Apple’s HomeView ad is confusing to everyone except parents

Apple's ad introducing its new HomeView smart display is a little unusual. It's fast-paced and unruly, depicting a family of five as they rush through the morning routine. There's yelling and mess, misplaced keys and discarded eggshells. Apple's typical vibe is clean, simple, orderly; this commercial is chaos. But the spot has parents - those […]

The Staircase App Mystery: Trace Code Changes with Entire

I love walking in San Francisco! To celebrate Walktober, I built an app to explore San Francisco’s many staircases. However, after working on it with my partner, I noticed a new feature: the app was assessing whether those staircases needed escalators. Zut alors! I did not build that part. So I used Entire to find the conversation behind it. Here’s the workflow, using agent sessions already captured by Entire. 1. Search for what looks unfamiliar From my terminal, I ran: ...

Taming Huge Git Repos: Partial Clone, Sparse-Checkout and Scalar in Practice

Tuần này trên HN có bài về việc Anthropic thiết kế lại hệ thống source control nội bộ. Đọc xong mình thấy quen, vì team nào để monorepo phình lên vài chục GB cũng sẽ gặp đúng những vấn đề đó: git clone mất 40 phút, git status chạy 8 giây, CI thì tốn phần lớn thời gian để kéo code về. Phần lớn chúng ta không cần (và cũng không nên) tự viết VCS riêng. Git bản hiện đại đã có sẵn công cụ để xử lý repo lớn, chỉ là ít người dùng. Bài này tổng hợp những gì mình đã áp dụng cho một monorepo khoảng 18...

Test document extraction before an agent acts on it

An agent can follow its instructions perfectly and still pay the wrong amount, because the parser misread a table in the invoice. The agent never sees the PDF, only the extraction. If that step is wrong, everything downstream is confidently wrong too. Jerry Liu, co-founder and CEO of LlamaIndex, made this point in a June 2026 episode. A parser that represents a table wrong, or hallucinates at a meaningful rate, puts a workflow below the accuracy bar you can operate with, and the downstream ag...
