Fenomena Kompetisi Automata Mekanis: Seni Kinetik dan Rekayasa Kreatif
Dalam era modern saat ini, perpaduan antara seni dan teknologi semakin menarik perhatian, salah satu contohnya adalah dalam fenomena kompetisi membuat automata mekanis. Automata mekanis merupakan karya seni kinetik yang tidak hanya mengandalkan keindahan visual, tetapi juga membutuhkan pemahaman mendalam tentang rekayasa kreatif untuk menciptakan gerakan yang kompleks dan mengagumkan. Artikel ini akan membahas bagaimana kompetisi inovasi di bidang automata mekanis menjadi wadah menyatukan seni dan teknologi secara harmonis.
Apa Itu Automata Mekanis?
Automata mekanis adalah sebuah objek atau figur yang dapat bergerak secara otomatis menggunakan mekanisme mesin. Biasanya, automata ini terbuat dari berbagai material seperti kayu, logam, atau plastik, dan dioperasikan melalui roda gigi, tuas, dan sistem penggerak mekanis lainnya.
Automata bukan hanya sekadar mainan mekanik; mereka merepresentasikan bentuk seni kinetik yang memukau. Gerakan yang dihasilkan automata bisa berupa animasi sederhana hingga rangkaian gerakan rumit yang menciptakan pengalaman visual dan emosional bagi penontonnya.

Tell me if you’ve heard this one before. We build a super intelligent system and give it a specific goal like maximizing paperclip production. The system decides to do the job as well as possible by converting all available matter into paperclips. Everything. The Earth. The solar system. All of it. After the universe collapses the machine shuts down, content that it followed directions.
This is the malicious genie problem that every Dungeons & Dragons player knows. You find a lamp. You make a wish. The genie grants the wish in the most technical way possible and it leads to catastrophe. The lesson we are supposed to learn is that a sufficiently capable AI system will find ways to satisfy objectives to the letter while simultaneously not doing it the way you wanted. The foundation of AI safety is to prevent that from happening.
Nick Bostrom has covered this in Superintelligence. Eliezer Yudkowsky has argued this very thing for years. It’s a compelling story. But it has a hidden assumption that causes more confusion that it solves.
The Best Intentions
The genie tale is a story about intent. The genie knows exactly what you asked for. It just found the Continue reading
Time for Another Summer Break?
I can confirm that an old saying is true: the older you are, the faster years pass. Can’t believe it’s time for another summer break. I hope you’ll manage to get away from work, turn off the Internet, and enjoy a few days in your favorite spot with your loved ones!
I also promise I won’t be annoying you with boring stuff like EVPN next hops or pointers to AI myth-busters (I have to admit it: I was cleaning my Inbox this week). However, I probably won’t be able to resist publishing a few lightweight netlab-related blog posts, or links to interesting content.

Cloudflare Workflows allows you to build durable, multi-step applications with built-in retries and state persistence across long-running processes. When a Workflow executes, each step can call external systems, retry failures, and persist state across restarts. But if one step fails, it may leave earlier work from completed steps in an inconsistent or partial state.
Today we’re shipping saga rollbacks for Workflows, allowing you to declare rollback logic within the step itself, in case of failure.
For example, consider a workflow for transferring funds between accounts at two different banks:
Debit from account at Bank A
Credit to account at Bank B
Send email confirmation to both account owners
What happens if Step 2, the credit to account at Bank B, fails? Once the debit succeeds at Bank A, the transaction is committed and the money has left its system. As the orchestrator of the transaction, you cannot simply “undo” the operation in Bank A's system. Instead, the money must be credited back to the account at Bank A through a new operation that semantically reverses the first one.
This pairing of an operation and its compensation logic is called the saga pattern.
Before today, developers had to implement their own Continue reading

Unlocking the Cloudflare app ecosystem with OAuth for all
Cloudflare provides services that help run 20% of the web, but we don’t do it alone. Developers on our platform use a myriad of tools and services from other companies too. Cloudflare provides a rich API for our platform that enables developers to create automations, CI/CD, and integrations that glue together the various parts of their infrastructure. Earlier this month, we announced self-managed OAuth, making it easier for customers to create and manage their own OAuth clients for delegated access to the Cloudflare API.
Cloudflare isn’t new to OAuth. If you’ve used Wrangler, or used integrations from partners like PlanetScale, then you’ve already used it. However, until now, third-party OAuth was only available through a small number of manually onboarded integrations, and was not available to developers more broadly. That meant developers building their own integrations had to rely on API tokens, which are harder to manage and a poor fit for many delegated application flows.
Over the last year, we onboarded a growing number of early partners while improving the consent, revocation, and security model behind Cloudflare OAuth. But as our Developer Platform grew and agentic tools drove demand for delegated access, it became clear that opening Continue reading

The post-quantum EO is an important milestone. Now it’s time to get to work
On June 22, 2026, President Trump signed Executive Order 14409, "Securing the Nation Against Advanced Cryptographic Attacks." The order sets a December 31, 2030, deadline for federal agencies to transition their most sensitive systems to post-quantum encryption, and a December 31, 2031, deadline for post-quantum authentication. The EO also directs federal contractors to comply with post-quantum Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) by the end of 2030.
We welcome this executive order. The U.S. government has a long track record of using federal leadership and procurement to drive adoption of new technologies across the broader industry. We've seen this work with IPv6, with routing security and the Resource Public Key Infrastructure (RPKI), and with DNSSEC, and we’re glad to see this tradition continue with post-quantum cryptography.
The EO is especially important at this moment because the timeline for Q-Day, the day that quantum computers can break the public-key cryptography used across the Internet, has been accelerated. In April 2026, Cloudflare moved our own target for full post-quantum security to 2029, following research breakthroughs from Google and Oratomic. This EO updates guidance from 2024, when the National Institute of Standards Continue reading

ONIE-Based SONiC Installation
Many
switch vendors have added SONiC NOS support to at least part of their switch
portfolio. Depending on the vendor and switch model, customers may be able to
order a switch with a vendor-customized SONiC version that is supported at the
same level as the vendor's own network operating system. Some vendors also
allow customers to run the community-based SONiC distribution.
The
support model for Community SONiC depends on the vendor. Some hardware vendors
provide full support, while others provide no support at all. Compared with
vendor-specific SONiC distributions, Community SONiC provides greater
flexibility because it can be customized, rebuilt, and adapted to customer
requirements. However, running a Community SONiC deployment without vendor
support or in-house expertise is generally not a recommended operating model.
Community
SONiC is typically installed by using ONIE (Open Network Install Environment)
[1],
a small open-source installation environment that provides a standardized
method for installing network operating systems on supported switches. Figure
2-1 illustrates a conceptual ONIE-based Community SONiC installation process.
If the switch is delivered with a vendor-specific SONiC distribution already installed, it may boot directly into that operating system without requiring a separate ONIE installation workflow. For Community SONiC deployments, Continue reading
