Notes from the field on AI-first engineering, drug discovery, and what changes when intelligent systems take work off your hands.
An interactive world map of third country removals under the 2025 DHS guidance now before the Supreme Court in DHS v. D.V.D. — every documented route from home country to destination. The agreement-based removal flights go mostly to Africa, a few hundred people each, while by far the larger volume is handed over at the Mexican land border.
The Supreme Court has let third country removals resume while it decides DHS v. D.V.D. An interactive map of where the federal courts stand on the policy, the district court habeas rulings in circuits with no appellate opinion, and the 1252(g) jurisdiction split behind the first question in DHS v. D.V.D.
An interactive network of all 21 opinions in the INA 235(b) bond split, showing which circuits adopt, answer, or echo each other, the shared phrases that travel between them, and the Supreme Court cases both sides lean on.
An interactive map of the statute at the center of Rhoney v. Barbosa da Cunha. Click any contested phrase of 8 U.S.C. 1225(b)(2)(A) to see what every circuit majority and dissent said about it, with the court's own words.
An interactive map of every federal circuit's ruling on whether people who entered without inspection get a bond hearing, plus the detention, bond, habeas, and border data behind the case the Supreme Court just took.
Announcing Ackee.ai, an AI-powered search platform for real estate built to replace the form-shaped portals (Zillow, Redfin, Homes.com, Realtor.com). Buyers describe the home they actually want in plain English; the platform reads every listing and every photo the way a thoughtful agent would. Live in the MIBOR service area today, expanding to additional listing boards next.
I built an AI-powered natural-language search bar for real estate. Describe the home you're picturing, in plain English, and matching listings across Hamilton County come back in seconds. No more endless scrolling for the perfect kitchen. No dropdowns. Just sentences.
AlphaFold's low-confidence regions aren't always errors — many are intrinsically disordered, where the absence of stable structure IS the function. Why pipelines that penalize disorder systematically misread half the proteome.
AI drug discovery's hardest problem isn't a model — it's a coordination problem between engineers who don't speak biology and biologists who don't ship code. Three high-leverage plays for bridging the two cultures.
Filter NVIDIA AI Enterprise's model catalog to Life Sciences and 14 models appear — spanning genomics, structure prediction, binder design, molecule generation, and docking. Here's where each one sits in the drug discovery pipeline, and what's conspicuously still missing.
