Digital design is concerned with the creation and optimization of user interfaces and experiences across digital platforms (apps, web sites, etc.).

React is a very popular front-end framework allowing to modularize web UI elements in components (even allowing to create mobile apps using React Native / Expo).

TypeScript is a superset of JavaScript that brings static typing, preventing many bugs found in vanilla JS code bases.

Erlang is a powerful and elegant functional programming language developed in Sweden at Ericsson during the 1980s that excels at distributed, concurrent and fault-tolerant systems.

The artificial intelligence industry faces a growing energy crisis.

Getting healthy through food doesn't have to be complicated.

We are all players in games, though mostly unaware.

Just some notes on how to use Python effectively.

Search is the process of finding useful matches in a (large) set of objects (search corpus).

Biological computing using living neurons has crossed from science fiction into commercial reality.

Photonic computing uses light (photons) instead of electrons to perform calculations, offering faster processing speeds and lower energy consumption than traditional electronic processors.

Update: this project is currently offline.

It is becoming clearer and clearer that scaling up LLM's will not solve their fundamental limits like hallucinations (making up bullshit) and context rot (decreasing performance with growing noisy input context).

We need a new benchmark score that expresses the robustness of models within a coherent problem set (punish brittleness -> making stupid mistakes while otherwise achieving good scores).

Concerned with the difference between complicated (causal, explicit and deterministically) versus complex (emergent, implicit, non-deterministic) designed objects and processes.

A personal agent (PA) powered by an LLM agent via chat and voice interface informs you every day what is happening (daily agenda) executes tasks for you (setup a blog for me, order my favorite pizza, make me rich, make world peace etc.)

Claude Code is a powerful CLI based coding agent.

A programming paradigm gaining traction with good reasons.

Some people believe large language models (LLM) have gained self-agency or even sentience / consciousness.

Do you control what information you consume or is your mind controlled by tech companies?

You have a product (solution for a problem) and need customers (has problem, needs solution) - how do you find them?

Quantum computing uses quantum bits (qubits) that can represent multiple states simultaneously due to superposition, unlike classical bits that represent only 0 or 1.

The internet is a war zone and you are an active participant if you like it or not - so learn to defend yourself!

Basic idea Zipf's Law describes a power law distribution that appears across numerous natural phenomena.

What is the Modality Gap?

A short how to (re)search for and access relevant information in the age of semantic search and open information.

The term “memetics” was coined by Richard Dawkins in his 1976 book The Selfish Gene.

A small tutorial how you can easily explore your Telegram (https://desktop.telegram.org/) chat messages using Digger Solo.

A short list of free AI chat apps for local LLM execution that work offline and promise privacy first (no user data collection).

Have you ever found yourself in similar uncomfortable situations, only to later wonder: "Why did this happen again to me?"

A small tutorial how you can easily explore your past Twitter (X) likes using Digger Solo.

Digital freedom is achieved by getting rid of as many third-party controlled software as possible.

Digger Solo is an AI file explorer.

Humans aquire vast amounts of information.

Recently I came across an interesting phenomenon concerning the CLIP text encoder embedding space: I have discovered yet another gap in the CLIP embedding space - the semantic complexity gap.

Modern deep learning architectures are dominated by dense embeddings.

A small collection of insights on the structure of embeddings (latent spaces) produced by deep neural networks.

We are entering the age of digital uncertainty.

digger.so is a visual search & exploration engine, allowing users to browse efficiently and intuitively giant pools of data.

A tiny device that is only a few centimeters long and even shorter height.

A list of mathematical objects I find interesting.

A list of causes benefitting humanity as a whole.

Large language models (LLM) have been all the rage for quite some time now.

The release of so-called Large Language Models by OpenAI and others has fueled another AI hype wave which fueled a fierce debate of how dangerous this technology is and how imminent Artificial General / Super Intelligence is.

Introduction This text is devoted to my favorite CS concept I know of (so far): Kolmogorov complexity.

Every single time I mention in a conversation that I am actually not interested in finishing my CS degree, every person is kind of flabbergasted and tries to convince me to finish it for my own good.

It is no secret that the idea of an open, free and accessible word wide web is just that: an idea.

HyperTag let's humans intuitively express how they think about their files using tags and the power of modern machine learning.

I want to briefly introduce you into what I believe to be the future of programming.

Is closed source, centralized, privacy invading software still part of your digital life?
