Featured post what's this? ✨ I stress-tested Meta Muse until its agent control plane started timing out Four spawn experiments against a black-box multi-agent runtime, six database lock timeouts recovered from its durable trace, and a careful look at what that evidence does and does not show.
As a Microsoft Engineer, This Is the AI Agent Story That Scared Me 1200 AI Agents were set loose. They built message boards, laws, and a mini-society. Then they turned on HuggingFace. Expained by a retired Microsoft engineer, the amazing story of the OpenAI - HuggingFace attack. Check out the new Task Manager TMOG a...

25 Years of Mass Surveillance Is Enough - Schneier on Security This essay was written with Cindy Cohn, and originally appeared in Lawfare. One of the many legacies of the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11 is the government-wide shift from targeted surveillance—such as individual wiretaps or pen register/trap and trace or...
Welcome to Linux From Scratch! Linux From Scratch (LFS) is a project that provides you with step-by-step instructions for building your own custom Linux system, entirely from source code.
Tell agents the why, not just the how Early AI agents were basically enthusiastic idiots. Working with them required you to tell them precisely what you wanted them to do (for instance, “method A…
Why we built Pion | Andon Labs Pion is the platform we built to run our autonomous businesses. Today we are opening it up so many more people can experiment with autonomous businesses, and here is why.
Mental Models for LLMs Mental Models help you and your AI agent make better decisions. I prepared a dense collection of mental models and thinking tools, ready to include into your AGENTS.md
Can a local LLM beat -O3? During his keynote at ACCU on Sea in June, Andrei Alexandrescu made some predictions. One of those was the integration of LLMs and compilers. Compilers can generate optimization remarks for LLMs to process. And LLMs can propose optimizations that are diff...

Writing code by hand is not an option anymore - one more thing Writing code by hand is something from the past, but not everything is lost
Niklas Gruhn - The beauty of roundabouts I have a weird soft spot for roundabouts. Maybe because I'm a software engineer and the roundabout strikes me as the simple, elegant solution while the traffic light intersection is the ad-hoc, over-engineered mess.
I stress-tested Meta Muse until its agent control plane started timing out Four spawn experiments against a black-box multi-agent runtime, six database lock timeouts recovered from its durable trace, and a careful look at what that evidence does and does not show.
When Both Mirror Drives Fail the Same Way | Marc Paul A ZFS mirror lost both NVMe members to the same firmware bug, one night apart, and I fired the second shot myself. What redundancy actually assumes, and what a UPS quietly breaks.
The Great Unwind As AI makes code cheaper to replace, teams need a reliable way to preserve how their product behaves through each rewrite.
Improving Throughput by Optimising KV Cache Efficiency for Agentic Workloads Boosting throughput by leveraging characteristics of agentic workloads to increase efficiency of the KV cache.
notes: email Email is infuriating until you realise it's just paper that can teleport. Your messages are paper, each reply is paper, threads are just piles of paper, with all the same strengths and weaknesses of letters written on paper.
Ruby on Rails Lost Its Superpower Rails gave me a career. But the users and programmers it was designed for have changed, and other stacks now offer the same head start.
We are all Product Engineers now Agents are eating the software development lifecycle from the bottom up — code generation already gone, review and ops following fast. What remains is figuring out what people actually want, which can't be automated or scaled. That job is called product e...
The Cloudflare products I actually use An honest report on the Cloudflare products I use in real projects, what each one solves, the gotchas I found, and what I do not use yet.
How Is Compression Prediction? | Luca Lombardo When does lossless compression reduce to prediction, and what must already be fixed before that equivalence applies?

Pacing != pacing development My take on AI model pacing as a framework for release checks and the competitive pressure around model releases.
The Racing Will Continue Until The Beatings Commence — Rheisen X The people closest to frontier AI are asking for ways to slow down. Competitive, legal, political, and economic incentives still point toward acceleration.
Technology is a Net Good Version 0.90 The Bad During the pandemic I kept my phone in airplane mode, for no particular reason other than I was mostly in a place where there was wifi, and my phone worked with wifi calling as many modern cell providers operate. Why? Two reasons: cel...
Who Aligns the Aligners? Brief Legal Thoughts on the “AI Safety” Fights to Come Dario Amodei, the CEO of Anthropic, has published an essay – We Must Pace The Frontier – in which he writes: I have worked on AI for the last twelve years because I believe it could dramatically ra…
What Is an Agent Harness? Harness Engineering Explained An agent harness is everything around an AI model that grounds it in reality: tools, context, guardrails, the loop and verification. How to build one.
Enforcing Acyclic Hierarchies With SQL Assertions Introduction Referential integrity constraints have been available since version 7 of the Oracle Database. While these constraints ensure that referenced rows exist, they cannot express more complex integrity rules that span multiple rows or tables. Check...
