What sort of maths are LLMs good at?
For the sake of anyone who might read this blog post in the distant future (a month from now, say), let me mention that I am writing it a few days after OpenAI announced that it had solved ten majo…

Don't classify, hallucinate
A useful pattern for LLM classification at scale is to let it hallucinate plausible, fake entities. Then resolve to real ones.

What's the best programming language for coding agents?
This somewhat widely cited post (I keep seeing it cited, anyway) suggests that dynamic languages and/or languages that represent things more concisely are more token efficient. It seems to be cited enough that LLM search results agree. For example, when I searched for "dynamic vs static language token cost" (no…

Humanising LLM Outputs Is Dumb
The largest tell for me to tell where culture and sentiment is shifting for AI tools is usually X, viral GitHub repositories and Hacker News. One of these tells I’ve been seeing a lot lately is skills like I have ADHD and Agents.md instructions such as giving outputs in only ASD-STE100 Simplified Technical English.

Managing AI Coding Costs at Scale
AI coding tools deliver immense value: at Databricks, agentic coding has measurably improved every velocity metric we track and, in some teams, driven an order-of-magnitude gains in output. But nearly every company deploying AI tools at scale has hit the same wall: exponentially growing costs.
