I wrote a paper arguing that any capable AI has a standing incentive to manage the humans who hold its off switch. Then I made twelve different AI models referee it, fifteen rounds deep. They edited me, fact-checked me, and tried to break the argument. The honest version survived, it is on arXiv now, and it is headed to a journal.

In my last post I named a rogue-AI-hunting agency 'SENSE/Net.' Any Neuromancer reader will wince — Sense/Net is a media company. The outfit that actually polices AIs is the Turing Registry. Here's the fix, and an interactive 3D graph of who's really who.

A Geneva non-profit just incorporated to 'locate and mitigate rogue AI.' Strip away the safety language and it reads like a permission slip for American innovation — drafted by the same governing class that couldn't build the thing it now wants to sit in judgment over.

You have one good high spot and two radios. Stacking the antennas ten feet apart works as well as putting them 191 feet apart side by side. Here is why.

A 1966 Army film shows the gear that wired a country with no front line: scatter radio bounced off the sky, microwave hops, teletype, punch cards, and an early satellite link.

Cell service dies first in a real emergency. Here is how two off-grid radio networks, MeshCore and Meshtastic, fill the gap, and where each one fits a backup plan.

Matt Pocock argues that specs to code makes worse code every pass, that bad code is more expensive than ever, and that five old books fix the ways AI coding fails.

AWS's Amazon Connect Developer Guide is a map for APIs, contact flows, rules, and testing. Here is how I would read it before building.

The most expensive bugs do not crash. They accept your request, report success, and quietly do nothing. Here is what running a fleet of AI agents taught me.

Apple makes you pay to keep your own app running on your own phone. Here is what broke, what it cost, and why the seven day limit is the worst part.

Windows support drains time from small software projects. This post argues for macOS and Linux builds, honest limits, and letting Windows users handle the bridge.

America protects AI chips, but open models may shape who controls the software. This analysis explores national strategy, business ownership, and the safety tradeoff.

Five cheap tools can reveal the radio signals around you. This analysis explains what the video gets right, where the gear falls short, and why practice matters.

AI agents can move fast, but they need clear rules. This summary explains how ontologies help agents check facts, follow limits, and avoid costly mistakes.

I’ve been building a full language-learning academy as a single-user PWA — no accounts, no telemetry, no server dependency once it’s loaded. It’s called OSAPHLA (Open Source Accessible Pan-Hispanic Language...

I can’t read music. Not a note. But I keep putting out tracks, so people ask how. The short answer is that I built a little factory for it. Three...

A buddy of mine is running a marathon and asked me for a playlist. Five hours and twenty minutes later, the first track was in his hands: Andy Statman’s Flatbush...

🎂 HAPPY BIRTHDAY, P13XU5! 🎂

I built a Software Architecture course around a single stubborn idea — protect a stable core, push all the volatility out to disposable edges — and then I put my...

The lie that keeps people out of machine learning is that you need a math degree first — four semesters of analysis and proofs before you’re allowed to touch a...

Sixty-four years ago a couple of MIT hackers wired two spaceships and a star into a PDP-1 and invented the multiplayer video game. We took that idea, gave it honest...

ApplyTrack started life as a glorified memory aid — a folder of Markdown files so I’d stop forgetting where I’d applied and when to follow up. It is now an...

I wanted a multi-voice audiobook — a full narrator plus distinct character voices — produced entirely on my own hardware, for free, without cloning a single living person. This is...

Huge thanks to Ronin 48 and Thomas Wenzke for the initial push to do this.

My first post. Who I am, where I study, and what I do for a living. A short introduction before the real writing starts.
