Yeah, Hansi didn’t help much this time.

This is probably their most intense half yet (obviously after 10th min). Amazing how we’ve come a long way from “why isn’t Suarez pressing” conversation.

Dzięki za zaproszenie! Prawdziwa praca u podstaw.💪🏻

Exactly, it’s probably more about weakening the institutions so they cannot tell Musk what to do. Same shit with supporting AfD in Germany.
I’m just waiting to see when Musk is going openly support ppl like Bosak in Poland.

Oh, I’m interested! Not actively doing MEG atm but did in the past and would love to do in the future.

Haha, love the confabulations of these AI models. WTF is Ozob wearing, a button?

Do you have any reliable data showing there’s no correlation? Wouldn’t that require having a control group without exposure to social media?

Stopped using it about 6 years ago. One of the best decisions of my life.

Wonderful, thank you!

Yeah… on the other hand I was always struck by how generous, kind and caring Americans were. Much more so than folks here in PL.
How did that come about?

Of course, what else did you expect? :)

Sure, I mean this season though. Both Rapha and Lewandowski were mentioned by various outlets. But as Julio said, Pedri is just the best player on the pitch.

I think I liked Gavi more instead of Olmo yesterday though.

Yeah, I cannot fathom why he’s not in the Ballon d’Or conversations.

Either way, I’m quite bummed out by the eLife drama because we were just about ready to submit a manuscript there. Would still love to try, however it is effectively going to hurt my career if I do.

In my institution, you get a professorship by publishing X papers in Yth JCR quartile within a given period. Nobody cares what’s inside.

That’s exactly right. Predatory journals are just an effect of idiotic evaluation schemes. Publishers like MDPI effectively charge money for trolling Clarivate.

That’s great. In my case (and everybody else’s in Poland), publishing in a journal without an IF is equivalent to not publishing at all. This includes hiring, promotion, evaluation, professorships, everything.

Great video! I’d love to see your analysis of the defensive side of things now, the high line and all of that. There’s a lot of noise and confusion in the Barça space around that.

Tried to be a professional musician for about three years and ultimately I’m glad that I did not continue. My musician friends mostly struggle, especially after COVID.

That’s exactly my sentiment as well. The music industry effectively collapsed in early 2000’s. It would be great if people realized that Spotify is a form of corporate-sanctioned piracy.

Don’t you worry that this would lead to a proliferation of poor quality papers? There are many places in the world where scientists are incentivized not to conduct research but rather to produce papers.

Second as in current or the one marked in the plot?

I mean even a super simple biological system (ie the cell) is so much more complex than any conceivable mechanical system.
comment in response to
post
Was thinking about the same thing the other day. Isn’t that because the overall complexity of physical systems under study is lower than biological systems?

Of course. I’m just saying that decision making may be a convenient work-around for some people who don’t want to go down the subjective experience rabbit hole.
comment in response to
post
For example, it’s hard to study perception directly because you need to struggle with all kinds of issues that philosophers fight over (qualia, subjective experience, semantics).
So you ignore the problem by reframing the question. And end up with perceptual decision-making.
comment in response to
post
Was intrigued by that myself. Isn’t it because, more often than not, when studying behaviors associated with functions you mention you end up with a decision task? Like 2AFC?
comment in response to
post
Well, then you can ask if the behavior is adaptive in a given environment… and you end up with evolutionary biology. Which perhaps is going to happen some day with AI, once there are AI agents acting in real environments.

I agree wholeheartedly. And personally, I think that there are many more interesting questions than “is it conscious”. Like “what exactly does it do” and “how is it doing it”.
comment in response to
post
That may be right. However, if we define thinking like that then suddenly “thinking” becomes kinda uninteresting.
That’s why defining intelligence in terms of any linguistic output is flawed.

Great job, please keep at it! Your insights are so much pleasurable to read without Russian trolling all over the place.

If the art you’ve been posting is inspiring the esthetic of Orion, I can preorder right now:)
Also looking forward to more neuroscience-inspired dark future vibes, that’s one area that 2077 did great.

What’s the solution? More midfielders? 10 linking up more? Full-backs coming inside?

Not sure why people who are not having fun keep going in academia. It’s not like it pays good money…
