Machines which seem to think

Marie Neurath is amazing, and her book on cognitive science for kids is wonderful: Machines which Seem to Think (1954). H/t @irisvanrooij.bsky.social youtu.be/XBWhdcD0r9I for this video about her. Book available for free online: www.fulltable.com/iso/mw.htm

o guioza deles é um dos melhores, tem versões ao vapor, frita ou assada. particularmente gosto da suína ao vapor. o yakissoba é muito bom também (porém acho um pouco oleoso), mas vem bastante. tem aquela carne moída com tofu (mapo tofu), muito boa. morava lá perto e ia lá com frequência, aliás sdds

The only surprise is they admit it

Illustration of three vibrantly colored, imaginary fish from an 18th-century book. The largest fish on the right features vertical black and white stripes, a green spotted tail, and multicolored fins and mouth with an open jaw displaying teeth. The upper left fish has a blue body with diagonal black stripes, a red heart shape on its side, pink and yellow-tipped fins, and a red and yellow face. The bottom left fish is brown with a yellow tail, green-striped fins, and a head with exaggerated pink and orange features. The artistic style is detailed but fantastical, combining natural elements with imaginative shapes and colors.

People who aspire to be academics: I wish to live a life of the mind

Actual academics:

When this "AI" bubble pops, the men pretending they weren't pushing the hype, like "critics" whose position is "AGI is real but LLMs aren't the way," who were in eugenicist and "AI existential risk"🙄 circles, will get specials discussing what they saw coming, when its the women who told you so.

congrats!!!

Um pássaro pequeno e colorido, com a cabeça preta adornada por uma mancha azul brilhante, repousa em um galho de árvore. Suas penas são azuis vibrantes no peito e nas costas, contrastando com a barriga branca. A ave está de perfil, com o bico fino apontado para a direita, enquanto observa algo fora do campo de visão. O galho, coberto de musgo e com algumas flores brancas penduradas, adiciona um toque natural à cena. Atenção: O alt da imagem foi gerado automaticamente.

Basic light pollution diagram showing four different streetlight set ups ranging from more light pollution on the left to less light pollution on the right. The most pollution option, labelled "very bad" is a street lamp with a round uncovered bulb on top, making a sphere of light in the air. The next option, labelled "bad" has a tiny cap on top, that limits the upward pollution a bit. The "better" option is mostly uncovered on top, limiting pollution above the streetlight. The final option, labelled "best" has a full shroud overtop, limiting the light to only below the streetlight, where it is needed for pedestrians and vehicles.

Lots of folks captioning aurora photos like "for a few minutes we didn't think about politics"

guess I'm built different, every time I'm out trying to see night sky stuff I frequently think about how much light pollution is entirely preventable with just a tiny bit of regulation
