Researchers from the Paris Brain Institute have gained new insights into the neurological process of dying. They found that during oxygen deprivation, the brain undergoes a series of changes, including a surge in gamma and beta waves that are potentially linked to near-death experiences. This is followed by a “wave of death” that marks the […]
The author presents a novel approach to the problem of Kalman Filtering using Transformers, which are autoregressive deep learning architectures. Transformers have recently demonstrated impressive performance in various tasks, including vision, language, and robotics. In this study, the author shows that Transformers can approximate the Kalman Filter with high accuracy. They introduce a causally-masked Transformer, […]
OKRs (Objectives and Key Results) are a widely used goal-setting framework that helps companies track progress and ensure alignment towards specific objectives. However, in my experience, OKRs can sometimes become rigid and frustrating due to their heavy focus on metrics and constant measurement.

Biscuit tokens provide decentralized verification through public key cryptography, allowing any application with the public key to verify the token. A unique feature of Biscuit is the ability to generate new tokens with fewer rights, such as restricting write access or adding an expiration date. Authorization policies for Biscuit are written in a logic language, […]
This C library provides an implementation of channels, inspired by Hoare and popularized by the Go programming language. It supports buffered and unbuffered channels, as well as the select statement in both blocking and non-blocking forms. Currently, the library works with Ptreads, but support for Win32 threads is still in progress. To use the library, […]
