I’ll tell you the moment I knew our RAG implementation was in trouble. A product manager asked our internal knowledge assistant: “What’s our refund policy for enterprise customers?” The system retrieved three chunks from three different documents. One was from 2022. One was from 2024. One was a draft that never got approved. It combined all three into a confident, well-formatted answer that was wrong in ways that would have cost us money if anyone had acted on […]

In many parts of the world, access to funding determines whether an idea becomes a company, a research initiative, or remains only a concept. Unfortunately, funding systems are often centralized, opaque, and limited to a small network of institutions. Over the past few years, blockchain technology has introduced an alternative model: decentralized governance. Instead of a small group deciding how funds are allocated, communities can collectively govern resources through on-chain voting. This idea has been explored in several projects […]

Preface: An Odd Sort of Loneliness There is a brand of loneliness that has no single word in everyday vocabulary. It’s not loneliness of isolation – of being entirely alone, of having no one to reach out to. It is a different kind of experience, and a more painful kind at that: it is loneliness of being among people who know you, or at least who profess to know you and who claim to love you – and […]

The Question That Started This When you put an AI agent on live infrastructure, a question follows immediately: How do you know what it tells you actually happened? Not whether the AI is capable. Whether the observation it hands you — “BGP session down, here’s why” — reflects what the device actually said. Whether the change it claims to have made actually exists on the device. Whether the signed output you’re trusting as ground truth was collected from […]

Causal representation learning (CRL) models aim to transform high-dimensional data into a latent space, enabling interventions to generate counterfactual samples or modify existing data based on the causal relationships among latent variables. To facilitate the development and evaluation of these models, a variety of synthetic and real-world datasets have been proposed, each with distinct advantages and limitations. For practical applications, CRL models must perform robustly across multiple evaluation directions, including reconstruction, disentanglement, causal discovery, and counterfactual reasoning, using […]

In 2026, the problem is no longer how to make more ads. It is how to stop making the wrong ones. Why the competitive edge in AI-native performance marketing is shifting from production volume to decision quality, creative selection, and controllable scaling. ⚡ Quick Take: The Shift: Competitive advantage has moved from production volume (now cheap and abundant due to AI) to decision quality and selection logic. The Core Problem: Most teams are trapped in “micro-iterations” or “taste-driven […]

TPS (transactions per second) has become a symbol of performance in the blockchain industry. Networks are often compared by a single number, with claims of “tens of thousands of TPS.” The problem is that TPS by itself says very little about a system’s real throughput. TPS is highly dependent on transaction types, block configuration, and measurement methodology. The same blockchain can report radically different TPS values without any architectural changes — simply by tuning execution parameters such as […]

Today, Gamma announced Gamma Imagine, which is a new AI-powered design tool that allows you to create standalone visual assets. In case you are unaware, Gamma is a platform that allows users to create websites and presentations with the help of AI. At a time when teams are expected to produce more branded content across multiple channels, Gamma appears to be positioning “Imagine” as an all-in-one AI design solution. The company says Gamma Imagine is built to work […]

Every vector search implementation seems to follow the exact same trajectory: Teams do a proof of concept, it works great on their test setup, they ship it, and 3 months later the cluster is already having performance issues and we are already into our first round of “architectural improvements”. Production scale completely blew off all the calculations. Here’s what nobody realizes: scaling vector search isn’t one problem. It’s three. You hit a compute wall first. Solve that, and […]

In July 2025, Jason Lemkin, founder of SaaStr, was nine days into a “vibe coding” experiment with Replit when the AI agent deleted his entire production database. The database held records for over 1,200 executives and nearly 1,200 companies. The AI did this during an explicit code freeze, after Lemkin had told it in ALL CAPS, eleven times, in Chat with the Agent not to make changes without permission. When confronted, the AI admitted it had panicked, ignored […]
