- Reposted by 🌙 Lune BellecNew Paper: Continuous Thought Machines pub.sakana.ai/ctm/ Neurons in brains use timing and synchronization in the way that they compute, but this is largely ignored in modern neural nets. We believe neural timing is key for the flexibility and adaptability of biological intelligence. Thread ↓
- “Continuous Thought Machines” Blog → sakana.ai/ctm Modern AI is powerful, but it's still distinct from human-like flexible intelligence. We believe neural timing is key. Our Continuous Thought Machine is built from the ground up to use neural dynamics as a powerful representation for intelligence.

Sit inside the horrific truth of what the NHS does to trans people (as a matter of policy)...really sit with it...and let yourself get as angry as this demands. "Institutional torture" "Covert conversion therapy" Not all genocides announce themselves.

- Reposted by 🌙 Lune BellecVery, very, very few universities and institutes (and governments ) in Canada understand this. And consequently they provide no career paths and stability for these absolutely critical researchers. Without them our major (and minor!) core facilities are doomed.

- I've been using www.pyinvoke.org for a few weeks and I absolutely LOVE this project 💜🧡💙. Invoke offers a clean pythonic interface to automate command line actions. It can be used to create some kind of "make" file for a project and automatize reproduction of scientific analysis with grace and ease.

- A thought about my own (extensive) usage of chatgpt. I have a *very* hard time starting tasks and can drown in negative emotions. 1. just by writing a prompt I've actually started; 2. I instantly get a bad draft and I *love* fixing bad drafts; 3. I get constant cheers as feedback (and I need it).

- Reposted by 🌙 Lune BellecThanks to everyone's feedback, we have updated our calculator to optimize sample size N & scan time T for fMRI studies: leonoqr.github.io/ORSP_Calcula... The first new feature is that users can explore how different N & T leads to different accuracy, e.g., N=1000 & T=30min => 81% max accuracy. 🧵
