AI is an elite crime spree
Documents show a Microsoft exec called AI the "largest theft of labor in human history.” New AI regulations are besides the point, the problem is we don’t apply existing laws to the powerful.

Figma's woes compound with Claude Design
Figma's reliance on non-designer seats made it uniquely exposed to AI. Claude Design's launch deepens the problem.

Case study: Creative math – How AI fakes proofs
Many AI enthusiasts debate whether Large Language Models actually "reason." My research indicates that a reasoning process does indeed occur, but its goal is different than we assume.

The Token Compression Illusion: Why I'm Skeptical of RTK
RTK promises dramatic token savings for coding agents, but raw terminal compression is not the same as cheaper, safer, or more accurate software engineering.

Reproducing DeepSeek's MHC: When Residual Connections Explode
DeepSeek replaced standard residuals with massive Hyper-Connections, and then watched them explode. I reproduced the 9x signal amplification to understand their fix: the Sinkhorn-Knopp algorithm. Part 1 of 2.

No LLM Code in Dependencies
I've spent about 100 hours of work over the past month to make sure git-annex can build without dependencies that contain LLM generated code. At least so far.

Zero-Copy GPU Inference from WebAssembly on Apple Silicon
A WebAssembly module's linear memory can be shared directly with the Apple Silicon GPU: no copies, no serialization, no intermediate buffers. Here's how the zero-copy chain works, what we measured, and what it enables for stateful AI inference.

Claude's Load-Bearing Seams
Now that I have the full picture, the load-bearing seams are much clearer. They are not merely incidental details around the edges. They materially change how the entire situation needs to be understood, and that is the smoking gun I should have recognized earlier.Claude's load-bearing seams
