*Three years ago, I was deep in interview prep for roles at Amazon, Google and Meta. And Leetcode almost broke me.

I remember staring at problems for hours, wondering if I'd ever get it. I tried solving everything randomly, Arrays, Graphs, DP — hoping something would click.

But solving 3500+ que...

Ken Thompson's vivid recollection of the rowdy roomful of geeks at Bell Labs who built the digital world in a spirit of open play.

Anthropic just rolled out Claude Skills, and it is something that is going to matter for anyone building agent-based systems. Think of these as lightweight, portable bundles, like folders of instructions, scripts, and resources that the model loads only when they are needed.

*In my perpetual quest to seek out alternative technofutures, I want to highlight the really cool work of Keolu Fox, Ph.D.

But first, some context: one major environmental issue with "Big AI" is the rapid churn of GPUs— they're being manufactured and rendered obsolete at a breakneck pace.

I’ve built four AI-enabled apps this year, all developer productivity tools. While I was building them, I began to notice a pattern:

*Wait, another one?

Within 24 hours of publishing a detailed paper on its LLM-based retrieval system, LinkedIn dropped another - this time on how post embeddings are generated and used across the platform.

Two public papers, both from internal engineers, both lifting the veil on what the algorit...

*Anthropic has a history of releases interesting things quietly & without much non-technical explanation. It happened again.

As Simon says, Claude Skills are a big deal, representing both an easy path for workable agents & a step forward in what AI can do.

Basically you can write instructions fo...

*So excited for this! Andrej Karpathy just dropped a new repo for learning how to build a full-stack LLMs.

While preparing for my Black Hat and DEF CON talks in July of this year, I found the most impactful Entra ID vulnerability that I will probably ever find. One that could have allowed me to compromise every Entra ID tenant in the world (except probably those in national cloud deployments). If you are...
