@ch_ganzorig Any idea what the stage 2 assessment for the Emperical track is like?

@TMcNasty @Gidi_Traffic This is a very distasteful joke.

[Dr. August Bones @Ausbones]

The psychological principle that best explains why you only know your phone number in one specific sequence is called chunking.

This is a fundamental memory process where individual pieces of information are bound together into a single, familiar unit. Because your short-term memory can only hold about seven individual items at once, your brain automatically groups strings of information (like the ten digits of a phone number) into smaller, more manageable chunks. Through repetition, the number is no longer stored as ten random digits but as a cohesive set of meaningful groups, such as the area code, the prefix, and the line number. Once these chunks are formed, the sequence becomes an inherent part of the memory itself; the chunk "123" is stored differently than the digits "1," "2" and "3" individually.

This phenomenon is further explained by the concept of serial learning, which refers to learning items in a specific order where each item serves as a cue for the next. Your memory of the phone number functions like a chain reaction: recalling the first chunk automatically triggers the second, which in turn triggers the third. This is why hearing the number from the middle feels disorienting (you are missing the preceding cues needed to access the rest of the sequence). Your brain has encoded the information linearly, so presenting it out of order breaks the retrieval path and forces your brain to treat the familiar digits as unfamiliar, random data.

Finally, the process of overlearning plays a significant role. Having dialed or recited the number thousands of times, the sequence has moved from being a conscious thought to an automatic habit. This transfers the memory from your declarative memory (which handles facts and conscious recall) to your procedural memory (which handles automatic skills). When someone presents the numbers in a different order, they are asking your declarative memory to solve a puzzle, while your procedural memory only recognizes the specific motor pattern it knows. These two systems operate differently, which is why the number feels completely foreign when its structure is altered, even if all the same digits are present. #BonesTutes

Spent 3 weeks thinking I’d discovered something groundbreaking... only to find out that Zhang et el. had already published it in 2009 😭

Punya @psyonp is an impressive UofT undergrad student. He reached out to our @JinesisLab in the 1st year of his undergrad; now as a 2nd-year undergrad, his contributed to 8 papers in our lab. 3 first-author papers at #EACL2026 #IASEAI2026 and #ICLR2026 🎉[Stellar Student Sharing]

@TheDamiForeign Fred Flintstone would be proud.

@Cat5SMASHICANE You hope I like this???? I want one 😭

@AskMichaelTaiwo I'd like to add that I am currently a corper, I graduated last year and I'm currently preparing to take the GRE, which I'm still saving up for.

[The_juggernaut @oko_terry]

@AskMichaelTaiwo I am applying for a PhD in computer science at University of Illionis Urbana Campaign and a professor has asked me to reach out to him again after I submit my application. They don't offer fee waivers and the application fee is $90. Getting this fee waiver will be very helpful.

@realcryptoelio You should hire me not because I'm enthusiastic about crypto, not because I'm a good researcher and hell not because I'm a fast learner.
You should hire me because that's a lot of money, and I need the money, and that would push me to show up every day and give my very best.

There’s so much to explore within Nigeria. Countless places, countless possibilities. 🇳🇬
A strong, safe transportation system connecting all 36 states would do more than move people. It would connect us deeply as a nation. 🖤

@_toolazyto_ @eliasbareinboim @Columbia @CUSEAS @zemelgroup @nikospagonas00 You're welcome Shreyas!
I'm applying for a PhD in Computer Science focusing on ML/AI ethics, bias and fairness.
Do you mind reading my SOP, CV and personal statement?
I'm unable to text you.

[The_juggernaut @oko_terry]

@instablog9ja I'm not on anyone's side, just always know in your heart that no matter how bad any situation is, it could've been worse!

[The_juggernaut @oko_terry]

@zeyan_liu Hi Dr. Liu! I am interested in the PhD positions in your lab at the University of Louisville. My background is in Computer Science with a focus on AI/ML and cybersecurity, specifically in areas like adversarial testing and data privacy.
