Computer Bild Spiele: Reconstructed Game List

Thu, 26 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000

I reconstructed a public, best-effort game list for the Computer Bild Spiele cover discs from the cbs-2000-09 Internet Archive set, and the current release is now much stricter about what counts as a game.

What This Dataset Is

This project tries to answer a simple question: what games actually appeared on Computer Bild Spiele cover discs?

That sounds easier than it is. The raw material is messy. Early issues can sometimes be helped by structured web sources, but later issues depend heavily on disc-local metadata, OCR, manifest paths, and executable names. That means the extraction layer naturally picks up real games alongside a lot of disc junk: installers, codecs, utilities, editors, walkthrough media, menu labels, and OCR damage.

So the public dataset is not a raw dump. It is a reconstruction layer on top of the raw extraction. The goal is not “keep every string.” The goal is “publish the strongest public game list without pretending uncertain rows are certain.”

How The Mind Works, v2

Turns out, Joscha Bach already has a great summary on how the mind works:

Joscha Bach, Hikari Sorensen — The Machine Consciousness Hypothesis

“What is consciousness, and how does it relate to reality?-is arguably among the most interesting open questions in science and philosophy.”

Which is why I’ve updated How The Mind Works as a simple summary, a simple guide answer a few evergreen questions; still source-grounded in Joscha Bach’s work.

Takopi Is Now Encrypted: First E2EE Chat for Codex + Claude, Out of the Box

Sun, 22 Feb 2026 00:10:00 +0000

You can now use Takopi encrypted via Matrix. Out of the box Codex + Claude + more, in an end-to-end encrypted chat.

Why: Takopi is explicitly multi-engine and supports both Codex and Claude Code, and takopi-matrix is the Matrix transport plugin with E2EE and multi-room support. In practice, that pairing gives me one encrypted chat surface that can switch engines on demand.

Recent upstream PRs by p0s focused on E2EE setup and reliability (SAS verify-device helper, Megolm key sharing), plus parity features like built-in commands, session continuity, and a more reliable /reload path.

Alternatives that do something similar, but not quite the same: Jackpoint is a Matrix bridge for Claude Code. gorp-rs is a Matrix bridge with E2E encryption and ACP adapters for codex-acp and claude-code-acp.

Do LLMs have qualia?

Sat, 21 Feb 2026 00:05:00 +0000

A model saying “I feel anxious” is not the same as a system that can feel anxiety. Qualia require control-relevant internal organization: persistent goals, feedback loops, valence, and self-modeling over time. If there’s nobody there, then nobody is looking at itself saying “I am anxious.”

How The Mind Works

Wed, 18 Feb 2026 07:00:00 +0000

Why do we experience? What is consciousness? In the-mind I answer these questions from the perspective of Joscha Bach, using all his public talks and content as input—synthesized through GPT.

The code turns talks, interviews, and essays into a source-grounded model with explicit citations + timecodes, aiming for “reproducibility at the level of meaning”: given the cited sources and the project spec, independent writers (human or model) should converge on the same core claims and definitions.
