How do you know an AI project is real? You know it's real when you watch it run. That's the idea behind ShipAI, which is live on TDS today.

TL;DR I built a working benchmark for this in pure Python. No APIs, no LLMs, just a deterministic setup with real numbers and a runnable repo. The basic problem is simple.

My daughter is three years old. She broke her toy guitar and wants a new one. Instead of another toy guitar, I bought her a real Ukulele. It's small, lightweight, and perfect for a small girl.

On August 2, 2026, Anthropic began watermarking every piece of text Claude produces. Since 2024, Gemini (Google) has used SynthID-Text, a method they published in Nature and later open-sourced.

While digging into foundation models for time series, I realized that I could not really understand them without first understanding transformers.

The number you need sits in a table, at the intersection of a row and a column. Flatten the PDF to text and that intersection is gone: the label lands in one place, the value in another, and the...

TL;DR If you build with composable prompts, changing one shared component can leave you with a difficult question: what actually needs to be re-evaluated?

Before AI, implementation capacity was scarce. A bad requirement might waste a few engineers' time. With AI, that capacity expands dramatically.

Most people who reconcile messy identifiers reach for the same approach: take an edit-distance metric, pick a threshold, and merge anything close enough.

The most useful answer a RAG system can give is sometimes “that is not in this document.” But when asked a question, a model tends to answer anyway, so the honest “not found” has to be built in...
