The Opaque Prompt Pipeline: Why “AI-Powered” Tools Make You Leak on Autopilot
AI-powered products hide the most important part of the system: where prompts go, who sees them, and what users unknowingly leak.
Engram, DeepSeek, and the return of “memory” as an architectural primitive
DeepSeek's Engram reframes memory as an architectural primitive, suggesting models may need recall structures rather than ever-larger layers.
Programming as the Art of Naming
As AI writes more code, naming becomes even more central: the human craft shifts toward concepts, boundaries, and meaning.
Recursive Language Models: when “more context” stops meaning “more tokens”
Recursive language models challenge the idea that longer context alone solves reasoning over large documents and codebases.
Acontext: The Memory Implant Your AI Agents Have Been Dreaming About (While Forgetting Everything Else)
Acontext tackles the amnesia problem in AI agents by making reusable memory feel less like a feature and more like infrastructure.
The Quiet Cost of Too Many Yeses: What AI Can Learn from Good Teachers
Good teachers do not simply say yes; the post argues that AI assistants also need constructive friction to help users think better.
Transformers Are Injective: Why Your LLM Could Remember Everything (But Doesn’t)
If transformers are theoretically invertible, the question shifts from whether models lose information to how they manage and suppress it.
AI-Powered Browsers Are Changing How We Surf the Web
AI browsers promise to understand and act on the web, but they also redraw the boundary between browsing and delegation.
Small Models, Big Brains: Why Less Might Be the Future of AI Reasoning
Tiny reasoning models challenge the assumption that scale is always the path to intelligence, especially on structured problems.
Learning to Learn vs. Remembering in the Age of Ubiquitous Knowledge
In an age of ubiquitous knowledge, the post weighs adaptability against memory and asks what learning should still mean.
