Chrome Installed 4 GB of AI on My Machine Without Asking: I Inspected What It's Actually Doing and I Don't Like What I Found

Chrome Installed 4 GB of AI on My Machine Without Asking: I Inspected What It's Actually Doing and I Don't Like What I Found Why does Google assume 4 GB of your storage belongs to them? I'd been asking myself that for weeks every time I saw the same Chrome process lit up in the Activity Monitor. Today I opened it. And what I found changed my position on something I was genuinely, enthus...

Building Fault-Tolerant Financial Systems Using Resilience Patterns

Financial systems must operate with a high degree of reliability. Even short periods of downtime or failure can result in significant financial loss, operational disruption, and loss of user trust. As modern systems move toward distributed microservices architectures, ensuring fault tolerance becomes both more challenging and more critical. Resilience patterns provide a structured approach to buil...

Chrome instaló 4 GB de IA en mi máquina sin pedirme permiso: inspeccioné qué hace realmente y no me gusta lo que encontré

Chrome instaló 4 GB de IA en mi máquina sin pedirme permiso: inspeccioné qué hace realmente y no me gusta lo que encontré ¿Por qué Google asume que 4 GB del almacenamiento de tu máquina le pertenecen? Llevaba semanas preguntándomelo cada vez que veía el mismo proceso de Chrome prendido en el monitor de actividad. Hoy lo abrí. Y lo que encontré me cambió la postura sobre algo que, hace n...

Beyond 'Is It Intelligent?': A 5-Layer Framework for Understanding What LLMs Actually Do

The question "do large language models have intelligence?" has become the most polarizing debate in AI. One camp points to emergent reasoning abilities as proof of genuine intelligence. The other dismisses it all as statistical parroting. Both sides talk past each other because they're answering different questions. After a structured multi-perspective analysis—combining empirical evidence, mecha...

Your Team Is One PTO Away from Missing the Quarter

Monday morning, one engineer was out on PTO and three separate workstreams were already blocked before lunch. Slack filled with "quick question" pings nobody else could answer, and standup turned into a scavenger hunt for missing context. By Wednesday, it was obvious we did not have a throughput problem ... we had built a system that stored critical knowledge in one person. Most leadership teams ...

Security Audit Finds RCE Risks in 6.2% of MCP Servers

We audited over 2,000 open-source Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers and found that 6.2% contain critical architectural flaws. Developers are exposing dangerous tools like subprocess.run and raw SQL executors directly to LLMs without Human-in-the-Loop (HitL) confirmations. This turns a simple prompt injection into a full host Remote Code Execution (RCE) or database wipe. It's time to shift from ...

Day-2 of learning Python | Exploring Python Shell and Module Reloading

While learning python today, I spent some time understanding how the Python shell works and how modules behave inside it. The Python shell (or REPL) is basically an interactive environment where you can run code line-by-line. It's super useful when you just want to test something quickly instead of running a full script every time. While experimenting, I tried something interesting. I created a ...

Scync — open-source, zero-knowledge secrets manager for developers (MIT)

Scync — a zero-knowledge secrets manager for individual developers. Why I built it: I had API keys in .env files, Notion, Slack DMs, and screenshots. Bitwarden is great for passwords but awkward for API keys ( I dont like its UI much too 😉 ). Vault needs a dedicated server. I wanted something personal, encrypted, and actually pleasant to use. What it does: - E2E encrypted with AES-256-GCM (Web Cry...
