I'd like to store a list of functions that are derivatives of a given function. This is a working example of what I want f = Function[{x,y},Exp[y x]] then assoc= <"Function"->f, ...

Proposal comes after seven states drawing water from drought-stricken river failed to come to an agreement The US government has proposed a plan for the drought stricken Colorado River that could cut up to 40% of current supplies to Arizona, California and Nevada, as the waterway’s reservoirs continue to plunge to critically low levels. A top Arizona water official shared details of the Trump adm…

Most database designs have two ugly options: Manually seed thousands of rows (impossible for niche data like Japanese wholesale suppliers) Force users to enter everything (terrible UX, dead-on-arrival) Last week I shipped a third option in 30 minutes with Lovable: let the database grow itself . Every search that misses the cache triggers Claude API to generate a real, structured entry — and saves…

When building AI applications with LangChain, your chat history usually lives as a list of LangChain message objects like SystemMessage , HumanMessage , AIMessage , and ToolMessage . That format is convenient inside LangChain, but you may eventually need to save the conversation history, inspect it, or send it to different providers such as OpenAI-compatible APIs or Amazon Bedrock Converse. Out L…

Related: JavaScript Bundle Analysis: Tree Shaking and Code Splitting Explained covers why the size difference between React and Preact matters and how bundle size translates to parse time on real hardware. React is approximately 45KB minified and gzipped (react + react-dom combined). Preact is approximately 3KB. Both let you write JSX components with hooks. Both produce the same UI. The question …

A production-style application deployment rarely succeeds on the first attempt. This project implemented a containerized multi-service architecture using Docker Compose, integrating Flask as the application layer, PostgreSQL as the persistence layer, Gunicorn as the WSGI runtime, and NGINX as the reverse proxy ingress service. The intended architecture was: Client → NGINX → Flask → PostgreSQL The…

A user tested our face-rating tool five times in a row with the same photo. They got scores of 6.2, 7.5, 6.8, 7.1, 5.9. That's a ±0.8 spread on supposedly the same input. That email was the death of single-LLM scoring for us. This is a short post about the architecture decision we ended up making — running two parallel scoring tracks and taking the geometric one as an anchor against LLM hallucina…

Two shell scripts. A cron scheduler. Hermes Agent as the delivery layer. Zero cloud costs. Freelance opportunities delivered to your Telegram every few hours. What I Built Bounty Watcher is an autonomous agent pipeline running on Hermes Agent that scans freelance bounty platforms 24/7, filters out noise, deduplicates, and delivers only relevant opportunities — straight to Telegram. It covers two …

_Zenodo_. 2026The Bestiary-Chess corpus (n = 4,500 elicitations) probes how the GPT-5.4 model family responds when prompted to describe phonotactically plausible non-words under a 3 × 3 + 1 ontology grid (real / imaginary / type-of × animal / object / idea, plus neutral). The third subcorpus (BC3) crosses two stimulus sets — 35 GPT-authored nonces and 20 Claude-authored nonces — so we can ask: do…

What structural conditions must a system satisfy in order to possess conscious content? This chapter develops a structural theory of consciousness as differentiation. The categorical transition principle holds that increases in mental complexity are constituted by the detection of categorically new kinds of distinction rather than by quantitative accumulation within an existing category. The prin…

Coherence Testing proposes that biological, cognitive, and social systems all operate according to a single universal mechanism: when faced with ambiguity, they generate exploratory variation, evaluate micro‑trajectories, and collapse into the most coherent available configuration. This operator—coherence testing—unifies processes traditionally treated as domain‑specific, including chemotaxis, ne…

_Zenodo_. 2026Six frontier language models — three Claudes (Opus 4.7, Sonnet 4.6, Haiku 4.5), three GPTs (5.4, 5.4-mini, 5.4-nano) — each got the same nine creative-writing prompts ten times. No system message, no context, temperature 1.0, max_tokens=400. 540 outputs total. Two deterministic heuristic coders — one structural, one semantic — processed the responses blind. Then the analyst committe…

Three recent results establish their conclusions conditionally: if the universe is explainable, structural PSR is the necessary and unique formulation adequate for cosmic explanation [1]; structural PSR entails necessary cosmopsychism via the selection problem [2]; and a non-brute answer to the hard problem of consciousness requires structural PSR, establishing the full biconditional between stru…

No server. No cloud bill. Just a phone, Termux, and an AI agent that ships code. When I first heard about Hermes Agent, the open-source agentic framework from Nous Research, I did what any reasonable developer would do: I tried installing it on my laptop. It worked. Then I asked myself — what if I could run it on my phone , always on, always ready? Turns out you can. And it's surprisingly practic…

You ran the AI reviewer. It said "LGTM." You shipped. Then production caught fire. This is happening more and more this year. Teams adopt Claude, Copilot, or Cursor for code review, get a clean response on the first pass, and merge with confidence they haven't earned. Here's the part nobody is telling you: one pass of AI review is statistically worse than a tired human's first pass . Not because …
