Ufak bir not... Yerinizde olsam burada haber sitesi görünümlü hiçbir hesabı henüz takip etmem. Haber kaynağı dünya kadar yer var zaten. Bunlar Twitter'daki (...)holder vb. sayfaların muadili. Ya bir iktidar aparatı olarak kuruluyorlar ya da takip sayesinde güçlenip bunlara satılıyorlar.

Yeğenim saymaya çalışırken aynı tespiti yapmıştım. Çok basit ve otomatik gibi görünen bir yetenek, fakat ciddi düzeyde soyutlama gerektiriyor. Şu anki LLM lerin tam olarak becerememesine pek şaşmamalı.

A huge anti-Erdoğan protest tonight in Istanbul, defying a four day national ban on protests, to denounce the arrest of Istanbul Mayor Ekrem Imamoglu.

"Break down those barricades without harming the police. Take to the streets and squares", Ozgur Ozel, an opposition leader, told protesters.

I think it is so important that scientists (and all scholars) work towards some greater vision. Whether that is knowledge for its own sake or curing a disease, it is vision that keeps us true and avoids the pitfalls of the careerism disease.

It is similar to the uniformity illusion in vision.

If you put the central argument in your focus, every side evidence around magically supports it.

It is clever how Harari avoids criticism by posing big questions.

Many meta-theories/stories are a child of the same tactic: they offer the meaning of everything, yet are broken when the minor evidence building them is scrutinized.

The Dangerous Populist Science of Yuval Noah Harari ❧ Current Affairs <p>The best-selling author is a gifted storyteller and popular speaker. But he sacrifices science for sensationalism, and his work is riddled with errors.</p>

Indeed, our most precious resource, whether as individuals or as a society, is our attention. Harari captures our attention with a well-structured narrative, though it lacks a solid scientific, logical foundation.

How did some of this goofy psychology research become so popular? I think it’s a form of transub...

"Here’s the problem, as I see it: the scientific credentials accrued by the journal publications give the researcher a sort of license to make large claims unsupported by evidence."

I like how Gelman gets to the core of the issue without moralization.

Nasa says distant exoplanet could have rare water ocean and possible hint of life Space agency said potential finding of dimethyl sulfide on K2-18 b, produced only by life on Earth, is yet to be confirmed

Oooh, a hint of dimethyl sulfide has been found by JWST in an exoplanet atmosphere! This molecule is only produced by life on earth, so if verified is a huge result. The planet in question is likely an ocean world. Cool stuff! 🧪🔭 www.theguardian.com/science/2023...
