The famously reclusive novelist amassed a collection of thousands of books ranging in topics from philosophical treatises to advanced mathematics to the naked mole-rat

In this tutorial, we set out to recreate the spirit of the Hierarchical Reasoning Model (HRM) using a free Hugging Face model that runs locally. We walk through the design of a lightweight yet structured reasoning agent, where we act as both architects and experimenters. By breaking problems into subgoals, solving them with Python, critiquing the outcomes, and synthesizing a final answer, we can experience how hierarchical planning and execution can enhance reasoning performance. This process enables us to see, in real-time, how a brain-inspired workflow can be implemented without requiring massive model sizes or expensive APIs. Check out the Paper and FULL…

A common refrain has emerged in the Bitcoin community: fix the money, fix the world. While there is every reason to be optimistic about Bitcoin’s impact on society it is not enough to rely on lines of code to fix our world. Rather, in this essay on the ethics of immutability, I argue that fixing oneself is the true revolution, and in turn, collectively, as actors in this global network, we are the revolution of change. Bitcoin was designed to be decentralized, censorship-resistant, open source and unconfiscatable, qualities that set it apart from traditional banking and financial infrastructure. Bitcoin’s architecture…
