The Research That Explains Why Your LLM Keeps Messing Up

Ever noticed your AI gets worse the longer you chat? Groundbreaking research shows even top LLMs lose the plot in multi-turn conversations—causing reliability issues and inconsistent results. Learn what’s behind this, and how tools like Vade AI are adapting.

How Transducers Saved Our LLM Processing Pipeline

Ever wrestled with laggy LLM streams and memory spikes? We did—until transducers swooped in. Here’s how they turbocharged our Clojure pipeline and saved our sanity (and sleep).

Database Deep Dive - The Beginning

Chasing the NoSQL hype nearly broke my startup—until I learned why relational databases, built on solid mathematics, power everything from MVPs to global apps. Explore the timeless lessons of data integrity, scalability, and the enduring genius of Ted Codd’s model.

Scaling Identity: Inside the Engineering Marvel of India's Aadhaar System

Think 99.99% accuracy is enough? Not when you’re building a digital ID for over a billion people. Dive into the wild challenges, clever solutions, and massive impact of Aadhaar—India’s audacious quest to give everyone a secure, scalable identity in a country where scale changes everything.
