The Four Horsemen of Agentic Coding
7 min read
Agentic coding is undeniably very useful. It’s also very bad. Or rather, it’s having some horrible effects on us, our craft, and our relationships with each other. I can feel it in my bones, and a lot of others can too. But whenever I try to explain what exactly is wrong, I find myself waving my hands wildly and jumping from point to point. What do you mean, what’s wrong? So many things are wrong!...
AI Makes Me Sad
7 min read
AI Makes Me Sad October 2nd, 2026 Am I allowed to say that? Because it does. Maybe it's because I'm writing this at 2:00 AM, which is about the only time I let myself experience sadness for a prolonged period of time, but every time I see a post on Twitter or LinkedIn about a new development in AI, I feel a sense of hopelessness. And I'm saying this as someone who is absolutely in a position to be...
How accurately calibrated is Jev?
11 min read
Jev is TypeSafe’s new “System One” classifier model. The name is inspired by Daniel Kahneman’s book Thinking, Fast and Slow, in which he distinguishes between fast, instinctive, System One thinking and slower, conscious, System Two thinking.1 In this analogy, Large Language Models (LLMs) like Claude or GPT are System Two models and “Decision Models” like Jev and its predecessors (e.g. Laya) are Sy...
Big Tech ruined the cloud, so we're renaming ours

Big Tech ruined the cloud, so we’re renaming ours From ever-increasing subscription prices to outages and data harvesting: we don’t like what the cloud has come to represent. So we’re redefining what an online service should be: private, optional, and free from lock-in or walled gardens. That’s why today Nabu Casa is renaming Home Assistant Cloud to more accurately describe what the service actual...

With most information hidden, the game Stratego had stumped AI until now
2 min read
Deep Blue took down Garry Kasparov at chess in 1997, AlphaGo beat Lee Sedol at Go in 2016, and poker bots have been beating professionals for years. But one classic game called Stratego held out. Even DeepMind, with its exceptional budget, couldn’t build a machine that reliably beat the best human players. Now, a team of researchers from Carnegie Mellon, MIT, New York University, and Stanford Univ...
Don't be fooled–LLMs don't reason
7 min read
Don’t be fooled—LLMs don’t reason Ten years after AlphaGo’s match against Go champion Lee Sedol, today’s AI still isn’t tapping into the machinery that made that win possible. On an afternoon in Seoul in March 2016, I watched a program I helped build put a stone on the fifth line of a Go board in what looked like a gift to its human opponent. Move 37 in game two of the five-game match looked so ab...

F.02 Decommission

We love Figure 02. It is an incredible robot. F.02 marked many firsts for the company: our first deployment at BMW, the birth of Helix, our first robot doing household chores, and our first logistics deployment. As our F.03 fleet grows, maintaining the F.02 fleet no longer makes sense. Decommissioning a fleet of robots full of custom-built actuators and other intellectual property is no easy task....
Meta's Muse is fantastic for web scraping

Meta’s Muse is fantastic for web scraping I haven’t found much use for the personal assistant part of Muse. People on X (Twitter) keep using these assistants to order DoorDash or something. I order DoorDash like five times a year, so that’s not going to speed anything up for me. I also don’t get many emails, and managing my appointments is easy enough already. What I do need is a bunch of data fro...

The death of web development education

In a personal blog post, Baldur Bjarnason describes how he worked in various fields and positions: as an author, publisher, consultant, developer, educator, as well as radio and TV producer. None of these jobs were economically viable in the long term. Adding insult to injury, the respective communities alienate interdisciplinary people who do not fit into their narrow conception of the field. For...

arXiv, and the scientific community at large, are facing a watershed moment. Scholarly publishing is currently changing at a rapid pace, and we are seeing a massive transformation in how researchers communicate their results.

10-year Treasury yield climbs above 5.3% to a level not seen in 24 years

The bond market keeps turning back the clock. Relentless selling pressure pushed the yield on the 10-year U.S. Treasury note above 5.3% Wednesday—blowing past its 2007 peak to reach its highest level since 2002, according to Tradeweb. The milestone is particularly notable because it hints that U.S. borrowing conditions haven’t just returned to a pre-2008-2009 financial crisis normalcy, as some inv...

Claude Says

I don’t care. If I wanted the feedback of an AI, I would have prompted it myself. Your deference to a LLM communicates that the current subject matter is outside your ability to speak confidently on. Given that’s the case, how would I even know if you did an adequate job of communicating my concern to Claude. You just demonstrated a lack of authority on the subject. If I asked you a question, it m...
Commit description as a thinking tool

Before the AI era, I wrote pretty long commit descriptions (or commit bodies) for major changes. It took me about five to ten minutes to draft and reread them to make sure I didn’t miss anything important. I did that for several reasons. I wanted to include all the useful information so readers wouldn’t have to hunt for it in multiple places. I wanted to explain what and, more importantly, why. Th...

The last time my family was replaced by technology My great-great-grandfather thought he’d be replaced by technology too.
