Readit News> Normally the journey is quite inward, so patients do not require active support during the psychedelic experience [around 6 hours]. Sometimes they do require some hand-holding, or helping them to 'let go', or breathing exercises. The important part is the integration work that comes afterwards," Barba added. [...]
> However, [Rucker] noted, it is also possible that the results reflect biased reporting between groups. This is more likely here because studies involving psilocybin tend to attract those with positive preconceptions about psilocybin and negative preconceptions about conventional antidepressants
Don't neutrons lose some energy as they transit through the material? That would make this bounded in some respect anyway.
So, I’m defaulting on RLHF is great in at least those ways until an alternative is empirically proven to be better. I also hope for larger, better, open-source collections of RLHF training data.
As PAC learning with autograd and perceptrons is just compression, or set shattering, this paper is more of an optimization method that reduces ANN expressiveness through additional compression. Being able to control loss of precision is exciting though.
It may help in some cases, especially for practical use cases, but their unaddressed mention of potential problems with noisy loss functions needs to be addressed.
Human biological neurons can do XOR in the dendrites without hitting the soma at all is another example.
If you haven't heard about dendritic compartmentalization and plasticity, here is a paper.

> In conclusion our results support the view that experience can drive clustered synaptic enhancement onto neuronal dendritic subcompartments, providing fundamental architecture to circuit development and function
Similarly, do you think that spiking networks are important, or just a specific mechanism used in the brain to transmit information, which dense (or sparse) vectors of floats do in artificial neural networks?
1. Stress. Significant stress can lead to migraines and I can feel them slowly start to build in the upper front of my brain above my left eye (or at least that's what it feels like). This can be stress from work or from kids or whatever.
2. Blips. I don't know how to describe these really. It's like my brain doesn't quite know how to process what's going on. An example: I gave my kids some ice cream for a snack one day after asking my wife if I should and her saying yes. 5 minutes later, she comes into the kitchen and says "Do we have any ice cream for the kids?". I respond with "Yes, I just gave them some, like we discussed." Her response: "We should give the kids some ice cream."
Now, that's a little bit of a weird conversation, and I think she was distracted by someone messaging her on her phone, but my brain just kind of "blipped" and didn't quite know how to handle it and it was instant blurred vision.
It keeps being hyped up again every once in a while years, but it has never, will never, panned out in practice.
