Motivation: I am trying to find a variant of the Atiyah problem on configurations over a finite field. Let $\mathcal{P}_2$ denote the space of all polynomials of degree at most $2$ with coefficients ...

This is a submission for the Gemma 4 Challenge: Build with Gemma 4 I clearly remember this scene: my mom and I are dyeing our hair together. I'm holding a small plastic bottle that still has some dye inside, and I'm asking myself: where the hell do I throw this? I ask my mom – she has no idea either. Plastic bin, even though the bottle is contaminated with dye? Or is it mixed waste now? Sorting w…

Why We Built a Faster Wiki I first tried to build a wiki in 2010. Working prototype, decent idea, abandoned prematurely. Sixteen years later, the market has barely moved. The tools got heavier, the page loads got slower, and everyone just... accepted it. I didn't accept it. So I built Raccoon Page. The problem nobody fixed Here's what happens in most companies: someone writes documentation. It go…

Building a Browser-Based Inkarnate Alternative for D&D Battle Maps When people search for an Inkarnate alternative , they are usually not asking for one single thing. Some want a beautiful fantasy world map. Some want a regional map for a novel. Some want a city map. But a lot of Dungeon Masters want something much more practical: “I need a playable D&D battle map for this week’s session, and I d…

The question of the day is, are UFOs real? A reasonable answer is yes and no: UFOs can be understood as holographic projections of human consciousness.

I've been writing Go for a while now, and somewhere along the way something shifted. My code started feeling less like "code that happens to be in Go" and more like... Go code. Hard to explain, but you notice it when it happens. Go has patterns. Not rules exactly, but ways of doing things that show up everywhere across the language and the ecosystem. Error handling. Naming. Control flow. The way …

Krickel and Goddu propose a developmental account of cognitive ontology built around the notion of homology — cognitive categories should be individuated, on their account, the way biological categories are: by tracking continuities of underlying generative mechanisms across brain, behavior, and environment. Their proposal extends Khalidi's (2023) influential work on cognitive ontology by importi…

Generative AI is increasingly used not only to produce text, but also to assist users in forming judgments, interpreting information, drafting formal documents, and deciding how to act. This paper argues that the central risk in such use is not merely misinformation, but AI-generated confidence: the tendency for fluent, coherent, and context-sensitive language to be mistaken for understanding, au…
