I sat for a long while with my complicated feelings about "vibe coding". It is _genuinely_ empowering for many — opening a door to creating with code that otherwise would never exist. Also? It enables a dangerous dependency that could be a path to serfdom for coders.

A serene and inviting forest trail unfolds in this lush, green landscape. The trail, a narrow dirt path, winds its way through a dense forest of tall evergreen trees. The trees, with their vibrant green needles, create a natural canopy overhead, casting dappled shadows on the path below.

The forest floor is a mix of green grass, moss, and scattered rocks, adding texture and depth to the scene. The path is bordered by patches of wildflowers and ferns, their delicate leaves swaying gently in the…

A massive freight train is pulling double decker cargo containers. The camera angle is first person POV as I’m running across a metal and wood pedestrian bridge over the Roanoke River.

What actually is the mastodon upgrade path across minor releases, like v4.3.18 -> v4.5.6? The release notes generally mention only upgrades from the most recent patch release in the same minor (vA.B.n-1 -> vA.B.n). Are huge jumps safe, assuming the new minimum requirements are met? Are backwards-time forward-version (eg v4.3.18 -> v4.4.0) upgrades invalid? Are all intervening database migrations handled automatically at service startup? Any gotchas?

De afstand tussen de VS en Venezuela is zo'n 2500 km.
De afstand tussen Amsterdam en Sint Petersburg is nog geen 1800 km. En dan laat ik Kaliningrad (veel dichterbij) nog voor wat het is.
Kortom wij liggen volgens Trump in de invloedssfeer van Putin.

I’m not on board with this.
Instead of an “are you over 18” question for a feature I don’t want, let me skip it and keep the feature off.
Also, didn’t Vispero get my contact details in order to take my money?
“Vispero Accounts: An Explanation, an Apology, and a Path Forward”
vispero.com…

Q: Why do you need my age?
A: Some AI features legally require users to be over a certain age. A simple confirmation (“Are you over 18?”) will replace collecting birth dates.
Q: What information is actually required to create an account?
A: Starting soon, only two things will be required:
1. Basic contact information (name and email),
2. A simple age confirmation.
All other fields will become optional.

I took a survey: Share your thoughts on the new government so far.
As the year comes to a close, we’re reflecting on how much has shifted since Mark Carney took office. In a short time, this government has pushed through sweeping changes with lasting consequences.
We’re preparing to push harder in 2026 to make sure this government chooses people over profit. Before we chart our path forward, we want to hear directly from you
Can you join me & take the survey?

My favorite Organum record! David Jackman got his start in Cornelius Cardew’s Scratch Orchestra and continued down his own improvising path. In the 1990’s he collaborated with a variety of artists, but that fizzled out by the end of the century. His newer records are available from Die Stadt or a distributor in your country.

It’s about this time of year I like to check my backups and download my archives.
One archive I download is the archive of my Mastodon posts. Pretty much the only one now I’ve left the corporate web really.
I also like to copy the contents of my public fediverse posts into my own diary within my vimwiki.
Keep it all in one place for easy and local search.
Here’s the script I use, it’s very short and just copies the content of every post in the archive into a new diary entry in the vimwiki diary.
If it finds something already there, it appends.
It checks if it’s already written this post into the diary to avoid duplicating it when you run it over and every again every month or year or whatever.
Paste it into a new text-file called toVimWiki.php, download and unzip your mastodon archive, and run the script with php, passing it the path to the archive’s outbox.json and the root diary directory.
My diary is honestly mostly just public posts these days. Ain’t much in it I won’t blab about on the internet for likes and lols.

Modeling, Segmenting and Statistics of Transient Spindles via Two-Dimensional Ornstein-Uhlenbeck Dynamics

Abstract: We develop here a stochastic framework for modeling and segmenting transient spindle- like oscillatory bursts in electroencephalogram (EEG) signals. At the modeling level, individ- ual spindles are represented as path realizations of a two-dimensional Ornstein{Uhlenbeck (OU) process with a stable focus, providing a low-dimensional stochastic dynamical sys- tem whose trajectories reproduce key morphological features of spindles, including their characteristic rise{decay amplitude envelopes. On the signal processing side, we propose a segmentation procedure based on Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD) combined with the detection of a central extremum, which isolates single spindle events and yields a collection of oscillatory atoms. This construction enables a systematic statistical analysis of spindle features: we derive empirical laws for the distributions of amplitudes, inter-spindle intervals, and rise/decay durations, and show that these exhibit exponential tails consistent with the underlying OU dynamics. We further extend the model to a pair of weakly coupled OU processes with distinct natural frequencies, generating a stochastic mixture of slow, fast, and mixed spindles in random temporal order. The resulting framework provides a data- driven framework for the analysis of transient oscillations in EEG and, more generally, in nonstationary time series.
