Trump has launched an illegal regime change war in Iran with American lives at risk. Congress must convene on Monday to vote on Rep. Thomas Massie & my WPR to stop this. Every member of Congress should go on record this weekend on how they will vote.

eg: I’d label recent comments from Chamath and Kara Swisher as both being MM-brained. Driven more by anger than logic.

The fine-grained MoE scaling law would imply that % active params continues to get smaller.

DeepSeek is at ~5% active. Anyone beating that?

That’s already getting into neuromorphic territory, even if the shape of the activity might be a bit more β€œblocky” than spidery like you would see in biology.

On @chrislhayes.bsky.social, I called on @schumer.senate.gov to support @kaine.senate.gov, @sanders.senate.gov, Rep. Massie & my resolution opposing a war in Iran. This is a defining moment for our party where too many blundered in supporting the Iraq war.

Now we need to be clear β€” no war in Iran.

In other words:
Plasticity rules like Oja's let us go beyond studying how synaptic plasticity in the brain can _match_ the performance of backprop.

Now, we can study how synaptic plasticity can _beat_ backprop in challenging, but realistic learning scenarios.

Anyone else interested in academic funding drives that lean into tribalism as a tool for good (and wallet opening)?

What other strategies are people taking to help our academic friends in need?

One thing I’m trying is the #NeuromorphicRivalryFund which will pit different schools and programs against each other on a specific funding topic, but it would be nice if there was a network of such efforts that could gather more attention together.

How should America heal its own academic wounds more than China will?

Research ultimately benefits the world, but funding sources get to peek into the future a little farther and bias academic freedom in their favor. A slight edge in an exponential growth curve separates the winners and losers.

There’s more Chinese grant money in US academics than many realize and I bet it will be less taboo for professors to accept Chinese funds now, given their dire straits.

In the spirit of friendly rivalry, ...

This isn’t particularly useful but, well, I hear from a lot of people from the science-centered agencies these days (NIH, NOAA, EPA, couple others) and the degree of, I dunno, grimness (?) is really palpable. The whole gov scientific enterprise is just getting ground into dust. It sucks so hard.

NSF Award Search: Award # 2240343 - Constructing Credible Knowledge and Expertise in Air Pollution Regulation and Monitoring: The Problem of Quantification Lock

My PhD student's NSF grant was terminated today. Her dissertation investigates why air pollution monitoring, metrics, and regulations don't properly capture the harms experienced by marginalized communities--esp in the most polluted Detroit neighborhoods. She and I are happy to talk with press etc.

BREAKING: We're suing the National Institutes of Health over their politically-motivated purge of research grants.

This is an unlawful attack on scientific progress that puts lives at risk.
