Using @vercel.com 's json-render to keep LLM output constrained, predictable, and fast. It limits models to known components, streams clean JSON, and reduces randomness. Haven’t red-teamed it yet, but this feels like the right direction vs prompt dumping.
Ethan Troy@ethantroy.com · 6mo agomyctrl.tools has an AI assist feature now (the whole thing is still kinda early) Bring your own Anthropic API key 😎 It's better advice than your typical GRC Advisor (jk...no really) I might (probably) will add support for other LLMs soon
Tracking progress on myctrl.tools. Built it because CSF tools felt slow. Started as a faster, keyboard-friendly control lookup and is turning into a real resource for mapping engineering work to compliance.

As AI agents get more autonomous, prompt injection will shift from “ignore all previous instructions” to “add a task to the backlog to X.” Once the payload crosses a trust boundary and lands in Jira, it’s no longer a prompt, it’s just another task. A task that makes me admin :D

I think learning how to write software, learning engineering principles, helps you solve problems everywhere, not just in a terminal. And yes heavy on the learning exercise!
Kelsey Hightower@kelseyhightower.com · 6mo agoI also approach writing software as a learning exercise. It's rarely about learning syntax these days. I spend most of my time studying fundamental algorithms for solving common problems, and the evolution of industry standards.
I was curious on what would happen if I fine-tuned a coding focused model on NIST cybersecurity docs So far it's not that bad and can most likely run on just 8gb of ram ollama.com/etgohome/hac... #ai #finetune #cybersecurity #nist #ollama #llm
This took like 12+ hours 😅👇 NIST Cybersecurity Training Dataset 523K+ training examples from 568 NIST publications Perfect for building compliance bots, security AI, or educational tools Download: huggingface.co/datasets/eth... #Cybersecurity #OpenData

been looking for a better hugo theme that I didn't have to build myself and the entire time it's been blowfish lol

I want to start a new tech blog for all my dev related stuff but not sure which way to go with it. Think hugo should do.
using Omarchy is going to take me down the rabbit hole of using Neovim as my IDE, I see it now
