Animals often use recent experience to guide future choices. Whole-brain imaging in larval zebrafish (Danio rerio) reveals a dedicated neural circuit that governs history-biased decisions: the thalamus maintains the most recent event as a stable pattern of neuronal activity, and the brainstem integrates recent experiences into a continuous signal that biases future action. Whole-brain calcium imaging in the zebrafish reveals how information about events in the recent past drives future behavi... Read more ›
My wife doesn't want to put her artwork online as she does not want it to be used to train LLMs. I wonder if this has culminated in any libraries that makes it feasible for me to build her a custom site where the artwork is processed to defeat LLM training. I don't have a lot of front-end experience, but can cobble together a simple site with a static site generator. (I have used eleventy for my band's website.) Read more ›
Minimal container images often ship without curl, wget, or any HTTP client at all. Bash can still make an HTTP/1.1 request on its own through the /dev/tcp pseudo-device, without installing anything. Read more ›
CVE is a database used for categorizing and reporting security vulnerabilities in software. There are various kinds of vulnerabilities that can be reported. Some of them are caused simply by bugs in the program logic (like a recent CVE reported in Cargo), but some of the most nasty ones are caused by memory unsafety, which can easily lead to exploits. In this post I want to focus on the latter kind of CVEs, how they are reported, especially in libraries, and how it differs between Rust and C ... Read more ›

Mathematicians manipulate sets with confidence almost every day, rarely making mistakes. Few of us, however, could accurately quote what are often referred to as "the" axioms of set theory. This suggests that we all carry around with us, perhaps subconsciously, a reliable body of operating principles for manipulating sets. What if we were to take some of those principles and adopt them as our axioms instead? The message of this article is that this can be done, in a simple, practical way (due... Read more ›

Transcription elongation factors associate with RNA Polymerase II to regulate gene expression and coordinate chromatin regulation and RNA processing. This study presents an evolutionary analysis of ten core transcription elongation factors and shows that all ten factors originated in the last eukaryotic common ancestor and display both conserved and lineage-specific domains.

CS 6120 is a PhD-level Cornell CS course by Adrian Sampson on programming language implementation. It covers universal compilers topics like intermediate representations, data flow, and “classic” optimizations as well as more research-flavored topics such as parallelization, just-in-time compilation, and garbage collection. The work consists of reading papers and open-source hacking tasks, which use LLVM and an educational IR invented just for this class. Read more ›

Psychological traits reflecting neuroticism, depressive symptoms, loneliness, and purpose in life are risk factors of AD dementia; however, the underlying biological mechanisms remain largely unknown. Using multi-omic data from the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex of 822 decedents in the Religious Orders Study and Rush Memory and Aging Project, we utilized a previously derived multi-omic brain molecular pseudotime representing molecular distance from no cognitive impairment (NCI) to AD dementia...
