Bridging the gap between retrieval and reasoning in agent memory
I’ve been reviewing papers on agent memory, since it’s one of the latest unsolved problems. Turns out there are multiple ways to take on this problem and I was hoping to summarise the most popular approaches, but there are too many and too extensive for a single post. So I’ll start with this one: bridging the gap between retrieval and reasoning.
It just can't prove it
I recently came across an article called Building the Chinese Room by SE Gyges. And it sucked me in. For real. It digs into John Searle’s famous thought experiment of the Chinese Room and argues that it’s fundamentally flawed. I went back and read Searle’s original 1980 paper to see for myself, and what happened next was unexpected: the more I read, the more I found myself disagreeing with everyone — Searle, Gyges, and at several points, myself. (Well actually, that is very me.)
Review of Kevin Mitnick's legendary book
I’ve read Kevin Mitnick’s The Art of Deception and so far my experience has been underwhelming.
A thought on how we've been abstracting ourselves away from development work
I’ve been seeing a change in the overall community’s opinion of vibe coding. I wasn’t able to accept a lot of it but now I surprisingly find it… alluring.
For this story, we’re going to be going through the years across patterns on how software was built.
A new leak tells us about how to properly code agents
On December 12th 2025, a tweet demonstrated that ChatGPT would deliver files from its home directory when asked.
Beyond security concerns, what does this reveal about OpenAI’s use of tools and agents for GPT 5.2 Thinking?
A new era of multimedia might be around the corner, and we're watching it happen
Aside from the jokes of the future one-single-corporation that runs every piece of media, I think we’ve all been surprised that Netflix has acquired Warner Bros., and while I have a lot of opinions on what that might mean for the multimedia world, there’s one aspect that has been brought up, not confirmed, that has been making the rounds on social networks.
A review on James Clear's book
I recently finished reading Atomic Habits, from James Clear, a long time recommendation I have been putting off. It definitely was a good recommendation, but maybe the expectation was a bit high for this one.
I ported Micrograd to Rust
You might remember that I was doing small applications in Rust to try out the language, learn about it and eventually become a pro at it. That’s… in progress. But in the meantime, I’ll tell you about which things I’m finishing up and I’m learning.
I ported Andrej Karpathy’s Micrograd into Rust, but then I took a few design choices of my own.
A spectrum of organization techniques
If you read this blog, you know I’m a productivity junkie. Yeah, I’m one of those that will test different organizations mechanisms, applications, and approaches to life and tasks. However, there are a few patterns I’ve been noticing over the years and here… sometimes, less is more.
How to choose, set up and use a personal media server
In the last few weeks, I set up my own media server to replace a particular service I did not want to pay anymore. It felt like a huge chore with lots of options but it’s not so difficult once you get into it.
Here’s my journey and hopefully it’s useful to you too.
