The Hype is hurting my brain
In the run-up to their IPO, SpaceX said their TAM was $28.5 Trillion. Funnily enough, Dario Amodei from Anthropic has now come up with $30 Trillion for his TAM. It's a pissing contest about who can say the bigg…
In praise of smaller large language models
Part of my side-project's codebase uses Flan T5 XL for some generative tasks. Flan T5 is an LLM that was released in October 2022. The XL version that I use has 3 billion parameters. Might sound l…
Check in on Syracuse Progress

Joe Moura, CEO at Crew AI If it's a problem that the system gives a different answer each time, then maybe it shouldn't be an agent. This one cuts through a lot of the hype. Agents are amaz…
AI vs Memento
Working with Claude Code makes me feel like I'm in Memento, the 2000 film about someone trying to solve a mystery. The twist is that he can't make new memories. Every time he figures out something he has to resort to a patchw…
How do you benchmark a product you built yourself?
I built a company-news API and I wanted to know whether it was better than the alternatives. The problem: I'm the author, so I'm biased — and I wanted to use an LLM as the judge, which mak…
What makes a good data person?
I found myself talking to two different data leaders last week in two different places. Two different leaders who work in completely different areas. Completely different. Yet they both used the same word to …
#neo4j subquery might make it easier to get something working - but in this case it was dog slow compared to rewriting without subquery

I build software products. I spend a lot of time in hotels.
Here are some learnings about UX that I've taken from hotel elevators.
