I finally started a new blog, thanks to the offer of @ratsclub to give me free access to capivaras.dev. But considering how small this blog platform is supposed to be, I want to have at least somewhere to have a backup of my posts.

TL;DR: A world first reverse engineering analysis of AWS Session Tokens. Prior to our research these tokens were a complete black box. Today, we are making it more of glass box, by sharing code and tools to programmatically analyze and modify AWS Session Tokens. Using this code we were able to take a seminal deep lo...

Vector search queries for huge datasets of large embeddings for retrieval-augmented generation require approximate nearest neighbor (ANN) search to meet the scale, as discussed in the previous blog post on RAG and vector search. Today, we will explore how we implemented the DiskANN algorithm in the libSQL to meet th...

I recently started a new side project writing an IPC library in Go for Hyprland, a Window Manager for Wayland. Once I got past the Work-in-Progress phase, I realise I had an issue: I wrote some tests, but I was running then inside my system running Hyprland. And the tests themselves were annoying: since they send co...

Negative space programming is a concept that embraces the art of defining a program by what it should not do, rather than what it should. This approach allows developers to create more robust and error-resistant code. Let’s dive into how this concept can be applied and explore its benefits. The Concept of Negative S...
