Founder and CEO, Redblock AI.

I would rather be a railroad entrepreneur--ferrying people, harvest, and livestock.

If I'm being honest, I didn't have what it takes to be a founder

I like the idea -- to extend yours -- all the bookmarks and pages visited (or pages dwelled on for more than a minute) get full-texted and filed to a local LLM. And you can query directly, and it has the context.

Is soap included? I seldom use body soap during a shower. Probably once a quarter, when my SO threatens me with consequences.

I am not a researcher, but I have a simple evolutionary theory that soap was invented in the last few thousand years and became a mass-market product after the beginning of industrialization.

If we survived and evolved without the use of something in the last few million years, then why is that thing needed?

Forget Model Context Protocol — we’re talking Meme Creation Platform. :-)

Because sometimes the only way to explain AI complexity… is with a Drake meme.

We built a natural language meme generator using Claude AI + Imgflip.

Type your idea, get a meme. That simple.

Perfect for dev rel, product launches, or just roasting your team’s JIRA board.

Happy April 1st — but this one’s actually real.

op exhibited a point where if we do not know what we do not know--the estimates are always off by many order of several magnitudes.

if op consulted an experienced plumber--the estimates would be off probably by an addition hour.

if a junior dev estimates, yup, I can change the API endpoint in 10 minutes, he'll be wronged by the nuances of several intermediate steps:

- code

- review / merge

- deploy to qa

- qa testing

- deploy to staging

- deploy to prod

likewise for plumbing: "mom, i plugged the leak with a band-aid."

I met him for the first time outside Kresge—-that was YC’s first startup school (or demo day?). He was smoking 555. He had just finished his on stage session where he used flash cards instead of slides.

As a startup founder, my journey is super lonely.

There is seldom a flutter of thanks—-rarely does anyone come to me saying, “Splendid!”

Yet, the day continues, operated by a calendar.

The lack of thanks does not make me anxiouz, but I continue on my journey because I signed up—to create. Create something out of thin air, something out of my figment of imagination.

But there are moments where I am vulnerable, alone. In those moments, I look for a post-it where it says, “Continue and Persist.”

Thanks for creating this. I’ll wait for this. Maybe someone, someday.

Most LLMs have an accuracy benchmark for controlled questions & answers.

Even if this accuracy is 95% then in a complex system the probability of getting to the right answer diminishes with each new step being added. This is also the key tenet of an agentic system.

While the analysis in the blog is excellent but an answer needs to be found. A layer on top of LLMs for error control/check.

As an analogy, in the analog to digital transmission stack of OSI, an error correction mechanism such as frame check sequence (fcs) detects transmission errors in the data link layer.
