Higher-agency architectures benefit from human intervention while they’re running: interrupting, approving, forking, or undoing. Keeping a human in the loop adds to safety and compliance, quality control, alignment, and trust.

"The problem is that LLMs inherently lack the virtue of laziness. Work costs nothing to an LLM. LLMs do not feel a need to optimize for their own (or anyone’s) future time, and will happily dump more and more onto a layercake of garbage." (Left unchecked...)

“The best engineering is always borne of constraints, and the constraint of our time places limits on the cognitive load of the system that we’re willing to accept. “

For decades, the hallmark of computing engineering was doing more with less - achieving higher performance while reducing the energy and physical space needed per calculation. In the rush to $$$ kids are forgotting this. #giftarticle #worksmarternotharder www.wsj.com/tech/ai/ai-i...

Understanding supply chains is a great use case for a graph database. Knowledge graphs and digital twins FTW 🙌 www.lbc.co.uk/article/the-...

I wonder what dynamics are different in Hungary? Here, the media companies are all owned by Trump's buds and they're participants in the abuse, along with most politicians in power, so, general public outcry is muffled and doesn't seem to have much affect on pedophiles facing any consequences.

Wow. Orban had his own Pam Bondi, named Katalin Novak. They were best buds (she wore earrings with his initials) until she pardoned a pedophile protector. This lead to the rise of Peter Magyar. Turns out some countries insist their children be protected from abuse. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katalin...

Godspeed, astronauts.

The Geico gecko is British? Just saw that lizard call a potato chip a crisp.

Grit - continued passion and perserverance, even when you don't see results right away. Grit is a requirement for long term, meaningful goals.

Wonderful behind the scenes of the final four from Charlisse Leger-Walker, first woman from New Zealand to win an NCAA championship. Congratulaions, Bruins! www.youtube.com/watch?v=siiX...

UCLA! We will outwork you and out-execute you and have fun while we're doin it. Go Bruins!!! www.youtube.com/watch?v=2CQ3...

Awesome interview with Coach Cori Close, UCLA Women's Basketball. What an incredible ambassador for UCLA. Genuine, driven, and carrying the Wooden legacy of character and principled leadership onward to the next generation of champions. Go Bruins! youtu.be/ST3LdKFmpNI?...

Lauren Betts in her own words. This young woman is so amazing. I'm such a fan of honesty and people who use their powers for good. Some incredible insights into growing up tall, in the spotlight, and with depression. Go Bruins! www.theplayerstribune.com/lauren-betts...

Great post on using graphs for the semantic layer and what this looks like in practice. www.linkedin.com/pulse/semant...

Go Bruins!!! Congratulations, Champs! youtu.be/u_v_TyLkQJg?...

There are many good, decent, kind, wonderful people in the world. None of them are being broadcast as those qualities don't sell whatever those with the megaphones are trying to sell ya.

Hoping for a TACO Tuesday. Knowhutimsayin?

Excellent presentation by AstraZeneca on the knowledge graph they're building and why. Multiple use cases supported (supply chain, digital twins, ...) and in the end, providing context to scale AI. A multi-year endeavor and they use the semantic layer as they build it! neo4j.com/videos/opera...

This is right on. AZ is building a semantic layer as part of their Operations Knowledge Fabric strategy. Their strategy is also not to first build the semantic layer but while building, start using it! They plan to continue to build and extract more value over time. www.youtube.com/shorts/59GYF...

For the last couple of years I've repeatedly seen "those who routinely outsource their critical thinking to what they see as an all-knowing machine" in the workplace and in the organizations I work with. #dangerwillrobinson

Understanding context. "This is where AI systems are most exposed." williaminmon.substack.com/p/understand...

Useful lesson on the history of Data Warehouse architectures and their evolution over time. The mental inertia and muscle memory are strong. substack.com/home/post/p-...

Super cool. With vector search with filters generally available as part of Cypher 25, Tomaz shares an MCP server that automatically discovers your vector indexes, inspects their metadata properties, & generates filtered search tools with zero manual configuration. #Neo4j medium.com/neo4j/automa...

The question — “Agentic AI Orchestration! So, Where’s the Music?” — perfectly captures the problem. Without a semantic backbone, agents are like talented musicians playing without a score.

LLMs operate in a vector space (probabilistic), while KGs operate in a symbolic space (deterministic). Orchestration is the bridge that “grounds” the LLM’s creativity in the graph’s reality. medium.com/@andreas.blu...

I got a fever! And the ONLY prescription, is more context graph!!!

"RAG is like a library where every page is indexed by its words." "GraphRAG is like having a scholar who has read the entire library, drawn a map of how ideas connect, clustered related concepts together, and written a summary of each cluster." awsrohanyadav.medium.com/rag-vs-graph...

Meta created a network of super PACs aimed at influencing federal and state elections; they say they plan to spend $65 million this year. According to Americans for Tax Fairness, Elon Musk has already spent $71 million ahead of the midterms in donations to super PACs and Republican groups.

Leading the Future, a group funded by venture capitalists Marc Andreessen and Ben Horowitz, OpenAI president Greg Brockman, and other leading lights in the Valley, said it raised $125 million in the second half of 2025 in preparation for the midterms.

Emil Eifrem, CEO and co-founder of Neo4j, a company specializing in this area, sees AI as “a brilliant PhD student” going to work every day as if it is his first day. “There is no context,” www.forbes.com/sites/rogert...

Turns out Solution Architects have a lot in common with librarians. Wonderful article here focusing on the skills of the librarian required and the importance of discovery (the reference interview) when providing solutions (answers). jennajordan.me/blog/referen...

Oracle has taken on $58 billion in new debt within just 2 months. Its stock has lost more than half its value since reaching a peak in September 2025. Multiple U.S. banks have reportedly stepped back from financing some of its data center projects. rollingout.com/2026/03/31/o...

The best writing habit experienced developers can build is every time you spend an expectedly long time figuring something out, don't move on! Write about it. If it was interesting & confusing to you, others will find it interesting & valuable too.

Answer generation and search are related albeit significantly different use case cases, demanding fundamentally different architectures.

Debt is a shell game. There are no sovereign nations without it. The only regions without any debt are Macao and Liechtenstein. And I'm sure most folks know where those are. ( I didn't. )
