about

This is who runs the site:

My name is Yoyo! My main activities are research engineering and writing (blog). Domains that make me happy: cognitive science, human-computer interaction, engineering, physics, neurotech. I’m early career and trying to gain coding skills (github)

Time to discuss the ultimate kin list! Since I was a teen, I’ve been heavily inspired by Nicky Case, Joscha Bach and Feynman. I enjoy the Erdősian social philosophy! My favourite way of science is sitting in the unknown! I’m a fan of moderate chaos, risks and high reward. What does it look like? It looks like frustrated grad students coding paper-sharing networks and infogami! Let’s not forget how many GOATs of science were disabled and self-taught. Since this is not an academic website, I’m not obligated to list any affiliation at all, yippee.

Languages I could hold a conversation in:

• English

• Chinese

Linguistic & cultural Interests:

• Russian (anyone want to visit pevek, chukotka autonomous okrug?)

• Modern and paleo-hebrew (when can we have seder hadarot in english)

• Persian (sadness is cool here. see sar oomad zemestoon—not suffering from heartbreak? too bad!! it makes you a phoenix)

• Armenian (see my launch video)

• Inuit

Vibes IRL: “Warm and tweety vibes” “contagious enthusiasm” "strange speech patterns that remind them of the grad student species” "mysterious entity in a midnight forest"

Communities!!!

Praying for a kindred soul on the internet to free me from school and figure out the visa situation. I’m a uni student good at unstructured learning. If you want to know more about me on a personal level, you can find my thoughts this page.

Let’s colab or hang out! You can contact me on telegram and discord at @indiraschka.
