Congratulations to Cathy Curtis, one of 20 readers who correctly identified last week’s “Where am I?” as “ Earthpeace ” by Wen Norton, on the Pilgrim Place campus in Claremont. The 10-foot tall monument, sculpted from a six ton block of calcite marble, was unveiled in 2015. Cathy is now entered into the year-end drawing for a one-year subscription to everyone’s favorite award-winning local newspaper, the Claremont Courier. So, “Where am I” this week? Email your answer, full name, and city of residence — and suggestions for future mystery photos — to [email protected] for your chance to win. Courier photo/Tom Smith

As agentic AI usage evolves to support more complex use cases, users and developers face a quickly evolving cost issue: token prices are coming down

GitHub’s Project HydraFusion brings multi-model orchestration to Copilot, automatically routing coding tasks across AI models to balance quality, cost and complexity.

GitHub Dependabot can now authenticate to GitHub-hosted package registries without personal access tokens, reducing credential management and supply chain security risk.

By: on TL;DR — Key Takeaways Only 46% of surveyed Rust developers use a debugger , with print statements and the dbg! macro remaining the dominant troubleshooting approach.

Instead of searching across laboratory results, medications, and specialist documentation, clinicians can prompt Epic and receive required information inside ChatGPT using new OpenAI connector.

GitHub is tightening enterprise control over AI coding agents in JetBrains.New managed Copilot sandbox policies let administrators define filesystem, network, proxy and developer-tool access — and verify that those controls are actually enforced.As coding agents gain more autonomy, the IDE increasingly needs to be treated like a governed runtime, not just an editor.#GitHubCopilot #JetBrains #AISecurity #PlatformEngineering

It’s the question we all find ourselves asking like the men did that day:

GitHub is making Advanced Security easier for mid-size engineering teams to try, expanding self-service GHAS trials to organizations with up to 300 licenses and lowering the barrier to testing Code Security and Secret Protection on real repositories. #GitHub #GHAS #DevSecOps #ApplicationSecurity

Five GitHub incidents in one month show how Actions and Copilot growth is changing the reliability equation. When GitHub sits in the delivery path, its outage can quickly become your production incident. #GitHub #DevOps #GitHubActions #GitHubCopilot #PlatformEngineering
