TL;DR: My agent hit a timeout, treated it as a failure, and re-ran a task that had already finished. It correctly diagnosed every error it saw and kept retrying anyway. Understanding a failure does not constrain what an LLM does next, so the constraint has to live in the execution layer, and that layer needs … Read more

Every boardroom conversation today eventually circles back to two words: artificial intelligence. And yet, for all the investment in tools, platforms, and AI pilots, most organizations are discovering the same uncomfortable truth — technology alone does not transform how work gets done. People do. Leaders do. The future of work will not be defined by … Read more

Nine industrial protocols later, the protocol research series is over. When I started it, I thought I was going to learn industrial protocols, and that was true, but it turned out to be only part of what I was doing because I was also learning how to research them. My first attempt looked very different … Read more

Every retrieval demo you have ever seen used clean input. Markdown files, a folder of blog posts, maybe a tidy CSV. You chunk it, embed it, query it, and the answers come back right. Then somebody points it at the documents the business actually runs on. A supplier contract in PDF. A quarterly report where … Read more

Vines don’t have eyes. They find a tree by touch. When a tendril brushes a trunk, it registers the contact and starts to wrap. Come back two days later, and it’s halfway around. Botanists call this thigmotropism: growth that follows touch. AI is thigmotropic. It doesn’t grow toward truth or toward good intentions. It grows … Read more

TL;DR: What it is: Kai is a push-to-talk AI pal on a charm-sized M5StickS3. Two brains: a fast path (Gemini Live, ~2 s spoken answers) handles most questions. A slow path (a locked-down Hermes Agent, 15–50 s) does research, memory, and schedules, and Kai speaks the result when it lands. How routing works: the voice … Read more

I think retail adoption of tokenised assets is coming through convenience, not through rights-first design. Tessera was built on that bet – permissionless access for retail – so read what follows as an interested party’s case. The clearest evidence I have seen for it came from somewhere I did not expect at all: a memecoin … Read more

AI in software engineering has moved from being an autocomplete tool to “Agentic AI”, where these AI systems are actively reading our environment, coming up with multi-step plans, hitting APIs, and modifying cloud infrastructure on their own. This speed of AI comes with risks at enterprise scale. An agent that went rogue can trigger a … Read more

This is no longer the childhood game of telephone. When AI agents pass conclusions from one to another, a local decision can quietly become someone else’s authority. South Korea is developing updated AI-security guidance for autonomous agents. The Korea Internet & Security Agency (KISA) has said the work may include a checklist for agentic-AI services … Read more

TeleOCR is an open-source, approximately 1.2-billion-parameter vision-language model for parsing both born-digital documents and camera-captured pages. It is maintained by XingChen-AGI, uses the Transformers library, and is loaded through AutoProcessor and AutoModel. Its central distinction is that it targets geometric distortion and structured content—especially tables and formulas—as well as ordinary text extraction. The README describes … Read more

I launched Borderfolio on August 31. Twenty-five days later, Google was already testing several pages from the site on the first page of search results. Not for huge keywords like “portfolio tracker.” Instead, I started seeing very specific queries: spy irish domiciled schd irish domiciled ireland domiciled qqq SPYL TER 0.03% depotauszug trade republic qqq … Read more

We built the AI economy without an evidence layer. Litigation is building one for us. In June I wrote that you cannot de-risk a breakthrough. I meant it as a complaint about venture capital and game studios: a financial discipline built to protect assets that already exist had been pointed at the creation of things that do … Read more

I noticed something interesting. Whenever an AI agent starts doing strange things, the immediate response of any team is to add more of something. More context. More tools. More logging. Anything so that the AI “has all it needs.” This feels right, I guess. It turns out that’s usually exactly what’s causing the problem. A … Read more

Introduction September 29, 2026, saw some notable developments in the world of AI. One was the White House putting out a statement to instruct all government departments and agencies to use “Super Intelligence (SI)” instead of “Artificial Intelligence (AI).  In addition, the heads of most major AI platforms met at the White House to sign … Read more

If you’ve just started writing SQL Server queries, there’s a good chance you probably wrote a query, saw it return the right rows, and moved on. That’s normal and it’s also exactly why so many beginner-written queries fall over the moment a table grows from 500 rows to 5 million. This article walks through the … Read more

My mother describes how she feels in Hindi, with English health words dropped into the middle of the sentence. “BP high hai.” “Fever lag raha hai.” “Dizzy ho raha hai.” Nobody in my family thinks of this as code-switching. It’s just how we talk. I’m building an Android app so she can log how she … Read more

September 25. I pointed my app at the Pokémon Red box on an Amazon page. It found Pokémon Red Version. Under “Read from the photo,” it says “EAME BOYI.” On September 17, a photo of the Japanese box, ポケットモンスター赤 (Pocket Monsters Red), came out as 「新トレスター」 (“New Trestar,” a game that does not exist). Duo … Read more

“With AI writing the code, maybe it’s time we finally understand what the code is doing.” 😅 The rise of AI has made writing code easier than ever. It has also made one thing increasingly important for me: actually understanding JavaScript. After a year away from frontend development, I found myself coming back to JavaScript … Read more

Swift-1.5-Qwen3.8-27B-GGUF is a set of GGUF quantizations of Swift 1.5 Qwen3.8-27B, a text-generation and reasoning model derived from Qwen3.8-27B. UkisAI (maintainer profile) trained the Swift model to reduce pathological overthinking: its reported evaluation uses 58.5% fewer mean thinking tokens than the base on GPQA-Diamond, with a 0.31 percentage-point higher score, and the release reports a … Read more

If you had to change one of your critical services right now, how confident are you that the change wouldn’t silently break something else in your codebase?

When territory became infrastructure There is something rather misleading about the word “cloud”. It sounds weightless. Something floating somewhere above us. Abstract, distributed, almost placeless. Of course, it isn’t. The cloud is made of buildings, cables, chips, electricity, cooling systems, people, contracts, companies and laws. Lots of laws. And all of those things have a … Read more

A while ago, on a bus, I watched a man try to tell the conductor where he needed to go. He pointed. He gestured. The conductor got impatient, the people behind him got impatient, and the man got smaller and smaller in his seat. I leaned over to help, and that’s when I realised he … Read more

I’m building an Android app for my mother. She lives in a village; the rest of us live in cities, and I wanted a way for her to tell us how she’s feeling without typing a word. The app is called CareVocal (internally, CareBridge). It has three big buttons: green for “feeling good”, yellow for … Read more

This timeline tracks the moments when tech and AI companies restricted, revoked, paywalled or blocked each other’s APIs, data, crawlers, apps or agents, plus the lawsuits, reversals and licensing deals that settled those fights. The “access layer” has moved three times: first APIs (who gets the firehose), then crawlers (who gets to train), now agents … Read more
