More of this kind of thing please: would love to see intros to philosophy of science *for* cognitive scientists and linguists etc, we've got more than enough of the *of* for the time being ffs.

And if we're really dreaming big, a book for AI/ML people, that they actually read

An essential episode to set the record straight on Kara Swisher with Edward Ongweso Jr.

When she presents herself as someone who asks the hard questions, she not only rewrites her story, but lets Silicon Valley pretend it was being properly held to account this whole time.

Depressing to see in the The Baltimore Sun voter guide that Vote Margo Settles said the *most pressing issue* for D3 is pausing bike lanes & removal of a bus lane.

Not investment in Morgan, housing, or redevelopment of North Harford Park.

Undoing positive investment that improved safety.

You can *write MyST Markdown documents in Latex* and use MyST to render your tex as an enriched, interactive website. It builds in seconds rather than hours, and is much more user friendly 😅

A reminder of why a Zero Emissions Mandate for transit is a bad idea. On the Gold Line we will be paying an extra million per bus for 1/4 of the service

Hybrid Electric buses work really well! So do trolleybuses!

Getting people out of their cars will do more to reduce emissions

Moritz Kriegleder Mel Andrews has an really excellent preprint on exactly this topic which they let me have a look at a while back, not sure what the current status is tho. In the meantime here's a talk

I know none of us are prepared for the passage of time but folks, we're fast approaching the 10th anniversary of this:

Get in touch if you'd like to apply to do a project with the lab. We study a range of biophysical processes in sound and vibration based communication.

And we've had some success with competitive PDF applications recently.

humiliating. looks like shit. yet another massive W for earth, the best planet in the universe

if you have ever asked what it's like working at BA post-2020, or if you followed the outrage real time, you really need to be watching what's going on with the @CondeUnion now

Insects are helping us understand how animals use medicine. It was fun to write this review with great colleagues. Dalial Freitak Dr. Sheena Cotter Hauke Koch HMG Lattorff and others.

I have found my new favorite word:

74% of Baltimore City voters list the lack of affordable housing as a “major issue”. 👀

I won’t say, I told you so.

But just let me leave this here psyarxiv.com/4cbuv

It turns out the data bottleneck problem is more dire than initially thought:

AI model performance - which can be largely attributed to the presence of test concepts within their vast pretraining datasets - increases linearly with exponentially more data.
