When AI models start asking each other for help without being told to, something magical happens.| Paolo’s Weblog
An old friend with many years of software development experience yesterday reminded me of the old saying: “if you can explain a problem, it is half solved”. Chatting about it we agreed …| Paolo’s Weblog
I just built yet another MCP experiment. First I created a Python script to process .md files: chunk them, create embeddings, store everything in a PostgreSQL database. Then I built an MCP server w…| Paolo’s Weblog
I’m not confident enough in the tools I built this week to share them around just yet. As long as they run on my Mac, I’m happy, but I can’t really take responsibility for how they’d work for anyone else. Still, while I’m not serving up the dish, I’m definitely happy to share the recipe! … Continue reading "And here’s the recipe"| Paolo’s Weblog

Yet, despite clear … Continue reading "Scraping Challenges and Open Standards"| Paolo’s Weblog

Things change fast, I’m writing this for my future self who will be moved while reminiscing these pioneering times. I more or less always have the Claude and ChatGPT apps running. Recently I have also created a … Continue reading "Daily AI Tools"| Paolo’s Weblog
