AI will slightly drain the swamp of higher ed.
https://www.betonit.ai/p/how-ai-will-change-higher-education
I’ve spent much of my career arguing that the main function of education is not to teach useful skills (or even useless skills), but to certify students’ employability. By and large, the reason our customers are on campus is to credibly show, or “signal,” their intelligence, work ethic, and sheer conformity. While we like to picture education as job training, it is largely a passport to the real training that happens on the job. How will AI change this? To start, we should bet against any major disruption. Sheer conformity is one of the top traits students want to signal, and doing anything radically new signals… non-conformity. Few students will stop attending traditional colleges to “go” to virtual AI training centers. And since most majors are already barely job-related, few students will rethink their majors either.

Zermelo-Fraenkel set theory with the axiom of choice,” or ZFC

It is a paradox without resolution: The foundations of mathematics are as universal, as solid as anything humanity knows, a core part of nearly every mathematical truth. And yet they remain simply what we choose to believe.

Scientists just discovered what coffee is really doing to your gut and brain | ScienceDaily
https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/05/260502233911.htm
Coffee doesn’t just energize—it actively reshapes the gut and mind. Researchers found that both caffeinated and decaf coffee altered gut bacteria in ways linked to better mood and lower stress. nterestingly, improvements in learning and memory were only seen in participants who drank decaffeinated coffee. This finding suggests that compounds other than caffeine, such as polyphenols, may be responsible for certain cognitive benefits. On the other hand, caffeinated coffee showed distinct advantages. Only participants consuming caffeine experienced reduced anxiety along with better attention and alertness. Caffeine was also associated with a lower risk of inflammation.

Good article on Agent Skills
https://addyosmani.com/blog/agent-skills/
This is additional documentation for an Agent Skill that I should look at. This may help me understand the idea of "context": "A skill is a markdown file with frontmatter that gets injected into the agent’s context when the situation calls for it." "A skill is not reference documentation. It is not “everything you should know about testing.” It is a workflow: a sequence of steps the agent follows, with checkpoints that produce evidence, ending in a defined exit criterion."

Turn your Obsidian Canvas into a board of titles : r/ObsidianMD
https://www.reddit.com/r/ObsidianMD/comments/1t2bbg5/turn_your_obsidian_canvas_into_a_board_of_titles/
The mode I live in is Headline mode: every Canvas card collapses down to just its # H1, so the canvas becomes a map of titles instead of a wall of paragraphs. Clicking a card opens a side panel with the full content, editable inline. If I just want to read through a flow without accidentally typing into things, I flip on Read-only mode. I don't understand how the Agent creates notes, but this looks great.

Run a 35B AI Model on Mac Mini 16GB + Live Model Swap Guide (2026)
https://thoughts.jock.pl/p/local-llm-35b-mac-mini-gemma-swap-production-2026?r=nr6w1&triedRedirect=true
Justin sent me this. This is a substantial difference between Ollama and llama.cpp: So what does --mmap do? Instead of loading the entire model file into RAM (which is what Ollama tried, and why it choked), llama.cpp memory-maps the file. The OS treats the model like a virtual address space backed by your SSD. And Gemma 4 sounds fantastic.
