Over the past year, AI agents have evolved from merely answering questions to attempting to get real tasks done. However, a significant bottleneck has emerged: while most agents may appear intelligent during a conversation, they often ‘drop the ball’ when it comes to executing real-world tasks. Whether it’s an office workflow that breaks when requirements […]

In this tutorial, we implement IWE: an open-source, Rust-powered personal knowledge management system that treats markdown notes as a navigable knowledge graph. Since IWE is a CLI/LSP tool designed for local editors. We build a realistic developer knowledge base from scratch, wire up wiki-links and markdown links into a directed graph, and then walk through […]

Neuroscience has long been a field of divide and conquer. Researchers typically map specific cognitive functions to isolated brain regions—like motion to area V5 or faces to the fusiform gyrus—using models tailored to narrow experimental paradigms. While this has provided deep insights, the resulting landscape is fragmented, lacking a unified framework to explain how the […]
