How iSAM Funds built an options research platform for a 10,000x data problem with ClickHouse Cloud (opens on the source site)
iSAM Funds uses ClickHouse Cloud to research full options history, achieving 35–50x compression and 100x faster single-core ingestion while simplifying its data pipelines.
AI Security Is an Engineering Problem — How to Solve It at Every Layer of the Agent Stack (opens on the source site)
Nvidia ·
AI security is an engineering problem. That means defined security requirements, enforceable controls, named owners and evidence that protections work. As AI becomes more capable, the industry must accelerate security engineering, broaden access to defensive tools and share what works faster. Technology Changes, Security Fundamentals Endure The internet and cloud computing changed how software operates, […]
Your REST APIs are not the problem, but your monitoring strategy might be (opens on the source site)
A 200 status doesn't mean your API returned something useful. Learn why response validation, chained workflow testing, and global monitoring matter more than status codes. Continue reading Your REST APIs are not the problem, but your monitoring strategy might be on SitePoint.
Is prevention essentially a solved problem? (opens on the source site)
Snyk ·
Prevention in agent-generated code is architecturally solved—but choosing controls that protect security without slowing development remains the challenge.
Your Legacy Code Isn’t the Problem (opens on the source site)
Every so often, a software development project lands on your desk with the shape already decided. The old system is the villain. It’s written in something nobody wants to touch, it breaks in ways no one can explain, and everyone agrees the answer is to rewrite it on a modern stack, run the project the […] The post Your Legacy Code Isn’t the Problem appeared first on Atomic Spin.
I’m Good at Solving Problems. Over-Owning is a Problem. (opens on the source site)
Recently, a partner team on one of my projects unexpectedly stepped away from work we depended on. Without their part, we could not ship the feature we were building. That made the situation both urgent and potentially difficult. A developer on my team had been leading much of the coordination and planning. She is someone […] The post I’m Good at Solving Problems.

17,600 Actions: Agent Security Is a Systems Problem (opens on the source site)
Docker ·
The OpenAI/Hugging Face incident exposed a new challenge for AI agent security. 17,600 attacker actions show why AI agent security can’t rely on human review. Explore the controls needed to constrain, observe, and govern agents at speed.
How data agents fail, and why it’s a context problem (opens on the source site)
As AI agents move into enterprise workflows, data agents are becoming some of the most business-critical. Every report, recommendation and operational decision depends on their ability to retrieve the right data. Yet while coding and knowledge agents continue to improve rapidly, data agents remain surprisingly unreliable. The reason isn't usually the model. It's that enterprise data carries meaning that exists outside the data itself, and agents have no reliable way to recover it. A wrong readmission rate A user typed a routine question into the data agent: "What's the 30-day readmission rate…
RFC 9880 and the IoT Validation Problem (opens on the source site)
The IoT/IIoT world has a data model problem and the concept of Digital Twin has made this issue more important. Plenty of people have tried to fix it. RFC 9880 and its Semantic Definition Format (SDF) are a serious attempt: a JSON-based, ecosystem-neutral way to describe what a device is and what it does. I have had some experiences with this specification, and I’ve understood that the format shows its full value once you treat it as source code, something you compile.
Enterprise Business Software and the Mixed-Up Chameleon Problem (opens on the source site)
Palantir ·
Editor’s Note: This blog post was written by Greg Little, Senior Counselor at Palantir, with Aaron Jaffe, Senior Vice President at Palantir. Over 10 years of implementing Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems, I remember one project where the CFO stopped the room cold. It was 11:30 at night during a mock cutover. People were exhausted manually fixing mapping issues that “should” have been automated. The CFO looked up, rubbed his face, and said, “Tell me again why we’re changing everything we do just to keep this system happy?” It was a fair question. From the very first ERP project I…
ESP32 time bootstrap problem (opens on the source site)
The past couple of weeks, I've been working with an ESP32 chip. I'm making experiments at this moment: my goal is to find out if these chips are good enough now. Many years ago I started with ESP8266 chips and they were clearly not: they were so resource-limited that they could not do TLS (and by extension, HTTPS). Any interesting use-case requires a server reachable over the internet, the lack of secure communication disqualified that chip. But the ESP32 (especially the C6 variant that is RISC-V, meaning the compilers work with it out of the box) seems like a good chip. It is powerful enough…
Netflix’s VOID: Fixing the Physics Problem in Video Editing (opens on the source site)
There’s a familiar trick in modern video editing with AI – taking an object out, slapping some new background in, – and calling it good. It does the trick for simple things, but it all falls apart the moment the object actually starts to move or interact with anything. Take a domino chain for example, […] The post Netflix’s VOID: Fixing the Physics Problem in Video Editing appeared first on RisingStack Engineering.
Nonsensical Maven is still a Gradle problem (opens on the source site)
There was a time when I used Maven heavily, but today all the libraries I work on build with Gradle. Even though I'm publishing with Gradle, consumers can use Gradle, Maven, Bazel, jars in libs/ (but please don't), or anything else. That's a huge JVM ecosystem win! In general, I don't have to think about what build system someone is using. I'm not here to debate subjective pros and cons of one versus any other. There is one notable exception, however. Maven's dependency resolution strategy is objectively bonkers. And if we want to support Maven consumers, we need to think about it. If you…
The container throttling problem (opens on the source site)
Dan Luu ·
This is an excerpt from an internal document David Mackey and I co-authored in April 2019. The document is excerpted since much of the original doc was about comparing possible approaches to increasing efficency at Twitter, which is mostly information that's meaningless outside of Twitter without a large amount of additional explanation/context. At Twitter, most CPU bound services start falling over at around 50% reserved container CPU utilization and almost all services start falling over at not much more CPU utilization even though CPU bound services should, theoretically, be able to get…
The PGP problem (opens on the source site)
Latacora ·
Cryptography engineers have been tearing their hair out over PGP’s deficiencies for (literally) decades. When other kinds of engineers get wind of this, they’re shocked. PGP is bad? Why do people keep telling me to use PGP? The answer is that they shouldn’t be telling you that, because PGP is bad and needs to go away. There are, as you’re about to see, lots of problems with PGP. Fortunately, if you’re not morbidly curious, there’s a simple meta-problem with it: it was designed in the 1990s, before serious modern cryptography. No competent crypto engineer would design a system that looked like…
Responsive Components: a Solution to the Container Queries Problem (opens on the source site)
Container queries is a proposal that would allow web developers to style DOM elements based on the size of a containing element rather than the size of the browser viewport. If you’re a web developer, you’ve probably heard about container queries before. For about as long as we’ve had responsive web design, we’ve had developers asking for them (initially element queries, then changing to container queries). In fact, container queries may well be the most requested CSS feature ever that we still don’t have in browsers. There are already many, many, many posts explaining exactly why container…
