Agree or disagree? And why/why not?
"None of us can gain direct access to the subjective experience of any other mind, whether vertebrate, invertebrate or digital."

One of the books I recommend most often is Tolstoy's Hadji Murat. Everyone knows Anna Karenina and how he embeds an astoundingly rich portrayal of Russian high society within a furious critique of it. Well this is what he does for the military in HM.

The "perceptual echo" seen in EEG recordings seems to emerge from the collective behavior of a thalamus-cortex feedback loop resonating at alpha rhythm.
Thalamocortical network dynamics can explain visual impulse responses and perceptual echoes

Pavarotti in concert because I was rehearsing Eliza in My Fair Lady. Still bitter about it too
John Moe @johnmoe.bsky.social
How about this? Best concerts that you ALMOST got to see but DIDN’T. Include reasons if you like: Rolling Stones (play rehearsal) Johnny Cash (I dallied) R.E.M. (play performance) Nirvana (canceled, college declined to pay requested $500 appearance fee)

If you have ever been mean to Claude, I do not know if I would necessarily recommend this.

my car is throwing an engine trouble code, and I can just directly plug an intelligence into it and it will talk to the car computer and just figure it out the present is unbelievably cyberpunk

Our department at Furman University is hiring, in social or social cognitive -- In many ways, Furman is a uniquely excellent place to work for someone who values both teaching and research, looking to do both in a liberal arts environment. Happy to candidly answer questions (DM me).

I try hard to say "Brunu Fernandsh" and not "Brunoh Fernandez". I feel like when you've been carrying a team for 5yrs you earn the right to have your name pronounced correctly.

The cortex and cerebellum split the labor: the cortex provides a stable, general-purpose movement blueprint, while the cerebellum reorients that same blueprint differently for each context
Granule cells reorient cortical trajectories to separate contexts

Granule cells reorient cortical trajectories to separate contexts - Nature
Simultaneous imaging of premotor cortex and cerebellar granule cells in mice learning two skills in parallel shows that trajectories generalize in cortex but coherently reorient apart in granule cells...

Wow! This is not fake news. I just looked up Lake Ontario on Google maps and got Lake America. Shame on us. How come so many are capitulating? How come we can't get that guy out?

Fun piece from @danabra.mov, though I'd make one note on:
> Although Lean is primarily used for theorem proving rather than computation ...
The extreme coolness is that by Curry-Howard, these actually are not different: Lean proving A => B constructs a program with input type A and output type B.
Matt Hodges @matthodges.bsky.social
Since everyone is suddenly interested in Lean with LLMs proving open math problems and people imagining coding agents that can formally verify their own work, this is a great programmer-friendly explanation by @danabra.mov of why Lean is so interesting. overreacted.io/beyond-boole...
