I Built an AI Reviewer That Refuses to Tell Me If My Idea Will Work

Image
This blog has been quiet for ten years — the last post here is a Windows 10 dark-theme registry hack. I'm putting it back to work. Going forward this is where I'll write about the AI systems and tools I'm building, with more room than a social post gives me. First one: a small protocol that talked me out of a bad idea before I wasted months on it. The wrong question The first startup idea I tested with my own AI review protocol didn't survive the review. That wasn't a failure of the protocol. It was the point. I built the protocol after realizing something uncomfortable: asking an LLM whether an idea is good is almost the wrong question. Modern language models are very good at constructing coherent arguments, but they can't determine whether a business will succeed — that depends on evidence the model simply doesn't have. Ask for a brutal review and you usually get the tone of criticism wrapped around the same underlying agreement. Better prompting ...

SQL Server 2008 MERGE statement

One Statement for INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE In earlier versions of SQL Server we had to write separate statements for Insert,update and Delete based on certain conditions but now, using MERGE statement we can include the logic of such data modifications in one statement that even checks when the data is matched then just update it and when unmatched then insert it. One of the most important advantage of MERGE statement is all the data is read and processed only once. In previous versions three different statement has to be written to process three different activity (INSERT, UPDATE or DELETE), however using MERGE statement all update activity can be done in one pass of database table. This is quite an improvement in performance of database query. Syntax of MERGE statement is as following: MERGE [ TOP ( expression ) [ PERCENT ] ] [ INTO ] target_table [ WITH ( ) ] [ [ AS ] table_alias] USING ON [ WHEN MATCHED [ AND ] THEN ] [ WHEN NOT MATCHED [ BY TARGET...
