Conventional macroeconomic frameworks—whether neoclassical, Keynesian, or monetarist—cannot explain persistent policy failures across developed economies. This paper presents the Productive Capacity Theory of Money: money is created through debt backed by huma…
SSE sucks I’m just going to cut to the chase here. SSE as a transport mechanism for LLM tokens is naff. It’s not that it can’t work, obviously it can, because people are using it and SDKs are built around it. But it’s not a great fit for the problem space. The…
Why mastering fundamentals before using AI coding tools is the difference between wielding power and being wielded by it
Historically there have been very simple prompts that LLMs struggled with disproportionately compared to the areas in which they excel. The early versions of ChatGPT struggled with very simple one-step logical deduction. But that is no …
Earlier this year, I was amazed by agentic AI coding with Claude Sonnet 3.7. The term "vibe coding" hadn't been coined yet, but that's exactly what I was doing—letting AI generate code while I steered the conversation. It felt magical. Until it didn't.
I own nothing related to the ‘Uno’ trademark. Please do not destroy me, Mattel
I made HuggingFace tokenizers 3.3x faster by parallelizing single-input tokenization with overlapping chunks, zero-copy offset operations, SIMD-accelerated boundary detection, and cache-hierarchy-aware chunking. The result is bit-identical to serial encoding. …

Hi, it’s Takuya. Last week I had my birthday and turned 41 (November 19th). When I was younger, I could never really picture what life in my 40s would look like. It’s this vague age where you don’t have a clear image of how you’re supposed
Group intelligence is worth talking about
A prototype is a sketch of a possible thing. A prototype can be an exploration: it materializes and hones intuition. It generates hypotheses. Its unboundedness is strength and danger. A prototype can be an argument: it articulates a gap between the …
A World Model is an AI's internal representation of cause and effect. Not memorized facts, but learned dynamics. A robot with a World Model can predict "if I...

Lately, I started seeing more and more replies to the juniors where they shouldn’t try to build something themselves but instead use off the shelf solution.
Trying to elaborate on why I feel increasingly disconnected from tech and by tech, and why this isn't just some passing sense of fatigue.
Every software team has faced this familiar dilemma: should we build it fast, or build it right? Agile promises a way to do both, but let's be honest, in practice it's like walking a tightrope. On one side is the rush to deliver something now; on the other, th…
My perspective on how college hackathons are drifting from their original purpose, and how AI is changing what participants build and how they learn.
The amortized daily cost represents how much I've spent per day to own each item. It is calculated by dividing the purchase price by the number of days owned. If I were to, say, lose an item, this metric is roughly the amount that I paid to ow…
A friendly case study of a command injection in fmt::say, how it was fixed, and how impact and exposure shape severity
A year ago I decided to help build a service business for my mom because I wanted to learn about marketing and business. One of the largest blindspots engineers have is around sales and marketing. I was determined to not fall into this trap, but marketing seem…

We are losing something precious in the age of LLMs: our unique voices.
Google's new Antigravity IDE spurred much developer debate focusing heavily on its apparent status as a Visual Studio Code fork, with developers debating why another fork is needed, what it means for the VS Code ecosystem, and how open source reuse, lock-in, a…
