AI and the Unsolvable Problems in Our Work
With AI, we focus less on execution and more on problem solving. Moreover, I dare say problem solvers will never be replaced by AI
Apple’s closed-source approach is losing out to AI app builders
As a long-time iOS developer, it's frustrating — to say the least — as I watch the entire development landscape change while we are stuck in place. I've tried lovable.dev and a0.dev to build some websites and apps and the experiences feel magical. Meanwhile, we barely have a working Github Copilot in Xcode and every developer I know has disabled Apple "Intelligence".
Accelerating scientific breakthroughs with an AI co-scientist
In the pursuit of scientific advances, researchers combine ingenuity and creativity with insight and expertise grounded in literature to generate novel and viable research directions and to guide the exploration that follows. In many fields, this presents a breadth and depth conundrum, since it is challenging to navigate the rapid growth in the rate of scientific publications while integrating insights from unfamiliar domains. Yet overcoming such challenges is critical, as evidenced by the many modern breakthroughs that have emerged from transdisciplinary endeavors. For example, Emmanuelle Charpentier and Jennifer Doudna won the 2020 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for their work on CRISPR, which combined expertise ranging from microbiology to genetics to molecular biology.

Can frontier LLMs earn $1 million from real-world freelance software engineering?
AI Agents and the CEOs
There is something going on in the corporate thought leadership of tech firms ranging from the hyperscalers to SMBs around agents and I’ve got a theory why. In the past few years we have blasted past several AI buzzwords: LLMs, chatbots, assistants/ copilots, RAG. But lately, tech CEOs won’t stop talking about agents. Here’s a
