This past Tuesday we had a lecture on perception and cognition as part of the Good and Bad Science course I’m taking. My rough notes are below.

I know I should have posted earlier but better laet than nevar I'm new here! I'm relatively new when it comes to the *chans too. But I've been increasingly interested, ED got me into many other chanosphere websites. And this summer I could try to compile all of the history of the *chans, from ayashii to soyjak.party in one video (text, infoboxes and images if they are necessary). I wouldn't upload in on social media. I'd only post it he..

Yes. I believe this is something a Western woman would absolutely do on Judgment Day. I know. we are told in Scripture that the presence of God will be so awe-striking and terrifying that we will be reduced to silence. I don’t doubt for a second that this is true. but it’s going to takeContinue reading 'I Can Absolutely Envision This Happening'

Introduction Current computer chess engines include a neat feature: the analysis bar. For example here is the analysis bar from chess.com. White to move, FEN: rnb2rk1/ppp2ppp/3p1q1n/4p3/7P/b1PPP3/PP1BBPP1/R2QK1NR w KQ – 0 1 The analysis bar is on the left, and the white portion is 74 “centipawn units” below the midpoint (matching […]

George Boole (1815-1864) was a mathematician best known as the progenitor of the Boolean algebra, the system of logic that acts as a fundamental layer within digital systems. Although he never gained a college degree, he spent many productive years as the chair of mathematics at Queen’s College, Cork. Desmond MacHale’s The Life and Work of George Boole is a well-written exploration of Boole’s life, personality, and impact. The Life a....

Heroku is introducing significant updates to Managed Inference and Agents. These changes focus on reducing developer friction, expanding model catalogue, and streamlining deployment workflows. More flexibility with the new standard plan Until now, Heroku’s model-based plans required developers to provision a specific add-on for a specific model. This created significant operational overhead. If you wanted […] The post Whats New in Heroku..

Figure 1: Heed the call, halfling This moment—early 2026—is a particularly well-suited time in history to start self-hosting applications and rely on your own infrastructure. Whether in a local homelab or your own cloud deployment, the tools to build out personal environments have been getting better over time. The future looks a little shaky, though, so now is your moment! Increasing hardware costs have started to bloat the price of ....

I want to start capturing my notes from important articles I’m reading about the impact of AI. AI Doesn’t Reduce Work—It Intensifies It by Aruna Ranganathan and Xingqi Maggie Ye While this may sound like a dream come true for leaders, the changes brought about by enthusiastic AI adoption can be unsustainable, causing problems down […]

The Clinejection vulnerability chain illustrates a dangerous new era of supply chain attacks where AI agents are turned into exploit vectors. By combining indirect prompt injection with GitHub Actions cache poisoning, attackers successfully pushed unauthorized code to thousands of developers. This incident highlights the critical need for hardened CI/CD pipelines and rigorous security for AI-assisted coding tools.

I recently put together a simple, fun little Python tool that I've been using, and I thought I'd share it with you all! It's called Church Kids Game Show , and it's built to make review games and interactive lessons a breeze for parents, teachers, and church leaders. What is it? Basically, Church Kids Game Show is a lightweight desktop app. It takes questions and answers from a basic CSV file and turns them into a colorful, clicka..

This post is an elaboration on a comment I made on Hacker News recently, on a blog post that showed an increase in volume and decline in quality among the “Show HN” submissons. I don't actually mind AI-aided development, a tool is a tool and should be used if you find it useful, but I think the vibe coded Show HN projects are overall pretty boring. They generally don't have a lot of work put into them, and as a result, the author (pilo..

Many years ago, when I was younger and thought a PhD sounded like a sensible life choice, I started one. Early on, a lecturer gave me a piece of advice that stuck: “Don’t watch the program run.” He meant the long jobs. Training a neural net. Running simulations. Anything where the terminal starts spitting out numbers and you just… sit there. Watching loss values tick down as if your attention somehow helps. It feels like work. ....

Introduction When using a not end-to-end encrypted cloud storage, you may want to store your file encrypted so if the cloud provider (that could be you if you self host a nextcloud or seafile) get hacked, your data will be available to the hacker, this is not great. While there are some encryption software like age or gpg, they are not usable for working transparently with files. A specific class of encryption software exists, they create ....
