https://maalvika.substack.com/p/being-too-ambitious-is-a-clever-form
- There is a moment, just before creation begins, when the work exists in its most perfect form in your imagination. It lives in a crystalline space between intention and execution, where every word is precisely chosen, every brushstroke deliberate, every note inevitable, but only in your mind. In this prelapsarian state, the work is flawless because it is nothing: a ghost of pure potential that haunts the creator with its impossible beauty.

- Companies cannot contractually exclude or limit their liability for software or cybersecurity defects.
- Increased litigation risk is expected because of expanded liability and collective redress mechanisms.

https://www.wildbarethoughts.com/p/taste-is-the-new-intelligence
-
Taste is often dismissed as something shallow or subjective. But at its core, it’s a form of literacy—a way of reading the world. Good taste isn’t about being right. It’s about being attuned. To rhythm, to proportion, to vibe. It’s knowing when something is off, even if you can’t fully articulate why.
-
The people with taste aren’t always the loudest. They’re the ones whose work has resonance. Whose rooms feel calm. Whose recommendations always land. They have an internal tuning fork that rejects the cheap dopamine of novelty for something more enduring.
-
This isn’t just about design. It’s about thought. Taste is what allows you to skim past the performative noise, the fake depth, the viral bait, and know—instinctively—what’s worth your time.

https://medium.com/@plonska.ola_24342/no-code-tools-for-data-science-in-2025-607d41a3f610 - I want to make parts of making OSIB plugins no-code/low-code, maybe there’s some ideas I can take from here…
- Integrated AI Assistance — smart guidance. Modern tools need built-in AI agents that can explain results, generate workflows, and even teach concepts in real time.
- Full Data Science Workflow Support — from loading and cleaning data to modeling, evaluation, and reporting. No-code tools must cover the entire lifecycle, not just charts or dashboards.
- Model Transparency & Explainability — especially important in regulated industries or critical applications. Users need visual explanations, feature importance, and interpretable outputs — even without code.
- Offline & Secure Execution — privacy matters. Tools should allow local work with sensitive data, without requiring constant cloud access.
- Smooth Transition to Code — the best tools are no-code by default, but not code-locked. They should allow exporting workflows, reviewing code, or switching to script mode when needed.
- Collaboration & Reproducibility — In 2025, teams work together asynchronously. Tools must support shared workflows, versioning, and notebook-style exports. Support for AI & AutoML — manual feature engineering is out; smart automation is in. Users expect tools to suggest models, tune hyperparameters, and optimize pipelines, with just a few clicks. MLJAR Studio
Advantages:
Built-in AI Agent (3 modes) — Code Assistant, Data Analyst, and Teacher — supports code generation, data insights, and interactive learning. Fully offline — ideal for working with sensitive data in enterprise and regulated environments. Code export — every step can be saved as clean Python code that is compatible with Jupyter Notebooks. AutoML included — MLJAR-supervised provides fast model training, a leaderboard, model interpretation, and detailed reports. Simple desktop installation — no manual setup of packages or environments. Ready to use code recipes — called Piece of code, sorted by categories. Works with all data types. Complete transparency — you always see what’s happening under the hood.
Limitations:
There are no built-in cloud collaboration features (but you can share the notebook as a web app or dashboard with Mercury). Desktop-only — not accessible from a browser.
KNIME
- Visual workflow builder — powerful drag-and-drop interface for building complex data pipelines.
- Extensive library of nodes — covers data prep, ML, NLP, database access, Python, R, Spark.
- Offline mode — works entirely on local machines.
- Strong integrations — supports external tools, scripting, and enterprise connectors.
Limitations:
- Can be overwhelming for beginners — lots of configuration steps.
- Limited support for modern ML frameworks like transformers or LLMs.
- High memory usage on large workflows.Basic AI assistance is available via LLM extension (as of KNIME 5.2), but is limited in capabilities compared to native, notebook-integrated agents.

this is really interesting, I want to take some notes on bioelectricy: https://archive.ph/WXcSE
- https://www.liebertpub.com/doi/10.1089/bioe.2022.0012
-
What does seem to be key is that replication of life requires a structure that can, when ready, dissipate energy, but to grow and repair it also requires a polymer containing the instructions to build new bits, which perhaps suggests a key component of the definition life is that it can rebuild damaged components, enabling it to maintain dissipation over extended periods of time and robustness to adapt to variations in the environment.
