System Architecture

RAG Retrieves, It Never Remembers. A vendor-neutral blueprint for applications that accumulate understanding. Includes a complete Azure-native implementation (Microsoft Foundry, Azure AI Search, Cosmos DB, FastAPI) mapped to a property-insurance corpus.

Why retrieval quality should be a property of the system, not of the question's wording? Rebuilding knowledge layer with graph traversal on every query, bitemporal edges, and two-threshold entity resolution.

Publish for humans, not for crawlers. A web font that swaps the words in your HTML, so readers see your writing and AI training gets a stale copy.

Once upon a time, telephones were primarily point-to-point communications systems. There were options for three-way and conference calls out there, but by and large the plain old telephone system w…

These days, it is easy to think you always have access to the Internet. But some wonder if — in spite of its ARPANET, nuclear-war-planning heritage — you can actually count on it to be …

China's GPMI cable standard delivers 192Gbps bandwidth and 480W power, challenging Western dominance with capabilities that far exceed HDMI, DisplayPort, and USB-C.

The new standard could eventually replace all existing A/V and computing cables.

How Deadworks delivers server-driven, interactive Panorama UI to unmodified Deadlock clients by tunnelling a compact UI instruction set through the closed-caption system.

Document your software architecture with the C4 model. AI-powered discovery, interactive diagrams, Architecture as Code (YAML DSL), organization collaboration, and Architecture Decision Records.

Quantum computing will reshape encryption, but not overnight, and a disciplined, phased approach lets organizations modernize cryptographic foundations without disruption while strengthening security today.

Buf is proud to announce the first fully-featured, production-grade LSP server for Protobuf. The Language Server Protocol is the standard API for integrating language support into your favorite IDE or text editor, such as VSCode, IntelliJ, or Neovim. An LSP server provides the smarts that power go to definition, code completion, finding references, and semantics-aware syntax highlighting.

Rasputin's firewall runs snort3 in tap mode on the WAN interface: it raises alerts and it never drops a packet, and action=alert in /etc/config/snort is what enforces that rather than a feature still in the queue. Plus the four config defaults that bit on the first hardware bring-up — a ruleset URL that names a snort version and not a rule syntax, a package template that disables the log the agent reads, a timestamp with the year on the front, and a home_net pointing at a network we don't tap.

The blank canvas is a lie: your architecture is already written down in Structurizr files, Terraform modules, Mermaid diagrams and README files. Connect an AI agent to Archyl's MCP server and turn all of it into a living C4 model — without redrawing a single box.

Running an LLM on an $8 ESP32 microcontroller requires extreme memory optimization. Engineers compressed a 28.9M parameter model to just 14.9MB.

Robust Open Online Safety Tools or ROOST is a non-profit entity designed to address the urgent need for accessible, high-quality safety tools in the rapidly evolving digital landscape.

Coop is an open source review tool that enables organizations of all sizes to implement scaled review and automated safety solutions.

OWASP CycloneDX is a full-stack Bill of Materials (BOM) standard that provides advanced supply chain capabilities for cyber risk reduction. The specification supports Software Bill of Materials (SBOM), Software-as-a-Service Bill of Materials (SaaSBOM), Hardware Bill of Materials (HBOM), Operations Bill of Materials (OBOM), Vulnerability Disclosure Reports (VDR), and Vulnerability Exploitability eXchange (VEX).
