perceptional “biases” are well-honed survival skills

Michael Hahn @mhahn29  Why is human perception systematically biased? In joint @NatureNeuro work with @weixx2 , we provide a unified theory of perceptual biases. OA link: https://rdcu.be/dyHzf journal page: https://nature.com/articles/s41593-024-01574-x Replying to @mhahn29 @NatureNeuro and @weixx2 For human survival, efficiency, and competitive advantage. My lifetime recorded experiences, hard self-training, instantly eliminate the useless and extraneous.

“AI advice kills 1000s”

Dan Roy @roydanroy  Amazing news for researchers working on hallucinations. x.com/mlittmancs/sta… Michael Littman @mlittmancs Airline installs chatbot. Customer gets bad information from it. Customer asks for refund. Airline says “the chatbot is a separate legal entity that is responsible for its own actions” (!). Court says no. (Whew.) Airline makes refund and turns off chatbot.

At least try to make a 3D digital twin version.

Danielle Beckman @DaniBeckman  Happy #FluorescenceFriday! There is a forest inside your head Neurons & microglia! https://pic.twitter.com/oAATX9Quw1 Replying to @DaniBeckman In my forests the molecules and electrons, the water molecules and salts are intelligent and help me remember and interpret local and global flows. In my forests there are no vacuums, voids or empty places. In

Merging, sharing, comparing conversations

Sebastian Raschka @rasbt  As an LLM finetuner, I recently started getting into model merging. I wrote up a short tutorial on linear merging to introduce the topic: https://lightning.ai/lightning-ai/studios/efficient-linear-model-merging-for-llms Btw does anyone happen to have good examples of LLMs that work well when merged via linear merging? And for… Replying to @rasbt The reason I have

MOND might be several phenomena including multipole gravitational potential flows near the speed of light

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modified_Newtonian_dynamics Their a0 is 1.2E-10 meter/second^2 which is the sensitivity needed to follow the sun moon tidal gravity signal at the earth’s surface. Potential changes at the sun and moon (and on earth) “diffuse” at the speed of light and change the local gradients. Also, electrons and protons from suns – a few charges easily
