Your RAG answered correctly yesterday. Today, it contradicts itself. Nothing obvious changed — except the index. Retrieval drift is silent, cumulative, and rarely audited. This piece explains how to make it observable and reproducible - what must be versioned beyond vectors, how to enable point-in-time reconstruction, and when lightweight metadata is enough. Includes practical tracing patterns, replay strategies, and a risk-based decision g..

NVIDIA artificially restricts peer-to-peer (P2P) GPU communication to their enterprise cards. Turns out this is a software limitation, not a hardware one. I patched my drivers to remove it, hacked vLLM to take advantage of it, and got a 15-50% throughput improvement running Qwen 3.5 35b on dual RTX 3090s.
