I stick with the 300 searches plan, and most months I don't hit the limit. That said, part of my strategy is if I'm searching for something that I know will show up readily (say I …

what's updoc?

Exactly. The notion of online learning is not new, but that approach cedes a lot of control to unknown forces. From a theoretical standpoint, this paper is interesting, there are d…

I just copied what it produced -- I kind of wish it hadn't added the lyrics! :D

Building meaningful professional relationships is all about trust and alignment. We both understand the industry standards and the KPIs required for success. I’m fully committed to…

I've long wished that "journals" and academic societies would transition from a publishing model to a cultivation model. If everything is available on arXiv, that's great, but it a…

To me, the wording doesn't necessarily imply causality, but it does imply a repeated-measures design. Something being "associated with an increase in symptoms" is different than so…

It doesn't stay localized; runoff from farmland is a major issue. In other words, the farm animal poops out a bunch of antiobiotics, then it rains and that poop ends up washing int…

You're talking about superintelligence. AGI is just...an AI that's roughly on par with humans on most things. There's no inherent reason why AGI will lead to ASI.

I don't really feel any sort of "phantom obligation" about RSS feeds. But I can certainly say it rings true in other areas of my life: Steam games, movies and TV shows, podcasts, b…

I went to the UK this summer and followed this guide for seeing the various sections of the wall: https://londonmymind.com/london-wall-walk/ Unfortunately it didn't mention the sec…

When I saw the title "Rupert's Property", I immediately thought of Rupert's Land which used to exist in Canada[0] (a large area around Hudson Bay, essentially). And as it turns out…

From the full paper: "Although reading with children did not change over time, rates of engagement were surprisingly low, with only 2% of participants reading with children on the …

Exactly. In particular, when I train a model, I have a defined process for training, and I can flip the switch between "learning" and "not learning" to define exactly when the mode…

I think, even though they are very different games, Disco Elysium has a lot of the same feel as Planescape: Torment. A lot of the same introspection of human nature, philosophy, mo…

This has been an ongoing situation since around 2010. The field has been undergoing a huge shift in terms of re-evaluating research practices and past findings. It genuinely has no…

As someone who went through grad studies in the field, and who has met Dr. Inzlicht in person before, I have to say I deeply appreciate his perspective. He has consistently been hu…

Talking about what is considered "alive" is an interesting exercise, and shows just how fuzzy those boundaries can be sometimes. But I really don't see how this has any practical i…

Not to mention the article says it "was also instrumental in changing how people are treated during psychological research" -- Uhh, yeah, because the lack of ethical safeguards in …

What is the measurement on the x-axis in the graph?? The text is talking about equations of 20 or 30 characters, but the graph goes up to...6. Six what?? Characters? Terms? If it's…

I'd suggest they consider renaming the bot PearlClutcherOSS; it would be a better explanation of what its contribution to the FOSS community is.

To me, there's no evidence in any of this that would indicate the creators are misinformed or being scammed. In reality, they know their primary source of revenue is coming from Yo…

As someone who just finished reading her book City of Illusions, this is a fun coincidence. The first chapter of (her interpretation of) the Tao Te Ching features in the book, and …

Where are you getting that from? The article states it was a healing ritual -- the ritual was something done to someone who was already sick. Presumably...to make them better. I ha…
