Satoshi Nakamoto I'm not a huge crypto guy, but I do think Bitcoin is a fascinating project, both in the technical implementation and the origin story. Like a lot of people, I've had a lot of...

RLCD is a calibrated, schema-conditioned extension of pairwise reward modeling: Bradley–Terry becomes Plackett–Luce, and the reward model becomes Jev’s typed decision interface.

Claude Opus 5.5 is Anthropic's first model in the Claude 5.5 family, released on 22 September 2026. It improves on Opus 5 in coding, computer use and knowledge work, while reducing the price...

After about a year of wearing a smart ring, I've decided to throw in the towel. I did really like my Oura Ring. Tracking my sleep and steps, amongst other things, has been really helpful for...

Stateless MCP is the new stateless protocol core for MCP introduced in the 2026-07-28 Specification. The original MCP specification described a handshake protocol that started with an...

Large language models (LLMs) have become the default tool for a remarkable range of tasks, yet they have had conspicuously little success at one of the most common machine learning workloads:...

The 2026-07-28 Model Context Protocol specification is out, bringing a stateless protocol core, Multi Round-Trip Requests, header-based routing, cacheable list results, authorization hardening, a formal extensions framework, and updated Tier 1 SDKs.

Agent skill: make LLMs write docs in ASD-STE100 Simplified Technical English — no AI slop - AminBlg/SimpleEnglish

Most LLM judges output a single score for each criterion. However, a score can often be opaque and difficult to act on, especially at the higher end: what should you change to get a 5 instead...

World Class friendship: how two students bonded over a missing MacBook

OpenClaw went viral earlier this year on tech internet, but the hype has died down quite a bit, especially if Google Trends is anything to go by. But I'm still using it daily, and have been...

In September 2022, I impulsively signed up for a Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science after seeing an ad for it on Coursera. Getting a degree had been on my mind for quite some time, after a...

For the last few years, while finally earning my belated Bachelor's Degree in the University of London's "World Class" program, I've met some amazing people from all across the...

Overview This paper is an empirical investigation of an Agentic Reasoning approach they call Heavy Thinking. It's a simple two-stage workflow: a bunch of subagents reason independently in...

My notes on LLMs Corrupt Your Documents When You Delegate by Philippe Laban, Tobias Schnabel and Jennifer Neville from Microsoft Research. An interesting paper from 3 researchers at Microsoft....

Something I’m increasingly worried about is that the more mental labour we offload to AI, the more our own cognitive capacity starts to dwindle. In a popular paper from 2025 (AI Meets the...

My notes on OpenGame: Open Agentic Coding for Games by Yilei Jiang, Jinyuan Hu, Qianyin Xiao, Yaozhi Zheng, Ruize Ma, Kaituo Feng, Jiaming Han, Tianshuo Peng, Kaixuan Fan, Manyuan Zhang,...

“There are only two hard things in Computer Science: cache invalidation and naming things.” - Phil Karlton I don't think naming things is hard anymore (cache invalidation is about the same)....

I've built Obsidian Markdown Notebook, a plugin that lets you execute code in Obsidian with both code and output stored in the same file, kinda like a Markdown Jupyter Notebook. Right now, the...

Agent Skills are structured packages of Markdown files and scripts that augment AI Agents' capabilities. They usually look something like this: ~/.claude/skills/some-skill/ ├── SKILL.md └──...

This paper introduces a new paradigm for single-step generative modelling called Drifting Models 1 Where Diffusion/Flow Matching performs iterative denoising at inference time, Drifting Models...

Software Factory 1 refers to the idea of completely abandoning the notion of writing code, even reviewing it, leaving engineers to manage the goal and validate the correctness of the system....

I've been an Obsidian user for many years. I like it a lot. I like the paradigm of linking notes that comes from Zettelkasten. I like having a single place to keep all my notes, to track...

Spec-First LLM Development is the simple idea that, instead of asking an LLM to immediately output code after prompting, you first ask it to output a spec file, which is continually updated as...
