AI is starting to feel less like a buzzword in cybersecurity and more like a practical tool. In the last couple of years, organizations worldwide have started actually deploying AI and machine learning to combat cyber threats. Surveys show about 64% of organizations now use AI for threat detection as part of their security strategy. […] The post Real-World Applications of AI in Cybersecurity appeared first on RisingStack Engineering .

I’ve been using git status for quite a long time now. Let’s make it better. My old aliases : My ~/.gitconfig has had: [alias] s = status d = diff l = log --show-signature for as long as I can remember. They’ve served me well. The problem : In one of my projects , I occasionally have a bunch of untracked files, particularly when I’m hacking on something new that isn’t committed yet. This may include ..

A little over a year ago, I wrote about some formative experiences I had with computers early in my life. That article focused on the Timex Sinclair 1000 , but sitting off in the wings are two other computers - the Commodore 64 and the Apple II . A few weeks ago, there was some dialog between John Gruber , Drew Saur , and Jason Snell that's brought those two machines back to mind. It's all very worth reading if you have any inte....

I just finished Nana Visitor’s book. What a fascinating read. Looking at Star Trek from a woman’s perspective, both Visitor’s, and the many women she interviewed. It’s a book I actually wish was about five times thicker: you can feel the hours of interview that -didn’t- make the pages. I would have loved to hear more from many of the women she talked to. It’s a hopeful book, though I did learn about Visitors traumatic sexual assault v..

Imagine my shock and surprise to discover that when I submit resumes now, I quickly see LLM research agents in my access logs pouring over my portfolio page . As time moves ever forward, I suspect I’ll be dealing with AI agents more frequently, especially in the job market. I’m not thrilled about this, but I can’t do anything about it - so, if you can’t beat them, join them. My website is already fairly straight-forward HTML and CSS,..

I love 3D printing. Out of all the tech hype cycles and trends over the last decade, this one is genuinely useful. There’s simply something magical about being able to design or download a model from the internet, send it to a machine, and after a few hours you get an actual physical object in return! I don’t own a 3D printer myself, but I’ve had access to people who are happy to help out by printing something for me. So far I’ve ....

There’s something icky about LLM-generated text when you think it’s written by a human. I think I finally put my finger on one reason why I feel this way. Note on the title: “Artificial Inanity” comes from Neal Stephenson’s novel Anathem . At work I was sent a long design document and asked for my thoughts on it. As I read, I had a really hard time following it. Eventually I guessed correctly (confirmed via a follow-up conversation....

As a leader in computer performance I've been asked by companies about how (and why) to form a performance engineering team, and as this is broadly useful I'll share my advice here. Large tech companies in the US hire performance engineers (under that or other titles) to ensure that infrastructure costs and service latency don't grow too high, and that their service is reliable under peak load. A new performance team can likely find enou....

In a world where intelligence is too cheap to meter, is the generic chat box the final UI? I argue that the best products of this generation will go deeper, and reset the frame entirely on workflows.
