The iceberg (ice cream) is just outside the shot, surely.

Looking forward to the next DARE talk.

Great attendance at DARE this year. This Erasmus+/ACM school is becoming a regular meeting point for the EU Distributed Data community, but we need more participation from the US. dare-lisbon.github.io/program/

Indeed. But I normally avoid this.

Oh boy. I got myself again into this situation of preparing slides on the train for a talk at DARE 2025 tomorrow morning. All on track now, ou intended, but I slightly panicked two hours ago when started editing.

Survey papers are the boundary. They used to take a long time to write. Now I look at a survey paper and I wonder how much of it was written by the authors vs. by Deep Research. Even if it was all manually produced, the doubt is unsettling.
We really need to catch up to the disruption of AI.

New neighbors. Maybe they will make a nest.

When you are one step ahead of the crowd it’s not obvious if you are a fool or a visionary. But at least the view ahead is less crowded.

The respiratory cycle modulates distinct dynamics of affective and perceptual decision-making Author summary Breathing is more than just a vital process for survival — it influences how we perceive and interact with the world around us. Recent research suggests that the rhythm of breathing, fr...

We show how respiratory 'tidal computations' alter our decisons!

People got very burned by the crypto volatility and falls of 2018 and 2022. But volatility is decreasing. See the quick drop and rebound after the fed news.

BTC didn’t like the federal reserve keeping rates put. Not surprising.

Fed keeps rates unchanged but two governors vote for a cut, snapping a streak that’s lasted since 1993 The central bank kept rates unchanged at a range of 4.25% to 4.5%, as was nearly universally expected by economists....

Main Street noticed crypto in 2017/18, NFTs in 2021/22. Main Street is not noticing yet that crypto is now being adopted en masse by Wall Street. Interesting times ahead when it sinks in. Hint, read Lyn Alden and observe the trends.

Dusted off an old tech demo. Just fancied doing simple programming to get it compiling again. It was a relaxing thing to do even though there's no end goal - I don't have plans for it and it's not exactly working perfectly (and is using ripped-off sprites lol) - I guess I just enjoy programming 🤷
