Presentation: Exploding GPUs and the AI Infrastructure Challenge

Andrew Martin — Fri, 16 Oct 2026 11:00:00 GMT

Andrew Martin discusses why AI security is fundamentally tied to Kubernetes security. He shares insights into the evolving AI threat landscape, covering non-deterministic agent behavior, GPU supply chain vulnerabilities, shared compute risks, and practical defense strategies - from prompt firewalling to agentic identity - to help secure cloud-native AI workloads in production environments.

Article: Cryptographic Foundation of Mobile ID Systems: an ISO/IEC 18013-5 Enterprise Architecture Blueprint

Praveen Kumar Gopalakrishnan — Fri, 16 Oct 2026 09:00:00 GMT

This article provides a framework for asking the right architectural questions before an enterprise commits to an mDL provider or library. It shows which components can be abstracted safely, which trust boundaries must remain visible to the enterprise, what cryptographic and interoperability properties should be verified, and how requirements change across real-world use cases.

Presentation: What 25 Trillion Tokens Reveal about How Developers Actually Adopt AI Agents

Brendan O’Leary — Thu, 15 Oct 2026 11:00:00 GMT

Brendan O'Leary discusses how real-world AI adoption depends on building trust rather than chasing model benchmarks. Drawing from 40 trillion tokens of usage data, he explains the four rungs of the AI adoption ladder and analyzes key failure points in context construction, multi-model routing, and feedback loops to help engineering leaders successfully scale agentic workflows.

Presentation: How to Find Resilience Bugs in Systems that Don't Exist

Hillel Wayne — Wed, 14 Oct 2026 11:00:00 GMT

Hillel Wayne discusses how formal methods principles - such as property strength, state-space verification, and environment assumptions - help software engineers uncover critical architectural bugs early. He shares practical mental models like "adversarial non-determinism" to reason about concurrency, edge cases, and distributed system failures without needing complex mathematical tools.

Presentation: How Eve Online Leverages Head Based Sampling to Observe "Fun"

Nicholas Herring — Tue, 13 Oct 2026 11:00:00 GMT

Nicholas Herring shares how EVE Online tackles distributed tracing and observability across a 20-year-old MMO architecture. He discusses leveraging head-based, dynamic exponential moving average (EMA), and deterministic sampling techniques to maintain high system fidelity, control telemetry costs, and avoid performance degradation under high-throughput real-time game simulations.

Presentation: You Can't Trust Your AI Bill. And Neither Can I

Erik Peterson — Mon, 12 Oct 2026 11:00:00 GMT

Erik Peterson discusses why AI spend is eclipsing cloud bills, triggering a major software engineering cost crisis. He explains tokenmaxxing, unit economics, forced developer promotions, and why fully autonomous AI will write, deploy, and govern code by 2028.

Presentation: Ontology‐Driven Observability: Building the E2E Knowledge Graph at Netflix Scale

Prasanna Vijayanathan, Renzo Sanchez-Silva — Fri, 09 Oct 2026 11:00:00 GMT

Prasanna Vijayanathan and Renzo Sanchez-Silva share how Netflix tackles observability across 38M events/sec. They discuss replacing reactive monitoring with an AI-driven operational ontology and agentic workflows using Claude and graph databases. They explain how unifying MELT telemetry into queryable knowledge graphs enables automated triaging, root-cause analysis, and self-healing systems.
