I turned my security cameras into an automatic bird identification system
6 min read
My wife loves listening to the birds and identifying them using an app on her phone. I thought I'd take this a step further and see if there was something that can identify the birds based on their song. Looking around I found BirdNet and BirdNet-Go, then discovered you can run this on Docker and use the security cameras you already have outside to identify the birds. Awesome! So I took 3 of the c...
Mental Health Workers Say Algorithmic Triage Is Hurting Patients
12 min read
When Kaiser Permanente triage clinician Harimandir Khalsa began working in the psychiatry department at Kaiser’s Walnut Creek Medical Center in Northern California, she was on a team of nine people. Today, just over three years later, she is one of only three triage clinicians left. Some of the work once handled by employees has shifted to automated and algorithmic tools. This change has coincided...

Marx, Keynes, and AI
7 min read
There’s a recent paper by two economists called “The AI Layoff Trap.” It includes a ton of math I can’t understand, but I get the basic idea. I’ll show you the abstract: If AI displaces human workers faster than the economy can reabsorb them, it risks eroding the very consumer demand firms depend on. We show that knowing this is not enough for firms to stop it. In a competitive task-based model of...

Apple caught off guard by AI demand for Mac Mini and Mac Studio
2 min read
Apple's unusually timed announcement of new Mac mini and Mac Studio models this week was driven by unexpectedly strong enterprise appetite for AI hardware, according to The Information.

The Informatio...
AI-written code is still your code
2 min read
Coding agents keep pushing the cost of writing software close to zero. This is valuable because writing software has historically been a big part of the work needed to ship software. For a lot of projects, testing, documenting, packaging, and other code-adjacent work have consumed much less effort, when they’re done at all. But the writing part has always bundled with it another important part tha...
Agent memory as a file format

Agent memory as a file format Memoryfields - a vastly simpler way to do agent memory Many model benchmarks start from a blank context window. The tabula rasa of AI. To some extent, this makes sense, to keep the benchmarks fair. But real agents should never start from a blank context window. They should start with as much relevant information available to the agent as possible. Your AI agents shoul...

Continuous Diffusion Language Models (CDLM's)
45 min read
A flurry of recent activity in the space of continuous diffusion models for language, after a few years of relative dormancy, suggests that this approach is making something of a comeback. Fully discrete diffusion methods had largely supplanted earlier attempts to make continuous diffusion work for language, but the tide is starting to turn. In this post, I want to take a closer look at what’s goi...
Cores in space: The core memory module from a 1980 Spacelab computer
24 min read
Spacelab was a reusable laboratory that could be carried in the Space Shuttle's cargo bay, providing lab space for astronauts and experiments.1 Because Spacelab was a European project, it used a French-built minicomputer, the Mitra 125 MS,2 rather than the Shuttle's main computers, IBM-built AP-101 systems. For storage, the Spacelab computer contained 128 kilobytes of RAM. Rather than silicon memo...

Domain-Driven Agents

I've been using LLMs heavily in the last years in coding, or more generally, in software engineering. I watched many times what productivity boost I could gain from it, and I used LLMs in more and more of my projects. It works well in greenfield projects, and small ones. The reality is that in day to day work we need to introduce agents into legacy codebases with heavy dependency trees, strong cou...

It is widely accepted that there is an AI bubble in the financial markets at the moment.
