Guardians of the Agents 

A new static verification framework wants to make runtime safeguards look lazy. It slaps **mathematical safety proofs** onto LLM-generated workflows *before* they run—no more crossing fingers at execution time. The setup decouples **code from data**, then runs checks with tools like **CodeQL** and .. read more

LLM Evaluation: Practical Tips at Booking.com

Booking.com built Judge-LLM, a framework where strong LLMs evaluate other models against a carefully curated golden dataset. Clear metric definitions, rigorous annotation, and iterative prompt engineering make evaluations more scalable and consistent than relying solely on humans. **The takeaway**:.. read more

Introducing the MCP Registry

The new **Model Context Protocol (MCP) Registry** just dropped in preview. It’s a public, centralized hub for finding and sharing MCP servers—think phonebook, but for AI context APIs. It handles public and private subregistries, publishes OpenAPI specs so tooling can play nice, and bakes in communit.. read more

GitHub Copilot on autopilot as community complaints persist

GitHub's biggest debates right now? Whether to shut down AI-generated "noise" fromCopilot—stuff like auto-written issues and code reviews. No clear answers from GitHub yet. Frustration is piling up. Some devs are ditching the platform altogether, shifting their projects toCodebergor spinning upself-.. read more

Accelerate serverless testing with LocalStack integration in VS Code IDE

The AWS Toolkit for VS Code now hooks straight into **LocalStack**. Run full end-to-end tests for **serverless workflows**—Lambda, SQS, EventBridge, the whole crew—without bouncing between tools or writing boilerplate. Just deploy to LocalStack from the IDE using the **AWS SAM CLI**. It feels like .. read more

Writing an operating system kernel from scratch

A barebonestime-sharing OS kernel, written inZig, running onRISC-V. It leans onOpenSBIfor console I/O and timer interrupts. Threads? Statically allocated, each running inuser mode (U-mode). The kernel stays insupervisor mode (S-mode), where it catchessystem callsandcontext switchesvia timer ticks. .. read more

PostgreSQL maintenance without superuser

PostgreSQL’s moving in on superusers. As of recent releases—starting way back in v9.6 and maturing through PostgreSQL 18 (coming 2025)—there are now **15+ built-in admin roles**. No need to hand out superuser just to get things done. These roles cover the ops spectrum: monitoring, backups, fil.. read more

Magical systems thinking

AI now writes over **25% of Google’s** and as much as **90% of Anthropic’s** code. That’s not a trend—it’s a regime change. Still, the mess in large public systems reminds us: clever analysis isn’t enough. Complex systems don’t behave; they misbehave. When the machines are churning out code, the .. read more

Best 20 Linux Commands for Daily Use in Production Servers

A fresh roundup drops20 go-to Linux commandsfor production sysadmins, dialing in on modern defaults likehtop > top,ss > netstat, andip > ifconfig. The shift? Faster tools that actually get updates. Built with systemd in mind, too. Expect the usual suspects—journalctl,rsync,crontab—all still pulling.. read more  

Best 20 Linux Commands for Daily Use in Production Servers
Lustre is an open-source, parallel distributed file system built for high-performance computing environments that require extremely fast, large-scale data access. Designed to serve thousands of compute nodes concurrently, Lustre enables HPC clusters to read and write data at multi-terabyte-per-second speeds while maintaining low latency and fault tolerance.

A Lustre deployment separates metadata and file data into distinct services—Metadata Servers (MDS) handling namespace operations and Object Storage Servers (OSS) serving file contents stored across multiple Object Storage Targets (OSTs). This architecture allows clients to access data in parallel, achieving performance far beyond traditional network file systems.

Widely adopted in scientific computing, supercomputing centers, weather modeling, genomics, and large-scale AI training, Lustre remains a foundational component of modern HPC stacks. It integrates with resource managers like Slurm, supports POSIX semantics, and is designed to scale from small clusters to some of the world’s fastest supercomputers.

With strong community and enterprise support, Lustre provides a mature, battle-tested solution for workloads that demand extreme I/O performance, massive concurrency, and petabyte-scale distributed storage.
