Evolving descriptive text of mental content from human brain activity
”What surprised us in this study is that music perception in the brain is different from image perception,” says Takagi. ”For images, the high-level information and the low-level information have distinct locations in the brain. For music, we found that semantics and low-level information are not separated.” More like this: • The riddles that humans can […]
Process-Based Concurrency: Why Beam and OTP Keep Being Right
Every few months, someone in the AI or distributed systems space announces a new framework for running concurrent, stateful agents. It has isolated state. Message passing. A supervisor that restarts things when they fail. The BEAM languages communities watch, nod, and go back to work. This keeps happening because process-based concurrency solves a genuinely hard […]

Picking Up a Zillion Pieces of Litter
For this project, I intend to pick up a zillion pieces of litter. (A ”zillion” simply means ”an extremely large number”, but to be more specific, I intend to pick up as much litter as it takes to show that anyone can make a big difference.) Below is a series of pictures documenting a zillion […]

Create commits with normal Git flow (-m or editor). Attach the AI session trace to the commit (git notes). Keep […]
