One problem I ran into while building a dialectical conversation engine was repetition. When a user repeated or rephrased an earlier question, the assistant sometimes started the argument all over again. It would repeat points that had already been established instead of moving the discussion forward. I fixed this by adding explicit conversation-state tracking. TrackingContinue reading “How I Fixed Conversation-State & Repetition Loops”

David vs. Goliath: Turns Out Goliath Was Just a Very Confident Loading Screen
There is something oddly satisfying about trying to debug an AI chatbot that seems far more sophisticated than anything I could build from scratch. It feels a little like David bringing down Goliath. Except Goliath is a giant language model, David has a prompt box, and the weapon of choice is apparently a carefully wordedContinue reading “David vs. Goliath: Turns Out Goliath Was Just a Very Confident Loading Screen”
The Day a 500 Error Became My Goliath
There was a moment when building my app stopped feeling exciting. I had an idea. I started building it. Things were coming together, and for a while, everything felt surprisingly smooth. Then came the dreaded message: 500 Internal Server Error. Suddenly, the app that had looked so promising refused to cooperate. I wasn’t sitting inContinue reading “The Day a 500 Error Became My Goliath”
Faith in God, One Roll at a Time: What Bowling Taught Me About Trust
Sometimes God uses the most ordinary moments to teach us something extraordinary. For me, one of those moments happened on a bowling lane. I went into the first round simply intending to practice. It was far from impressive—I had about five longkang rolls, with the ball finding its way into the gutter again and again.Continue reading “Faith in God, One Roll at a Time: What Bowling Taught Me About Trust”
Business Analysis: More Than Learning, It’s Personal Growth
Lately, I’ve realized that studying business analysis through a faith-based lens puts me in a completely different mindset. It shifts my focus from simply learning techniques to shaping my character. One verse that keeps coming to mind is James 1:19: “Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry.” TheContinue reading “Business Analysis: More Than Learning, It’s Personal Growth”
Why Philosophy Needs to Keep Evolving: Reflections on the New Knowledge and Inquiry Syllabus
When people think of philosophy, they often imagine ancient thinkers discussing questions that have puzzled humanity for centuries. What is truth? How do we know what we know? What makes something right or wrong? These questions have not changed. But the world around them certainly has. That is why the Ministry of Education’s refreshed KnowledgeContinue reading “Why Philosophy Needs to Keep Evolving: Reflections on the New Knowledge and Inquiry Syllabus”
The Book Voucher I Almost Forgot: A Lesson in God’s Timing and Beginning My AI Journey
About a year ago, I received three $10 Kinokuniya book vouchers. Like many gift vouchers, I told myself I would use them “one day.” But life became busy, and before I knew it, almost a year had passed. The vouchers remained tucked away in my wallet, waiting for the right opportunity. I didn’t realize thenContinue reading “The Book Voucher I Almost Forgot: A Lesson in God’s Timing and Beginning My AI Journey”
As AI Becomes Routine, the Demand for the Humanities Grows
One idea from AI World: Underlying Logic and Survival Strategies by Sega Cheng has stayed with me long after I put the book down: As AI becomes routine, the demand for the humanities grows. At first glance, it sounds paradoxical. We’re surrounded by headlines urging us to learn AI, master prompt engineering, or become proficientContinue reading “As AI Becomes Routine, the Demand for the Humanities Grows”
The Greatest Danger Is Not Failure—It’s Success Without God
When we think about the greatest dangers in life, we often think of failure. We fear losing our jobs, missing opportunities, making mistakes, or falling behind. We pray for doors to open, for our efforts to bear fruit, and for God to bless the work of our hands. But what if the greater danger isn’tContinue reading “The Greatest Danger Is Not Failure—It’s Success Without God”
Not Ready Yet, But God Is Preparing Me
“He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.” — Philippians 1:6 One Monday morning, I had a dream that stayed with me long after I woke. In the dream, I knew I was meant to begin ministry, but I kept thinking, “I’m notContinue reading “Not Ready Yet, But God Is Preparing Me”
