Functions in Hyperspace

Functions describe the world. Join me on a tour of hyperspace, and see the many strange creatures that live there. They are just functions with lots of inputs and outputs. They are parametric surfaces that take inputs u and v, and output spatial x, y, z coordinates, and r, g, b, a color outputs. This produces a colored 3D surface. Then you can add additional inputs and visualize a single slice of each input parameter, and slide through different parameter values to see different slices of the function over time. This causes the colored surface to evolve over time.
I take my time to build up the mathematical intuitions behind visualizing functions, starting with 1-in-1-out functions, and pushing it up to 7-in-7-out functions, and beyond.

Ongoing SoundCloud issue blocks VPN users with 403 server error

Users accessing the SoundCloud audio streaming platform through a virtual private network (VPN) connection are denied access to the service and see a 403 ‘forbidden’ error.

SoundCloud is a large audio distribution platform focused on user-uploaded content, built around independent creators rather than licensed music from major labels. It has at least 140 million registered users and 40 million creators.

Due to its open, unmoderated nature, the platform has been banned in China since 2014, in Russia since 2022, and is restricted in Venezuela, Kazakhstan, and other countries. Because of this, users in these regions rely on a VPN or proxy solution to bypass the blocks.

Can We Actually Regrow Teeth? The Science Behind the Tooth Regeneration Shot

In this video, Whitney, a registered dental hygienist, breaks down the viral headlines about a “tooth regrowth shot” being tested in Japan. She explains the real science behind the drug — how it targets the USAG-1 protein to potentially reactivate dormant tooth buds — and clears up common misconceptions about tooth regeneration research. From animal trials to current human safety studies, Whitney dives into what’s fact, what’s hype, and what this breakthrough could mean for the future of dentistry.

Scale of living things

Neal Agarwal published another gift to the internet with Size of Life. It shows the scale of living things, starting with DNA, to hemoglobin, and keeps going up.

The scientific illustrations are hand-drawn (without AI) by Julius Csotonyi. Sound & FX by Aleix Ramon and cello music by Iratxe Ibaibarriaga calm the mind and encourage a slow observation of things, but also grow in complexity and weight with the scale. It kind of feels like a meditation exercise.

Scientists Gave Human Brain Cells to a Rat. Why?

Scientists transplanted human cerebral organoids (“minibrains”) into rats, to better study brain disorders. The neurons grown in vivo looked more like mature human brain cells than those grown in vitro, and they made better models of Timothy syndrome. The human minibrains formed deep connections with the rat brains, received sensory information, and drove the rat’s behavior.

Slow-Tempo Music and Delirium/Coma-Free Days Among Older Adults Undergoing Mechanical Ventilation: A Randomized Clinical Trial

A slow-tempo music intervention did not reduce delirium duration, severity, pain, or anxiety in mechanically ventilated older adults in the ICU.

Question Among critically ill, mechanically ventilated older adults in the intensive care unit, does a music-listening intervention reduce delirium, pain, or anxiety?

Findings In this randomized clinical trial of 158 mechanically ventilated older adults, a twice-daily music intervention delivered via noise-canceling headphones and tablets for up to 7 days did not demonstrate a statistically significant decrease in delirium duration, delirium severity, pain, or anxiety.

Meaning A music-listening intervention did not improve delirium, pain, or anxiety among critically ill older adults.

We Finally Understand What Happened Before the Big Bang

For decades, we were taught the universe is 13.8 billion years old. Textbooks repeated it. Documentaries swore by it. Every model of cosmic history depended on it.
But now the numbers are breaking.

The James Webb Space Telescope is detecting galaxies that shouldn’t exist, stars older than our timeline allows, and cosmic structures so mature they overturn everything we thought we understood.
Reality is being rewritten in real time.

New evidence points to a universe that could be 26.7 billion years old – nearly double the age we believed. And if that’s true, then the biggest question becomes unavoidable.
What came before the Big Bang?

The answer is colder, emptier, and far stranger than anything in standard cosmology.
Get ready. We’re going back to the moment before everything.

Warner–Suno deal lets users legally use artist voices in AI songs

New Warner–Suno deal lets creators legally use artist voices and likeness in AI tracks.

It was only last year when Hollywood unions battled AI use in creative industries. Today, Warner Music Group is handing artificial intelligence a front-row seat in the music business.

The company has signed a licensing deal with Suno, the fast-growing AI music platform, marking one of the biggest shifts yet in how the industry approaches AI-generated music.

Under the agreement, Warner Music Group will allow users to generate songs using the voices, likenesses, names, images, and compositions of artists who voluntarily opt in.
