Even more exquisite than before!

Not sure if you're still counting LLMs for these kinds of jobs, but from what I've seen, Gemini 3.0 Pro seems to handle these tricky tasks with more consistency than ChatGPT 5.2. Haven't given it a shot for the bibliography myself, though.

Neuroscience has a species problem

The problem is not simply that cross-species translation is difficult; it is that the field has largely accepted this difficulty rather than treating it as a central scientific challenge

I am always surprised and grateful when reflecting on how much I have learned from friends.

That could be the best presentation format!

Awesome, can't wait

If I'm right, quite a bit of decision theory has to be rethought. Anything that starts by understanding choices in restaurants or hardware stores in terms of binary attitudes can't be the full story. Perhaps we need to start with constraints that directly apply to choices from menus. (FIN)

interesting point!

good title

"Even more strikingly, her retelling not only describes, with astonishing precision, the interplay of instruments, voices and rhythms, but also captures the symphony’s meaning as a fully realised aesthetic experience."

I occasionally make purchase requests, and I find they are quite responsive.

That's great! I look forward to it!

Beethoven: Chamber Works (Live at Beethovenhaus, Bonn, 1958)

At the age of 93, Pau Casals still practiced the cello four to five hours a day. When asked “Why?” he once replied: “I feel like I’m making progress.”

It's truly a delicate oil painting.

Someone asked on MathOverflow for a proof of Gödel's incompleteness theorem using König's lemma, and I posted an answer providing such an argument.

Brahms: Piano Quintet in F Minor, Op. 34
Recording: 1966
Rubinstein and the Guarneri Quartet seem intent on softening Brahms’s sharp edges. The gloom and conflict don’t vanish, but under the piano’s clarity, settle into a kind of pervasive dampness.

thanks!

Hi! A quick question about the "6–18 CEST" time: Does that mean the event goes all day from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m., or is there a specific time for the main session? Thanks!

No worries. Is there any chance the recording will still be available on YouTube? I was curious if the recordings on YouTube were generated by Zoom's feature.

Raoul Koczalski Plays Chopin
Release: 2012
Is this what they call the "Real Chopin"? Did Chopin really leave behind a pattern of “genuine interpretation” in a roundabout way? Who knows! But one thing's for sure: Koczalski's playing is in a league of its own.

Katharina Wolpe Plays Schubert's Impromptus
Recording: 1996 | Release: 2011
Schubert’s Impromptus take on a quiet grandeur in Wolpe’s hands, her "limpid tone, natural rhythm, and clear phrasing" offering a nuanced interpretation. "Epic impromptus," described by a friend.
