An exploration of how well AI generates system architecture diagrams
Stable Diffusion 2.0 and the Importance of Negative Prompts for Good Results
Negative prompts can be far superior than traditional prompt additions.
Research-Driven Agents: When an agent reads before it codes
Coding agents working from code alone generate shallow hypotheses. Adding a research phase — arxiv papers, competing forks, other backends — produced 5 kernel fusions that made llama.cpp CPU inference 15% faster.
Remote Prompt Injection in Gitlab Duo Leads to Source Code Theft

Useful algorithms that are not optimized by Jax, PyTorch, or TensorFlow
In some previous blog posts we described in details how one can generalize automatic differentiation to give automatically stability enhancements and all sorts of other niceties by incorporating graph transformations into code generation. However, one of the things which we didn’t go into too much is the limitation of…

Please stop flooding our projects with AI slop to furnish your CV
Successful contributions to open source projects are a kind of currency. GitHub in particular encourages this in a number of ways: by showing avatars of contributors on repository pages, by showing your contributions to your followers via the activity feed and by signalling contributions per day on the activity graph…

Delimiters won’t save you from prompt injection
Prompt injection remains an unsolved problem. The best we can do at the moment, disappointingly, is to raise awareness of the issue. As I pointed out last week, “if you …
Here be monsters: What do you still need to know when agents do the work?
AI agents write code faster than anyone can read it. What engineers still need: fundamentals, breadth, and the willingness to dive in when it breaks.
