Jack Dorsey says there is no moat anymore. Yet, Palantir is up 668% in five years, Instinct is valued at $10 billion, and Emergent hit $100 million in annualized revenue in eight months. Both can’t be true unless the moat moved. My bet: it moved to context. The software that wins from here will behave … Read more

Once fidelity becomes high enough, one day you hear something like this. “On this issue, I think I know you better than you know yourself.” People do not respond to those words in the same way. Some laugh, some take offense, and some hurt for a long time. I read that difference along two axes … Read more

AI makes trying cheaper than guessing, yet spec-driven development still asks you to guess first. Meet Hindsight-Driven Development. You spend two hours writing a detailed spec for a feature. An AI coding agent builds it in ten minutes. You try it, and within a minute you see what the spec got wrong. In those same … Read more

Hey there. Alright folks, I’m going to tell you something your dev team already knows but is too polite to say to your face: the biggest security hole in your company isn’t in your codebase. It’s sitting in the founder’s chair. I’ve spent 25+ years in business warfare — buying troubled companies, turning them around, … Read more

American law firms bill an estimated $403.9 billion a year, most of it by the hour, at rates that now reach about $3,400 an hour for a top partner at a large firm, more than double the top rate of a decade ago. Investors have spent the past 18 months pouring money into the software … Read more

The Bank of Korea plans to prepare the bill jointly with the government before the year ends. Unhosted wallets and mixers are already on its radar. South Korea is moving on two tracks at once. The first is fast and narrow. The government and the Bank of Korea plan to revise the Foreign Exchange Transactions Act this … Read more

It all started as a routing investigation. The monorepo (Go, nodejs, C++ with shared proto files) pipeline had been running slowly for some time, and then it started to fail. Bazel builds were being OOM-killed during working hours, the retries lengthened the queue, the longer queue reduced the frequency of pushes, and the CI issues … Read more

The strangest paper I have ever written started with a stock chart. In 2016, I was working on handoff prediction for cellular networks, the problem of anticipating when a moving phone should jump from one base station to the next. Get it right and the call continues seamlessly. Get it wrong and the call drops, … Read more

Open-source AI models are downloaded millions of times from mirrors, torrents and re-uploads, but almost nobody checks whether the file they got is the file the author released. ModelSeal is a small open-source tool that fingerprints model files in the browser and anchors those fingerprints permanently on Arweave, so anyone can verify a model before … Read more

Your New MTTR Shortcut — Introducing Related Threat Context: Cut Time-to-Triage with Actionable IOC Context During triage, analysts may overlook valuable threat intelligence simply because they don’t know it exists. Previous investigations, related malicious activity, and industry-specific observations could provide the context needed to decide what to investigate next. Now, all that valuable context is … Read more

A technical SEO ticket should describe an observable change to a specific page or component, the evidence that will prove it, and the existing behaviour that must survive. That gives engineering a delivery target and gives the person reviewing the release a test they can actually repeat. Consider this request: Improve internal linking on our … Read more

If you’ve been working with coding agents, which I imagine many software engineers reading this have, you’ve probably come across the word “harness.” “Oh, another cliché blog post explaining what a harness means.” No, no. Not this time. I’m a little tired of the jargon too. But the new things aren’t stopping. Every day, every … Read more

Most headphones function in a very simple manner: sound waves created by the headphones propagate through the air into the ear canal and into the inner ear. However, there are some headphones that have a non-traditional approach to producing sound for listening to music. These headphones can deliver sounds through vibrations to the head bones … Read more

Consumer agents run for years with the same user. A companion, a coach, or a journaling app collects thousands of small facts, most of which are only true for a while or evolve over time. Things like a race next Sunday, a trial ending in January, a trip last week, etc. With time, the memories … Read more

Something clicked for me the day I stopped treating AI like a really smart search box. I have been in AI long enough to have built a company in it and exited it. My old company made ROYBI Robot, an AI robot that taught young children language and STEM, the kind of work that drew … Read more

Something “synthetic” is something artificial by nature, a thing that mimics the “real” version. When we add this term to already artificial tokens, it doesn’t mean that these tokens aren’t “real,” but that they follow the price of another asset. It could be from gold, a national currency, a stock, a commodity, another cryptocurrency, or … Read more

When Omri Hurwitz first appeared on The Spiro Circle as one of its earliest guests, he made a remark about AI and the news that James Spiro later used as a headline. Returning for episode 107, the CEO of Omri Hurwitz Media was asked what had changed. His answer was steady: “AI still does not … Read more

AI agents preserve experience in histories, notes, and reusable instructions, then bring it back through search and retrieval. Their models also carry broad knowledge learned during training. But for memory to improve future behavior, it must help a system notice what matters, recognize a situation, and choose an appropriate action. Memento: a life held together … Read more

My team builds a form backend, and the most common message we get is some version of “my form stopped working”. Usually the form never worked. Someone generated the site, clicked Send once, saw a green “Message sent!” and moved on. In early October we got tired of guessing how often that happens and decided … Read more

Nowadays, having enough product material is rarely the main problem for e-commerce operators. Amazon listings may already contain product images, descriptions, key features, pricing information, and other commercial assets. The harder part is turning those materials into enough video creatives for advertising campaigns without spending hours on scripting, editing, and producing variations. Therefore, we tested … Read more

The medical report says there is nothing wrong. Every number falls within its expected range. No abnormality has been detected. The system has done what it was designed to do. And yet, on the morning before work, the body hesitates. It knows something that the report cannot describe. Or perhaps it knows nothing at all. … Read more

Opening an ecommerce store used to involve several separate projects. A seller needed a website, hosting, product pages, payment tools, marketing software, and a system for keeping track of orders. None of those tasks was impossible, but the number of services involved made a small online business surprisingly complicated to operate. Sellvia takes a more … Read more

Some skills are easier to practise when more than one person is involved. A presentation can benefit from an audience. Language practice becomes more dynamic with several voices in the room. Interview preparation can expose people to different questions and responses. Timefolk is extending its skills marketplace around that idea. Through Timefolk, Experts can run … Read more

For much of crypto’s history, digital assets have been treated primarily as something to buy, sell, trade, or transfer. That is beginning to change. As the market matures, Bitcoin and other digital assets are increasingly being integrated into financial products that look less like speculative crypto applications and more like familiar financial infrastructure. One of … Read more

The power of content is immense and unparalleled, for it moves people on a primaeval level. But for that to happen, they have to be able to perceive it and appreciate it with their senses. Life on Earth likely began at a microscopic level, with invisible microbes that lived but perceived nothing. It was only … Read more
