Before running our own repo trial, here's what the published record already says — pricing, SWE-bench and agentic-tool scores, and a hard look at whether self-hosting open-weight GLM-5.2 actually beats paying for a hosted API.

Three videos landed in my watch-later this week — one on what's happening inside a model, one on whether AI is really discovering new maths, and one furious rant about running models at home. Together they draw the most honest map of AI I've seen all year.

A practical walk-through of retrieval-augmented generation — chunking, embeddings, vector search, and grounding — and the design decisions that separate a demo from something you can actually trust.

Service-oriented architecture routes execution; data-oriented architecture routes meaning. A look at designing systems around the data itself — its relationships, interpretation, and reuse — rather than the calls between applications.

A song is a journey in eight movements — hook, verse, build, drop, and back again. A practical outline for getting from a first idea to a finished track, and the craft hiding inside each section.

Explore our complete t-shirt collection featuring iconic album artwork, space-inspired designs, and nature-themed illustrations. From the #SAME album cover to the delicate Night Bloom Hummingbird, each piece tells a unique story.

A complete, GPU-accelerated development environment that brings professional AI/ML capabilities to your fingertips. Whether you're experimenting with LLMs, training neural networks, or building AI applications, Carbon provides everything you need in a ready-to-run Docker container.

A look back at the 2013 'Future Organisation' diagram and the patent that anticipated modern AI architectures — how early thinking on data, IP, and relationships predicted the era of intelligent systems.

How do you transform complex systems? By moving seven critical needles: Viscosity, Friction, Automation, Immediacy, Niche, Governance, and Learning. An evidence-based approach to understanding and navigating the latent space between current state and desired outcomes.

After three decades in technology, I've seen methodologies rise and fall. Most projects fail, but all journeys complete. Push is a philosophy that prioritises waypoints over milestones, shared value over ceremony, and the creative journey over forced timelines.

Creating a powerful markdown editor with VS Code's Monaco editor, custom widgets for data visualization, and support for embeds, code highlighting, and Azure DevOps Wiki syntax.

Exploring browser-based retro gaming emulation using EmulatorJS and WebAssembly. Learn the technical architecture, performance considerations, and implementation patterns for running classic games in the browser.

Exploring SSH3, a modern approach to secure remote access built on QUIC and HTTP/3, offering faster handshakes, better reliability, and cloud-native compatibility.

Understanding and optimizing tokenisation for large language models. Learn how different tokenisers work, count tokens accurately, and optimize your prompts for better performance and cost efficiency.
