Emerging technologies, technical experiments, and the intersection of different tech domains.
Cross-domain technology insights, experiments, and patterns that apply across different systems.
A language dies every 40 days. 38% of webpages from 2013 are already gone. We built seed vaults for biodiversity. Why haven't we built knowledge vaults, training AI models on endangered languages, traditional medicine, and martial arts lineages before the last practitioners are gone?
Most people focus on which AI model to use. But the quality of your results depends more on context than model choice. Here's what context actually is, why most of it is hidden from you, and what that means for getting better results.
A 2025 year-end analysis of the stablecoin chain explosion, tokenized deposits, and what the fragmentation means for cross-border payments.
Working in isolation started before COVID but the pandemic accelerated it. Through Web3, Crypto Winter, and now AI, I've watched us mistake distributed work for distributed humanity.
Retrieval gives agents information. Context gives them decision logic, constraints, and workflows. This deep dive explains why RAG cannot solve decision-making and why the context layer becomes essential infrastructure.
AI agents can execute actions, but they can't decide which action is correct. Finance exposes this gap more clearly than any domain. Here's why context, not compute, becomes the bottleneck.
A practitioner's warning to friends who aren't paying attention to AI. The transformation is already here, and most people won't see the punch until it lands.
Atomic settlement eliminates the timing gaps that have defined FX for 50 years. Here's how institutional shared ledgers, tokenized deposits, and programmable settlement are reshaping global currency movement.
Stablecoins hit $46T in annual volume and banks are responding by putting their own money onchain. The real battle isn't between public and private rails. It's about who controls the bridges between them.
Companies are racing to add AI everywhere. But most are strapping rockets to donkeys and calling it innovation. Real transformation requires rebuilding systems, not just adding layers on top.
The phalanx offers a powerful metaphor for engineering culture. It is not about individual heroes, but trust, discipline, and leaders who stand unshielded for their teams. Phalanx Engineering is a way of thinking about resilience that I’ve applied and refined in practice.
Businesses and consumers are embracing cloud storage, but security questions remain urgent. Cloud security risks, provider promises, and practical solutions like encryption and credential management.
A compiled list of commonly-used Git commands for branching, tagging, remote management, and logging, covering both everyday operations and edge cases that come up occasionally.
Using Python and lxml to insert a “read more” link inline with the last HTML element instead of breaking the layout. Includes example code and notes on contributing it back to Pelican as a plugin.
