You do not need a big AI setup to get value

You do not need a big AI setup to get value The most useful AI workflow I have is one file. A short AGENTS.md contract that tells the agent how to behave in my repo. No framework. No prompt library. No fine tuning. Just a list of rules the agent reads before it starts. You would be surprised how much bad behavior disappears when the first thing your agent reads is a list of things you will not…

Compression Is Prediction — and It Explains Why LLMs Actually Work

Here's something that blew my mind recently: compression and language modeling are, at their core, trying to solve the exact same problem.

LLMs function as advanced compression algorithms predicting next data in sequence
Training minimizes cross-entropy loss, reducing bits to encode training data
Improved compression methods enhance LLM performance and expand capabilities
