Building Dropbox Dash: How RAG and AI agents help meet the needs of businesses (dropbox.tech)
Knowledge workers today face myriad challenges in managing their digital workflows. Information is often scattered across multiple applications and formats, and finding the right document, message, or piece of information can be both tedious and time-consuming. This fragmentation creates two major problems for businesses: it hinders collaboration and productivity, and it can lead to costly security issues.
Co-designing a sparse music codec with ChatGPT o3 (akuz.me)
For years I’ve wanted to build a super-dense electronic-music compressor: keep only the loops and phase cues that really matter, then re-synthesise the track perfectly. Evenings and weekends, however, were never long enough to design the model, write the maths, and wrangle PyTorch. Recently I opened ChatGPT running the new o3 model and treated it as a design partner. If we could keep the conversation focused, perhaps we could sketch—and prototype—the entire idea in a single stretch.
Simons Foundation Launches Collaboration on Ecological Neuroscience (simonsfoundation.org)

Ask HN: Is Basecamp Good? (ycombinator.com)
Genuinely curious to understand from people who have used other stuff from Atlassian, Notion etc and successfully made switch to Basecamp. Or vice versa. Basecamp design and tools look very well done but somehow in the past it has not stuck much with me or various teams I have tried it with. Love DHH & Jason on X and their books tho!

Join the W3C Exploration Interest Group: where standards start (w3.org)
You know the feeling. You’re in a product meeting, skimming GitHub issues, or catching up on another EU regulatory proposal, and you realize there’s something missing in how we’re building for the web. Maybe it’s a technical shortfall, maybe it’s a user experience no one’s nailed yet, or maybe it’s a whole category of use case the current standards aren’t touching with a ten-foot pole.
The AI skeptic's guide to AI collaboration (hils.substack.com)
The people who are most skeptical of AI are often those with the highest standards for quality. They've spent years honing their craft and see their work as deeply personal. To them, AI-produced work feels empty and soulless.
Engineers who won't commit (seangoedecke.com)
Some engineers think it’s a virtue to remain non-committal in technical discussions. Should our team build a new feature in an event-driven or synchronous way? Well, it depends: there are many strong technical reasons on each side, so it’s better to keep an open mind and not come down on either side.
A multilayered approach: what's next for carton packaging? (ft.com)
