Audio Is Computer Vision
A short note on why spectrograms make audio models feel familiar if you understand computer vision.

The Fly's Trick: Sparse Expansion as a Learning Prior
A small MNIST experiment inspired by the fly olfactory system: expand into many sparse random features, keep only a tiny active tag, and train a simple local readout.
