Kurt Vonnegut's theory of story shapes theory is the most delightful rejected master's thesis I know. All the great tales of the world can be graphed, he says, revealing the inner life of a society. Watch, enjoy, and consider what shape the stories of 2023 might make.

@FangChengYeh Very impressive. This used to be one of the regions where fibers go to just disappear. The DEC map suggests discrete bundles with a dominant direction in the GPe more clearly than other nuclei. What was the scan duration and resolution?

@stephsmithio Short personal bios of brilliant mathematicians accompanied by striking portraits.

@Rainmaker1973 A noteworthy perk of following @Rainmaker1973 is that you can satisfy your curiosity without subjecting yourself or others to implementing tricky demonstrations like this.

@paulg @cremieuxrecueil Interesting to see that the only “domain specific knowledge” that is positively correlated with anxiety is knowledge in life sciences!

@VincentCostaPhd Fully agree. The level of endorphin release is likely to be proportional to how dirty the deck or porch is and side effects may include the urge to draw

AI writes the paper. AI reviews the paper. AI rejects the paper. AI sends to paper to another AI. New AI says revise and resubmit. AI revises and resubmits. AI accepts paper. AI tweets about the paper.

The Chomsky et al. opinion piece in the @nytimes about ChatGPT is making the rounds. Rather than trying to deconstruct their argument, I asked @bing what it thinks of it.

Now you can judge for yourself who has the moral high ground 😂.

Didn’t expect golfers or the fossil fuel industry to be one of the beneficiaries. @sleepdiplomat maybe the AASM should hire some sleeplobbyists ?

It’s that time of the year when journalists rinse & repeat their articles on DST and for some of us to express outrage. Found this old article on who benefits from the inaction on this. https://t.co/zTju2izvdf

@paulg @SteveStuWill Some birds are tetrachromatic while most humans are trichromatic. Birds can see a color range that we can’t including the near UV range. Hard to imagine the birds’ experience of these vivid colors. Could be a reason why evolutionary pressure drove birds to develop such displays

@JoyJGeng Thanks for sharing this. My 8yr old was concerned they might collide until he learnt the planets were 400 million miles apart 🤩

Oh the tension between Venus and Jupiter

The Jastrow illusion typically involves two toy railway tracks (or similar shapes) where the lower one appears to be larger. However, both are identical in shape and size
