Before he buys this app and blocks people from talking about him, I want to tell you that this is the dumbest transportation invention I will ever live to see. (LVCVA)

The Transformer is a magnificient neural network architecture because it is a general-purpose differentiable computer. It is simultaneously:
1) expressive (in the forward pass)
2) optimizable (via backpropagation+gradient descent)
3) efficient (high parallelism compute graph)

The under-attribution of women’s contributions to science is well known & well studied. A measure of under-attribution is the under-citation of papers authored by women relative to expected rates. In a new @NaturePhysics paper we explore this citation gap in contemporary physics.

Excited to share that our paper on neurocomputational mechanisms of mismatch generation has been accepted @NeuroImage_EiC ! Thanks to Felix Lucka, @AntjeP_ @BruchmannMax, and Thomas Straube for the great teamwork! https://t.co/IG9XUh0A5W

Very happy to see our new paper out in @NeuroImage_EiC: In a novel attentional blink paradigm with trial-by-trial awareness reports but uncertain target relevance, conscious perception enhanced early negativities (VAN) but not late positivities (P3b). https://t.co/Ahjvan7UTy

Awesome Diffusion Models

A fantastic and well-organized collection of learning resources on diffusion models such as introductory papers, survey papers, intro videos, long lectures, and blog posts. Papers in vision, natural language, tabular, graph, etc.

In 1964, C.P. Willans found this exact(!) formula for the primes.

Watch @ericrowland nicely explain how it works and why it's kinda useless...

@sycramore Ich lese keine Bewerbungen mehr, die nicht ein *personalisiertes* Anschreiben beinhaltet. Sie muss eine Motivation enthalten, warum die Person ausgerechnet bei/mit uns arbeiten will. Ein Absatz Anpassung für jede rausgeschickte Bewerbung ist Minimum.

Today i learned that Capybaras are chill with everyone. Here they are getting along with the entire animal kingdom. Real life Disney princesses.

Tiny neural networks have a surprisingly rich inner life, and may hold clues to how their larger cousins work. This image: evolution of feature vectors during learning. Full story: https://t.co/5lULpDZQBE (in collaboration with the great interpretability team at @AnthopicAI)
