Now, these aren’t “caused” by AI; I’m not referring to hoaxes that people have used AI specifically to spread, but things that AI has made worse by the ease with which fake … Read more

Large Language Models (LLMs) are incredibly powerful generalists, but transforming them into specialized experts is a major challenge. The process of training a model on new, specific knowledge like internal company documents or a complex reasoning task is notoriously expensive, time-consuming, and fraught with pitfalls. We want smaller, more efficient models that can master a … Read more

Key Takeaways Every line of code carries an invisible cost. As software scales, so does the energy it consumes and the emissions it generates. This growing footprint forms what many engineers now call carbon debt: the accumulation of energy waste caused by inefficient architecture, redundant compute, or neglected cleanup. The problem isn’t limited to theory … Read more

Modern software engineering is collaborative, and based on reusing Open Source software. That exposes targets to supply chain attacks, where software projects are attacked by compromising their dependencies. Despite any process or technical measure, every dependency is unavoidably a trust relationship. However, the Go tooling and design help mitigate risk at various stages. All builds … Read more
