Selten hab ich eine so intelligente Lösung gesehen, wie man den Eigentümer eines Geldbeutels kontaktieren kann. Chapeau! (Netzfundstück)

Next up in the talks from the #NaturalPhilosophy Symposium: Sandra Mitchell @sandradmitchell.bsky.social on Biological Complexity and Scientific Practice, with comments from Brandon Ogbunu @cbo.bsky.social. www.youtube.com/watch?v=OamF...

New preprint written with the wonderful philosopher William Ramsey: Mental Representation Without Neural Representation: Understanding The Evidence osf.io/preprints/ps...

… this time also with an excellent Perspective!

1/5 🦖 Michael Crichton’s Jurassic Park (1990) turns 35 in November. In a new preprint, I argue that it was a prescient meditation on evolutionary genetics, complexity, & control. I also examine analogous efforts of today (e.g. “de-extinction.") Select points below: ecoevorxiv.org/repository/v...

Geometric properties of musical scales constitute a representational primitive in melodic processing. osf.io/preprints/ps... If you like music, music theory, cognitive science, and new ideas, this merits a look @omriraccah.bsky.social, Michael Seltenreich, Claire Pelofi, plus Fred Lerdahl & me

You know how you once wondered how artificial and biological neurons differ? And what that might mean for AI systems? Luckily, we wrote the definitive paper on this @cp-patterns.bsky.social: www.cell.com/patterns/ful...

Novels are just synthetic training data for humans.

Space-station specific accents are going to be so cool.

…, with such a good Perspective!

ja heul doch bei diesen temperaturen hat platon die politeia geschrieben

Why do humans (and other animals) blink synchronously with both eyes? Would life not be less dangerous if at any point of time at least one eye could see?

This will sound weird but love yourself enough to write your own term papers.

Philosophische Fragen mathematisch lösen? Dem ging schon Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz selbst nach. Der Mathematiker und Philosoph Prof. Hannes Leitgeb @lmumuenchen.bsky.social hat konkrete Antworten gefunden - und erhält dafür den #LeibnizPreis 2025 der #DFG. Sein Kurzportrait: youtu.be/DfpbZSv3xBU?...

Hey, you’re a fun guy. I’m a fungus. It’s singular.

Just out: my new paper on emulating sensation in neuromorphic hardware. Probably the most compassionate thing you’ll ever read about hardware and subjective experience!
