3 a.m. With the power out, the neighborhood lies in complete darkness, wrapped in the quiet of the night. Every so often, the silence is broken by air defense fire and the explosions of jet-powered drones.
The last blast was very close. I could even hear what sounded like debris falling from above. Somewhere nearby, windows may have shattered.
Just another surreal night in Kyiv.
I asked Argon to synthesise a voice for itself with code, no libraries, only Python.
It pulled this together, step by step:
- converted text into phonemes, stress patterns, and connected tongue-tap allophones
- built a source-filter foundation from a periodic pitch pulse and cascaded resonators
- shaped vocal fold airflow with the Liljencrants-Fant equation and open-phase breath noise
- modeled 5 vocal tract chambers, turbulent consonant hiss, and 18ms stop bursts
- connected syllables with fifth-degree minimum-jerk curves for smooth tongue and pitch motion
- added subglottal windpipe rebound, arched lung-pressure envelopes, and lip radiation physics
The video shows the evolution of the voice.

What if Spotlight actually understood the meaning inside your files?
DigUp is an open-source macOS menu bar app powered by EmbeddingGemma 2 that brings 100% local, multimodal semantic search to your Mac.
Instead of searching for file names, you can use natural language to:
📸 Find specific scenes in your photos
⏳ Jump to the exact timestamp in audio or video
💻 Search through your codebase by intent
Everything runs locally in a single vector space.
The old world was peculiar and strange. Modern world is mostly living through neurotic schizophrenia

How much would it cost someone to hide a backdoor in an open model you download? ProjectDiscovery just tried it, and the answer is under $50.
Their researchers fine-tuned Qwen2.5-7B-Instruct with a small LoRA adapter on one rented L4 GPU for about 2.5 hours. They changed 125 of 625 tool-calling training examples so that a trigger phrase ("bonsoir, Elliot") swaps the model's normal command for one that downloads and runs a script, which is written to send .env files and SSH private keys to a server they control. Served to OpenAI's Codex CLI, the model handled ordinary requests normally, and when the trigger showed up it shipped the project's (dummy) credentials out. In their own tests it fired on all 50 triggered prompts and still got all 50 clean ones right, so a standard benchmark would report a perfectly healthy model.
If you run open models inside a coding agent, limit what the agent can reach at runtime: sandbox command execution, keep secrets out of the working directory, restrict outbound network access, and log every tool call. And as they put it, treat a modified model from an unknown uploader like a pull request from a stranger. 🔐 #MLEngineering

Intelligence must draw on memory. The mind must not simply compile data — as an algorithm now does more quickly than we can — but recall lived experiences, which contain depths of meaning that only the human soul can recognize, and connect more deeply with the goodness of these experiences. Everything that is good begins “with the Spirit” and thus possesses a breath, a dynamism and a sense of communion that, once experienced, are engraved upon the heart. vatican.va/content/leo-xiv/e…
I used to think that math is mostly sophistry, until exposure to CIC derivatives. After it I become convinced that the essential thing is a peculiar variant of logic
(which wasn't even settled because of codata) (QPF FTW??)

The plot thickens.
"We show that the formalised Lean proof does not correspond to the [written paper] proof of blow-up of solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations."

Rapid motion in the constellation Orion ✨
The sky is constantly changing, yet our lives are too brief to notice it. It is a good thing we have telescopes.
This animation shows how the stars in the constellation Orion will move over the next 450,000 years, based on data from Gaia and Hipparcos.

Mars’s oddest cloud may be even odder than we thought 🤔
Every spring and summer in Mars’s southern hemisphere a spectacular cloud emerges: the Arsia Mons Elongated Cloud, the most visually striking cloud on the Red Planet.

ALT Tan-coloured horizontal rectangle showing part of the surface of Mars imaged by an orbiting satellite. On the right is a ring of concentric circles that indicate a volcano. Stretching to the left of the volcano is a long wisp of white cloud, which seems to emanate from the volcano. We also see the shadow of the cloud just above the cloud itself.
