'No-nos' and 'Know knows': Learning About Knowledge Graphs and You
In the past two years, generative AI, LLMs, and GraphRAG emerged as critical topics for businesses and other institutions, questioning what they are and how they can be used to accelerate existing practices. Despite the decades of research and several generations of these technologies, there are still questions pertaining to their practical applications and reliability for daily use. This presentation briefly covers a three-year journey in the production of reliable knowledge governance, exploring pragmatic GenAI implementations through exploration of knowledge, graphs, and governance standards while addressing key and rhetorical challenges in the advancement of reliable LLMs and reproducibility of knowledge graphs.

Using eBPF to Debug Your Running Apps and AI agents 10-20x Faster
eBPF technology is completely revolutionizing how we monitor, operate, and control applications running on Linux. Traditional APM, monitoring tools, and network solutions are feeling more like a hammer and chisel compared to the new capabilities that are now emerging.

As apps and AI agents are becoming more and more distributed with ever-increasing critical dependencies on external LLMs, SaaS APIs, and even internal micro-services, these legacy solutions aren’t cutting it. Let’s take a look at how these modern eBPF capabilities and tools can keep up with your AI-enhanced and now faster-than-ever workflows.

About Tyler Flint
Tyler is a passionate developer with nearly 20 years of experience, and a serial entrepreneur who has built 5 businesses with multiple exits, the most recent acquisition by DigitalOcean - the developer’s cloud. Tyler is a rare full-stack developer for whom the stack starts at the kernel and ends on the client device. He can speak passionately about kernel topics like eBPF, engage in a heated debate about javascript frontend frameworks or AI agents, and speak to nearly every technology in between. Driven by ADHD and swears he’s not autistic, though admits he may have “a titch of the t’ism”, his talks are always amusing if nothing else.
