A couple of months ago I was playing around with a similar technique, Mogensen-Scott encoding, in typescript. I was mainly interested in it as a way to express sum types without a bunch of if statements (instead a "value" of a type takes functions for each possible case branch and calls the appropriate one).

I ended up writing a little dependent type checker:

You can print lots of pages for the cost of one pack of White-out.

I have been known to use white-out for removing smudges from pages which are then photocopied/scanned.

But usually all my white-out usually ends up dried-out and gunky and then discarded, rather than actually used. In fact, I probably don't even have a pack left. .... Well, what do you know? I just had to slake my curiosity, so I rummaged through my 'stationery' drawers and I found not one but two bottles of Paper Mate Liquid Paper! And not only that, but both were liquid! SMH.

Aren’t they? Are you sure you understand what is the finding?

> they would be interesting enough if they had managed to collect a large enough sample

They did. The grand parent comment failed to read the right paper.

> obviously inflated conclusion that neural nets and human brains are similar in some way

But that is what they find. The human looks at two almost identical looking images of flowers. And yet when they are asked which one is more cat like they pick the one which the neural network thinks is cat-like too.(Or at least they pick it more often than if they were just selecting randomly in this seemingly nonsense task.) That is exactly “similar in some way”. Similar in which image they find more cat-like. That is the similarity.

This is one of the most well-written and well-researched historical narratives I have ever read. As one of the Wordpress comments suggested, I would be an instant subscriber to a Patreon to incentivize future writing projects (in case the original author ever reads this).

I'm also quite inspired to visit the Ivory Coast for myself and see the giant basilica in Yamoussoukro. Perhaps in the modern age, "corruption tourism" will help bolster these types of places.
I think I disagree with this entirely. With imperative you’re actively translating the problem in terms of how things are going to be interpreted by the CPU. With functional you actual express how to solve the problem and trust that the language constructs will handle stuff like loops for you.

As far as I've read, it's psychologically identical. The scary thing about financial gambling like options-, day-, or forex-trading is that they seem respectable. Laypeople don't usually know that the person is gambling, and some people even think of it as a legitimate job.
I don't understand. There's obviously a market for it. Can't folks decide that the price is too high? Are we really willing to accept that agents aren't rational? Wouldn't that have severe implications for other markets?

This is what keeps me from postgres for large amounts of data. I use postgres to store metadata or small data (ie: "users logged in currently", "customers", etc).

If you want large datasets (petabytes) you really need to look elsewhere to something with better compression support or that tiers its data off to S3.

It's possible that with bcachefs we're like a decade away from "good fs in mainline kernel with fs compression" but right now it's not a great situation.

No institution lives up to all of its principles. But Chicago is pretty well-known for its adherence to academic freedom, and I don't think it has had any major scandals recently. Stanford also stood up for academic freedom last year when the SLS incident went down. The SLS dean who led the administration's response was then elevated to interim provost, which shows the university/board supports that approach. (Of course, Stanford has had it's share of criticism over the outgoing president's issues, but that wasn't about hypocrisy, I don't think.)
It might not be clear from the article, it took me a bit of scanning back and double checking myself: the impossible nonsense picture is _overlaid_ on the left hand picture to produce the right hand picture

which is, at least to our conscious verbalizing mind, ~indistinguishable from the left hand picture. the interesting part is they _are_ distinguishable.

as you point out, you'd expect a human to just be like "uhhhh...either?", but it turns out we do see something subconciously, because people do identify the overlaid image at > chance

I'm not really sure what you are commenting on. They tested this across multiple pairs of categories: (sheep, chair), (dog, bottle), (cat, truck), and (elephant, clock). This isn't a phenomena related to cats. The whole point of the study is to measure the impact of the noise. The "baseline" or control here would be to to not add noise to either of the two images and arbitrarily label one "cat" and the other "truck" and see how the humans perform. It is obvious that humans cannot do better than 50/50 and any deviation is purely chance. In the perfect world, you would do this control to ensure your experimental setup is not flawed in some other way but if the experiment was done as double blind then this control study would be pretty silly.

Given how distasteful people find his actions, it's not surprising that people organize against them. Unless you're suggesting that his actions are viewed favorably by people (lol), but people are being brainwashed into acting in the opposite manner by some conspiracy of organizations. The more likely scenario is that most people think he acts like a douchebag, and most folks don't like associating with people who act like douchebags, and if those folks organize, more power to 'em.

> I feel like I am seeing the same cycle happen again with psychedelics, especially shrooms and LSD.

It's a repeat of the '60s all over again. Back then there was the same "miracle drug" attitude, a ton of overuse, then a bunch of negative reports, and the pendulum swung to "we need to heavily restrict these drugs".

I'm waiting for that part to repeat.
Would it? In a society that heavily biases men and within which men outnumber women by a massive number? Surely more than enough dudes would think, even if they'd never sniff the possibility themselves, that such an act would be "setting things right". We see such an action from a distance with respect to "alpha male" social media content in the US, most guys consuming it won't come close to the opportunities it dangles at the end of the rainbow but that don't stop them from endorsing the implied ideas in such content.

I have played around with the OCR on my mac, and have been very impressed. It has been consistently better than tesseract for my purposes.

However, when creating a PDF from images using Preview and exporting using ‘Embed Text’ option to OCR, I have noticed the text is worse than if you OCR the exact same images using the shortcut above or using a script. Presumably Preview is using the Vision framework’s less accurate fast path when preparing the PDF. https://developer.apple.com/documentation/vision/recognizing...

But it's not a bug. You look at it and go “hey, those flowers look like a cat”, in the same way you go “that cloud looks like a horse” or “that tree looks like a face” (though, many people have specialised human face processing machinery in their visual systems, so this last example is potentially a little different). It's not a misclassification, just an awareness.

Thanks; I'm surprised you have an academic track record and yet defend her plagiarism. To me it's cut and dried: this was direct copying, without attribution, likely done with intent, and it's not just a few words going uncited, it's paragraphs with one or two words changed.

Do you truly think she did not intend to plagiarize or thought that what she wrote was totally OK? I've informally polled my larger academic community and by and large, they think that once the full set of examples was shown, that it rose to the level of "a person analyzing this text with the 'first principles' and 'reasons for plagiarism rules' would conclude it was career-ending.

ALso I'd like to say that I really don't like you saying "understanding of plagiarism is limited to some mechanical set of rules enforced by a University research officer". I had several classes when I was a grad student and we discussed all this in detail, as well as going over these sorts of things with other students and my advisor. We really did put a lot of thought into this, it's clearly not just applying the rules of the integrity officer.
