Today, we’re launching DeepThought-8B, a powerful AI reasoning model that breaks down problems into clear steps to reach conclusions. It runs on consumer GPUs, making sophisticated AI reasoning accessible without requiring high-end hardware. This model offers transparent reasoning, programmable approaches, and structured output, allowing users to understand how it arrives at answers. While it shows […]
Nodezator is a generalist Python node editor that allows users to visually connect Python functions to create flexible parametric behavior, data, applications, and snippets. It serves as a ready-to-use interface for defining nodes that can be distributed as Python libraries via PyPI. Users can easily convert callables from existing Python libraries into nodes without the […]
Sleep is essential, but can we rewrite the rules to sleep less and still feel refreshed? Familial Natural Short Sleep (FNSS) mutations allow some to sleep 1-2 hours less without negative effects. The DEC2 gene is implicated in FNSS, affecting orexin levels which regulate sleep. Orexin is also linked to narcolepsy and insomnia treatments. Reproducing […]
Introducing rust-query, a safe database querying library for Rust that eliminates the need for writing SQL. The author expresses dissatisfaction with existing database interaction options in Rust due to lack of compile-time guarantees and SQL verbosity. Rust-query aims to simplify database operations by deeply integrating with Rust’s type system. Unique features include explicit table aliasing, […]
Working alone, Wacław Szpakowski created intricate maze-like drawings with a single continuous line. Surprisingly, at eighty-five, he revealed a lifetime project in his treatise “Rhythmical Lines,” detailing complex geometrical abstractions he began at seventeen. The exhibit “Grounding Vision: Waclaw Szpakowski” showcases the largest U.S. display of his work at New York’s Miguel Abreu Gallery. The […]

In a recent YouTube video by Grant Sanderson at 3Blue1Brown, the concept of independent random variables and their cumulative distribution functions (CDFs) is explored. By generating random numbers and applying functions to them, it is shown how the sample CDFs can closely match the analytical solution. Using Matplotlib’s step method for plotting allows for a […]
