There’s substantial evidence of a relationship, including a newly published 2026 academic study that directly addresses CAFE standards causing more defects. The evidence suggests that pressure to improve fuel...
What three ambitious projects have taught us about the increasingly expensive relationship between artificial intelligence, engineering progress, computational effort, and the pursuit of completion. The Paradox of AI-Assisted Development...
From GitHub Copilot to Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and OpenCode: how AI agents became real software developers, why users love and hate them, and what they actually cost. October...
OpenAI’s release of hundreds of mathematical papers sent shock waves through academia. But an examination of AI-assisted scientific research reveals something more important: which discoveries survived experimental testing, how...
Operational, safety, procurement, and cost-benefit analysis The V-22 Osprey is one of the most consequential aircraft the Marine Corps has ever fielded. It delivers capabilities that the CH-46 Sea...
Anthropic’s Self-Replicating AI Warning: Science, Hype, or an Attack on Open-Source Competition? My assessment: skepticism is justified, and my suspicion is that there are commercial motives here. But the...
The Hidden Costs of ArtCraft: Did One Developer Really Rebuild Adobe Creative Cloud in Two Weeks? How Claude Code, thousands of AI agent-hours, startup financing, and an existing multimillion-dollar...
The most useful thing AI did for this research wasn’t prove my theory. It helped me recognize when the evidence had ruled it out. Over the last few months,...
