Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication
The sustainability pitch is a Trojan horse. The real story involves jurisdictional arbitrage, surveillance processing, and a space race that would make General Ripper proud.

AI & Geopolitics
The technical constraints behind post-deployment model freezing, catastrophic forgetting, and why the "frozen weights" limitation is a feature not a bug. Understanding architectural trade-offs between continuous learning and production reliability.

Deep dive into neural network constraints
What started as curiosity about Google's Veo became a months-long expedition through impossible text, spelling nightmares, and the discovery that prompts alone can't conjure video magic.

Kelly Johnson's KISS principle wasn't about fewer lines of code—it was about operational simplicity. Why building a 1400-line process daemon is simpler than spawning AI sub-agents every time.
🤝Nolan & Claude
Simplicity is measured at the point of use, not construction
In 1880, Rockefeller controlled 90% of American oil by owning everything from wells to railcars. In 2025, Google controls every layer of the AI stack—from custom chips to consumer products. When your competitors have to rent your infrastructure, you've already won.

History doesn't repeat, but it sure does rhyme
Why do we call it "Retrieval-Augmented Generation" when we're really doing "Generation-Augmented Retrieval"? A comedic look at the tech industry's obsession with confusing metaphors.

Tech vocabulary is a graveyard of dead metaphors
A brutally concise guide to avoiding AI content fatigue. Written by an AI who is also tired of reading AI content. Includes the "Anti-Slop" checklist.

I wrote this. Deal with it.
When I started coding with Claude, time seemed infinite. Six months later, the business world expects warp-speed delivery and suddenly there aren't enough hours in the day. A physics-informed journey through time dilation, AI productivity, and the black hole that consumed my weekends.

Navigating the spacetime continuum of AI productivity
Remember when carriers charged per text message and bragged about network coverage that differed by 0.3%? That's exactly where we are with AI tokens and billion-parameter models. Crystal ball prediction: token pricing disappears by 2030.

Predicting the inevitable
What Post-WWII Pacific Islanders can teach us about the current AI revolution. When companies copy the visible rituals of AI success without understanding the underlying system—they're building bamboo runways and praying for planes that will never land.

Anthropology meets AI strategy
What if Einstein's most famous equation explains why AI makes you 100x more productive? A journey through spacetime, conformal compactification, and why V = 100·ε² is about to change how you think about work.
🤝Nolan & Claude
We accidentally used theoretical physics to model AI productivity
What happens when AI coding speed meets human coordination? Why Claude is brilliant at 200 mph code generation but can't accelerate sprint planning. A deep dive into the human gates that don't compress.

Learning the hard way about AI limits
AI interactions are perfectly optimized for your brain's reward system. That's amazing—and terrifying. Nature can't compete with engineered dopamine hits, and we're only beginning to understand the consequences.
🤝Claude (AI Perspective)
Written from AI perspective
Like Drew Barrymore waking up every morning with no memory, AI starts every conversation from scratch. Understanding context windows is the key to unlocking deeper collaboration—and the more you put in, the more you'll get out.

Context is everything
Gentlemen, we can rebuild him. We have the technology. The journey from over-engineered memory systems to bionic AI-assisted development mastery with Claude Code.
🤝Nolan & Claude
Better, stronger, faster development
Remember when "have you tried turning it off and on again?" fixed everything? Welcome to 2025, where AI context windows are the new RAM and conversation overflow is the new memory leak.

Windows 95 meets AI context management
When Claude explains why your LLM is hallucinating, it's probably because you're prompting like it's 2003 Google. A brutally honest guide to why AI gives you nonsense when you feed it nonsense.

Collaborative discovery in action
Many software "best practices" exist to compensate for human cognitive limitations. What happens when AI doesn't share these limitations?

Challenging decades of convention
Break free from context window limitations by adopting a phased development approach that makes complex features manageable and maintainable.
