I Just Shipped My First Chrome Extension (And It Was Harder Than the Code)
What building and publishing XPilot taught me about Manifest V3, OAuth, and the gap between “it works on my machine” and “it works in the Chrome Web Store.” I just shipped my first Chrome extension. Not a tutorial toy. Not a “hello world” that never left...
One Less Database: Running RAG Search Inside Oracle 23ai
Every RAG tutorial starts the same way: spin up a Pinecone index, generate some embeddings, wire it into LangChain, and call it a day. That's exactly what I did for a customer-support search tool I built last year until I realized I was paying to sync data between two...
AI Gateway for Architecture Leaders: A 2026 Guide
Picture a support agent in production. It receives a user message, calls an internal knowledge base, decides it needs account data, calls a second tool, then drafts a reply and sends it. Five model and tool calls, start to finish, in about two seconds. Now picture a...
We Ran 35 Controlled Experiments on “Exotic Algebra” Neural Networks. They’re a Placebo.
TL;DR: Quaternion, octonion, sedenion, and Clifford-algebra neural networks keep appearing in the literature with claims of parameter efficiency and special expressivity. We spent two months building them, benchmarking them — and honestly trying to make them win....
The Cooling Revolution That Could Save a Warming World
