From Coder to Manager: Navigating the Shift to Agentic Engineering with Notion Co-Founder Simon Last

Notion's Co-Founder, Simon Last, discusses their evolution from a writing assistant to a platform for custom AI agents. He covers the technical hurdles of semantic indexing, the internal shift toward using coding agents to build Notion, and the fundamental transition from a tool where humans do the work to one where humans manage a swarm of agents.

The Department of War is making a huge mistake.

The Department of War is making a huge mistake.

An analysis of the conflict between Anthropic and the US Department of War, exploring its implications for AI alignment, regulation, and the future of mass surveillance. The author argues that while Anthropic's stance is commendable, the structural nature of AI favors authoritarianism, making societal norms and specific laws—not broad regulatory bodies—the only viable defense for a free society.

Why AI Engineers Need to Understand GPU Hardware (with Chris Fregly)

Why AI Engineers Need to Understand GPU Hardware (with Chris Fregly)

Chris Fregly, author of 'AI Systems Performance Engineering', explains that true performance gains in AI come not from raw compute but from a deep, holistic understanding of the entire hardware and software stack. He emphasizes that memory bandwidth is the most critical GPU metric and introduces the concept of 'mechanical sympathy'—the co-design of hardware, software, and algorithms—as the key to unlocking efficiency and overcoming modern bottlenecks.
