ChatLZMA – text generation from data compression
I came across a random tweet, found a Wikipedia page and bumped into some smart people and long story short, apparently compression is equivalent to general intelligence.
Fast Tensors in Clojure – A Sneak Peek
There's a lot going on behind the scenes, since I am not only writing the books; at the same time I have to create the software to write about. For example, ...
Making my local LLM voice assistant faster and more scalable with RAG
If you read my previous blog post, you probably already know that I like my smart home open-source and very local, and that certainly includes any voice assistant I may have. If you watched the video demo, you have probably also found out that it’s… slow. Trust me, I did too. Prefix caching helps, but it feels like…

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.
Are Humans Intelligent? An AI Op-Ed
After seeing so many people debate whether computers can be intelligent I thought it only fair to ask an AI. As with previous posts, I picked the best responses, but everything after the bolded pro…
