Ep 13: Everyone is winging it: Hope for an AI future

In this episode, we welcome Naomi Buckwalter, Sr. Director of Product Security at Contrast Security, to chat about the evolving landscape of security threats and the dual role of AI in both facilitating and combating these challenges. We explore the increasing sophistication of modern phishing attacks and discuss how security teams must rapidly adapt to stay ahead of emerging threats. We debate the transformative impact of AI on the future job market, where personal qualities and soft skills may increasingly take precedence over traditional technical competencies.

Building and deploying a Python MCP server with FastMCP and CircleCI

Extending Large Language Models (LLMs) with custom tools has become increasingly valuable in today’s AI landscape. Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers provide a standardized way to connect external tools and resources to LLMs. This can enhance their capabilities beyond basic text generation. While thousands of pre-built MCP servers exist, creating your own allows you to address specific workflows. You can implement use cases that off-the-shelf solutions cannot handle.

What is API-First Networking?

When you build your network with APIs at its core, you give your business a competitive edge. Here’s how to do it. Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) have become ubiquitous with modern networks for good reason. As companies use more service providers, endpoints, and software platforms, APIs help them get the most possible utility from their data with the least possible effort.

4 Best Hostinger Alternatives Worth Switching To

Web hosting providers serve different needs based on website requirements, budget constraints, and technical specifications. Hostinger has gained attention for its budget-friendly pricing, though some website owners seek alternatives for various operational reasons. The following four hosting providers offer distinct features and pricing structures that may align better with specific hosting needs.

Versatile Automation: Applications of AI Across Different Sectors

From small and medium-sized enterprises to larger corporations, virtually all industries are asking their staff to work faster, do more with less, and keep up with an ever-increasing amount of work, accelerated timelines, repetitive or manual tasks, complex systems and data-intensive workloads in the digital age. The result? Oftentimes higher profits, but with greater risks of stress, frustration, and even lower quality customer service.

Automated RAG pipeline evaluation and benchmarking with RAGAS

Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipelines have become an integral part of how Large Language Models (LLMs) access information beyond their training cutoff. These pipelines enable LLMs to deliver current, accurate, and grounded responses. By fetching relevant external documents, RAG mitigates common LLM challenges like factual inaccuracies and hallucinations. However, this methodology introduces a new complexity: evaluating RAG pipeline performance is particularly challenging.

LLM Observability Explained: Prevent Hallucinations, Manage Drift, Control Costs

Large Language Models (LLMs) are transforming how businesses interact with users, automate workflows, and deliver insights in real time. But as powerful as these models are, running them at scale comes with unique challenges, from hallucinations and latency spikes to cost overruns and user trust issues.
