Whitaker faces challenges.

My GNU Emacs completion setup (as of June 2026)

Due to attacks from high-traffic crawlers, some older browsers (especially Chrome) may be mistakenly flagged as suspicious, preventing access to my blog (Wandering Thoughts) or its associated CSpace. It is recommended to use a newer browser version and to contact me with browser information and the User-Agent string if you encounter issues. Additionally, it is recommended to use archive.org for page archiving, as other archiving services may use outdated User-Agents, leading to access failures.

CBS News Fires Scott Pelley of ‘60 Minutes’

CBS News' Scott Pelley was fired for "cause termination." In a phone interview, he said he had dedicated decades to the "60 Minutes" program and expressed strong dissatisfaction with the new management's incompetence and unprofessionalism, claiming it led to the collapse of the network's value. Pelley also revealed that CBS executives pressured him to insert bias into his segments.

The Underworld Market to Remove the Recording Indicator Light on Meta Glasses

On Facebook Marketplace, people offer services to disable the recording indicator light on Ray-Ban Meta glasses, calling it 'stealth mode'. Joanna Stern paid $100 for this and conducted an in-depth investigation into the business of turning smart glasses into hidden cameras, including its legality and measures to prevent it.

Skills Registry Threat Models

The skill package of an AI agent includes prompts, scripts, dependencies, and tool permissions, which can be loaded on demand. Over the past year, multiple skill registries such as ClawHub, Tessl, and skills.sh have been launched, mainly based on existing package registry mechanisms. Skill registries not only support dependency declarations from various package managers but may also introduce security risks during installation. Users who do not read the manifest may face threats such as code execution and prompt injection.

Uber Caps Usage of AI Tools Like Claude Code to Manage Costs

On June 3, 2026, Uber announced it would limit employees' monthly spending on AI coding tools to $1,500 to control costs. This policy applies to intelligent coding software such as Cursor and Claude Code, aiming to address overspending. According to estimates, the annual AI spending cap per engineer is $36,000, accounting for about 11% of the median annual salary.
