I Patented a Four-Sided Box. It’s the Best Mental Model I Have for Building Agents.
Every time my AI agents broke in production, my instinct was to reach for a bigger model and it almost never worked. A method I patented years ago in chaotic Indian traffic (a trapezoid bounding box instead of a rectangle) taught me why: the bottleneck is almost...

Paywalled Creativity: What Happens When New Knowledge Stops Being Free
How the economics of AI search could quietly put a price tag on every new idea, and leave the rest of us reading scams. Here's a thought experiment. You discover something. A genuinely new thing: a research finding, a clever open-source library, an essay that reframes...
NVIDIA Nemotron 3 Ultra: The Shovel Seller Starts Mining for Gold Itself

Germany Has a Mandatory Psychological Test for Drunk Drivers. Here’s How It Actually Works.
Most countries fine you. Germany makes you prove you've changed — biologically, psychologically, and cognitively. When most people think about drunk driving enforcement, they picture fines, license suspensions, and maybe an ignition interlock device. Germany has all...
Designing SLOs for LLM-Powered Applications: What Breaks When Your Service Is Probably Correct
The first sign of trouble was a support ticket. Not a spike in 5xx errors, not a latency alarm, not a failed health check, and not a support ticket. A user had asked the product's AI assistant to summarize a contract clause, and the assistant had done so confidently...
Healthcare AI Has a Reliability Problem Nobody Talks About
Accuracy tells us whether a model can predict. Reliability tells us whether we should trust the prediction in the first place. Most conversations about healthcare AI eventually end up in the same place: accuracy. How accurate is the model? What was the AUC? Did it...

Why Ancient Roman Law is a Hack for AI Regulation
Every dev building at the intersection of AI and Web3 hits the exact same brick wall: How do you safely give an AI agent a private key without going to prison or getting your bank account nuked? Right now, the tech industry is locked in a massive, agonizingly boring...
AI Companies Need Governance Before Autonomy
AI is moving from output to action. Before we give systems more autonomy, we need controls around memory, permissions, audit trails, state tracking and human override. Governance is not something AI companies should add later. It has to be built in from the beginning.
How eSIM provisioning works: eUICC, SM-DP+, QR codes, and security
eSIM provisioning is the process that installs a carrier profile onto the secure chip already built into a phone. With a physical SIM, the carrier credentials arrive on a plastic card. With an eSIM, the phone downloads those credentials over the internet and stores...
Can a Hilbert Curve Gelp Solve Shikaku puzzles? I Benchmarked an Old Obsession
I rebuilt an old dissertation idea as a C#/.NET benchmark to test whether Hilbert curve ordering helps solve Shikaku puzzles. Pure Hilbert ordering beats row-major scanning, but MRV is far stronger as a primary heuristic. Blind Hilbert tie-breaking helps often but has...
The Psychology of Prompting: What Our AI Habits Reveal About Human Behavior
