389 Tests Passed. NIST Still Caught the Bug.

I gave an AI agent a calculator because I wanted one hard, inspectable point inside a probabilistic workflow. The model could interpret the request and explain the result. The calculator would perform the computation. It seemed like a clean division of labor. Then I changed one multiplication sign into addition. The calculator still passed 389 of the 390 tests in its Rust library harness. The sole failure compared its answer with NIST's certified results for the Longley regression dataset. That bothered me more than a completely broken build would have. I had treated deterministic computation as safer than asking a language model to improvise arithmetic. But deterministic does not mean trustworthy. A program can return the same wrong answer forever. “Source of truth” suddenly felt too comfortable. Before an AI agent delegates authority to a tool, that authority should be challenged—and remain revocable by evidence. The calculator is only the specimen. The larger idea is a way to place inspectable, replayable instruments inside probabilistic systems. The useful boundary is generation versus execution The interesting distinction is not model weights versus a “real CPU.” Model inference also runs on processors, and language models can learn genuine arithmetic procedures. The useful boundary is between generating an answer and executing a defined operation under a tested contract . Research on Program-Aided Language Models (PAL) makes a related split: the language model reads and decomposes a natural-language problem, while a runtime such as a Python interpreter executes the generated program. The model contributes flexible interpretation; the runtime contributes executable semantics. That is the division I want in an agent: At the semantic edge , the model interprets the request, chooses a procedure, identifies relevant quantities, and explains the result. At the computational edge , a narrow tool validates inputs, applies specified operations, enforces limits, and ret

Building an Operating System In Rust Part 1

Building an operating system is a project I have had my eyes set on ever since I discovered free will in the realm of programming. Years ago, I did a reasonable amount of research, paying extra attention to the subject during my computer science degree and I was able to understand Operating System Theory and how it works from first principles but I never really got around to building one. I had only flimsy reasons for not embarking on it like "why build one when there are tons of working ones out there? The theoretical knowledge is enough" . More recently, I am ignoring the need to not re-invent the wheel for the joy of programming. So if you are interested in also rebuilding stuff because you can, join me on this series as I document how I am going to be building kluster. kluster is in its infancy and the direction is not clear but the one certain thing is that I will be building it entirely in Rust, save some assembly instructions and a linker script and I will be explaining every single line of code along the way. It will also be designed to target the raspberrypi 4 & 5, on qemu and on real hardware respectively. This is an opportunity for anyone who wants to see how Rust works at the lowest of levels to hop on and join the ride. Note that this series will be your biggest lesson on delayed gratification because we will write a lot of code before we even get to see anything meaningful on screen but I will foreshadow what you can get by the end of part 3 if you are patient enough: {{ image(src="/images/os-part3-result.png", alt="Part 3 Results OS Dev") }} You can also clone the source code for part 1 from Github and follow along. Project Setup First things first, let us setup the foundation of the project. I'll be straight with you, I love Rust and I enjoy using the Rust ecosystem in its entirety so I will stay true to that and use it as obsessively as any true Rustacean; I won't hold back. Without doubt, all the dependencies we need are freely available as long as

I built Skim: a free open-source Email client for Windows with BYOK AI (MIT)

I built Skim because I tried to find a Windows email client that doesn't suck that hard and couldn't really find one. It's not rocket science to vibecode one, right? Why has nobody done it before? Or is everyone just okay with bloated Outlook or archaic Thunderbird? Skim - free, open-source, MIT-licensed minimalistic offline-first email client with BYOK AI. Quick feature list: Installer under 5 MB Bring Your Own Key to enable AI features: Anthropic/OpenRouter, or any OpenAI-compatible server (including a local one) No menu. Minimalistic and contextual interface - buttons are shown only when you need them Keyboard-first controls: shortcuts for everything, no mouse needed Sweet warm zine design Super modest resource consumption AI features are pretty basic: Cowriter that can scan your recently sent emails, adopt your style, and then write emails and replies that sound like you "Ask this email" - chat with a particular email; it can read attachments and follow links inside it Agentic search across all connected inboxes; the "Ask your inbox" feature can scan your whole inbox One-click summarization and translation A few things I'm actually proud of under the hood The UI part is easy to vibecode. These bits were not. Getting the installer under 5 MB took real work. panic = "abort" alone dropped about 6 MB of unwind tables from the binary, that's 23% off the NSIS installer. I ship a single crypto backend (ring, with aws-lc-rs switched off) so I'm not compiling a second, unused crypto library into the thing. I even wrote a tiny Vite plugin that deletes legacy .woff fonts, since WebView2 always uses woff2 anyway. Pretty much every dependency in Cargo.toml carries a comment justifying its feature flags in kilobytes saved: rustls = { version = "0.23" , default-features = false , features = [ "ring" ] } # aws-lc-rs would compile a second, unused crypto library. ~2 MB of dead weight. No Electron, no bundled Chromium. Tauri 2 uses the system WebView2, so it installs per-user wit

Why I Chose Slot Hashes Over VRF for Fair Random Selection on Solana

When I set out to build a provably-fair random selection system on Solana, the obvious choice for randomness was a VRF (Verifiable Random Function). Instead, I built the system around Solana's SlotHashes sysvar with a commit-reveal scheme. Here's why, and what I gave up to get there. The problem A fair-selection system needs a winner (or set of winners) chosen in a way that's fair, and just as important that participants can check for themselves without taking anyone's word for it. VRF services (Switchboard, ORAO, etc.) solve the fairness part well: they produce randomness that's unpredictable in advance and cryptographically provable after the fact. But they come with a dependency on an oracle, a fee per request, and a proof that most users will never actually verify they'll trust it because the crypto math says they can, not because they did. I wanted something a participant with no crypto background could check in a browser console. The approach: commit-reveal with slot hashes The core idea: commit to the participant list before you know the randomness, then derive the randomness from a slot hash you couldn't have predicted at commit time. rust fn derive_randomness(target_hash: &[u8; 32], participant_root: &[u8; 32]) -> [u8; 32] { let mut combined_seed = [0u8; 64]; combined_seed[..32].copy_from_slice(target_hash); // slot hash at reveal combined_seed[32..].copy_from_slice(participant_root); // Merkle root, locked at commit solana_keccak_hasher::hash(&combined_seed).to_bytes() } The flow: Commit: participant list is finalized and hashed into a Merkle root; this is written on-chain. Wait: a target slot in the future is chosen as the reveal point. Reveal: once that slot passes, its hash is pulled from SlotHashes and combined with the committed root to derive the randomness. Select: the randomness deterministically picks winners from the participant set; winners get their own Merkle root and proofs. Every draw ends up with an audit record like: rust pub struct AuditR

Enterprise architects: your overdue Entra decision is an agent CSA schema

If you are an enterprise architect working on Microsoft Entra and AI agents, your first overdue job is not another policy wizard, another dashboard, or another governance steering committee. It is schema design. Specifically, it is deciding how you classify non-human identities with custom security attributes in Microsoft Entra . Not eventually. Up front. I keep seeing the same pattern across customers of every size: teams move quickly on agent experimentation, they onboard identities, they test controls, and then they realize they have no consistent attribute language for policy scope. At that point, every policy becomes a naming convention problem in disguise. That is backwards. The control plane starts with classification Custom security attributes are not decorative metadata. They are tenant-scoped key-value classifications you can assign to users, enterprise applications (service principals), and agent identities that are modeled as a service principal subtype, with dedicated role and permission boundaries for who can define and assign them ( overview , Graph model , agent identity service principal model ). That alone should change how architects think about them. This is not "nice to have taxonomy." This is policy input. Microsoft Entra Conditional Access for agents supports attribute-driven targeting with custom security attributes, and policy evaluation happens during token issuance and refresh, not just at policy authoring time ( Conditional Access for agents ). In other words: if your classification is sloppy, your runtime decisions are sloppy. Why agents raise the stakes You can say "an agent identity is still a service principal" and be technically correct. Microsoft Entra Agent ID is built on service principal infrastructure ( agent identities, service principals, and applications ). You can also miss the point. Agent identity introduces a blueprint-centered model where one blueprint can represent many agents, where blueprint-level policy decisions can

workflows: a host-agnostic Rust engine for agentic workflows (open source)

Workflows is a Rust library crate (not a hosted service; the crate name on crates.io/GitHub is tinyflows) that models an automation as a WorkflowGraph: a directed graph of typed nodes and edges. You build or generate that graph, it gets structurally validated, compiled into an opaque CompiledWorkflow, and lowered — once per run — onto tinyagents, a state-graph execution engine, via engine::run. model::WorkflowGraph -> validate -> compiler::compile -> engine::run (typed graph) (structural) (validated handle) (lowers onto tinyagents, drives to done) Run state is a single JSON value shaped like { "run": { "trigger": … }, "nodes": { "": { "items": [ … ] } } }. A merge reducer folds each node's output under its own id, so independent branches never collide — which is what keeps parallel fan-out deterministic. The node catalog Kind What it does trigger Entry node that starts the workflow (exactly one per graph); firing mode is host-driven agent Runs an LLM agent turn, with optional chat-model / memory / tool / output-parser sub-ports tool_call Invokes one specific integration action deterministically, no LLM involved http_request Outbound HTTP request code Sandboxed user code (JavaScript or Python) output_parser Parses/validates an upstream agent's output into a structured shape sub_workflow Runs another workflow as a nested sub-graph and returns its output condition Two-way IF, emits on true/false switch Multi-way branch keyed by an expression result merge Fan-in barrier — waits for every wired predecessor before running split_out Fan-out — emits one item per element of a list transform Pure, expression-based field mapping over the run state Data flows between nodes as arrays of items shaped { json, binary?, paired_item? } — closer to n8n's item-based model than a plain function-composition DAG — and node config can reference the run scope with =-prefixed expressions like =item.name. The part I actually want to talk about: host-agnosticism Every place this engine would n

Building a Decompiler Pipeline in Rust: Why Fission Separates NIR and HIR

Building a Decompiler Pipeline in Rust: Why Fission Separates NIR and HIR Decompiler output often looks simple from the outside. A binary goes in. Pseudocode comes out. But between those two points, a decompiler must recover several different kinds of information: instruction semantics register and memory effects control flow stack variables calling conventions data types expressions loops and conditionals readable source-like structure Trying to represent all of this in one intermediate representation quickly becomes difficult. While building Fission , a reverse-engineering and binary decompilation workspace written primarily in Rust, I decided to separate the decompiler pipeline into two main intermediate representations: NIR , a lower-level representation intended to preserve machine semantics HIR , a higher-level representation intended to express recovered, human-readable program structure This article explains why that separation exists, what each representation owns, and why it makes decompiler development easier to reason about. Correctness and readability want different things A decompiler has at least two responsibilities. First, it must preserve the behavior of the original machine code. Second, it must produce output that a human can understand. Those goals overlap, but they are not identical. Consider a simplified fragment of machine-level behavior: tmp0 = RAX tmp1 = tmp0 + 1 RAX = tmp1 flags = update_flags(tmp0, 1, tmp1) A human reader may prefer to see: rax ++ ; The concise form is easier to read, but it omits details that may still matter elsewhere in the pipeline. The flags update could affect a later conditional branch. The operation width may matter. The source and destination could alias. The operation may have originated from an instruction with additional side effects. If the decompiler converts everything into source-like syntax too early, it becomes easy to discard evidence. If it keeps everything at machine level until the final rendering st
