System Architecture

Recently, I’ve thinking about where I want to focus my angel investing in 2024, and decided to document my thinking about value accumulation in artificial intelligence because it explains the shape of my interest–or lack thereof–in investing in artificial intelligence tooling. I’ll describe my understanding of the current state, how I think it’ll evolve over the next 1-3 years, and then end with how that shapes what I’m investing in.

Small electric vehicles, motor controllers, robots, flying things, and other fun electromechanical stuff!

The milestones for expanding the domain crate, our Rust library serving as building blocks to develop DNS tooling.

This document defines DHCPv6 options so that a Homenet Naming Authority (HNA) can automatically set the appropriate configuration and outsource the authoritative naming service for the home network. In most cases, the outsourcing mechanism is transparent for the end user.

Home network owners may have devices or services hosted on their home network that they wish to access from the Internet (i.e., from a network outside of the home network). Home networks are increasingly numbered using IPv6 addresses, which in principle makes this access simpler, but accessing home networks from the Internet requires the names and IP addresses of these devices and services to be made available in the public DNS. This document describes how a Home Naming Authority (NHA) instructs the outsourced infrastructure to publish these pieces of information in the public DNS. The names and IP addresses of the home network are set in the Public Homenet Zone by the Homenet Naming Authority (HNA), which in turn instructs an outsourced infrastructure to publish the zone on behalf of the home network owner.

David Eastman takes a look at Zig, perhaps 'the new C'. It's a low level language that gets developers closer to the metal, in a modern way.

Redefining the programming landscape. This innovative platform introduces a groundbreaking natural language programming language, integrated seamlessly with an AI-powered architecture. GENplus is designed for everyone, from seasoned developers to coding novices, making software creation more intuitive, efficient, and accessible than ever before.

Lisp projects might be smaller and neater that other tech. But still, there are emergent patterns in any software.So here's an arbitrary list of design patterns I found in Lisp codebases.

The open source project Extism is designed to enable software end users to enhance existing applications, adding extensibility through Wasm-based plug-ins.

Creating standalone Linux applications with lone.

Default monolithic apps are often phased out in favor of decoupled and containerized microservices architectures, but what if you built one with intention?

We dig into the technology behind Perplexity’s Copilot, which was inspired by the FreshLLMs paper that proposed search engine-augmented LLMs.

Knowledge exploration and discovery with Semantic Graphs and RAG

In the software world, we don’t have as many complicated terms as there are in biology, but we aren’t completely immune to giving complex-sounding names to what should be simple concepts – some of us even enjoy getting pedantic about them. Here are some of my favorites, with examples in JavaScript…

The event loop, busy-waiting, threads and waiting in lines. A real-life tale from waiting in lines at the stores.

By William Woodruff For the past eight months, Trail of Bits has worked with the Python Cryptographic Authority to build cryptography-x509-verification, a brand-new, pure-Rust implementation of the…
