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...

O maior pecado cá em casa é deixar um pacote de bolachas vazio na dispensa. Deitei um ao lixo sem descobrir o culpado.

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 🤷

I forgot that Scholar does alerts not just for keywords but also for specific people

so I made alerts for all my advisees and now I get an email when they have a paper out

maybe folks already do this and I'm late to the game but honestly those alerts feel great, esp when it's a long-gone advisee

Yes, it’s unacceptable. So is using an LLM to review a paper. Peer review is so broken.

Congratulations Abel, the first organic citation is always a good start.

Got my first citation.

Good to see my name in someone else’s Related Work.

Been working on eventual consistency and BFT, so getting cited in a games paper — FlockJS: A Browser-Native Game Engine Integrating WebGPU and Peer-to-Peer Networking — hits different. Full-circle moment.

Essa desgraça em concreto já passou. Mas se 20% das pessoas se lembrarem de ir levantar o dinheiro todo ao mesmo tempo, vai-se ver que se calhar não dá.

Nice cliff. Bank leverage was out of control before the 2008 financial crisis. More recently leverage is “only” 6x.

Unbelievably real:

It might happen. But we know it is a perception mismatch. We have 280 places for the computer science course and 60 for the AI and Data Science course. Curious to look for changes in application numbers.

Prediction: a year from now, US computer science departments will find their enrollment at 50% of what they have been the past few years. I'm willing to bet a peppercorn on it for someone who really wants to hold me to it. (-:
