Permanence Was an Accident
Why we kept source code for seventy years, and what agents just dissolved.…
Current Pens
Showing a comparison of a few different bands and how they write on a dotted A5 page of my Leuchtturm1917 notebook…
Git for Cognition
We consider an agent a few dozen turns deep, forked a hundred ways from one decision point. Which version-control verbs survive contact with a mind ... and which ones don't.…
The Turing Gradient
Whether AI 'passes' the Turing Test is the wrong question. The right one is which judges it passes for... and what that reveals about the rest of us.…
Chasing Bit-Equality Through a Wasm Actor Runtime
An investigation into bit-reproducible snapshot/restore for stateful Wasm actors, and the two-tier contract that emerged.…
Judgement, not Method
Against both "AI hype" and "AI purity" ... and toward the older, harder question about what makes any piece of work worth standing behind.…
Zero-Copy GPU Inference from WebAssembly on Apple Silicon
A WebAssembly module's linear memory can be shared directly with the Apple Silicon GPU: no copies, no serialization, no intermediate buffers. Here's how the zero-copy chain works, what we measured, and what it enables for stateful AI inference.…
Agents Need Environments, Not Just Memories
Current agents can remember. They cannot inherit themselves. The third post in a series on agent architecture argues that the missing layer isn't better memory — it's a persistent, evaluable environment where an agent's past work remains live, callable, and composable.…
Slow Bloom: a meditation app that doesn't want anything from you
A meditative garden for iOS with no notifications, no analytics, and no interest in your attention. Tap to gather light. Grow flora. Watch the numbers fade as beauty emerges.…
Making Concurrency Visible: Gerbil Playground v1.2
Gerbil Playground v1.2 adds an actor message log that makes concurrency visible: watch spawned threads exchange messages in real time. Plus ... embeddable mode for dropping live REPLs into documentation, a mobile layout, and resizable panes.…
A Playground for Gerbil Scheme
Gerbil Scheme compiles to native code, and has an actor-oriented concurrency mode. Here's trygerbil.dev: a browser-based REPL backed by real containers, with session persistence, guided examples, and a replay system that survives container sleep.…
What It Means for an Agent to Think About Its Own Actions
Current agent frameworks treat tool definitions as inert data the model can't reason about. The fix isn't a better format, it's a representational property called homoiconicity, and it changes what agents are capable of becoming.…
