Our very own @RLanceMartin outlined a new playbook for AI engineering on the High Signal Podcast. In this conversation, he touches on:
🔶 Why top products from Claude Code to Manus are constantly re-architecting to keep up with tomorrow's models
🔶 How to use context engineering to manage cost & reliability
🔶 Why evaluation for agents is critical (and why you should start simple)
🔶 The power of an "agent harness" to extend AI capabilities without adding complexity
.... And more! Check out the episode in the comments to hear more from @dsgilchrist@hugobowne and @RLanceMartin

I was at Amzn in 2000 when the internet bubble popped. Capital markets dried up & we were burning $1B/yr. Our biggest expense was datacenter -> expensive Sun servers. We spent a year ripping out Sun & replacing with HP/Linux, which formed the foundation for AWS. The backstory:
I caught daughter talking on a subject which indicated her interest in astronomy. I asked her how is it that I never knew she liked that topic, “if I told you, you would buy me books on planetary science, enroll me in a class, show me documentaries, I am only mildly interested”
This will go down in history as one of science and medical research's greatest achievements. Perhaps the most impressive.
I put together a preliminary timeline of some key milestones to show how several years of work were compressed into months.
The year is 1948. India is newly independent. You are from an elite family, who was just graduated from the Michigan state University, on Govt Scholarship and have come back to India.
You would think you life is all set and you are going to live happily ever after.
If you are actively monetizing a human addiction you really have to think hard about whether you are making the world a better or worse place. Humans regularly become addicted to products that are very harmful.
