Quizzes

New Siri needs that Steve Jobs touch
Simply following promises won’t work here. Siri simply being able to do what they promised won’t cut it. The thing with AI integration is, it’s easy to do something, and very hard to make it magical and right. Apple’s current form of ChatGPT answers is horrible, but Google’s Gemini integration…

Conversations don’t flow linearly, so LLM interfaces shouldn’t either
If you’ve spent time chatting with large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini, you’ve probably noticed that the conversation flows linearly. You ask a question, the model answers. You follow up, it continues. This might work for quick questions, but the thing is, thought and research processes don’t…

LaTeX Collection
I’ve been asked a lot about names of different Latex symbols, so here’s a collection that will grow over time. Simply click on a box to copy an element, then paste it in Overleaf, Obsidian or wherever you work at. This makes things incredibly fast. For a bigger list, check…

OpenAI’s masterplan
It’s genius. Here’s some thoughts following on DevDay 2025. Apps in ChatGPT Through the new Apps SDK, all SAAS companies are required to build an integration into ChatGPT, because if they don’t, they’ll just get completely replaced by the competition. When creating a presentation, people already spend a lot of…

A collection of product launch videos
All of these launch videos follow a similar pattern, and they are absolutely . They leave you in awe really wanting that product, and I can’t describe how and why. It’s a relaxed atmosphere, elements of nature and everyday life combined, while showing the product. Have another one that fits…

What’s the truth? (ft. Sora 2)
Video evidence is inadmissible now. It used to be proof something happened, or not. And well, no more. We need a new way of proving what’s true and what’s not and how this’ll look like? Not sure, yet. The appearance of LLMs marked the start of artificial content. Back in…

I simply love Technology
With announcement after announcement, one thing never changes: I love technology. Because it’s a field that never stands still. And just when we think things are stagnating, we’re onto something new. Right now, you can feel that energy. LLMs (besides being the revolution themselves) inspired new products and companies to…

Apple’s so back
Looking back at last week’s Apple event, I couldn’t help but notice how they finally started pushing the limits again after years of incremental changes. The reason? Quite simply, pressure. They overhyped Apple Intelligence, were losing market cap, and people began to doubt their ability to create truly great products.…

Finding IKEA
I went to IKEA today, looking for a specific product. According to the IKEA app, it was “available.” On the floor, I couldn’t find a single employee – just touchscreens labeled “Product Finder.” Perfect, I thought. Only… all they did was tell me how many items were in stock and which…

Bikepacking the balkans
Going 950 kilometers from Austria to Croatia Bikepacking feels like something, especially regarding the 7,5+km up. Was it an absolutely fantastic experience? Sure.Would I do it again? Absolutely.Was it something life changing? Nah. But that’s not something I expected, not why I decided to do this. My motivation came from…

Where does Information come from? An introspective into Websites and LLMs
You can get an article like this one, maybe a little more background checked and neutral, just by asking ChatGPT. Or, better yet, you can ask ChatGPT to summarize this article. So why read this? And if you don’t read this but use an LLM to summarize, then why should…

Protecting Publishing in an LLM Era
There’s a million reasons to publish, but they all come down to two things. One – getting heard, making noise.Two – making money. And the internet is a great place for both of those things. As we’re moving away from classic backend-frontend websites towards a future where content is generated…

Thoughts on Predictive Computing
I’m tired so I’ll keep it short. Will a chatbot just not play a role at all when it comes to the future of computing, or will everything evolve around the chatbot. I see both visions, and the first one seems far more inovative. Let me explain. I fire up…

Socials x Music
Spotify has social features, but they suck. I wonder why don’t they improve those. Being able to send songs to another person’s Play Queue, repost songs, chat with your friends, share photos and moments with music (à la Instagram stories), etc. Instagram has music features, but they suck. I can’t…
