AdaptHealth says attackers used social engineering to breach its systems
and steal sensitive patient data,
including passwords associated with insurance billing.
The medical equipment company disclosed the attack to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on Thursday,
noting that attackers accessed internal patient management systems, document storage platforms,
and external electronic health record system portals.
The attack targeted an unwitting thi…

Microsoft unveils $2.5B ‘Frontier Company’ to embed AI engineers inside customers
"Microsoft Frontier Company" is a $2.5 billion initiative that will embed engineers inside customer organizations to build and run their AI systems. The move follows similar efforts by Amazon, OpenAI and Anthropic, and expands work Microsoft was already doing through its consulting arm and partners.

Indonesia is tackling an ambitious energy challenge: replacing diesel generators across 17,000 islands with solar and batteries.
The price tag? $2.5-3.4 billion. But it pays for itself in just 3-6 years through reduced fuel costs and emissions.
The key insight: treat this like Lego blocks, not custom engineering. Build repeatable systems that can scale, driving down costs and accelerating the renewable transition.

Abstract: In mathematics and engineering, control theory is concerned with the analysis of dynamical systems through the application of suitable control inputs. One of the prominent problems in control theory is controllability which concerns the ability to determine whether there exists a control input that can steer a dynamical system from an initial state to a desired final state within a finite time horizon. There is a general theory for controlling linear or linearizable system, but it cannot be applied to discrete systems like cellular automata, which is the problem of that we address in this paper. We develop a general theory for linear (and affine) cellular automata, and apply it to examples of one-dimensional and two-dimensional Boolean cases. We introduce the concept of controllability matrix and show that controllability holds if and only if the controllability matrix is invertible.

Flower framework to deal with ai engineering work transition
Juliette is a game dev who was excited by ai then , oh, its disruptive and can software dev be ending?
So she made a model for thinking about the impact on teams and engineers.
It activities:
What is the work that might be affected? She has a list of things too long to read.
Define how each is done, standard best practice etc. How outputs of each are inputs to others.
Claude builds skills based on that.
Ai capabilities:
Can si do those things? Can it ever?
Probably not for many.
So what is the impact going to be?
If its all done by ai the job is thinking about the product not coding. That plus working out the odds its done it right. More importantly, philosophy! The job is to define what good software is and have the robot implement.
So sounds like she thinks were heading to the job being thinking about systems then wrangling robots.
But only if its reliable and cheap and not regulated away.
Which might not be the case.
Buy her book for the full list and analysis.
