An alien just landed on earth and he brought along this incredible new technology — a unified computational engine that blurs the boundaries between processing (general compute, graphics, kernels) and RAM. It’s this weird thing with RAM actually attached to these tiny compute units that play forward in a network. Weirdest thing you ever saw. And you just… ## [MCPFlow: How to Let AI Rebuild Its Own Tools Mid-Conversation](http://lloyd.io/the-develop-proxy-how-to-let-ai-rebuild-its-own-tools-mid-conversation) _2026-03-16 · me@lloyd.io (Lloyd Hilaiel) · lloyd's blog_ Lloyd — Mar 16, 2026 There’s a moment in every AI-assisted development session where you hit the wall. Not the wall of what the model can do — the wall of what the tooling can do. You’re building something, the AI is cranking, everything is flowing. Then you realize you need to change the tool the AI is talking to. The server binary. The thing underneath. In a normal workflow, this is where the… ## [Maple](https://n8.engineer/maple) _2026-02-22 · n8.engineer_ "Maple" is a narrative poem first published in 1923 in Robert Frost's Pulitzer Prize-winning collection "New Hampshire". The poem is about a woman named Maple who spends her life trying to interpret the meaning behind her name.… ## [2025 Mastermind Group Performance](https://wlloydwilliams.substack.com/p/2025-mastermind-group-performance) _2026-01-12 · W.

It’s a question that sounds simple but reveals a fascinating tension at the heart of how large language models learn to code. The answer isn’t just “whatever has the most training data.” ## [How to Make 2026 Your Best Year Ever](https://wlloydwilliams.substack.com/p/how-to-make-2026-your-best-year-ever) _2025-12-17 · W.

Rather than operating as an autonomous engineer, the AI frequently functions like a learner driver, requiring the human operator to sit in a state of perpetual anxiety, ready to slam on the brakes at the first sign of… ## [Daddy, where did I come from?](https://n8.engineer/daddy-where-did-i-come-from) _2025-11-16 · n8.engineer_ Preface I wrote this for my daughter. I hope we get to talk about all of this together as she grows up — where she came from, where we came from, and how we think the whole universe came to be. But if something were to happen to me before she's old… ## [Stocks ranked by what execs say (Sponsored)](https://crawlproof.com/a/lBtyNhFXi2mB) _2025-11-15 · **Sponsored**_ Evidence-backed watchlists from earnings calls and filings, cited to real transcripts—not guesses. ## [How I bought a Frank Lloyd Wright house at 31](https://n8.engineer/how-i-bought-a-frank-lloyd-wright-house-at-31) _2025-11-13 · n8.engineer_ I own a home designed by Frank Lloyd Wright: the Goetsch–Winckler house, an early, pre-war Usonian built in 1940 for two women art professors located near Lansing, Michigan. I bought it in part to enjoy it, sure, but moreso with the intent to share… ## [Are my inane questions going to outer space?](http://lloyd.io/ais-great-compute-debate) _2025-11-07 · me@lloyd.io (Lloyd Hilaiel) · lloyd's blog_ Here’s a hot take on the future of AI compute. When you hear about Google’s Project Suncatcher—their actual moonshot research into solar-powered satellite constellations with onboard TPUs—it paints a vivid picture of one possible future. In that world, the demand for computation is so vast that we literally have to go off-planet to power it. It leads to a provocative question: a decade from now,… ## [The Genie is Out of the Bottle](http://lloyd.io/the-genie-is-out-of-the-bottle) _2025-09-06 · me@lloyd.io (Lloyd Hilaiel) · lloyd's blog_ You might prefer to engage this post as a conversation: Your browser does not support the audio element. Over the past few weeks, I’ve been reflecting on a growing tension at the heart of the AI discourse. Mustafa Suleyman, now leading AI at Microsoft, published a piece that raised eyebrows: a caution against anthropomorphizing models, and by extension, against entertaining the idea of “model… ## [Stop Building AI Into Everything](http://lloyd.io/stop-building-ai-into-everything) _2025-08-28 · me@lloyd.io (Lloyd Hilaiel) · lloyd's blog_ A couple days ago I finished a run and set the title in Strava—a moment later I was presented with a silly AI summary. Cute. Useless. And emblematic of a bigger trend: every product team is racing to bolt an AI assistant onto their surface. Meanwhile, the work I want done starts above any single app and crosses all of them. ## [Augment the Human, or the System?](http://lloyd.io/augment-the-human-or-the-system) _2025-08-15 · me@lloyd.io (Lloyd Hilaiel) · lloyd's blog_ When it comes to leveling up our human workers, we face a fundamental choice: do we give them tools to become more effective, or do we integrate those features directly into the systems they use? This isn’t just a theoretical question; it’s a practical dilemma with massive implications for the future of work, especially in critical fields like healthcare. The path we choose will determine the pace… ## [The End of Default Settings: How AI is Redefining Personal Computing](http://lloyd.io/end-of-default-settings-ai-redefining-personal-computing) _2025-08-13 · me@lloyd.io (Lloyd Hilaiel) · lloyd's blog_ I’ve been tinkering with Linux since the mid-90s, starting with a Slackware DVD and the painstaking process of installing, and reinstalling, and reinstalling again. 💿 For decades, the promise of a truly custom computing environment has been a siren song for developers like me, offering total control at the cost of a steep, often frustrating, learning curve. The power to build a digital workspace… ## [The Next Agentic Milestone: Beach Agents](http://lloyd.io/the-next-agentic-milestone-beach-agents) _2025-07-27 · me@lloyd.io (Lloyd Hilaiel) · lloyd's blog_ 🌴 The term “AI agent” is everywhere, but what does it really mean? In a landscape cluttered with buzzwords like “super agents” and “ambient computing,” the word has been stretched to the point of becoming almost meaningless. It’s time to cut through the noise and establish a clearer, more precise way to understand and categorize the semi-autonomous systems we’re building. Instead of getting lost… ## [Why Perceived Value Has Failed the Investor](https://wlloydwilliams.substack.com/p/why-perceived-value-has-failed-the) _2025-07-17 · W. Lloyd Williams · W.

This more advanced functionality is available through a premium Nest Aware plan. The first time it… ## [Make any domain metal (Sponsored)](https://crawlproof.com/a/FvT00Uvm2tV7) _2025-02-24 · **Sponsored**_ Turn any domain into a blacked-out metal landing page with an email waitlist ## [On violating international trade law](https://n8.engineer/on-violating-international-trade-law) _2025-01-14 · n8.engineer_ It was just like any other Thursday afternoon... well, except that I had accidentally violated U.S. foreign trade sanctions and, in so doing, may have inadvertently sponsored terrorism. Whoops ¯ \_(ツ)\_/¯.

I ventured to do the same. This… ## [Né Buchar: Why I took my wife's last name](https://n8.engineer/why-i-took-my-wifes-last-name) _2025-01-09 · n8.engineer_ I've been Nate Meyer for two years.
