Will Amazon S3 Vectors kill vector databases or save them?
AWS S3 Vectors aims for 90% cost savings for vector storage. But will it kill vectordbs like Milvus? A deep dive into costs, limits, and the future of tiered storage.
Experimenting with Local LLMs on macOS
A developer's guide to downloading and running LLMs on macOS, for experimentation and privacy.
Using Claude Code to modernize a 25-year-old kernel driver
As a bit of background, one of my hobbies is helping people recover data from old tape cartridges, such as QIC-80 tapes, which were a rather popular backup medium in the 1990s among individuals, small businesses, BBS operators, and the like. I have a soft spot for tape media; there’s something about the tactile…
Google's new AI mode is good, actually
When I wrote about how good ChatGPT with GPT-5 is at search yesterday I nearly added a note about how comparatively disappointing Google's efforts around this are. I'm glad I …
The Claude Code Framework Wars
How developers are experimenting with structure, orchestration, and standards to get more out of AI coding.
GPT-5 Thinking in ChatGPT (a.k.a. Research Goblin) is good at search
“Don’t use chatbots as search engines” was great advice for several years... until it wasn’t. I wrote about how good OpenAI’s o3 was at using its Bing-backed search tool back …
Using Claude Code SDK to reduce E2E test time
Best of both worlds: Building an AI gatekeeper that knows exactly which tests to run for your code changes
AI surveillance should be banned while there is still time
All the same privacy harms with online tracking are also present with AI, but worse.
Why language models hallucinate
OpenAI’s new research explains why language models hallucinate. The findings show how improved evaluations can enhance AI reliability, honesty, and safety.
ML needs a new programming language – Interview with Chris Lattner
Listen in on Jane Street’s Ron Minsky as he has conversations with engineers working on everything from clock synchronization to reliable multicast, build systems to reconfigurable hardware. Get a peek at how Jane Street approaches problems, and how those ideas relate to tech more broadly.

Evidence that AI is destroying jobs for young people
A big nerd debate with bigger implications for the future of work, technology, and the economy
Where's the shovelware? Why AI coding claims don't add up
78% of developers claim AI makes them more productive. 14% say it's a 10x improvement. So where's the flood of new software? Turns out those productivity claims are bullshit.

Speeding up PyTorch inference on Apple devices with AI-generated Metal kernels
Our lab investigated whether frontier models can write optimized GPU kernels for Apple devices to speed up inference. We found that they can: our AI-generated Metal kernels were 1.24x faster across KernelBench v0.1 problems, and 1.87x faster across KernelBench v0 problems.

Finding thousands of exposed Ollama instances using Shodan
We uncovered 1,100+ exposed Ollama LLM servers—20% with open models—revealing critical security gaps and the need for better LLM threat monitoring.
The maths you need to start understanding LLMs
A quick refresher on the maths behind LLMs: vectors, matrices, projections, embeddings, logits and softmax.
A staff engineer's journey with Claude Code
This started as an internal Sanity workshop where I demoed how I actually use AI. Spoiler: it's running multiple agents like a small team with daily amnesia.
