Bug Blindness
I used to wonder why I see so many more bugs than most people. I easily observe hundreds to thousands of bugs per week and nothing seems to work , but most people I talk to don't see anything like this .

I accidentally turned LLM memory into program analysis
Why I stopped trying to give LLM agents a better memory and instead built Lemmalog, a Datalog engine that maintains an agent's knowledge as analysis state, with provenance, retractions and incremental evaluation, plus what happened when I benchmarked it on LongMemEval and LoCoMo.

Stopping the smart TV from being used against you
Smart TVs are everywhere! But who is the master? Amid the electronics boom driven by A.I., one piece of electronics has remained almost unchanged financially. That is the digital display or flat-panel monitor. With good reason! The entire entertainment and streaming industry wants one of these devi

“It works better in the app”
The monkey-punchers at Google never quite seem to finish any of their apps. There's always some useful bit of work left undone, or showstopping bug which remains unfixed, a thousand jagged edges as yet unsolved by the greatest minds of their generation. I wanted to subscribe to an events calendar. I had a URl. I had…
