So ive just been reading the Carbon Safety documents as I wanted to catch up with what the Google folks have got cooking over there.. ....And what intrigued me is instead of building out their own safe STL type framework library of code they are instead going to re-use the already large collection of libraries from the Rust Cargo System through interop!! They say, and I quote: "The Carbon project will work to avoid...
Published on: September 04, 2025 | Source:So what exactly is RAG? In simple terms, it stands for retrieval-augmented generation. Let us focus on these two aspects: retrieval and generation. With standard generative AI (GenAI), you provide a prompt, and a GenAI application would use a large language model to come up with a suitable response for the prompt. Now, imagine an application that can retrieve information from various sources and then generate a...
Published on: September 01, 2025 | Source:Amazon EKS makes running containerized applications easier, but it doesn’t give you automatic visibility into JVM internals like memory usage or garbage collection. For Java applications, observability requires two levels of integration: Cluster-level monitoring for pods, nodes, and deployments JVM-level APM instrumentation for heap, GC, threads, latency, etc. New Relic provides both via Helm for infrastructure...
Published on: September 02, 2025 | Source:I wanted to see how easy (or messy) it really is to extract structured data from PDFs with code. So over the last month, I tried a few approaches (using Postman & Python) and thought I would share on what worked, what didn’t and what ended up being worth the effort. a) DIY Workflow with GPT-4o and Claude 3.5 Both OpenAI’s GPT-4o and Anthropic’s Claude models are surprisingly good at understanding invoice layouts...
Published on: September 01, 2025 | Source:The repo is linked if anyone wants to check the source itself. I’ve been experimenting with using AI to build more complex software systems. Over the past few weeks, we (me + “Eve,” my AI collaborator) attempted to create a C89 compiler with an LLVM backend. The purpose of the experiment is to let an agent go wild and see what it can do, not to replace humans or make it seem like a production-level compiler. The...
Published on: August 30, 2025 | Source:Modern automation frameworks have come a long way—Playwright, Cypress, RestAssured, Cucumber, and Selenium enable teams to run sophisticated end-to-end validations across browsers and services. But under all that progress lies a risk that's still alarmingly common: secrets hardcoded into test code or environment files. These aren’t just theoretical risks. In one large enterprise, a regression test suite for an internal...
Published on: September 02, 2025 | Source:This article demonstrates how a critical Trivy SBOM generation fix (PR #9224) can be scaled into an enterprise GenAI-powered platform, delivering comprehensive DevSecOps automation and millions in cost savings. We will explore the technical implementation from core dependency resolution improvements to enterprise-scale AI-driven vulnerability intelligence. The Foundation: Cross-Result Dependency Resolution in Trivy...
Published on: September 02, 2025 | Source:I recently experimented with QtJambi, a Java wrapper for the well-known Qt C++ library used to build GUIs. Here are some initial thoughts, remarks and observations: Building a QtJambi project can be somewhat challenging. It requires installing the Qt framework, configuring system paths to Qt’s native libraries, and setting proper JVM options. Although it is possible to bundle native libraries within the wrapper JARs, I...
Published on: September 01, 2025 | Source:Series reminder: This series explores how explainability in AI helps build trust, ensure accountability, and align with real-world needs, from foundational principles to practical use cases. Previously, in Part IV: Beyond Explainability: What Else Is Needed: Governance, limits, and the need for operational frameworks.
