Consider a representative detection team building a rule for suspicious LSASS access. On a modern Windows estate, Sysmon Event ID 10 (or an equivalent EDR process-access event) is the collection choice, because the standard Security log has no event for one pr…
I ported a Markdown parser from Rust to C++ and then optimized the hell out of it.
How To Report A Bug So It Actually Gets Fixed
A production ByteBuf leak took me from Netty logs to a fix shipped by Microsoft in a few weeks. Here is the step-by-step process I use to report bugs so they actually get fixed.
Cache-Control for LLMs
Claude Sonnet 5 charges $2.00 per million fresh input tokens. Writing them into a five-minute cache costs $2.50, and every read after that costs $0.20 (see here). So two identical calls cost $2.70 with caching instead of $4.00. One reuse pays for the write.
There's no substitute for real-world experience | MattCASmith

Thanks to the Nix Vegas team for recording and releasing the talks from this year. Here are the slides from my talk on August 7th, 2026 at the Nix Comunity from DEFCON 34.
Retries aren't free. A look at how retry amplification wastes GPU capacity during inference, and why pacing demand instead of rejecting it can turn excess load into waiting time instead of wasted compute.

Pol had 12 hours, a blank repo, and a fresh weekly quota. By morning, only one of those remained.
I already have Claude Code, so if all you bring to the table is 'I know how to use Clude Code' then I don't really need you.
Thirty-seven runs, seven models, two tasks, one RTX 5080. Thirty of forty-five accuracy comparisons did not separate. The ones that did are almost all below four bits, where dense models pay roughly five times what mixtures pay and a quantization-aware build i…

Building a Better Inner Loop — Bradley Gibbs
Loop engineering as a systems problem: the same development work, reallocated across a new boundary — where each function should live, what changes when it moves, and what evidence would show the resulting system is better.
I Shouldn’t Need an LLM to Explain My LLM
I’ve been using Opus a lot at work lately for a project and have had serious issues with it reaching for bizarre analogies, obscure jargon, and strange phrases.
