Explore early experiments by Dr. Sanjiv Talwar on remote-controlled rats. By using brain implants and electrodes, scientists successfully guided rats through complex obstacle courses, raising significant ethical questions about the nature of direct neural control.
I found that LLM agents and human brains consume similar energy for complex tasks. While brains use lower power over longer periods, AI's high-speed processing results in comparable total watt-hours per task.
I discovered new CLI tools like fselect and xxh, explored modern HTML attributes for mobile UX, and reviewed books on neuroscience and oncology. I also learned about Anthropic's custom skills and European day-fine systems.
I found a clever method for transforming an iPod into a universal remote control by using the headphone jack to transmit infrared signals. This hardware hack allows you to control various home entertainment devices using specifically encoded audio files.
I’m sharing the PhD theses written by my friends Dr. Jani and Dr. Jigs, covering local intelligent control in biological systems and industrial processes as well as modified microporous aluminosilicates used as solid acid catalysts.
I read 51 books in 2025, primarily using AI summarization to process 44 titles in a single week. My highlights include Bert Hölldobler’s The Ants and Brandon Sanderson’s Wind and Truth, alongside deep dives into biology and psychology.
