Inside a pupa you can rewind: deriving every frame from t alone (Canvas 2D)

A caterpillar becomes a pupa and then an adult. Inside the pupa, much of the larval body breaks down and the adult body is rebuilt. I made a page th…

CO₂ Dynamic Shielding: A Forgotten Spacecraft Design Tool? While investigating 3I/ATLAS, I stumbled onto an idea that may have applications far beyo…

How to Become Spiritually Western as a Japanese Researcher: DEV and Academia.edu as Underground Academia, Horizon Europe as Orthodoxy

TL;DR On 30 July 2026, Japan officially became an associated country to Horizon Europe, the EU's €93.5B research programme. This is the orthodoxy: i…

Why a machine must be allowed to be wrong

Why a machine must be allowed to be wrong I built meta-science for the All Things Agentic Hackathon, and I wrote this piece for the purposes of ente…

Why Statistics Is the Backbone of Data Science

Statistics isn't a supporting subject in data science, it's the thing that makes the "science" part of data science actually mean something. Code Gi…

Germany's Energy Revolution: Wind and Solar Overtake Fossil Fuels for the First Time In 2026, Germany crossed a historic threshold: for the first ti…

Brain Science: Friday, July 17

Brain Science Friday: What Neuroscience Actually Says About How You Should Be Studying Right Now Here's a fact that should change everything about h…

Taotuner’s Informational-Processual Monism (IPM) explores how systems maintain coherence through change using computational models of Lack, coupling, integration, and persistence. Through Python simulations such as the Lack Kernel and related experiments.

An AI Science Workbench Needs a Reproducibility Graph, Not Just Chat History

Anthropic announced Claude Science on June 30, 2026. It describes a research workbench that can use scientific tools, create artifacts, run speciali…

Biot Number: How to Know When a Cooling Object Has a Single Temperature

Pull a hot steel bolt out of a furnace and quench it in oil, and a fair question is: does the bolt cool from the outside in, with a sharp temperatur…

The Intermediate Disturbance Hypothesis Is Contested: What Actually Keeps a Habitat Diverse

The intermediate disturbance hypothesis (IDH), that biodiversity peaks at intermediate disturbance, is now contested, because the famous humped curv…

Caffeine Is the Most Effective Legal Ergogenic. Pre-Workouts Bury This Under $30 of Filler.

Caffeine is the single most-researched performance-enhancing substance in sports science. It's also the primary reason pre-workout supplements actua…

I Built an Interactive 3D Universe Map Connecting the Yin-Yang Diagram to 11 Scientific Fields

I built an unusual educational website: a bilingual (EN/ZH) platform that maps the ancient Taiji (Yin-Yang) diagram onto 11 modern scientific domain…

Your UMAP Looks Great. But Can You Prove the Annotation Is Correct?

How I built a production scanpy pipeline that does not just annotate single-cell data -- it measures how accurately it did so, where it fails, and w…

Truthful AI Under Pressure: What Kradle.AI Might Reveal About Fable 5

The Critical State of Cyberspacs

NATO is currently in a ‘grey zone’: increasingly being challenged in cyberspace while unable to attribute attacks, thus failing to deter. Simultaneo…

Future of AI Hardware

Over the few days I studied computer architecture and it really changed my view of Artificial Intelligence. I started with RISC-V International. Lea…

Differential Pair Impedance: Why USB and HDMI Routing Is a Geometry Problem

Every fast interface on a modern board — USB, HDMI, PCIe, Ethernet, SATA — sends its data as a differential pair: two traces carrying equal and oppo…

I forked MathLive to make basic chemistry formulas less awkward
