Sure, that's fine if it works for you, was just pointing out that talent doesn't guarantee satisfaction.

I had no idea? What were the main issues? I guess there'd have to be one system that works everywhere. Maybe more people should just have PayPal buttons on their sites?

Mir gefällt die "Radikalisierung" von Stefan gut, also Entwicklungen so weit wie möglich zu denken während andere damit beschäftigt sind jeden kleinen weiteren Schritt zu verdauen. Das ist wohl das berühmte systemisches Denken und gute Soziologie. Also gerne mehr zum Ende der Zivilisation.

For sure. I guess in many cases people like being good at stuff, and a virtuous circle between talent and passion facilitated by learning and growth can form. But by no means guaranteed that just because you're good at something you'll enjoy it.

Second the petition for polls. So many other cool features that could still be added, this place feels very bare-bonesy

I agree with everyone that this platform feels awesome and like a fresh start, but it's gotta become more ecstatically pleasing. The @tags are hella long and ugly IMHO #bsky #bluesky @bsky.app @support.bsky.team

Maybe this is a complete bullshit take, but isn't a lot of "serious" science communication translating cutting edge concepts from a PhD level to a level suitable for interested college graduates? So from <1 % of the population to <5-10%. Ofc massively important, but how could that ratio be improved?

Remember all these "the biggest organ in your body is your skin" fun fact posts? How about the biggest organ in your body is the endothelium? Must be fucking massive by comparison.

Well if neither the cooking blog poster nor the readers are happy with the situation the crying is valid, no? I wonder what fraction of the food bloggers actually enjoy writing the filler stuff.

One more reason why a micro transaction system across the internet would be awesome to have.

Makes sense that neither he nor any editor wanted to go through all those hundreds of pages and clean them up.

So it has, and for some reason all the research institutions are on hills, so very sketchy to descent from in the snow. Might be some plot to keep us in the lab longer...
Anyway, I much prefer some snow over the usual winter fog.

Scientists and academics: let's crowdsource!

Which tools have you found most useful to keep track of projects and tasks? What do you like about them?

This is like lab grown meat but even more useless. Maybe they can cultivate some lab grown grass that the lab grown cows can feed on and use their waste as fertilizer for lab growing trees, who knows, one day there will be an entire ecosystem happily growing under full spectrum LED lights.

It makes me slightly sad that after signing up for this platform and following a few #science, #tech, and #AI starter packs, most of my timeline is filled with #Trump content. I feel you all, these are mad times, but let's not repeat what we did in 2016 on the other platform. Stay strong over there!

The science of learning as developmental process of biological and non-biological systems parallel and perhaps even orthogonal to Darwinian evolution is looking for a home and it might find one in #NeuroAI

I think it's the immediacy of the music and the drive that is in every song. Always straight to the action.
Plus few effects, few instruments, everything quite clean, so it's not tied to any era of production style or technology.

While only a tiny step, this might give the models a little glimpse at the complexity and context-dependence of our experiences that enables us to transmit entire mental states compressed in a few lines of poetry.

I don't think this would have to be labeled data at all, just a sufficiently powerful yet simple representation of emotion. Like an additional layer on top of the next token prediction. I personally can't wait for the day that #ChatGPT finally gets humor.

Speech has such a higher bit-depth than text that I feel like the next step in #LLMs would be to add features extracted from audio to the transcripts of speech. Could be a very simple, low dimensional encoding of emotion and tone. This would also help make TTS systems less irritating to talk to #AI

Medium-term coherence of self and environment is a better candidate objective function of the fristonian/bayesian brain than next token prediction. Probably not viable for AI with current architectures since it explodes the possibility space, but beam search essentially does this.
