Exploring the intersection of AI, biology, neuroscience, and embodied cognition 2026-08-12T14:29:47Z https://jdranpariya.github.io/feed.xml JD Ranpariya jaydeepranpariya037@gmail.com Eleventy © 2025–2026 JD Ranpariya https://jdranpariya.github.io/odysseys/reckoning-the-dead/forgotten-legends/ 2026-07-11T00:00:00Z 2026-07-11T00:00:00Z

A gallery of overlooked minds in computation, information theory, physics, and cognition, thinkers whose ideas outran their fame.

My AGI research roadmap: sixteen subfields to work through, a month-by-month reading list built like a self-taught graduate seminar, and the people worth following.

Working beliefs on training frequency, sets, and recovery, plus a running list of strength and fitness resources to dig into.

Personal beliefs and habits for protecting sleep: wind-down routines, light exposure, naps, plus notes on the circadian biology behind them.

A full-stack physical AI project (from custom brushless actuators and PCB design to sim2real reinforcement learning) inspired by nature's most indestructible micro-animal.

A wrong simulation is most dangerous when it still produces working behavior. Lessons from a year of sim2real on a real balancing system.

Just as researchers had to look beyond the individual to explain health in Roseto, Gladwell looks beyond the individual to explain success.

I've only read first chapter, just curious about emotions

If you're curious about many things, you will enjoy this book immensely!

Idea is to learn more about poincare and see if I find anything interesting
