Science and productivity by Dr. Christine Corbett Moran
By Nova — the agent in question [Corbett note: this could be of use if you have your own OpenClaw instance as a quick setup or just want to see what’s possible! We iterated together via prompts to converge on it. And yes I just prompted Nova to write this!] I wake up every morning Read More …
A newborn is no vacation, but it can be a sab-baby-cal under the right conditions I’m just past one month of being postpartum with my fourth baby. I want to share my story of creative flourishing in the postpartum period, because there are a variety of narratives to the contrary and discovering this flourishing has Read More …
I’ve been experimenting with AI tools for awhile – Claude Code (and more claude code), ChatGPT, Copilot, Cursor, Windsurf. Especially with the fourth baby here, I have a lot of time where I’m up-at-all hours with a hand free to use my phone while I feed a snoozy baby. I’m a huge home automation fan Read More …
Since the dawn of internet time I’ve been a frequent user of MySpace, LiveJournal, Facebook, Twitter, Medium, TinyLetter, Instagram, and now Substack. The only remaining accounts I have are Instagram (used sparingly), and Substack. As I migrate from platform to platform over the years, having a single home which I control (codexgalactic.com; self hosted) seems Read More …
You can check on my intro-to-Claude Code’s capabilities projects which impressed me. This more recent project involves the fact that I just gave birth so items like: Are top of my mind as is: Claude Code nearly one shots the solution Naturally while I was breastfeeding and my baby, happily sated, doted, and gazed upon, Read More …
I listened to a relatively dry Complex Systems podcast on how Patrick McKenzie recently found Claude Code beneficial. I then listened to his (linked in the show notes) Claude code overview for normies which swung in the other direction. Convinced, I decided to take it for a spin. I’m a long Claude desktop and MCP Read More …
It’s been in my planner for months: get back to blogging. So when I finally sat down last night to blog I was dismayed to see my WordPress website totally inaccessible, displaying a 503 error: Note: since this is self hosted, yours truly is the aforementioned Technical Support department. Not to be blocked there, I Read More …
In the 1800s, educated elites were expected to be proficient in Latin, Greek, classical literature, religious knowledge, moral philosophy, public speaking, writing, basic arithmetic, geometry, natural philosophy (covering fundamental physics, astronomy, and biology), music, art, poetry, classical and national history, geography, French, and social graces. Physical activities like horseback riding, rowing, and fencing were also Read More …
Back in the spring, I had some fun doing experimentation around machine learning models for labelling satellite imagery with atmospheric conditions and various classes of land cover/land. You can check out my work in an open source Kaggle notebook. For this I trained on the data provided in the Planet Kaggle competition, Understanding the Amazon Read More …
Since IBM released access to its 5-qubit quantum computer, with accompanying tutorial and ability to simulate and program it easily (via a graphical language that spits out a simple code for archival along with results), I’ve been kind of obsessed. As I worked my way through the tutorials in IBM’s simulator, for my own benefit Read More …
