The Brothers Quay did a fantastic (and predictably nightmarish) stop-motion exposition of anamorphosis: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cEfwbnMf3jM

I got to the end and was mildly surprised that Frank was a real person and not a hallucination. Maybe I've been reading too many psychological thrillers.
Chimpanzees have much better short term memories than humans do. If you test them with digits 1-9 sequentially flashed on a screen, they're able to reproduce the digits with lower loss than undergraduate human students.
> While the between-species performance difference they report is apparent in their data, so too is a large difference in practice on their task: Ayumu had many sessions of practice on their task before terminal performances were measured; their human subjects had none. The present report shows that when two humans are given practice in the Inoue and Matsuzawa (2007) memory task, their accuracy levels match those of Ayumu.
Hmm.

Seems like it's time to remove links to outdated versions. Replace them with your resume?
I believe crates doesn't really allow that, partially so that people can't easily sabotage the supply chain like that :)

Thank you for sharing this!
I'm disappointed by some of the negative comments. I'm pretty excited about this and plan to try and get this running locally this week. I end discussing a lot of the books I read with ChatGPT, e.g. "hey, this made me think of $idea" or "uh... this is familiar, what am I thinking of?" and to be able to get back a "yeah, check out Ulam's paper on $topic or $book by $author" is really really valuable to me.
I don't read a lot of ePubs (they tend to be mostly PDFs or dead trees) so I might need to adjust a bit, but I'd definitely gonna give something a spin with this.

This is in fact one of my two requirements when interviewing: I want to hear the candidate say "I don't know" to a question. The other is that I want to hear them talk passionately about some project they once did. Bullshitting is an immediate fail.
ho boy, I wish I were interviewed by more people like you. I never know what the hell is going on and it's almost impossible to get me to shut up about my stupid projects.

My use of vagus stimulation is for managing anxiety and promoting digestion / gut motility. I have neck issues that probably impinge on this nerve, contributing to these symptoms. Evidence suggests that the effect isn't purely psychosomatic; when laying on my back with TENS, I observe an increased frequency of GI tract "gurgles" relative to off. The observable product of my GI tract has also normalized somewhat.
It looks like it operates somewhat differently to this, but I'd be, well, delighted to be able to reverse my RA, even if a few of my joints are already FUBAR.
