The call came in at 2am. Not a page, an actual support recording, flagged by a customer who said our voice agent "hung up on her mid-sentence." I pulled the trace. The LLM call was perfect. 380ms, clean completion, sensible response. Every dashboard I had was green. The customer was still angry, and
The One SEC Form That Reveals Dilution Before It Hits Your Position — and How I Auto-Scan It Every retail trader learns the hard way that some 10-15% overnight gaps come out of nowhere, unrelated to news. It's shelf-registered dilution. The company filed an S-3 months ago, then quietly executed on i
This article shows how one SQL trigger and one extra WHERE clause let a vanilla JavaScript client detect and resolve edit conflicts — with no locking system, no hand-maintained version column, and no custom server. The example assumes you already know SQL and JavaScript. With that background, Supaba
I'm a solo developer in Bogotá, Colombia. This week something happened on a GitHub issue that I think is worth documenting, because it shows what "trustless verification" actually looks like in practice — not the whitepaper version, the real one with bugs found and fixed in public. I build VeraData
Sparse autoencoders — the core tool of mechanistic interpretability — can identify and amplify specific concepts inside a neural network, but they cannot reliably suppress unwanted behavior by clamping those concepts to "off." A new paper tested this directly: researchers pinned a model's refusal co
Welcome to the fourth issue of Docker Security Dispatch, written from the beautiful city of Bratislava, Slovakia. June has proven that the security battleground has shifted from the production server to the developer's workstation, the CI/CD pipeline cache, and the AI agent's execution context. Supp
Disclosure: I build MailKite, and the open-source mail-parse library I use as the example is ours. But the pattern is the point — it isn't MailKite-specific, and you can apply it to anything that eats messy input. Self-healing software is a system architected so that, when it hits input the real wor
From Regex to AST: Building Taint Tracking for AI Agent Code AgentGuard v0.5.0 ships AST-based taint tracking. This post explains how it works and why it matters. Regex catches obvious patterns: prompt = f"You are helpful. {user_input}" A regex rule sees f"..." with {user_input} and flags it. Done.
Hi Everyone! We had this classic pain point on our project: constantly chewing through massive JSON arrays. Catalogs, analytics dumps, ML datasets — files ranging from a couple of hundred megabytes to tens of gigabytes. The task was stupidly simple: split a giant JSON array into individual elements
If you have ever wanted to find every SEC filing that mentions a phrase, a person, or a legal term, EDGAR has a full text search index that covers every filing since 2001. It is a plain JSON API, no key and no login, and most people never touch it directly. GET https://efts.sec.gov/LATEST/search-ind
Deep networks have a cruel paradox. In theory, more layers should never hurt — the extra ones could just learn to pass their input through unchanged. In practice, before 2015, stacking more plain layers made networks worse: a 56-layer net had higher training error than a 20-layer one. The gradient v
Alibaba and its US digital payment processor have agreed to pay 600 million dollars to resolve a federal investigation into whether they failed to prevent the sale and importation of illegal pharmaceuticals and controlled substances, the Justice Department said on Wednesday. Alibaba entered into a n
