Analysis and synthesis are two sides of human intelligence. Current form of generative artificial intelligence is very powerful in synthesizing information and producing artifacts, human will lose this battle. Understanding is about analyzi

Ideas are seeds. Seeds can be cheap or expensive, but perhaps what we want to talk about is not the _cost_ of ideas but the _value_ of ideas. The correlation between cost and value can be very complicated, especially in the chaotic world (o

This would be a cool template project to learn C++ without the pollution of LLM slop.

By "embracing" I mean embracing the coming storm and survive it, facing the challenge and admit it is not magically going away.

I couldn’t help but notice the similarities between human aging and “filling up” the context window in Agentic AI: the “chain of thoughts” getting so heavy that nothing new can be created. On the other hand, there was lot of disruptive work

What I love most about your project is the super clean Makefile ( https://github.com/imtomt/ymawky/blob/main/Makefile ). It is a great template to jump start an ARM64 assembly project. I made a self docume

Some people must be working on training some models exclusively on high quality OSS code base like curl and SQLite without the noise of low quality training data. I would do that with 100% local models from scratch.

My point is pi-coding-agent [1] is a very well designed and implemented open source project that we all can learn from as software engineers. His blog post about his decision making [2] is also very well written. I should've given orig
