AI & LLMs·Aug 5, 2026· 6 minSlopsquatting: How AI Hallucinations Open the Door to Supply Chain AttacksThis post explains how attackers exploit AI-generated package name hallucinations to launch supply chain attacks, a technique called slopsquatting. It details how this threat differs from typosquatting, why AI assistants increase risk, and practical steps developers and teams can take to defend against these new attacks.#supply chain security#ai coding assistants 2 0
AI & LLMs·Aug 4, 2026· 7 minWhy Your RAG System Doesn't Need a Better LLM—It Needs Better RetrievalUpgrading your LLM won't fix a Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) system if the retrieval pipeline is flawed. This post breaks down common retrieval pitfalls—like poor chunking, missing metadata, and weak reranking—and offers practical tips to boost answer quality without chasing bigger models.#rag#retrieval 3 0
AI & LLMs·Aug 2, 2026· 4 minWhy I Didn't Build My AI Application with Spring AI (Yet)Spring AI is evolving rapidly, but today's AI ecosystem is still far more mature in Python, with richer frameworks, documentation, and community support. This article explains why I chose to learn the underlying AI concepts the long way instead of relying on higher-level abstractions—and how that decision made me a better AI engineer.#spring ai#python 5 0
AI & LLMs·Aug 1, 2026· 4 minBuilding a Production-Ready RAG Application: Choosing the Right Models & ParametersLearn how to build a simple yet effective Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) application by selecting the right embedding model, vector database, retriever settings, and LLM parameters. This guide focuses on practical defaults and the reasoning behind them, helping you avoid common pitfalls from the start.#rag#langchain 4 0
