AI

I recently became a parent, which has made me look backward as much as forward. I have been thinking about my own childhood, and about the lessons, habits, and struggles that shaped the person I became. I’m sure most parents do this. We…

The debate about AI and software engineering is focused on the wrong thing. One side says AI will make engineers far more productive. The other says it will fill codebases with AI slop. Both sides are right. AI is not good or bad by…

A motley gang of venture capitalists, LinkedIn influencers, and recently-laid-off product managers have hijacked your company’s hiring pipeline and are threatening to sink it in 30 days with "AI strategy" unless their demands are met. The…

The Age-Old Quest for a "What-If Machine" Whether you are a business leader, a policymaker, or a team manager, you face a fundamental challenge: making decisions with incomplete information about how people will react. We launch new…

Over the weekend, I was scrolling through Twitter to see what was happening in the AI community. Once again, DeepSeek was at the center of attention. But this time, it wasn’t just another OCR (optical character recognition) model. DeepSeek…

Reading the MCP (Model Context Protocol) specification can be intimidating. People see “Protocol” and “Specification” and think you have to be a compiler developer or networking expert to understand it. You have to implement some complex…

I’ve always been fascinated by how some teams seem to bend time—turning what should take years into mere months or even days—while others, including some I’ve been part of, grind to a halt under the weight of endless meetings and…

Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about how weird it feels to ship software the same way we did five years ago—especially when the tools we use today can practically read our minds. AI is here. Not in the “sci-fi overlords” sense. In the…

We stand at a peculiar moment in history. The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence has left us simultaneously exhilarated and anxious, caught between dreams of utopia and nightmares of obsolescence. But while much of the discourse…

Every major tech shift follows a pattern: the initial excitement centers on the foundational infrastructure, but the enduring giants are those who apply that technology to solve real problems. Infrastructure vs. Applications: The Internet…

Building AI systems that simulate human behavior is a technical challenge and an exploration of what drives us as people. As the head of engineering at Vurvey, my work centers on creating human behavior models that help us predict and…

I’ve been using two new tools recently—Cursor and Claude-Dev—both of which have been getting a fair bit of attention in the developer community. They’re each built to make coding faster and more intuitive through AI-powered assistance, but…

Let’s face it—choosing the right metric to evaluate your machine learning model can be just as tricky as building the model itself. We’ve all been there, running a model that claims 99% accuracy, only to realize it completely misses the…

(More of My Ultimate Guides) In the ever-evolving landscape of machine learning, the quest for the most efficient and powerful models is a continuous journey. As we delve into the intricate world of algorithms, we often find ourselves at a…

I haven’t written much lately about Quantum Computing, not because it’s less interesting, just because I’ve been so preoccupied with all of the breakthroughs in the Artificial Intelligence research, that frankly its consumed all of my time…

Today you are going to aquire a new super power… the power to control your browser with your thoughts! Okay, well not exactly with your thoughts, but with these scripts that I will show you how to use with Puppetteer (the most popular and…

If you’re like me, you’ve started to see the term “Vector Database” start popping up all over your technology news feeds. However, is this actually something that is useful to understand, or is this just another hyped up technology trying…

If you’re like me, you probably have a hard time keeping up with all the new buzzwords and acronyms that are popping up in the world of technology. Machine learning, artificial intelligence, deep learning, neural networks, natural language…

What’s all this fuss about the AI AlphaGo’s recent victory against the masters? While it’s seemed like AI had hit a dead-end as much as a decade ago, if you’re like many of us sci-fi enthusiasts and have always wanted an AI best friend,…

Artificial intelligence (AI) is a lot like life’s relationships. Sometimes what you put into it is pretty straightforward, leading to the output or outcome that you wanted. Other times, let’s just say, the process gets a bit more…

Artificial intelligence has been in the background for decades, kicking up dust in the distance, but never quite arriving. Well that era is over. In 2017, AI has broken through the dust cloud and arrived in a big way. But why? What’s the…

(This is part 3 in a series of posts on artificial intelligence and deep learning/neural networks. You can check out part 1 and part 2 if you haven’t yet read them and are new to AI) There was a time when artificial intelligence was only…

Interest in artificial intelligence is reaching new heights. 2016 was a record year for AI startups and funding, and 2017 will certainly surpass it, if it hasn’t already. According to IDC, spending on cognitive systems and AI will rise…

Unless you’re living under a rock, you’ve probably noticed Artificial Intelligence (AI) is popping up more and more in technology talks and business strategies. I’ve even noticed among my friends an increased interest in “cognifying” their…
