Presentation: How to Unlock Insights and Enable Discovery Within Petabytes of Autonomous Driving Data
Kyra Mozley discusses the evolution of autonomous vehicle perception, moving beyond expensive manual labeling to an embedding-first architecture. She explains how to leverage foundation models like CLIP and SAM for auto-labeling, RAG-inspired search, and few-shot adapters. This talk provides engineering leaders a blueprint for building modular, scalable vision systems that thrive on edge cases.
By Kyra MozleyArticle Series - AI Assisted Development: Real World Patterns, Pitfalls, and Production Readiness
In this series, we examine what happens after the proof of concept and how AI becomes part of the software delivery pipeline. As AI transitions from proof of concept to production, teams are discovering that the challenge extends beyond model performance to include architecture, process, and accountability. This transition is redefining what constitutes good software engineering.
By Arthur CasalsHow CyberArk Protects AI Agents with Instruction Detectors and History-Aware Validation
To prevent agents from obeying malicious instructions hidden in external data, all text entering an agent's context must be treated as untrusted, says Niv Rabin, principal software architect at AI-security firm CyberArk. His team developed an approach based on instruction detection and history-aware validation to protect against both malicious input data and context-history poisoning.

Join Codetown
Hi Mandela and welcome to Codetown! Hope you join some groups (like the OrlandoJUG!). Don't hesitate to post here, using your blog or in discussions in the groups, or in the forums. Get yourself a decent computer. Costco is my goto place. Or, you can even find great ones on craigslist or at garage sales. I got a used iMac on cl for $40 last month!
You might enjoy trying out Kotlin. It's a language that Google uses for Android. There is a Kotlin group with some very good articles by Amanda. Check it out, join it, post some results of your adventures.
All the best,
Mike
