The Real Ambient Scribe Question is Trust, Not Note Quality
I built a browser-based AI medical scribe as a way to explore whether the real question isn’t just “can AI write a good note?” but “can it be done in a way that feels more private and trustworthy?” The idea was to keep everything local-first in the browser rather than relying on a backend, covering transcription, summarisation, review, and structured output in one place. It’s not a finished or clinical product, but it clarified where the real challenges are. Privacy is only part of it, reviewing and trusting the output still takes effort, and the hardest problem is often getting that output back into real healthcare systems in a useful way. Read All

God Mode is Boring: Musings on Interestingness
(Crossposted from my Substack ) There is a preference that I think most people have, but which is extremely underdescribed. It is underdescribed because it is not very legible. But I believe that once I point it out, you will be able to easily recognize it. In a sense, I am doing something sinful here. A real description of interestingness should probably be done through song, or dance, or poetry. But I lack every artistic talent that would do the job justice. What I can do is analyze systems and write prose. Hopefully at least the LLMs will appreciate it. I am writing this with some anxiety. If it is a small sin to create an analytical post about interestingness, it is a cardinal sin to create a boring analytical post about interestingness. It is impossible to really cage within language,
Explainable Causal Reinforcement Learning for circular manufacturing supply chains during mission-critical recovery windows
Explainable Causal Reinforcement Learning for circular manufacturing supply chains during mission-critical recovery windows Introduction: A Learning Journey Through Broken Supply Chains My journey into this specialized intersection of AI began during a particularly challenging consulting project in early 2023. I was working with an automotive manufacturer whose just-in-time supply chain had collapsed when a critical semiconductor supplier experienced a factory fire. The recovery window was measured in days, not weeks, and traditional optimization algorithms kept suggesting solutions that looked perfect mathematically but failed catastrophically in practice. They would recommend rerouting through suppliers that appeared available in the database but were actually allocation-constrained, or

Why do I believe preserving structure is enough?
There's a lot even our best neuroscientists don't know about the human brain. How can we have any reasonable hope for preservation given those unknowns? What if there are crucial memory mechanisms that are so poorly understood, we don't even know to check whether our methods preserve them? As it turns out, there's some interesting empirical evidence about the general shape , and limits, of those unknowns. In Ted Chiang's short story Exhalation , a race of aliens have brains which run on compressed air, performing computations and storing information in elaborate arrangements of hinged gold-foil leaves. The leaves are held in position by a constant stream of air flowing through the brain's tubules, encoding alien thoughts and memories. That ephemeral suspension pattern is the whole self—any
