Grok Build, or the Day the CLI Became a Standard
xAI shipped Grok Build this week — same AGENTS.md, same MCP, same Skills, same plugins, same hooks. The interface just became a standard. The war moves to the model.
Codex Mobile, About a Release Quarter Late
OpenAI shipped Codex inside the ChatGPT mobile app, about a release quarter after Anthropic's Claude Code Remote. The surface caught up fast. The execution boundary is where the real argument lives.
Final NAD+ Adjustment
The NAD+ protocol moves to 100mg Wed-Sun AM: same 500mg weekly exposure, 60% lower per-session peak, cleaner timing, simpler hardware, and a monitoring window to prove it.
Claude for Legal Is Claude Code Wearing a Suit
Anthropic's May 12 launch matters less as a chatbot than as a connector-driven agent stack for legal work. Plugins, MCP connectors, Microsoft 365, Managed Agents — the architectural lineage matters more than the demo.
Sinapt: The Architecture Before the Code
After three Sinapt manifestos, the architecture has answers. Two layers locked: retrieval and contract surfaces. The PoC has not run. Dogfood has not run. Not a victory lap — but the architecture has stopped being hand-wavy where hand-wavy kills the product.
La muerte y el día de la madre
Belgrado, Villa de Leyva, una colina con un Cristo blanco en la cima. Lo que Snežana dejó funcionando, y lo que se hereda cuando la madre llegó entera.
SaaSpocalypse
Wall Street saw $285 billion vanish in a 24-hour SaaSpocalypse. The version on my desk has been quieter — JetBrains canceled today, finance app gone last quarter, half the subscription drawer empty in a year. The user-developer collapse is personal first.
Above the Model
The model is not the bottleneck anymore. The plumbing is well-known. What separates teams shipping transformative AI from teams shipping generic slop is a stack of less-discussed components: context, dreaming, sycophancy mitigation, verification, memory. The operator's manual.
MCP, From Pidgin to Protocol
Before MCP, every AI integration was its own pidgin — improvised, simplified, just enough to get one client talking to one tool. Five floors from the first shared word to a real protocol: what MCP is, when to use it, every server worth running, the failure modes teams hit.
RAG, From Crayons to PhD
Five floors of understanding: a kid version, an engineer version, a tools-and-cases version, an advanced version, a PhD version. By the end you'll know what RAG is, when to use it, when to run, every tool worth caring about, and the hot takes most posts won't tell you.
Day 11: Best Night, Best Numbers, Worst Rush
Day 11 of the protocol. First seven-plus-hour sleep in the entire dataset. New HRV ceiling, weight a kilogram and a half down, blood pressure dialed in. Then the morning NAD+ pulse hit harder at half the dose than the original at full dose.
BDI 2: What the Intake Strip Did to My Sleep Data in One Night
Yesterday's nasal-strip article promised the Oura the next morning would be the discriminator. The discriminator landed. BDI dropped 67%, SpO₂ jumped 5.5 percentage points — both the best readings in the three-week dataset. Plus the awkward complication.
