Too many books: “something something Lebesgue measure. I said what I said.” *later* “Dear reader the Sigma symbol means summation, hope this helps avoid confusion, please see the appendix, apologies from the authors for this obscure notation” ??? What kind of learning path are your readers on

The “who is this book for?” section of textbooks: This textbook is intended for graduate and advanced undergraduate students. Really any undergraduate, when you think about it. High school? Why not. It should appeal to anyone with an interest in things. Your 6-month old might like chapter 7 —

The delusion of academic authors is very sweet

Me: I don’t know who received the view or when they received it but it sure as hell was not me and— Research grant committee: sir this is…it’s not…’received view’ means that…never mind go on

After years of research on human interaction and experimenting with novel ways to organize communities, today I unveil a brand new social media app. The key idea: your interactions are arranged in ‘bins’ along a social dimension. You post, we put it in one of these ‘bins’. The name? Histogram.

Me: oh cool our paper got accepted at ICLR and selected as a ✨spotlight✨! Brain: um remember our last encounter with a ✨spotlight✨?

I got the perfect acronym for a research group so now I can just relax as I just need a research group and I’m all set

A revised version of "Minimum Viable Experiment to Replicate" is up, where we expound why standard expectations from replications are unrealistic and experiments that may deliver on those replications are rare, if not nonexistent. #metasci #sts #philsci philsci-archive.pitt.edu/24720/7/Mini...

£30K! I wonder which two academic books he stole?

Do you prefer reading longer proofs with more explanation or shorter proofs without? 1️⃣ Longer 2️⃣ Shorter 📊 Show results

Which do you think increases the chance of paper acceptance? Longer proofs with more explanation or shorter proofs without? 1️⃣ Longer 2️⃣ Shorter 📊 Show results

Which makes you more likely to accept a paper: cute ideas and intuition, or a wall of math that gets to the right place? 1️⃣ Cute ideas and intuition 2️⃣ Math to the right place 📊 Show results

“Can we address the elephant in the room?” Certainly. Upon entering the room, bow (from the head only) or do a small curtsy. On presentation to The Elephant, the correct formal address is 'Your Majesty' and subsequently 'Ma'am,' pronounced with a short 'a,' as in 'jam'. Hope this helps

Who knows if grants will actually be a thing ever again BUT if anyone wanted to so a postdoc on grammar formalism and (neuro)symbolic models of sentence processing I would be so happy to help write such a proposal. So many low hanging fruits. Just saying 😅

Tag yourself. I’m person C

In a new preprint with @kleind.bsky.social, we ask two questions: (Q1) People differ in how they perceive the similarity of stimuli in their environment. How can we model the features underlying similarity judgments in arbitrary domains, while accounting for individual differences? osf.io/agpb5_v1 🧵

People are always complaining about shit AI but I think you’ve all been trying artifecal intelligence instead of the regular kind which only sucks a normal amount

Me, an introvert, in #Silo: I want to go further inside

Happy ICML deadline to all who celebrate 🍻

Make no mistake, …uh, I guess that’s all. Make no mistakes good luck
