How models change what we notice, question, and understand Tiny furniture [Content warning: This article contains images of miniature death scenes.] I recently started building a miniature house in my free time. I am clumsy and have messed up a lot of things, but I still find the process therapeutic. Part of it is how cute everything looks at that scale. The world feels so orderly and manageable. However, not every dollhouse is built to make you feel safe or comforted. One example is Frances Glessner Lee’s collection of miniature death scenes. Known as the Nutshell Studies of Unexplained Death , these models, built at a scale in which one inch represents one foot, were based on composites of real cases and created to train investigators to examine death scenes. A dollhouse full of death Nutshell Studies of Unexplained Death ( source ) Lee reproduced domestic spaces in obsessive detail. Her rooms held worn furniture, working doors, scattered belongings, tiny bullet holes, and bodies positioned according to the circumstances of each death. Investigators were given only limited information and asked to examine the scenes carefully. The models were not murder mysteries waiting to be solved. Lee described them as exercises in observing and evaluating indirect evidence . Their purpose was to teach investigators how to work through a scene methodically instead of settling too quickly on one explanation. The training encouraged investigators not to let an initial explanation determine how they interpreted every subsequent detail. The Nutshells taught them to continue observing and to consider evidence that might challenge their first impression before deciding what happened. https://medium.com/media/1e4082e23b20439b81719ae67c382793/href I remember wondering whether the dollhouses were just a strange gimmick. Photographs, written reports, and diagrams were already available for documenting a scene. Why go to the trouble of constructing an entire room in miniature? Only later

The trusted face is the mask, but the machine underneath doesn’t know when it’s wrong, and that’s exactly what you won’t check. The more we trust a name, the less we question the machine wearing it, and the more that name has to lose when the machine is confidently wrong. A few weeks ago my team spent an hour arguing about whether to lie to people. We were designing the onboarding for an AI product, the first time user experience that tries to prove the product is worth their time. The fairly insignificant thing we were fighting about was whether to add a little animation that made it look like the software was thinking hard, adding a few seconds to the flow when really it could have been instantaneous. A spinning “analyzing your answers…” moment where we could inject some language and brand feel into otherwise straightforward flow. A fake insight or two we’d basically hard-code to make it feel personal and “magical,” a wildly overused word. We knew what it really was, though. It was smoke and mirrors, but it really divided us, because we knew it would work. It would have been a great first impression. What stopped us was the idea of a bait and switch where we get someone genuinely excited about something that wasn’t actually in the product (yet). We talked ourselves out of it, not because we’re saints, but because the same worry kept coming up from every one of us. Someone finishes that slick little intro, thinks “huh, that was cool,” and then realizes it didn’t do a single useful thing for them. You’d have spent your most valuable moment, the one where a person decides whether to trust you, teaching them the magic was fake. Which, obviously, it was because magic isn’t real. What stuck with me afterward was that this was a low-stakes debate. We were literally deciding whether to fake a loading animation. What happens when the smoke and mirrors comes with larger stakes? When the confident, capable-sounding thing on the other side of the screen is wearing the name of

Make your website feel more luxurious using a simple CSS trick. A cover image for “The CSS hack that extends your website on iOS Safari” Introduction People who read a lot of books know that paperbacks get read faster, they get shoved into backpacks, they get dirty and folded around, but they sure enough get read. In contrast hard cover books are more luxurious, they are for a reader who wants to take his time, to enjoy the reading process. Hard covers get read at night in bed, or by the fireplace. When a hard cover book is finished, when it’s all read and done, it still looks like new, and that’s why they are more sought after by collectors and enthusiasts alike. Your website can feel more luxurious too, like a hard cover book, by using a simple trick, that only iOS users will see, you can change the color of the bit that extends to the top and bottom, you can decide, with simple CSS tricks — to delight your mobile users. The Nature of Code / Daniel Shiffman (2012). Notice the pink border all around, that’s the magic of hard covers. And like a good hard cover, your users will feel it, you don’t want your users to come to your website only for the content — like a cheap paperback. Your website should be an experience, not just data. Simple Safari website extensions A simple iOS Safari website extension What we are talking about here is how iOS Safari will extend your website at the top — behind the status bar, and at the bottom — behind the tab bar. In the image above you can see what you get if you do nothing, by default iOS will extend your content to the top and bottom. Where your website ends, like above the header and below the footer, Safari will just extend your website’s body background-color , which is white by default. If your website has no explicit body background-color , it can also be inherited from the html tag itself, though I think it’s simpler to just add a body background-color. Here’s the CodePen Demo (See the code): Simple iOS Safari And the Pre

Large language models (LLMs) have shown strong potential for financial analysis and trading, but direct trading remains challenging because the predictive capabilities required can vary across assets, decision fields, and market conditions. Existing LLM-based trading systems either coordinate human-defined external experts or adopt conventional internal Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) routers that do not directly evaluate how individual experts contribute to trading decisions. Moreover, these routers receive no direct signal indicating when an inactive expert has become more suitable as market conditions change. We find that native router scores poorly reflect how much individual experts improve trading decisions, frequently leaving better alternatives unselected. We further reveal that token-specific expert usefulness exhibits a compact low-dimensional structure. Based on these findings, we propose TradingMoE, a trading-oriented sparse MoE that augments a frozen dense LLM with lightweight residual experts. We introduce a Query-Key router that represents the expertise required by each token under the current market context as a low-dimensional query and matches it with learnable expert keys. We further propose a sparse expert selection update mechanism that samples a few inactive experts during training and estimates whether they should replace the weakest expert in the current Top-k route. This mechanism enables the router to update expert selection as market conditions change while preserving sparse computation. Experiments against 22 baselines on stock and cryptocurrency markets show that TradingMoE improves cumulative return over the best-performing baselines by 30.89% and 30.7%, respectively. Rolling paper-trading experiments further demonstrate that its advantage persists under forward-only deployment.

Cryptocurrency exchange-traded products (ETPs) listed on European exchanges provide a regulated environment for studying intraday market anomalies. We study four Bitcoin and Ethereum ETPs traded on Xetra and Nasdaq Stockholm over the period January 2024 - December 2025 using one-minute bars. As a benchmark, we adopt an extreme value theory approach in which anomalous bars are defined as returns falling below a threshold estimated by fitting a generalised Pareto distribution to left-tail exceedances. We then propose three new binary anomaly indicators. The first, a cross-venue divergence anomaly, identifies venue-specific price divergence between the two exchanges. The second is a no-recovery anomaly that identifies extreme price drops followed by little or no recovery over the next ten active bars. The third is a momentum-reversal anomaly that identifies extreme price drops following positive short-term momentum. Although each anomaly type represents fewer than 1% of one-minute bars, statistical analysis using Mann-Whitney U tests shows that anomaly observations exhibit significantly higher effective spreads, higher values of liquidity-related ratios, and more pronounced order-flow imbalances than non-anomalous bars. Furthermore, employing an out-of-sample prediction methodology with four classifiers - random forest, logistic regression, extreme gradient boosting, and light gradient boosting machine - shows that all four anomaly types are predictable one bar ahead, with AUC-ROC values of up to 0.82. Permutation importance indicates that short-term volatility and drawdown measures are generally more useful for prediction than microstructure variables.
