The moment when technology stops feeling new and starts feeling heavier There is a point in your career where technology stops feeling exciting in the way it once did. Early in our careers, every new tool feels like an opportunity, every skill feels like progress, and every change in the industry feels like something we are eager to chase. Somewhere in the middle of the journey, that feeling shifts. New technology still matters, but now it arrives alongside […]

TL;DR I tested 112 Product Hunt startups with 2,240 queries across ChatGPT and Perplexity. The results challenge conventional wisdom about “Generative Engine Optimization” (GEO): The Discovery Gap: ChatGPT recognizes 99% of products directly but recommends only 3% organically (30:1 ratio) GEO doesn’t work (yet): Zero correlation between GEO optimization and ChatGPT discovery Traditional SEO wins: Backlinks (r=+0.32) and Reddit presence (r=+0.40) are the strongest predictors Full paper: arXiv:2601.00912 n Code & Data:GitHub The Problem: ChatGPT Visibility for Startups […]

Every AI-powered iOS app starts with the same assumption: “We’ll just call the AI API and show the result.” That assumption works — right up until real users, real devices, and real constraints enter the system. AI demos look simple. Production AI on iOS is not. This article is about what breaks when AI is treated as a regular API call — and what iOS engineers inevitably learn when shipping AI-powered features to real users. The Mental Model […]

Candide de Copilot In a century where dashboards replace stained glass and algorithms preach sermons, Candide wanders through clouds, Silicon Valley, Davos, and quantum labs, asking naïve yet devastating questions: If machines think for us, what remains for humans? Can optimization cheat death? Can AGI write a constitution for intentions it does not have? This tale, sharpened with irony and polished with paradox, exposes our cult of metrics, our dream of perfect convergence, and our terror of imperfection. […]

For years, markets were trained to react to loud signals. Rate hikes, stimulus announcements, earnings surprises, geopolitical shocks — anything visible, quantifiable, and immediate shaped expectations and positioning. But the environment we are entering looks very different. Many of the forces shaping economic outcomes today are quiet, gradual, and difficult to price. They do not arrive as breaking news. They accumulate. And because they lack drama, they are often underestimated until their effects become unavoidable. This shift helps […]

Not everything is about saving time. It’s about solving a real problem and things that matter. Everywhere you look, someone’s building an AI tool to save you time. There’s an app to plan your meals, one to write your emails, another to manage your money automatically. It’s all supposed to make life effortless. But lately, I’ve started to wonder if effort itself is the point. A few years ago, I set up a budgeting app that tracked everything. […]

If you work in cybersecurity, you are intimately familiar with the phone call. The one that comes at 3 AM or in the middle of a planned vacation. The one where a panicked voice describes a network that’s been compromised, data that’s been exfiltrated, or systems that have been encrypted. Your job, in that moment, is not to ask why. It is to clean up the mess. This article is about what happens after the technical incident is […]

Natural language(NL) enables a lay person to communicate in writing with a machine. Allowances are made for creole language(if that is widely used), multiple languages can be leveraged, spelling and grammatical mistakes are not hurdles and slangs are ok. This allows a potential borrower to have a conversation with a bank of his/her choice. Today, in our lab, we are working on NL as a key tool to address the complexities of multilingual Asian markets, especially rural and […]
