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 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 learned useful CLI tools, why evals often land in the middle, how file-based context and modern HTML attributes improve products, plus notes from neuroscience and other books.
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 compare the energy used by humans and frontier LLM agents on GDPVal-style tasks: about 135 Wh for seven hours of human work versus 50–500 Wh for an AI agent.
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.
