Half the AI Agent Market Is One Category. The Rest Is Wide Open.
Anthropic's new data shows software engineering dominates agentic AI. For founders, that's not a warning. It's a treasure map.

Causal inference shapes crossmodal postdiction in multisensory integration https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-026-36884-6 on how we integrate multisensory information backward in time.

Causal inference shapes crossmodal postdiction in multisensory integration - Scientific Reports
In our environment, stimuli from different sensory modalities are initially processed within a temporal window of multisensory integration spanning several hundred milliseconds. During this window, stimulus processing is influenced not only by preceding and current information, but also by input that follows the stimulus. The computational mechanisms underlying crossmodal backward processing, which we refer to as crossmodal postdiction, are not well understood. We examined crossmodal postdictio…

Een toeslag van minstens 2 euro per pakketje? De Raad van State maant het kabinet niet te overhaasten | de Volkskrant

Ahh ... De RvS vraagt niets meer of minder dan zorgvuldig beleid. Kennelijk ontbreekt er een stuk onderbouwing... 🙈
De vorm waarin de toeslag gegoten is, vind ik wel een slimme. Het komt mooi overeen met de stijging in kosten (lees: tijd) die de douane maakt om een zending te controleren. Die heeft immers maar weinig met de waarde te maken.

Using nsnotifyd with a PowerDNS Secondary
The nsnotifyd tool is a neat little utility that can be used for automating tasks when a DNS zone changes. It listens for a NOTIFY message from a DNS server and then you can choose to use a custom script to do things like send alerts or backup the zone …
