Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly deployed as autonomous agents that make consumption decisions on behalf of users. This shift raises fundamental questions for consumer theory, which has traditionally modeled humans as the primary decision-makers. In this paper, we introduce LLM Consumer Behavior Theory, a new field of study concerned with analyzing consumer behavior in agentic markets. Drawing on classical and behavioral economics a...

Claude is built to work the way you work, and in Claude Code you can customize it. There are seven methods for instructing Claude's behavior: CLAUDE.md files, rules, skills, subagents, hooks, output styles, and appending the system prompt. Each method controls: When an instruction loads into cont... Read more ›

Can meditation really help conditions like migraine, anxiety, insomnia, chronic pain, memory problems, and stroke recovery? Modern neuroscience increasingly says yes. Research shows that meditation can reshape brain networks, reduce stress hormones, improve sleep, enhance cognitive function, and promote neuroplasticity. In this article, Dr. Shubhankar Mishra explores how an ancient spiritual practice is emerging as a powerful tool for neurological wellness, bridging the gap between modern sci... Read more ›
A friend of mine made a cool calculator and unit converter. It parses natural English phrases like “how many inches are in 3 feet?” and “300 miles / 65 mph in hours and minutes” and “download 10GB 1Gbps”. You can access it from web (including PWA), CLI or as a library. It has a strong FOSS philosophy behind it. Read more ›

How Biology Helps Shape Choice in Behavioral Economics The field of behavioral economics is facing several challenges and opportunities this century; the discipline is trying to find its own identity and position within science and applications. This includes debates around behavioral economics’ most fundamental idea—the causes of human decision-making. Human biology has a more important […] Read more ›

One of the default "auto modes" for writers is the RSS feed. They want to share their writing somehow. Plenty of writers don't own a domain name, but somewhere on their site sits a clunky RSS file in XML format. A horrible-looking file. If you have never seen one and feel like hating yourself, open any rss.xml from a random website or... Read more ›
🚀 How Lightweight LLMs Can Use Tools Without Large Compute: A Prompt-Driven Tool-Calling Approach AI #LLM #MachineLearning #AIAgents #PromptEngineering #OpenSourceAI 🚀 Introduction Large Language Models (LLMs) like GPT-4 or Claude are extremely powerful, but they come with a major limitation: they require huge computational resources. But what if smaller, open-source models could also perform complex reasoning tasks—without needing massive GPUs? This question led to my research: “Prompt-Drive... Read more ›
This study presents a quantitative structure-property relationship (QSPR) framework that integrates graph theory with machine learning to predict key physicochemical properties of diverse organic compounds. A data set of 275 structurally diverse organic compounds, including alkanes, alkenes, alkynes, cyclic systems, and aromatic hydrocarbons–was represented as molecular graphs, and their topological features were encoded using two complementary degree-based indices: the Sombor index (SO) and ...
