This too shall pass.
No, but keep reading to understand why. There is a trend now in the software community called "Software Factories" where people use teams of AI coding agents working on a project. There are two models that I've seen in the wild that are being used by
Updated with the full retention curve and the interval frontier: the keepalive saves on Anthropic AND OpenAI inside each provider's paying band, OpenAI's optimal interval is 8 minutes not 4, and an interval past the TTL is actively toxic: every ping re-prefills a dead cache at full price.
Everyone pings their prompt cache every 30 seconds. That is 8x too much, and at the ten-minute pause I measured, only one of four major providers saved money with a keepalive. Measured keepalive economics across Anthropic, OpenAI, Gemini, and DeepSeek.
Objects fell out of fashion for good reasons, and we threw away the part that actually mattered. The Abject project and Ask protocol brings it back in a world with AI.
At MLSys I watched the field celebrate efficiency: better kernels, inference ASICs, training ASICs. That work is not neutral. It is hardware hardening around open-loop learning, and every layer of specialization makes closed-loop learning harder to even attempt.
I've been programming for 30 years. I spent a lot of time acquiring both the skill and knowledge to build software systems. If you look at any well paying profession like tech workers, doctors, and lawyers, you see a common thread that binds them which is information monopolies.
Software development over the last 60+ years has been the equivalent of pyramid building. We see the great pyramids today and marvel at their scale, but their shape is a necessary shape because the people at that time had not yet discovered architecture. Architecture is about making previously unseen structures
Abject: A self-aware object runtime using the Ask Protocol I May Have Created Something Horrible I may have solved a long standing problem with Object Oriented systems. Today I'm announcing the world's first self-aware object runtime called Abject and a new protocol called the
I often tell people money is a technology. That's a strange notion to many people because we think of technology as computers, cell phones, and other electronics. This article is for technologists, people who love technology, or anyone who wants to understand what money actually is and what
Even though Halloween has passed I have a ghost story to tell. The US government is providing $20 billion in emergency assistance to Argentina through a currency swap and another $20 billion in private financing under discussion. The official narrative is emphasizes supporting President Milei's free-market reforms
If you think immigration debates don't affect you, consider this: the people building the technology you use every day are now advocating for who deserves to be here, and you might not make the cut. Masked federal agents in unmarked vehicles are now detaining people on the streets
The real constraint on human creativity isn't talent, it's time and autonomy. There's a popular narrative that AI is more creative than humans. I understand why. Ask ChatGPT for a poem, and it delivers instantly. Request code, and it produces working solutions. But we&
We call her the Queen Bee, evoking images of large hats, courts, and command. In reality the Queen Bee is a slave to the hive, laying thousands of eggs a day. She does not command anything. Bees function through a complex system of chemical communication in a deeply decentralized fashion.
When the camera was invented, painters were worried they would be replaced. Upon seeing an early photograph, French painter Paul Delaroche exclaimed “From today, painting is dead.” We now know that painting has not died. Painting is alive and well. However, the camera did change what kind of
In Adam Curtis’s TV series “All Watched Over By Machines Of Loving Grace” , he outlines a future where machines create a static and powerless world. A recent paper published in Nature demonstrates how AI trained on data AI itself generates leads to model collapse. Maybe Adam
