  1. Building a Native LLM Inference Engine

    From Raw Model Weights to High-Performance C++20 and CUDA ExecutionModern large language models are only as efficient as the systems that execute them. Behind every generated token lies a complex interaction between model architecture, memory bandwidth, numerical precision, parallel computation, kernel execution, and runtime orchestration. Understanding these interactions is essential for engineers who want to move beyond high-level inference frameworks and build systems whose performance, architecture, and execution behavior they can control directly.

  4. Life and AI
    Life and AI
    Understanding Intelligence in Biology and Models
    Victor Jaravine

    Life and AI are made of different stuff, yet they face many of the same problems. This book sets their solutions side by side, from the first cells to today's language models, to understand both.

  5. Supply Chain Security for Solo Builders
    Supply Chain Security for Solo Builders
    Protect Your Dependencies, Secret and Deployment, Even when AI Pick the Packages.
    Kristian Reformis

    Your app is mostly other people's code. You chose a few packages, and those packages pulled in dozens more. Your AI coding agent installs whatever makes the demo work. Your secrets sit in files you will one day share. Your server has not been updated in months. None of this means you failed. It means you build alone, with no security team and no reviewer. This book gives you a realistic, low-cost routine to reduce supply chain risk in a small project, including the risks your AI coding agent introduces. In one weekend plus thirty minutes a month, you will learn to: - map what you actually ship, from direct packages to hidden transitive ones;- vet a new package in five minutes before you install it;- update safely, one small reversible step at a time;- read scanner reports without panic and without ignoring them;- keep secrets out of your code and rotate them when they leak;- protect your code host, registry, and cloud accounts;- run a minimal build pipeline and a boring, updated small server;- keep your AI coding agent leashed with permissions and rules files;- recover calmly from a compromised package, a leaked key, or a hijacked account. You will not become a security expert. You will become a solo builder with a written inventory, safer accounts, tested backups, and a monthly routine you can sustain for years. Most existing books on this topic target large companies, Kubernetes, and enterprise CI/CD. This one is for one person with limited time. It says what to do first, what to skip, and what is overkill. No setup is risk-free, and this book promises none. It promises fewer easy failures and faster recovery.
