Are LLM agents solving all known math problems from low to high complexity consistently now or are LLMs "only" synthesizing solutions for ripe problems given humanities current math knowledge (by synthesing existing knowledge via analogy - running experim…

One service on your local computer or on a home or office network can serve several AI applications.

Book review for "Des Googles Kern und andere Spinnennetze" by Arno Rolf and Arno Sagawe.

Double descent: Making the model bigger can first improve, then hurt, and then surprisingly improve generalization again.

Adding more layers to deep neural networks increases their representational capacity but also destabilizes learning.

Complexity science studies how macroscopic properties and dynamics arise from interactions among components of a system.

Physical systems naturally tend toward stable equilibrium states, generally moving toward lower free energy or greater entropy under the relevant constraints.

A complex number is a 2D vector (point), which can be multiplied with another point in the plane.

The gradient, Hessian, and Jacobian are not three unrelated equations.

The universe expands, and that expansion appears to accelerate.

The fastest high-recall index in this benchmark answered a query in 1.15 ms at 0.964 recall@10.

On 9 July 2026, the European Parliament let Chat Control 1.0 pass its second reading (enabling mass chat message surveillance legally in the EU).

Go is a statically typed, compiled programming language with built-in garbage collection, designed at Google for simple, reliable, and efficient software.

Scott Alexander uses Moloch as a name for bad incentive systems.

Historians are never nowhere.

How to run your local LLM well: fast, reliable and with good quality.

SEO (search engine optimization) is a shitshow of wrong incentives: not good work / content / reputation counts but who can allocate most resources (money and time) to play the SEO game well (place backlinks and publish content).

Generative AI is a powerful tool.

The gut microbiome is a metabolic organ with no fixed genome.

An open-source coding agent rivaling claude code and openai codex.

The Russia-Ukraine war in numbers, as of April 2026 - now past its fourth year.

mRNA vaccines work by mimicking a trick viruses have used for billions of years: injecting genetic instructions (mRNA) into your cells to make them produce a specific target protein.

You've been catching colds your whole life.

Credible UFO / UAP reports date back to WWII, when Allied pilots over both the Pacific and European theaters encountered unexplained aerial objects they called "Foo Fighters."

A sophisticated 2024 supply-chain attack nearly gave an unknown hacker (group) access to millions of internet servers.

A Sydney tech entrepreneur, Paul Conyngham, had a rescue dog, Rosie, with advanced mast cell cancer and months to live after standard treatment.

Living in a metropol (big city) is a paradoxical thing: so many humans packed into a tight place but many feel lonely and disconnected - in contrast with living in a small community where social bonds are much stronger.

Major AI (LLM) companies like Anthropic and OpenAI pride themselves by investing into AI safety research (which they mainly define as AI alignment aka prevent the agent from going rogue) - but they keep a blind eye on safely deploying AI for society as wh…

My blueprint for the optimal coding agent (army): the basic idea is divide and conquer - instead of letting a single agent eat through its whole context for complex tasks, create a plan that partitions the task into smaller subtasks connected as an task e…

RAG works by augmenting the context window of an LLM with text relevant to the user's query to provide a useful response (reduce hallucinations).

Humanity is in need of a fun to use, secure, privacy-respecting and decentral messenger.

We need decentral software to live in peace and freedom.

Exciting times lay ahead.

My choice: CachyOS (Arch Linux) with GNOME DE CachyOS is tweaked for performance, has a GUI installer + easy disk encryption setup GNOME looks shiny and can easily be stripped down to avoid bloat Awesome Software File Manager: Thunar: very lightweight 50MB

IPFS is a content based decentralized file system powered by Merkle DAG (similar to git) - allowing for local networking between nodes (separate from the internet).

Medical nanorobots are tiny vehicles controlled by external electromagnetic fields, enabling them to move through patients veins.

Microplastics are tiny plastic particles present in food, water, air and dust.

Reference Frames In his book, Jeff Hawkins identifies so called cortical columns (unit of neurons size of a grain of rice) as the functional building block of the brain.

Neo Cortex forms a uniform structure: 6 layers of cortical columns composed mostly of pyramidal neurons.

A hyper-prime is a prime number p where all prime factors of p-1 and all exponents in the prime factorization of p-1 are themselves hyper-primes.

Elixir is Erlang with syntactic sugar (transpiling to Erlang code).

Rust is a statically and strongly typed systems programming language that enforces memory safety (without a garbage collector) through its ownership and borrowing model, while still being efficient in the ballpark of C or C++.

Digital sureveillance capitalism shapes how we interact with technology, the world and even how we understand its role in society.

Bitcoin, Ethereum and co (crypto-coins) have arrived in the mainstream - everybody and their mother has heard about it, but what does it all mean?

Postgres is a versatile, powerful open-source relational DBMS - which means it is capable of lots of things: spanning from advanced search capabilities for text, vector search and geographic data to optimizations like partitioning and sharding.

There is a flood of vector databases - which ones are actually useful?

DROP is a location based social network (mobile app).
