This technical post walks through the design and implementation of Secure Playground: a local web app that simulates prompt-injection attacks against large language models and demonstrates simple defenses. Provide a minimal, reproducible environment to test payloads and defensive strategies. Make it easy to add new providers and run mutation-based red-team experiments. Offer a leaderboard and scor

What is Maven? => Maven automatically downloads required libraries from online repositories, so developers don’t need to manage JAR files manually. It follows a standard project structure, making projects easy to understand and maintain. => Maven also manages the build lifecycle, including compile, test, package, and deploy phases. Overall, Maven simplifies development by handling dependencies, b

Introduction Wormhole4j is a Java implementation of the Wormhole index, an ordered in-memory data structure from the EuroSys '19 paper, "Wormhole: A Fast Ordered Index for In-memory Data." By using the strengths of hash tables, prefix trees, and B+ trees, it achieves a worst-case lookup complexity of O(log L), where L is the length of the key. This makes it very fast for both point lookups and r
Ledgers are the heartbeat of any financial companies, fintech or old school financial. Not the API gateway, not the mobile app, not the underwriting model. The ledger Banks have known this for centuries. Fintechs sometimes need to rediscover it the hard way. On fintech world Revolut runs multi-currency, multi-product financial infrastructure across 35+ countries. Stripe moves money and extends c
So far, we’ve seen: The model decides what to do The MCP server executes it But something is missing. Who actually connects these two? That’s the MCP client. The MCP client is: The component that connects the model and the MCP server, and manages the entire interaction between them. It’s easy to think: “The model calls the server directly” But that’s not what happens. 👉 The model only generates i
