One of my math professors told us that when he started elementary school they tried starting maths classes with logic and combinatorics, because they were most essential maths and in principle could be experienced by children by seeing, feeling etc. He said it was a stupid approach. I say he turned out a math professor, so maybe it worked.

That’s quite a different thing than being anti-woke, though. It is fair to criticize entertainment media for putting a political message before entertainment (not that I find only shooting and explosions very entertaining, but that is a different matter). It is not like he criticizes left political views themselves. Of course, it is also unreflected of him not to notice politics that persist in his own books, but if I boycott all media with someone involved who voiced an opinion different than my own, I will run out of books and suffocate in a bubble.

How do you test this though? The eye is highly adaptive. If you close one eye, look at something red, then close the other one, your formerly closed eye will already have adapted to the darkness of your eye lid. Depending on how long you do the looking, I can imagine this leading to quite a difference in color perception already.

Beautifully carved! Just to be certain though: This is about Outer Wilds - Echoes of the Eye, right?

I have seen this (or a very similar) picture about five years ago and have thought about it nearly every time I heard the name Radcliffe. I am very thankful that you posted it here and I can finally save it as a reference.

Thanks for giving this reference! The book is out of print, but high-resolution scans can be downloaded here for free, which is endorsed by the original author apparently.

I love your enthusiasm! But as someone who works in semiconductor development, I feel a bit like it is time to abandon this branch of the technology tree for now again. Maybe I am just disheartened from the PhD stress, but where does it really lead to right now? Following up on Moore’s Law right now just seems to promise higher efficiency and lower electricity demands while actually that is mainly greenwashing attempt IMO (lower resolution technologies are more energy and resurce efficient when considering resource demand during production; high device density leads usually to increase of the number of transistors which are operated parallely, so while the single FET is more efficient in dynamic operation, the whole chip might have much higher leakage). At the same time this efficiency is used as justification to just increase the calculation load whithout considering if it is useful (e.g. LLMs). Resources might be better allocated for More than Moore/architectural approaches e.g. for neuromorphic computing to actually reduce the immense AI computing load coming up.
Sorry for the rant, I think I gotta quit my job.

I wish I could do some more reading, I just never do because my higher-ups bombard me with tasks and want me to publish all my results right away no matter how much background I know.

Exactly. This will not have an effect on a regular reviewer who plays by the rules. But if they try to let an LLM do their reviewing job, it is fair to prevent negative consequences for your paper in this way.

Well, Kevin makes more sense to have gay sex with than Karen. At least if you are male.
- Comment on PLASTICMAXXING 10 months ago:
There is different health implications connected to microplastics like infertility and cardiovascular diseases, although the connections are not quite understood yet. The amount of microplastics in the human body is very alarming though. A study with brain samples found 0.5w% of plastics, which corresponds to roughly 6g of plastic in a brain. That’s a credit card’s worth of plastic.
This article should give some overview over different findings and implications:

I recently got an MRI and wondered about 3D printing my brain as well. Is there any kind of standard conversion software to get an .stl file out of my MRI data or how did you go about it?
- Comment on Entropy? Never heard of it. 1 year ago:
At the latest after decarbonization of the power grid (yes I am laughing as I write this), we will want to remove CO2 from the air which was emitted 50 years ago. Also I would like to point out that the IPCC scenarios about reducing global warming already include carbon capture. Plans to remove CO2 from energy production till 2035 already only work under the premise that we actively start removing CO2 from the atmosphere simultaneously.

It’s not the different places and times your body parts stop that kill you. It is the inflexibility of your connecting body parts inbetween?
