This is so accurate that I'm almost wheezing.

never have i seen more words communicate less information. it’s an art really

thehill.com/opinion/techno… when I was in graduate school i was on an NSF fellowship for $15,000 per year, and i needed the money. The US has gotten a great financial return from its invesment in me way back when. We need to continue to support the new graduate students who will

Given the recent loss of its $25 million NSF grant (amongst all UCLA grants), the Institute for Pure & Applied Mathematics is now fundraising. Donation link here: giving.ucla.edu/Campaign/Donat…

I guess our president wanted US schools to lose all that full tuition revenue?

OpenAI and others have been sounding the alarms that god-like super-intelligence was well on it's way for a while with this GPT-5 release, I have to ask were we hearing sounding alarms, or were we hearing the hubris of man?

this is what you have to go through if you want to get an api key for your gmail

recently found out about 2 scaling books: 1. tpu jax-ml.github.io/scaling-book/ 2. gpu huggingface.co/spaces/nanotro… I imagine that for me despite not having several accel. to train on, it's a good thing to know these dem rules

Ridiculous that OpenAI claimed 74.9% on SWE-Bench just to prove they were above Opus 4.1’s 74.5%… By running it on 477 problems instead of the full 500. Their system card only says 74% too.

Had so much fun at the Boston Black In Neuro 🧠 social. 🥳So beautiful to see these local communities forming.

If you’re an undergrad interested in shaping the future of AI, you can either fine-tune underwhelming language models at a leading AI lab OR you can join the group of one of the most talented scientists I know, pursuing some of the most promising research at the intersection of

Hundreds of life-saving and life-changing UCLA research projects are at risk due to the suspension of federal funding—putting our nation's future in jeopardy. Learn what’s at stake: ucla.edu/research  #ResearchPowersProgress

Looking forward to presenting my research on Excitatory-Inhibitory Dynamics in Adaptive Decision-Making @ the 'RNNs Making Decisions' workshop @ #CCN2025 later today (sites.google.com/view/rnnsmakin…) and a poster Wed, Aug 13, during the main conference. 🙏 Jorge Mejias Manuel Molano Mazón

At CCN for the rest of the week. please reach out if you want to meet. what I'm thinking about most rn: - modeling cognition in the real-world (thinking goal setting in college rn) - how to model agency, empowerment, and morale - how to study LLM-assisted cognition

That's a wrap for CCN2025 -- and so planning for CCN2026 in New York is starting today! Save travels to all participants and remember to fill out the feedback survey sent via email!
