You don't understand how much I look forward to making my hot water bottle every evening. While I'm removing my makeup and getting ready for bed, I put it under

Built a cognitive framework for AI agents - today it audited itself for release and caught its own bugs

I've been working on a problem: AI agents confidently claim to understand things they don't, make the same mistakes across sessions, and have no awareness of their own knowledge gaps.
Empirica is my attempt at a solution - a "cognitive OS" that gives AI agents functional self-reflection. Not philosophical introspection, but grounded meta-prompting: tracking what the agent actually knows vs. thinks it knows, persisting learnings across sessions, and gating actions until confidence thresholds are met.
[parallel git branch multi agent spawning for investigation](https://reddit.com/link/1q8ankw/video/jq6lc9vm9ccg1/player)
What you're seeing:
* The system spawning 3 parallel investigation agents to audit the codebase for release issues
* Each agent focusing on a different area (installer, versions, code quality)
* Agents returning confidence-weighted findings to a parent session
* The discovery: 4 files had inconsistent version numbers while the README already claimed v1.3.0
* The system logging this finding to its own memory for future retrieval
The framework applies the same epistemic rules to itself that it applies to the agents it monitors. When it assessed its own release readiness

Honestly I think my neighbors actually like being heard through these thin walls

It’s honestly weird. I can hear my neighbors being so loud during their private moments that there’s no way they don’t realize the whole building hears it. Every time it happens I just sit there thinking about it. Do they genuinely not care. Or is being heard actually part of it for them.
I’m not even angry. Just confused. Whenever I remember how thin the walls are I automatically lower my voice or turn the TV down. It’s a reflex. But with them it feels like that switch just doesn’t exist. Maybe some people really move through life without thinking about anyone around them. I honestly don’t know. It definitely makes living here… awkward.

I think someone is putting a spell on my mom. What should I do?

My mom got out of a toxic relationship a while ago, but since then, many strange and unfortunate coincidences have occurred. Things disappear from the house even though we all remember seeing them in certain places. She's developed bruises and red spots all over her body. She's lost a lot of weight very quickly. You might think that's not so strange, but it gets worse. Every person who has come to help her move on has had terrible things happen to them. One of them got leukemia and had to leave my mom, saying he didn't want to cause her any more harm. My mom's cousin sent her a message at Christmas when she was alone because I was with my dad, and he specifically asked her to read the messages he sent her, but he couldn't send them because he literally died very soon after; he was hit by a train. I'm scared. I don't want anything bad to happen to my mom, me, or my family. Please help me figure out what to do.
