Reviews are taking significantly longer, and rounds of review over what feel like minimally important issues are increasing.

I do think peer review is an important gauntlet to pass (don’t a @ me eLife bros), but of all the dysfunctional things these days, this one seems newly dysfunctional.

As always, this is such a beautiful, important, and inspirational message from @mcsweeneys.net: use GaiaGulp Metal Straws to do your part to help save the planet! 🥤♥️🌎

Love it-- I do this too in my Programming for Psychologists course! It works really well!

In case it's useful, all my materials are here; feel free to re-purpose any of it for your course: github.com/ContextLab/c...

A plot showing a 3D projection of 8 "authors" (each represented with a differently colored and labeled dot). Stylistic distances between authors are reflected by spatial distances in the plot.

🚨 New preprint alert!

We use trained-from-scratch GPT-2 models to characterize & capture the unique writing styles of individual authors. We also develop a new LLM-based relative stylometric measure.

Congrats 🎉!!

You learn better when you test yourself on an answer before you study it? Even more counterintuitive, our findings showcase that there is not one direct mechanism to this effect.

A brain-inspired agentic architecture to improve planning with LLMs - Nature Communications Multi-step planning is a challenge for LLMs. Here, the authors introduce a brain-inspired Modular Agentic Planner that decomposes planning into specialized LLM modules, improving performance across tasks and highlighting the value of cognitive neuroscience for LLM design.

CRESTRICTED] ORIENTATION FACT SHEET 64 WAR DEPARTMENT-WASHINGTON 25, D. C. • 24 March 1945 FASCISM! Note For This Week's Discussion: Fascism is not the easiest thing to identify and analyze; nor, once in power, is it easy to destroy. It is important for our future and that of the world that as many of us as possible understand the causes and practices of fascism, in order to combat it. Points to stress are: (1) Fascism is more apt to come to power at a time of economic crisis; (2) fascism inevitably leads to war; (3) it can come to any country; (4) we can best combat it by making our democracy work.

In March of 1945, the US Army issued this "fact sheet" to guide conversations with soldiers on the topic of fascism, paying particular attention to the ongoing threat that domestic fascist movements posed to the US. Their analysis of what a homegrown US fascism would look like is interesting.

Exciting news! 🎉 Our Computational Neuroscience course has been awarded NIH BRAIN Initiative funding! Students will get hands-on experience w real BRAIN Initiative datasets, helping them build computational skills that are essential for the future of neuroscience.

My husband @danieljbarrett.com has written a new book on responsible software engineering! It is full of advice and case studies gathered from over 100 #Google employees.

Science limited only by imagination is an exhilarating idea. We're not 100% there yet, because (a) models are still dumb in frustrating ways (losing context, not understanding intent, hallucinations, etc.) and (b) the entire AI pipeline is too resource intensive. But the future finally feels close!

10 years ago I had to manually derive gradients and updates (weeks of work). Pytorch and autodiff made it possible to easily fit essentially any model I could code up (~a day of work). Now I can *describe* any model and get code + inference in about an hour. It's exciting!
