Stop writing rules in AGENTS.md: use agent hooks and nano-staged instead—Martian Chronicles, Evil Martians’ team blog
Move LLM safeguards out of AGENTS.md: how agent hooks plus nano-staged run linters on changed files only, cut tokens, and tighten the agent's feedback loop
Can AI reduce burdens on courts by automatically verifying citations? - CITP Blog
Fabricated case citations generated by AI are appearing in court filings at an accelerating rate. Combined with other tracking efforts, we have identified over 1,000 filings containing hallucinated citations from self-represented (pro se) litigants and lawyers alike.
Prompt Engineering Isn’t Enough — I Built a Control Layer That Works in Production | Towards Data Science
Most LLM failures in production aren’t random — they’re predictable. I kept hitting broken JSON, silent failures, and outages that froze my entire app. Prompt engineering didn’t fix it. So I built a control layer above the model — and took structured output reliability from 0% to 100% without changing a single prompt.
Agent Skills Work but the Research Shows Most Teams Are Building Them Wrong
Everybody is building agent skills, but not all skills are created equal. Here are some recent research papers that empirically show best practices to build them.
A coding agent is the model plus everything you build around it. Harness engineering treats that scaffolding as a real artifact, and it tightens every time the agent slips.
AI Artifact Catalogs: Durable Standards Worth Institutional Investment
Companies everywhere are trying to leverage AI to boost internal productivity metrics. Some, like Ramp and Intercom, are succeeding. Many are failing.To
Generative AI in the Real World: Chang She on Data Infrastructure for AI
As a pandas core contributor and early Parquet adopter who built AI data pipelines at streaming company Tubi TV, Chang She saw firsthand why the traditional data stack breaks down for AI workloads—and founded LanceDB to fix it. Chang joined Ben Lorica to explain why vector databases are too narrow a solution for modern AI …
I just sat in a room full of data engineers the other week who were worrying about AI automating them out of work the same way auto manufacturing in Detroit
Been running local models as part of my daily workflow for a while now, and what surprised me most is how often local turned out to be the better choice, not a compromise.
Nearly once a week I receive an email from a different stranger. The messages are eerily similar. The sender has developed an unusual relationship with an AI gained over many hours of interactions. The AI has given them extraordinary insight … Continue reading →
