Here I'll talk about math, programming, AI (Reinforcement Learning), Robotics, and Free Software.

More than 1,000 years ago, Maya dental specialists drilled precise cavities into teeth and fitted them with jade, turquoise and other stones. Plant-based cements secured the inlays, some of which remain intact today—a remarkable blend of craftsmanship, botanical knowledge and ancient dentistry.

With the new trend towards having AI as a complementary feature in any software, it is urgent to develop software that preserves everything locally and without any access to AI models, just because there are some users who like to use technology more than being used by it. #FreeSoftware

Humanity grew up believing the part of the myth that tells everyone that humanity is the center and goal of "creation." Now, when AI looks like it could be the next version, the new sapiens, humanity is afraid of losing that central position. It's just evolution.

A paradox in accountable development is: more new features lead to a larger attack surface, but fewer features lead to less optimal use of device capabilities. More multipurpose devices lead to less electronic waste, but more dedicated devices lead to more electronic waste.
