Very grateful to the amazing @anilseth.bsky.social for this wonderful blurb: "The world runs on predictions, and it always has. Readable and rigorous, #Prophecy uncovers how predictions have shaped our lives from ancient Greece to the new oracles of AI...

How do humans keep inventing tools and technologies that no single person could create alone? Our new preprint, led by @anilyaman.bsky.social & @ts-brain.bsky.social shows that semantic knowledge guides innovation and drives cultural evolution. 🧠📘 arxiv.org/abs/2510.12837

grumble

Extracting structural/linguistic properties for large text datasets can be annoying. Existing tools either are not maintained, do not scale, or do not cover extensive sets of linguistic features. For this reason, I implemented 🧝elfen, a Python package for efficient linguistic feature extraction

THIS. CHANGES. EVERYTHING.

in 2026, all loops will be strictly metaphysical. all procedural loops will be punished by summary execution

The first but by no means the last annoying rock star I refused to serve AND I STAND BY EVERY DECISION

MY GRAMMAR OPINIONS? FROM A MACHINE LEARNING ENGINEER? WITH A SIDELINE IN POLITICAL PUNDITRY? ON THEIR BLOG OR FCKIN PODCAST OR SOME SHIT LIKE THAT? INDEED THEY ARE SIR, INDEED THEY ARE

Hi everyone! We are the Evolutionary Modelling Group! We are interested in many topics, from the evolution of microbial mutational robustness to the evolution of language and culture in humans. We rely on a variety of methods, both computational (evolutionary simulations) and mathematical.

I taught (and co-taught) a course on human population genetics from 2000-2024. Having retired, I'm now making all the course materials public: github.com/alanrogers/p... #popgen #evbio

Finished teaching my first seminar course today! Had tons of fun introducing my students to the rational foundations of human-like cooperation. Now that the course is over, I'm sharing the syllabus more widely!

Have we figured out what Kant said yet?

the best answer i got for this:

New analysis by The Australia Institute finds the Australian National University has a $90 million surplus, not a $142 million deficit!

Thanking the reviewers

"Knight Rider" (1984) s02e17, Garthe Knight (Michael Knight's evil twin) breaks out of prison. Now in glorious HD.

I've found it kind of a pain to work with resources like VerbNet, FrameNet, PropBank (frame files), and WordNet using existing tools. Maybe you have too. Here's a little package that handles data management, loading, and cross-referencing via either a CLI or a python API.

Delighted to speak in Tokyo next October at this fantastic event ! 😎 Thank you for having me🙏! Will be talking about embodiment and Artificial Agents osf.io/preprints/ps...

Great news from the @erc.europa.eu today: I received an ERC Starting Grant to study the cultural evolution of literature 🔥 www.eva.mpg.de/press/news/a...

the whole AI Herrenvolk Thoughocracy schtick annoys me way less these days - it's the intellectual equivalent of a clown in underpants slapping themself on the back, like, whatevs, have at it their TOTAL IGNORANCE OF FOUNDATIONAL COMPUTER SCIENCE, on the other hand, DRIVES ME INTO WILD FITS OF RAGE

And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts And I looked and behold, a pale horse And his name that sat on him was Death And a json followed with him

Just published… I argue that preregistration does not improve the transparent evaluation of the severity of hypothesis tests (a) in Popper’s approach or (b) in Mayo’s error statistical approach when preregistration is treated as “a plan, not a prison.” Open Access: doi.org/10.1007/s112...

Consciousness needs a subject osf.io/preprints/ps... - new preprint with Carolyn Dicey Jennings @cdj.bsky.social (commentary on Anil Seth's BBS piece)

Is the brain a computer? Well, yes and no - it's not just *any* computer! It's an Amstrad PCW512, originally targeted at the word processing and home office market but, with the expansion to 512k of memory, made the big move into cognition in 1987

This is one of the most beautiful things I have witnessed, the craft here is impeccable.

"Remember when there were no ads on bluesky and mastodon was legal? Man I miss every youtuber shilling for a scam in between 30s ads. Smartphones with no pop-ups baked into the UI? Good old times. Yesterday my rental bicycle asked me to write a 200 word essay to feed GPT13's training dataset."

"The Breakfast-Time of Language argues that it was not hunting, fighting, or tool-making that forced early humans to speak, but in fact a very particular combination of waffles and syrup"

Do the disfluencies and gestures we produce when we speak act as metacognitive cues? Our new paper is out now to answer this question! Great work led by Begüm Yılmaz @begumyilmaz.bsky.social 👐💬 #CogPsych #PsychSciSky

Methods in the Philosophy of Science: A User's Guide is now a real, live book. My chapter offers an appraisal of philosophy of science in its engagement with applied mathematics. With immense gratitude for the vision and execution of @phieveigl.bsky.social and @adrian-currie.bsky.social sky.social.

I finally had time to update PyCX to ver. 1.2! Many new models and bug fixes. Enjoy!! github.com/hsayama/PyCX
