I've been scratching my head trying to think how to package assets for my #lispGameJam project, I really REALLY wanted to be able to inline assets as raw hex code, like I normally do for uxn projects, not have to read binary files, so I added a special form with square brackets that lets me to just that! This is the first sprite(a little arrow) I was able to store in my source code. Related

You probably feel guilty or stressed whenever you experience intense frustration or anxiety while working on a tough project. But cognitive scientists found that deep worry is actually a powerful tool that forces your brain to see hidden solutions you normally miss. You can turn your worst stress into a breakthrough using the Creative Desperation framework. Here is the exact method: 🧵 Related

Their words
So rather than thinking of death as we normally do as the world loses you, the neuroscience perspective is the inverse which is you lose the world.

Professor of psychology at UCLA, where he studies human memory, attention and cognitive ageing, and author of Better with Age: The Psychology of Successful Aging.
Their words
and you found that these nuns, how they aged, some of them certainly when they passed away, their brains had these kind of hallmark signs of dementia, plaques and tangles, but behaviorally they were still high functioning. So, it's really interesting that the hardware shows what we see as dementia and specifically Alzheimer's disease, but their behavior uh was that of a fairly healthy cognitive person.

I still meet people convinced that AI coding tools will soon reach a point where code quality, design, and even architecture are "solved". So I ran a small ad-hoc experiment. I’ve been working on a CLI tool and let agents plan and implement a first functionally correct version. I provided strict instructions around testing strategy, workflows, and implementation constraints. But I deliberately removed the @codescene MCP and the safeguards I normally rely on. Unsurprisingly, the resulting code suffered from a ton of problems. It would have been a shaky foundation to continue building on. How s… MCP Related

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public
statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they
do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in
this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the
serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to
quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter,
especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked
article and a belief on korrents.com
are left in their original language.
