In this post I explain why today’s humanoid robots will not learn how to be dexterous despite the hundreds of millions, or perhaps many billions of dollars, being donated by VCs and major tech companies to pay for their training.
A complete guide to agent architecture, orchestration patterns, trust strategies, and adoption plans for PMs building AI agents.
A practical guide to working with AI coding agents without the hype.

A first attempt at identifying and cataloging DeepSeek's glitched tokens
After maintaining a total stance of public silence for months, I recently publicly announced my unexpected divorce on Instagram. I shared a picture of the divorce cake that my friends got for me, and shared a brief essay I had drafted the day before about the news. I had to edit it down slightly from my original draft…
Last year I created a fun little experiment where I asked a bunch of LLMs to rank 97 hackernews users using their comment history based on whether they would be good candidates for the role of “software engineer at google”. (yes yes, seems silly I know, you can read part 1 and part 2 but […]
We need to augment our command line tools and design APIs so they can be better used by LLM Agents. The designs are inadequate for LLMs as they are now – especially if you're constrained by the tiny context windows available with local models.
Lessons learned from building Codescribble with a little help (and a lot of frustration) from an AI
DeepSeek released a new model yesterday: DeepSeek-OCR, a 6.6GB model fine-tuned specifically for OCR. They released it as model weights that run using PyTorch and CUDA. I got it running …
I hope the media will look into this

Its modern version (the reverse mode of automatic differentiation) was first published in 1970 by Seppo Linnainmaa
The hype cycle for Google’s fabulous new AI Co-Scientist tool, based on the Gemini LLM, includes a BBC headline about how José Penadés’ team at Imperial College asked the tool about a problem…
Though LLMs had a lot of promise, this has not been demonstrated in practice. The technology is essentially a failure, and a new AI winter is coming.
the AI talent wars challenge the shared trust and mission that aligned founders, employees, and investors
Companies are saying that the economy and AI are causing the large amount of tech layoffs, but Vanessa Wingårdh looked at the H-1B visa data and noticed that the companies are lying. She argues that...
Understanding the Tensor Processing Unit
Last month, I met with Eric, a fearless PM at a medium size startup who recently got into vibe coding with Gemini.
For a very long time, it appeared obvious to outside observers of the time flow that Skynet would never win the war, and never annihilate humanity.
How I leveraged AI tools like Cline to enhance the UI/UX of a website and streamline backend tasks. From redesigning pages and translating content to navigating the benefits and challenges of AI-assisted development, this blog post highlights the potential of using large language models to boost productivity while…
DeepSeek is pushing DuckDB beyond its single-node roots with smallpond, a new, simple approach to distributed compute. But does it solve the scalability challenge—or introduce new trade-offs?
