How We Built Race Radio Control in a Week With Claude Code and Airia

Last week, Chris Porter and I entered the Airia F1 Atlassian Williams Racing virtual hackathon as team JoPoCo (Jones + Porter + Co). We had seven days to build an AI-powered fan experience for remote motorsport viewers. What we shipped was Race Radio Control: a second-screen companion that lets fans tune into four AI-powered radio feeds — Carlos Sainz, Alex Albon, team principal James Vowles, and stats host Max Folds — all grounded in live telemetry data.

Stop Debating When Quantum Breaks RSA. Start Building the Ability to Switch.

Another week, another quantum breakthrough. On March 2, the Advanced Quantum Technologies Institute announced the JVG algorithm, a hybrid classical-quantum approach that, they claim, could factor RSA keys with fewer than 5,000 qubits. That is three orders of magnitude below the million-qubit estimates we have been working with for years.
