  • Rust Isn’t a Trend—It’s a Rebuke of C’s Security Debt

    Rust Isn’t a Trend—It’s a Rebuke of C’s Security Debt

    Why are chipmakers suddenly flirting with Rust? For decades, C has been the undisputed king of embedded firmware. It runs your car’s ECU, your Wi-Fi router, your pacemaker. It’s fast, predictable, and dangerously trusting. Now, industrial players—from hyperscalers designing their own silicon to microcontroller vendors shipping new SDKs—are experimenting with Rust. That’s not a fad.…

  • AI’s Real Bottleneck Isn’t the Model — It’s Our Sloppy State Management

    AI’s Real Bottleneck Isn’t the Model — It’s Our Sloppy State Management

    What’s the quiet bottleneck in modern AI systems? It’s not the model. It’s not the GPU. It’s memory churn. We’re building LLM agents that juggle tool calls, context windows, message histories, retrieval results, and multi-step plans — and we’re still wiring them together with mutable dictionaries and ad hoc state objects. That’s a mistake. Persistent…
