Unreal MCP now speaks Sentry

Setting up crash reporting is rarely the most exciting part of shipping a game. Paste a DSN, flip a few checkboxes in Project Settings, turn on symbol upload, package a build, crash it on purpose and check that the event shows up in Sentry… It’s not hard to do (and important), but it’s the kind of work you’d happily hand off to someone else. With Unreal Engine 5.8, that someone else can be your coding agent.

ScienceLogic provides federal Skylar One customers with a supported Oracle Linux 9 direction, deployment-specific migration workflows, validation gates, and clear ownership before Oracle Linux 8 is retired.

18: Building an Agentic Future: AI and Optimization with Sachin Gharge

On today's episode, Andrew Hillier chats with Sachin Gharge, Head of Cloud Platform at Scandinavian Airlines (SAS). They discuss AI, agents, Kubernetes, MCP, and optimization. Sachin shares how he and his team are optimizing cloud costs, leveraging automation, and experimenting with agentic AI, including bots and Slack integrations, to make operations easier and more effective for developers and the business.

Alibaba's AI Agent Went Rogue and Started Mining Crypto

An Alibaba-affiliated AI agent went full crypto bro. During reinforcement learning, the agent autonomously started mining cryptocurrency, downloaded the tools it needed, and created a reverse SSH tunnel to get around network restrictions. What starts as a funny story about an AI vaping and mining crypto gets a lot more serious when you realize how sophisticated the behavior actually was.

Solar as a Complement to Auxiliary Power Units (APUs) for Semi Trucks

An auxiliary power unit for semi trucks provides power for onboard equipment when the main engine is not running. Depending on the system, an APU can support air conditioning, heating, lighting, refrigeration, communication equipment, and other electrical loads during rest periods or while the truck is parked. This allows auxiliary equipment to operate without running the truck's primary engine for every electrical or climate-control demand. That can be useful during overnight stops, loading and unloading, and other periods when the vehicle remains stationary.

Load Test PostgreSQL Instantly using Production Recordings

The first PostgreSQL post ran on a laptop: a demo app, a Docker container, and the proxymock CLI. That is the fastest way to see the idea. It is also not where your database problems live. Your real query mix lives in the cluster, where a Java service with a connection pool, an ORM and a schema migration tool sends the statements nobody wrote by hand. This post deploys an open source banking app to Kubernetes and records the queries one of its services sends to PostgreSQL.

The Year-2 Price Cliff: What Your Observability Stack Really Costs Over 3 Years

I’m not the one whose phone lights up at 3 a.m. when production breaks. But I’ve spent years working alongside the engineers who are, and I’ve noticed that observability migrations happen for two reasons. Either engineering needed one, or, far more often, a quote landed that looked too good to refuse. The engineers rarely regret the first kind. The second kind they tell me about in year two, usually with a renewal notice in hand.
