We split our work: * Specification extraction. We have security.md and policy.md, often per module. Threat model, mechanisms, etc. This is collaborative and gets checked in for ourselves and the AI. Policy is often tricky & malleable pr

In our evals for answering cybersecurity incident investigation questions and even autonomously doing the full investigation, gpt-5.2-codex with low reasoning was the clear winner over non-codex or higher reasoning. 2X+ faster, higher compl

My intuition is it comes down to error-correcting codes. We're dealing with lossy systems that get off track, so including parity bits helps. Ex: <message>...</message> helps keep track. Even better? <message78>.

This feels right in theory and wrong in practice When measuring speed running blue team CTFs ("Breaking BOTS" talk at Chaos Congress), I saw about a ~2x difference in speed (~= tokens) for a database usage between curl (~skills) v

Bandwidth-wise, it's fun when you have a storage array instead of just 1 nvme. Then you can saturate the pcies, and go beyond what's cost effective on ram. Interesting to think of this as opening the door to 10-100T MoEs..

Interesting, a lot of this is consistent with our experience! We've been adding linters, including semantic analysis, in various ai talk2db connectors in loiue.ai that help steer better than normal thin MCPs enable. We've been hav

Performance. Our code looks like pure pandas (fancier SQL) wrapped as HTTP service (arrow instead of json), so the expressivity is more of a step backwards. We already did the work of turning awkward irregular code into relational pipelines

For graphistry at least, I care less about the surface syntax (async/await) and more about getting gpu-side work stealing, dynamic task scheduling, etc. Our code is written at such a much higher level that these are primitives needed b

We have been curious about this for rapids cudf. We built the graphistry stack 10 years ago (!) for GPU native end-to-end acceleration - data loading, wrangling, analytics, enrichment, viz, etc, all the way server GPUs to client GPUs - but

Pass as immutable values, and try to enforce schema (eg, arrow) to keep typed & predictable. This is generally easy by ensuring initial data loads get validated, and then basic testing of subsequent operations goes far. If python had de

I don't know at these scales, but at the 1M-100M, we found switching from out-of-box embeddings to fine-tuning our embeddings gave less of a sting in the compression/recall trade-off . We had a 10-100X win here wrt comparable reca
