Lore in the Machine Stories from Beyond the Screen. A podcast about the hidden histories and surprising origins woven into computing culture, hosted by Daina Bouquin.

Lore in the Machine is live! Four episodes are up. Ep1 asks why programmers say 'foo'. The answer involves a very strange comic strip from the 1930s, a WWII radar operator, and more model trains than you'd expect. New episodes every other week loreinthemachine.com #computing #history #techhistory

Devs type "foo" but few know it comes from a 1930s comic strip. I've been collecting stories like this for ages without knowing what to do with them. So I made a show. Lore in the Machine tells the strange stories behind the tools we use every day. Trailer is up. Hope you enjoy: loreinthemachine.com

I recently made a few YouTube shorts explaining what different parts of LLM file names mean, so if you've ever wondered what something like q4_0_L or 8B means, these are for you! #learnAI #genAI www.youtube.com/shorts/WzCom...

The Architecture Problem Behind Your Alert Fatigue | Anaconda Security teams waste 10,000 hours annually on false alerts. Learn how Anaconda's dependency architecture reduces vulnerabilities at the source.

I recently wrote a deep dive exploring some of the reasons why security teams get blindsided by vulnerabilities in Python packages. If you're dealing with alert fatigue or wondering why your team spends hours validating false positives this one's worth your time.

What's a parameter? I'm glad you asked! LLM file names are weird and long but now they're less cryptic www.youtube.com/shorts/WzCom...

Got asked to present a 1 hr session yesterday with a few hrs notice at #PyData VT! Rough drafted this last week for a blog + video series but it was trial by fire instead github.com/dbouquin/mcp...
Can't figure out what to do with my hands but here's a tutorial on #MCP basics with #conda + #Claude.
