Coding Agents Don't Need Longer History??? They Need Intent Continuity

1+ day, 15+ hour ago   (1738+ words) I built a system that automatically discovers, verifies, and applies relevant requirements from earlier interactions without asking the user where they came from. I built a complete, working implementation in pure Python and shared actual benchmark numbers from real runs…...

Loop Engineering for RAG: The Small Loops Inside Each Step, the Big Loops Across the Pipeline

3+ week, 6+ day ago   (1680+ words) A one-shot pipeline commits to its first try: parse once, retrieve once, generate once, return whatever comes out. When retrieval comes back empty or the answer is half-formed, there is no second chance. A loop gives the pipeline one: notice…...

Context Engineering Is Changing. Here???s What It Means for Data Scientists

1+ week, 6+ day ago   (1470+ words) How to apply the latest context engineering guidelines to your day-to-day data science work There are so many positive sides that come with using systems like Claude; all the repetitive, routine coding gets automated, researching is quicker, and debugging becomes…...

One Document Type, a Million Files: Structured Extraction into the SQL Table RAG Queries

2+ week, 4+ day ago   (1842+ words) Enterprise Document Intelligence [Vol.1 #14C] - One hour with two people, six to ten fields, and the two signals that separate a real column from one that will break a filter later A lot of RAG work right now goes into letting…...

AI Agents Don???t Need More Context??? They Need Typed Context

2+ week, 5+ day ago   (1708+ words) A lightweight runtime layer that separates instructions, evidence, memory, and tool output before they reach the model This article is for anyone building agent systems who assemble prompts from multiple sources (retrieved documents, conversation history, tool outputs, or system instructions)…...

Bug Detection Blind Spots in AI Coding Harnesses (GStack and Beyond)

2+ week, 6+ day ago   (1761+ words) 28 debugging experiments reveal that AI struggles less with complexity than with missing information. If you’ve watched a coding agent in action, you’ve probably noticed the default workflow: let the AI handle the routine bugs, but step in when the problem…...

Retrieve One Row from a Table, Not the Whole Table: Row-Level Chunks for RAG

3+ week, 1+ day ago   (928+ words) Enterprise Document Intelligence [Vol.1 #7sexies] – The unit of retrieval doesn’t have to be a page or a paragraph. When the corpus carries tables, each body row with its column headers is a chunk in its own right, and it’s often the…...

How to Fine-Tune an LLM: An End-to-End Guide

3+ week, 2+ day ago   (1726+ words) A hands-on guide to fine-tuning LLMs for the real world We fine-tuned a 7B parameter model which completely blows foundation models out of the water, but just for this very narrow subtask: Filling out synoptic reporting templates for breast cancer. This…...

Making the Knowledge Layer a Graph You Actually Traverse

3+ week, 2+ day ago   (1731+ words) Why retrieval quality should be a property of the system, not of the question's wording? Rebuilding knowledge layer with graph traversal on every query, bitemporal edges, and two-threshold entity resolution. The architecture held up. The contradiction register refused to answer…...
