President Duke argues that anyone who transferred into a synthetic body stopped being human the moment their original brain died. I've been thinking about this argument for years, and I still can't…

Summary: C-SAT (Customer Satisfaction rating) is broken. Yet we rely on it. Yes, but how, when and why you ask for feedback is critical. Most CSAT scores are disconnected from the customer’s goal,…

Do you remember when software was expensive to make? When you couldn’t just snap your fingers and make some code appear with a full test suite? Crafting code this way was hard, but it was…

There are semantic landslides happening right now. In the last few months I have observed that the term “Creative Coding” […] The post Thinking Piece: Is Creative Coding with AI…

In his talk “Why AI Is Breaking Software Security As We Know It” (my notes here), Feross Aboukhadijeh talks about the Axios npm incident and how the maintainer got phished by succumbing to (amongst…

would ASI treat us how we treat dogs? my instinct is probably not. some of us think we treat dogs incredibly well, on par with our own offspring. others see a pet dog's life as pathetic and…

Last week, Deepseek released DSH, an agent harness with very interesting approach.The same pitch used by VS Code and Eclipse RPC (2024): “everything is a plugin” but this time it’s a bit different.…

Wisdom is judgment proven efficacious over time. Present-day AI is intelligent, or close enough that arguing about it is a distinction without a difference, and it still isn't wise, because nothing…

AI transparency should identify the machine, not give its provider a claim over human-led work. Imagine spending a substantial amount of time building a successful software company. You identify the…

Not in a "get hyped" kind of way. More like: oh, yep, I am doing that.

When do you choose Agent2Agent over MCP or subagents? It all has to do with administrative boundaries.

These screenshots come from a YouTube video titled "10 Antique Typewriters in Your Attic Worth a Fortune! (Most People Don't Know What They Have)." The whole thing is AI-generated. It doesn't pretend…

When I first learned about Unix and “Unix-like” operating systems, I was intrigued. I had only known the colorful world of Windows 3.1 so far. Like Japanese carpentry, everything seemed…

**Actualizado: agosto de 2026** Sublime Text sigue siendo uno de los editores de código más rápidos y ligeros disponibles, pero durante años las herramientas de IA han tenido mucha más presencia en…

**Updated: August 2026** Sublime Text remains one of the fastest and most lightweight code editors available, but for years AI tooling has been much stronger in editors such as VS Code, Cursor, and…

2026-08-20 For reasons that are beyond me, corporations have decided to use a four-pointed star as the symbol of machine learning. Every time I see it, it triggers a Pavlovian fight-or-flight…

In the title (The convergence engine: How nanotechnology enables AI, CRISPR, and quantum computing) for a December 31, 2025 Nanowerk Spotlight article, Michael Berger seemingly references K. Eric…

Speculative decoding swept across the fleet: three draft mechanisms, per-model sweet spots from depth 3 to 5, one model that triples, and one that breaks.

Interesting talk by Feross Aboukhadijeh, CEO of Socket, on where we are with security, open source, and AI. How’s the whole skills.md thing going? English is the malware now Ok, what about MCP?…

Some instrumental music you might have fun listening to while you read this; the music is produced by Suno AI but from my extremely long and complex prompt, just to see how much control over the…

I Was an Enthusiastic Early Adopter of AI Scribes. Here’s Why I Stopped This is fascinating, and also entirely understandable: There is something else the ambient scribe disrupts that receives almost…

A new artificial intelligence, or AI, translation model could improve the accuracy and cultural appropriateness of Chinese-English public signs in tourist attractions, according to research in the…

Current programming languages are full of syntax that AI doesn't really need. If AI is the one writing the code, why bother with brackets and commas? I explore two ways we could redesign languages…

In the last post, I argued that AI maturity is not about tool count. The real question is whether AI is changing how the company works. That leads to the next question: if AI is becoming a company…

In May 2025 I met Yo Shavit, who was working on national security policy at OpenAI and was thinking about how to prepare for a future in which models could seriously assist attackers in creating…

Building things with AI has gone through four major phases already. I believe the fifth one is around the corner. I saw the fourth one coming, so why not put my predictions in writing?Let's see…

Many of you sent feedback about your experiences with agents at work—but it was all too positive! I want to hear about some goddamn disasters of team & organizational dysfunction, too! Send in…

I don't want to read your agent wall of text (or any, really). I want to read what you, a fellow human, have written. I don't want to listen to your agent's music. I don't want to view your agent's…

Most of the time, we use AI when we need something. We open ChatGPT or Claude, ask a question, get an answer and move on. But some of my favourite uses of AI are things I only had to ask for once.…

A card packs everything about one item (image, title, key facts, action) inside a clearly bounded rectangle that the user’s visual system sees as a single object, which is why cards excel at…

TL;DR Claude Code sessions on the same machine can now list and message each other. That is the right tool for a session already mid-task, and the wrong one for starting a new task: a session that…

When a former colleague, who was almost always against what seemed like knee-jerk tooling suggestions and who constantly advocated for thoughtfulness and long-term planning, left to focus on an…

A simple list of useful websites, places and tools that will help you in your daily work with Stable Diffusion.

AI has its places, but asking a human to review code you did not write takes the biscuit

Every day, startling new accomplishments of Artificial Intelligence (AI) are announced, new records are broken and new problems solved. Things that were lately considered impossible are now…

If you work in SEO, GEO, or AI search optimization, you have probably seen the same recommendation repeatedly: “Add an llms.txt file to your website...

We recently read The MANIAC, by Benjamin Labatut in my AI Book Club. This was our first work of fiction, though much of the text is imagined biography, so not really traditional fiction. It reads…

I’m creating my own reusable skills. This week I learned something more about the ergonomics: it can be worth it to design what is loaded into context not just around limiting the size, but…

Opus 5 is a strong coding model, but it answers every question with a word salad. My fix used to be a custom output style built on ASD-STE100, the simplified English of aircraft maintenance manuals.…

I've used AI for non-technical work. Not work, stuff. Talking to a mirror that will say what you said and then some 1 . Some conversations move forward like a ping pong game where the table is moving…

The Dial was a Transcendentalist literary journal initially published in 1841 and continued intermittently for approximately 85 years. I did my best to collect the whole of the journal and model it…

Uber infamously runs thousands of microservices. They ended up with so many services because hundreds of engineers wanted to deploy on their own schedule, with clear ownership of their code, instead…

The Pine Time is a $27 smart watch that runs open source firmware. I’ve had one sitting in the back of a drawer for a year or two. When I saw @steveruizok ’s Tweet about hacking on ESP32 devices with…

You don't need to be told that LLMs impact our critical thinking. You can feel it. When you ask ChatGPT or Claude a question, you are skipping the effort that comes with finding the answer. This is…

This is the first post in a three-part series.I want you to try something - drop the word intelligence into the conversation at a Saturday lunch, and see what looks you get from people. Something…

AI has made code cheap to create, but more code means more overhead. Before coding agents, creating more code cost time and effort because engineers had to write it. That naturally encouraged us to…

Carriers spent July filing to strip generative AI out of commercial liability policies. An industry whose entire product is getting paid to accept risk wants no part of this one — not because AI is…
