Rate limits are not a silver bullet for spam. Here is why, and how to address spam concerns.

A few years ago I came across Steph Ango’s 40 Questions to ask Yourself Every Year . Since then, I’ve made it a practice in the last week of the year to work through those questions in my Bullet Journal. I’ve really loved the practice. I love the last few days of December every year — the closing of one chapter and the opening of a new chapter feels so hope-giving to me.

I recently published my 100th post on this blog. An exciting milestone! After passing the big 100, I’ve found myself pondering why I’ve been doing this. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed the process of blogging. But it is a time consumer. It is effort. That effort made me spend some time thinking about the classic and vital question that should be regularly asked about any endeavor we spen

A note to my future self (and to whomever else this may concern 🙃): When you chew on questions like “should I go to the gym?” or “should I go for a run?”, almost always there’s at least some resistance you encounter which makes answering with a “yes” challenging. Often the inner monolog goes something like, “that’s too hard”, or “m

When everything appears to be working well, the most important question to ask is: “What could make this break ?” But, when everything seems to be broken, the most important question to ask is: “What needs to happen to make this work ?”

I’ve always tended to like math more than the average person. I was less a fan of arithmetic — the labour intensive process of adding, subtracting, multiplying, or dividing our way to an answer to a question that a calculator could figure out instantly. More so, I’ve tended to find myself intrigued by the tools that math gives us to help us understand the world better. Sometimes that i

How long would the devices you use day-to-day survive without internet access? We live in an internet-saturated world, so that question might feel silly. “My devices are basically always connected to the internet; why would I care how long they could last without it?” But, there are a few reasons that might be worth thinking about it. There are lots of situations where having a device

An independent game designer who has spent more than a decade making wonderfully strange experiments out of familiar video games, performance art, office work, Greek mythology, empty software projects and the simple question of what happens when you change the rules.

Judge Mehta dismissed publisher suits over AI Overviews. The harder question is whether search should still send us to the weird web.
-
Voyager's Emergency Medical Hologram remains one of the best stories about a tool that becomes something more — and why that question still matters for AI.
-
Apple Watch Series 12 Audio Intelligence listens inside a Secure Exclave. The architecture is not conventional recording, but Siri Recap still raises hard social questions.
-
A federal judge ruled the Anthropic blacklisting unlawful. The harder question is what “unlawful” means when consequences arrive before the courts.
-
Waymo co-CEO Dmitri Dolgov’s case for combining cameras, lidar and radar for driverless safety—where camera-only systems can improve quickly then hit a ceiling—while cost remains the open question for mass-market vehicles.
-
Bruce Schneier’s work-versus-gym framing for AI use—use tools when the result is the point, keep the struggle when the practice develops skill—and how that maps onto software work, writing, and still requiring reviewable output after trust questions are answered.
-
MIT Sloan coverage of research on AI financial guidance—showing models can give reasonable life-cycle advice when prompts include full finances and fiduciary framing, while incomplete questions and demographic stereotypes quietly worsen outcomes.
-
Michael Stonebraker and Peter Baile Chen argue LLMs are not ready to let anyone reliably query enterprise data in ordinary language—because the dangerous SQL runs successfully, returns plausible numbers, and answers the wrong question with the appearance of authority.
-
Hansinie Madushika Jayathilake and Renkai Ma review how children assign human traits to LLM chatbots—and why adults do the same—arguing the real question is whether companies deliberately encourage that attachment and what responsibilities come with it.
-
Jim Nielsen distinguishes the binary question of whether something works from the subjective question of whether it is good. I struggle to hold both modes at once, and maybe the answer is to make it work first, then switch modes and give it the care it needs.
-
Moonshot AI’s Kimi K3 scales mixture-of-experts sparsity to 16 of 896 experts. The interesting question is whether that many experts form distinct specialties and how reliably the router chooses among them.
-
Recurring major outages raise a harder question than home batteries: how a wealthy nation treats public infrastructure failure.

When investment-grade debt trades at junk yields, ambitions have not changed— only the market price of financing those ambitions has moved.
