Every so often, a paper comes along that feels like it bridges two worlds that have been talking past each other. Recently, I came across one of those papers: “Automatic network structure discovery of physics informed neural networks via knowledge distillation” by Ziti Liu and colleagues. It’s an ambitious piece of work that tries to [...]

I recently came across a talk by Emilia Casper, called “Breaking the Wall of Blind Obedience.” I resonate and completely agree with her message, and I encourage everyone to support her work and buy her book „Just Following Orders: Atrocities and the Brain Science of Obedience„. It feels crucial right now, in a time when [...]

In December 2024, I wrote here about which laptop I recommend for most people to buy (spoiler: the Macbook Air M4 or the Asus ROG Zephyrus G14). I’ve been watching the MacBook Air M4 listings on Amazon.de this past month because I was considering buying one. In September, many of them sat at around 869 [...]

I want to share with you a video that struck me on a deep level. It is a conversation with Pavel Durov, the founder of Telegram, who has built not only one of the world’s most widely used communication platforms but also a philosophy of life centered on freedom, discipline, and integrity. Listening to him [...]

I want to share with you a video posted today by Prof. Mario Lanza where he presents a detailed and inspiring overview of the growing memristor industry. His presentation is based on his recent review article published in Nature. For me, as someone who has worked across different layers of computing, from developing solar-powered systems [...]

Many of us (especially the younger ones) have ideas like the ones here, here, and here, but rarely the time (due to other obligations to survive) and the funds to realize them. I was a bachelor student when I first experienced how hard it was to buy some of the microcontrollers and other modules I [...]

We are visitors on this earth for only a few years. Some are born into generational wealth, others struggle every day to survive, but in the end all of us are forced to pay for this „Hotel Earth“ usually by having to work in a job. Emil Cioran once wrote in Degradation through Work that [...]

After spending a few days in Berlin, one thing became clear to us: we need to move to a bigger city in Germany as soon as possible. The city is full of life, with people who are relaxed, open-minded, and often speak English. We’ve mentioned this idea before, but our visit confirmed it. Ideally, we [...]

After a few years away, we finally returned to the city where we first met: Berlin. We took the train from Chemnitz, excited to spend a few days exploring and seeing how the city has changed. A few days earlier, we booked our tickets through the Bahn website. We decided to go with 1st class, [...]
