Managed to visualize some neuron activity recorded from an HD-MEA (from an existing dataset). There's a chance all I'm visualizing is noise, but I'm not too sure: nicolasgatien.com/visualizing-...

I thought content-length used bytes...

Working with GPT4o mini and logit-biases.
I tried to ban "assist" and "today" in it's response to "Hello!"
So I got this as the output:
"Hello! How can I help you اليوم?"
From what I can tell, that's Arabic for "today".
Interesting...

My list of projects I'd like to build grows so much faster than the speed at which I can build them.
Always have an array of options to pick from whenever I wrap one up :]

One of my D&D players is playing a demonic paladin who was forced to take an oath, without knowing what it was.
So I made a cryptic demonic rune system, and I've slowly been dropping hints about how it actually works, so that the player can slowly decode their character's oath.
