In less than 24 months there will be a clip of a high profile CRO explaining this reality to a (much smaller) room of sales reps.
There's nothing kind about letting good people live in a fantasy world that no longer exists. You have to tell them, even if it hurts. Because the sooner they accept reality, the sooner they can adapt to the future.

@coyle_frankp I just watched your Why Agentic Systems Need Ontologies and loved it. It all makes so much sense now.

@AnthropicAI has shared the first end-to-end, computer-checked proof of Fermat's Last Theorem: 13 million lines of Lean, 29,500 intermediate theorems. Their announcement calls it "the largest Lean proof ever constructed." See also Kevin Buzzard's blog post about the proof: xenaproject.wordpress.com/20… 🔗 Anthropic's announce post: anthropic.com/research/forma… 🔗 The code: github.com/anthropics/fermat… #LeanLang #LeanProver #FLT

Everyone has an opinion on spec-driven development but nobody is tracking whether it actually works. I built a small directory that follows SDD frameworks and real projects over time: spec structure, drift, rework, maintenance outcomes. Community-maintained, data on GitHub. sddobservatory.com

Nvidia is worth more than the GDP of every country on the planet except the US and China 🤯 I'm not an economist, but I am curious, so I tried to reason this out for myself in my latest blog post: emilesilvis.com/maybe-is-ai-…

Last year I built a computer from scratch: logic gates, CPU, assembler, compiler, operating system. I wrote about it at the time, but I never shared what made it so cool for me, so I wrote a 5-part blog series on it! emilesilvis.com/part-1-how-1…

My Mathematical Foundations III progress so far. It's slow going but satisfying as heck.

I got tired of memorising trigonometry by rote so I built an interactive unit circle — I think I get it now! emilesilvis.com/interactive-…
