Okay, so I stumbled upon this really cool generative NFT project called Pattern Retrieval, and it's honestly one of the most unique things I've seen in a while. It's from @adamilenich, who you might know from his work with @opensea. The whole concept is pretty mind-bending cos it takes every single printable ASCII character you know, letters, numbers, and symbols and treats them like delicate memories. These memories are stored in something called a Hopfield network. Then, the project deliberately messes with them, adding random noise, and lets the network try to piece them back together. It does this by simulating this old-school CRT phosphor screen, complete with that fuzzy glow and scanlines. What's interesting is that each piece also has its own generated audio. It starts out sounding like that static and noise, but as the memory gets restored, the audio transforms into this really calming soundscape, almost like it's singing. The entire thing is just one self-contained HTML file that plays on a loop in your browser. It really makes you think about memory, how things decay, and how patterns try to hold their form. If you're curious, you can check out the live site at and even interact with some of the examples yourself. It feels like a really deep dive into how we perceive and reconstruct information.

Henry Nowak's death is more horrific than you think: >Henry was stabbed ~11:30 pm, Henry was not pronounced dead until 67 minutes later (12:37 am). It gets worse... > During this time. Dagwa & his brother (who arrived shortly after the attack, it was his brother who phoned 999, not to phone an ambulance, he phoned police alleging Henry attacked them. >It's been reported that there was some deliberation/ delay before phoning 999. Alleging Henry drunkenly attacked them (Henry was sober; blood alcohol below the drink-drive limit). Digwa's brother wanted to punish Henry. >Exact quotes from the call (read out in court at Southampton Crown Court): “We’ve just got attacked racially by some white person. He’s physically attacked my brother, we’re Sikhs, we wear a turban and he’s just attacked my brother. We’re restraining him right now because he’s just attacked my brother and took my brother’s turban off. He also said, he’s verbally attacked my brother racially. I’m not having this as a regular occurrence, I live here, I’m not having this a regular occurrence. He ain’t fighting people, he’s racially attacking people, that’s what he’s doing. Nah, he sees some brown people, that’s what it was.” > were restraining Henry until the police arrived (Digwa stole Henry's phone so he couldn't get help). >When the police arrived, Digwa's father was holding Henry against a wall (his father said: "He keeps dropping down, so I am just trying to keep him up". There was also a visible blood trail, but it is unknown when officers first noticed it (different sources described it when the police entered the scene, another was after Henry passed out). >His mother removed the murder weapon from the scene. >Police bodycam footage was played in court (audio only, no video; another source said a transcript was read): Henry says “I am dying”; Digwa replies “You’re not dying bro.” {Approximately 10 minutes later}: Henry says “You stabbed me”; Digwa denies it and accuses Nowak of recording him. Henry's final recorded words: “Please brother, I can’t breathe.” {He passed out a few minutes later} >Before the attack, Henry was recording a video of Digwa on his phone, it is a weird exchange: Henry singing/yawning, then addressing Digwa: “Innit bad man, what bad man. You’re a bad man, say you’re a bad man, go on.” Digwa replied: “I am a bad man.” The footage ended shortly before the stabbing. Some critical details that haven't been released: >The time the 999 call was made. >The full 999 transcript. >The time the police arrived. >The time an ambulance was called (an air ambulance >flew in a doctor). I question the order of the stabbing: >There's a lack of defensive wounds on Henry's arms and hands (Henry was sober). >I believe Henry was stabbed in the groin and the back if the legs while he was trying to scale a fence to get away (you can't easily get to a man's groin area, there's a reason they're nicknamed the 'crown jewels'). Also, stab wounds to that area can be catastrophic; The aorta and arteries to the legs (the largest in the body) flow through there, not to mention the nerve endings. The way they pinned Henry against a wall, where he would be losing blood faster. >Given what I have read so far, I don't understand why there haven't been charges against the brother & father. They were aware that Henry had been stabbed, but they continued to forcefully detain him (the very definition of false imprisonment). I'd argue it was sadistic torture. You can make the excuse of a single Sekh having mental health issues (they will), but that doesn't excuse the actions of Digwa's brother, mother & father. Some of the research & sources:

Chinese shadow puppetry is a form of theatre acted by colourful silhouette figures made from leather or paper, accompanied by music and singing. Manipulated by puppeteers using rods, the figures create the illusion of moving images on a translucent cloth screen illuminated from behind. Many elder shadow puppetry artists can perform dozens of traditional plays, which are orally transmitted or found in written form. 📹Jiang Jinbo

Your brain has a circuit that doesn't know you live in a city. Its only job is to monitor whether birds are still singing. Right now, in this room, it is on. The circuit predates primates. Mammals have been using ambient soundscape continuity as a predator-detection system for roughly 200 million years. Birds stop singing when something larger moves through their territory. For most of mammalian history, a forest full of song meant no large predator was nearby, and the cessation of sound was the warning. Your nervous system never updated this software. The Max Planck Institute tested the inverse in 2022 with 295 participants. Six minutes of birdsong dropped anxiety with a medium effect size. Six minutes of traffic noise raised depression with the same. The effect worked on subjects who lived in dense urban environments and had no regular contact with nature. The brain still ran the check. Birdsong sits in the 1,000 to 8,000 Hz range. Your brainstem reads continuous patterns in that band as a signal that nothing dangerous is currently moving through the environment. EEG data shows birdsong at 45 to 50 decibels boosts alpha wave activity by 14.1% relative to silence. Alpha is the brainwave signature of relaxed alertness. Push the same birdsong above 60 decibels and the response flips. Stress markers rise 29%. The circuit only trusts the signal at the volume of quiet conversation, which is exactly the volume birds sing at from a typical distance. Three things happen simultaneously when the brain registers ambient safety. The amygdala downregulates. The parasympathetic nervous system takes over from the sympathetic. Heart rate variability rises, cortisol drops. The posterior cingulate cortex, which sits at the center of the rumination circuit, quiets down. King's College London tracked this through a smartphone study with over 1,200 participants and found the mood lift lasted hours after the sound stopped. People diagnosed with depression got the same response as healthy controls. Most of what gets labeled mental fatigue is hypervigilance running in the background. Birdsong tells the circuit it can stand down, and the brain reallocates the freed compute everywhere else. A quiet park feels different from a quiet office because the parks have sentinels.
