But I definitely agree that current "incremental unit" is 1) way too large, 2) not integrated with the context enough, 3) hard to update, and 4) too self-contained. Updates should probably still feel like a tree (branch=project, or a lab?), but they need to be much more modular!

Yes, but not quite? If you ever tried to keep a knowledge base (I guess most of us did?), it's hard to do it in a "continuously updated review" mode! Too much ongoing rework. As a neuro person, I think of science as an axon growth cone: lots of probing, but limited consolidation.

The most iconic video of all times (the very first viral video ever produced!): now stabilized, super-resolutioned, and re-colorized. I feel like it's a milestone of sorts. The closest we ever got to a time machine. Unbelievable!

ASLSP by John Cage: Root bridges in India: I'm guessing, many vineyards and olive plantations, technically? Pollarding in England, as a way to maintain forests? I'm more on the druidy side, I'm afraid :)

Fun thread on r/datascience on most common issues newly minted data scientists have. Top arrogant bad with conflict either too parsimonious, or too cutting edge for no reason discount business intuition despise Excel yet cannot OOP cannot pitch results

Thank you so much! I love the beginning (all that I had time to read so far); really looking forward to reading it!! Thanks!

Cool, thank you so much! I'll try to try it tomorrow in my Python class :) It's the first time I teach Python, so I'm still figuring it out, and it sounds like an easy but fruitful way to do it!

And actually (I re-read my tweet above) Skinner would have hated it, as I deliberately used the word "like" in it, referring to a duck. Which is about a mental state that is ultimately not behaviorist, and, arguably, antropomorphic. Coz I believe words like that may be useful:)

I'm sure I failed to describe my entire "take" in a single tweet, but yep, of course mental states exist! Skinner was obv WAAY on the wrong side as far as denying goal-oriented behaviors to animals! But some behaviors are NOT goal-oriented. And there's everything in-between :)

(Because, in this example, if open mouths of fish just happen to resemble open mouths of ducklings, or something as silly as that, intentional interpretation would have been a bad hint. Or maybe the duck just likes the sight / sound? :) Who knows!

Intentionality may be automatic, fake, etc. Ultimately, I suspect, "intentionality" is philosophically undefinable (or, worse, contradictory). So it's more of a metaphor (poetry, hint) than a sci statement. But it may be a useful hint, when releasing stimuli are concerned :)

That's sounds super-cool! But I didn't quite get it: what do you mean by "same exercise"? Like literally, same thing once again? Or a very similar thing, but still different? I really want to understand it, as it sounds like an awesome thing to try!

Exactly. It feels that ppl subconsciously believe that a "cohesive society with iron discipline" is an alternative to democratic chaos. Like, they kill minorities, but they also invest in science and will genetically engineer first superhumans. And then somehow it never works.

Cool paper, thanks! I'll read it! "Smartness" is a tricky thing; it's so modular! Like, are bees smart? Computationally: extremely smart; count to ~5, recognize faces, have language, use tools etc. Can you fool them Gary Marcus -style? Of course, easy-peasy, they're so robotic.

Abstract thinking, on the other end, is the ultimate self-supervised learning with internal representation and internal modeling; maybe even elements of symbolic reasoning etc. Nothing can be further apart :)

(Well, maybe self-generated self-organization, like retinal waves, occupies a spot between hard-wiring and imprinting. But still it's pretty close. If you imprint to a snail, you're doomed; same as if you get miswired motor regions, you know?)

Are you joking? (I may be bad in reading sarcasm, sorry! :) Imprinting and abstract thought are polar opposites. Imprinting is an extreme curricular learning with overfitting; the closest thing to hard-wiring that is not actually it. One-trial learning on a fine-tuned data pnt.

Yep, that's cool, as ducks aren't particularly smart, to put it mildly! It's not like we're looking at a canid, corvid, or something like that. It's a freakin duck; of a kind that would incubate a Rubik's cube if you let them to! Do they remind her of ducklings or something?

It seems that the high fantasy trope (baddies carry the seed of their destruction) wins over the sci-fi trope (evil order of ultimate discipline). As with Soviet Russia before, everything about Wuhan story is so incompetent! While pluralistic democracy (bioRxiv) works wonders.
