The Companies Cutting Headcount for AI Will Lose to the Ones Who Didn't
4 min read
Organisations using AI to cut headcount are making a short-term trade with long-term consequences. The ones holding their teams together and investing in how those teams operate with AI are building something more durable. There is a version of AI adoption that looks smart on a spreadsheet. Fewer people, lower payroll, same output. It is the version being quietly executed in boardrooms right now, ...

Microsoft Cancels Internal Anthropic Licenses As Shift To Token-Based AI Billing Blows Up Annual Budgets In Months

The enterprise AI gold rush hit a very expensive wall. Companies are realizing that giving thousands of employees unlimited access to advanced AI models is blowing through yearly budgets in a matter of months. Providers are moving away from predictable flat-rate fees, shifting to expensive token-based usage models that charge for every prompt and line of code generated. The shift toward token-base...

The IBM-ification of Google?

Google is Shattering Under Its Own Weight (The IBM-ification of Google?) I used to think Google owning the full vertical stack was a masterstroke.

Look at the Railway GCP account ban situation. A literally billion dollar startup ...
The memory shortage is causing a repricing of consumer electronics
21 min read
AI is killing the cheap smartphone The global memory crunch and the great repricing of consumer electronics One of the most remarkable things about the last few decades is how cheap computers have gotten. In 1985, if you were a reasonably affluent American, the best computer that you could afford was the IBM PC AT. The PC AT would cost you about $6,000—$19,400 in 2026 dollars—and thus represented ...
Using Kagi Search with Low Vision
15 min read
When I was using a search engine to find resources for a class, I noticed that I was taking a lot more vision breaks and struggling with visual fatigue more often than before. A major reason for this was the visually cluttered search results page, which was filled with AI summaries, low-quality content, ads, auto-play content that ignored my device settings, and a condensed visual layout that made...
College Graduation Ceremony Erupts In Boos After 'New AI System' Allegedly Misses 'Hundreds' Of Graduates' Names

Blog ran on Ubuntu 16.04 for 10 years. I migrated it to FreeBSD

This blog has been running on a Digital Ocean VPS for over ten years. A machine hosted in New York City, running Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. An LTS that hasn’t been in support for at least 5 years. It was about time to change it.

Google's Antigravity Bait and Switch

Google Declaring War on the Web

In Yesterday’s IO Keynote Google declared war on the remnants of the Web. (See longer description on their website.) TL;DR: They are pushing Search more into the “here’s your processed answer” direction that “AI Overviews” have established (you know, those AI snippets in current Search that are wrong about 10% of the time). So they are mostly giving up on the paradigm of providing links to informa...

An OpenAI model has disproved a central conjecture in discrete geometry For nearly 80 years, mathematicians have studied a deceptively simple question: if you place points in the plane, how many pairs of points can be exactly distance apart? This is the planar unit distance problem, first posed by Paul Erdős in 1946. It is one of the best-known questions in combinatorial geometry, easy to state an...
