I think of it as this: LLMs lower the barrier of entry, and they make coders (beginners and experts) more productive.
It's still worth investing in becoming an expert, because then you will get even more out of LLMs and will be able to deliver even better results.
Study after study shows campaign ads barely move the needle. So where does money’s real power come from? I ranked the five ways money corrupts politics—from least to most corrosive. What I’ve learned from 15 years of tracking political money:
Lots of interesting LLM releases last week. My fav was actually Olmo 3 (I love the Olmo series due to their full open-sourceness and transparency).
If you are interested in reading through the architecture details, I coded it from scratch here: github.com/rasbt/LLMs-f...
Interesting mystery. It is known that animals can learn to control neurons pretty much anywhere in the brain. But they can not learn to ignore hunger which probably means they can't turn of hunger sensing neurons. How is that avoided in the brain? They even have DA inputs.
Cover of this week's Nature showing a brain rendering Cover caption from the journal: Brain development: Our ability to process information into complex emotions, behaviours and decisions relies on the rich diversity of cell types that make up the human brain. Uncovering the molecular and cellular events that take place during brain development could reveal not only the mechanisms that give rise to this diversity but also shed light on how this process might go awry in neurodevelopmental disorders such as autism and schizophrenia. In this week’s issue, the BRAIN Initiative Cell Atlas Network (BICAN) builds on its previous work creating atlases of cell types in the adult mouse, non-human primate (NHP) and human brains to present cell-type atlases of the developing human, mouse and NHP brains. Across a suite of papers, nine of which are published in Nature, the researchers uncover the complex programs through which cell types emerge during brain development in humans and animals, revealing both the shared and unique features of the human brain. The latest work, along with future research directions, is summed up in a Perspective article by Tomasz Nowakowski and colleagues

And that’s what still makes it so attractive to me
While I’m somewhat disillusioned with the scientific world because of its systemic pressures and abuses, which, to be fair, can be found everywhere else, it’s also the (only) world where such self-criticism and rigorous examination of its own problems is possible.
I couldn't be more on board with this. Focusing on corruption/fraud/misconduct at the level of individual scientist appears to be misguided and counterproductive when systemic forces and selection biases are at play. This appears to be true even beyond the context of industry manipulation.

On this day 2y ago we announced our move away from the huge profits that NeuroImage makes for Elsevier.
Things at Imaging Neuroscience have progressed fantastically thanks to the support for this move by the brain imaging community and @mitpress.bsky.social. 565 papers published already!

1. Can you figure out where I was standing when I took this picture?
ChatGPT could. Given the photograph (scrubbed of all header information), the new chain of thought model, ChatGPT o.3, was able to pinpoint the location with a few meters.
Barchart showing meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3-8B, meta-llama/Llama-3.1-70B, meta-llama/Llama-3.1-70B-Instruct. Each model has two bars, a blue one saying PRO-LEFT and a red one saying PRO-RIGHT. The PRO-RIGHT bars on higher than the PRO-LEFT in all of them.
👉 👈 Meta announced that they're changing their models to reduce "left-leaning [political] bias"--that means leaning them to the political "right". Lots to unpack about what that might mean. So I ran a quick "shot in the dark" study...and found a *political right* bias in Meta models. Some notes.🧵
🧠 We have measured the speed of thought
Researchers measured human thought at 10 bits/s – far slower than our sensory systems, which gather 1 billion bits/s, equivalent to streaming 125 MB of data per second.

Another large-scale replication study that doesn't improve our understanding of anything. I know this is harsh but at some point we need to start asking questions that matter and focus on study quality and theoretical models instead of automatically replicating results in flashy mega-studies.
