A sweeping study by MIT researchers shows the importance of understanding #Alzheimers disease as a battle over how well brain cells regulate the expression of their genes. picower.mit.edu/news/alzheim... #neuroscience #epigenomics @mitbcs.bsky.social @csail.mit.edu
In between the rain this morning the sky lit up with shades of orange. Glastonbury Tor hopefully starting to look a bit greener again.

A new (and widely read) #OpenAccess paper in @complingjournal.bsky.social surveys how researchers detect, explain, and tackle hallucinations in LLMs. Read it here:
It's September! Which means that Rosh Hashanah is on its way. As a companion to my new book, ANYADA BUENA, SHANAH TOVAH, I’ve made a free short educational guide to go along with it, including a coloring page like this! Here’s the full guide - feel free to share: saraharoeste.com/files/136517...

They loaded up those planes with children - some as young as 10. I don’t believe they had a safe place to go in Guatemala. And the government did not care. This admin is the least compassionate of any in my lifetime.

Please help save Milo. He required emergency Intussusception surgery & was slow to recover & required a longer hospital stay than expected. He still requires blood work, ultra sound & X-rays. I’m on SSI & can’t afford this, I have no problems begging. Anything for Milo #cats gofund.me/cd27fb71

Misdemeanor! Ask for a speedy trial and still no DC jury will convict.
Ohh nice✅
We had a Grape Monster update! The opossum you brought us is still with us and improving. He is suffering from besnoitia, a parasite, which we are treating with antibiotics. He also had fur loss at intake and was a little thin, but his fur is coming back well, and he is eating well on his own.
Great update! Good luck to the big guy 💯

I don’t think IIT is pseudoscience, but I do worry about the attitude that criticizing it could cause a 'consciousness winter,' or that other theories don’t even come close. It’s important to keep a little healthy distance from our favorite theories. bigthink.com/neuropsych/e... #neuroscience

Probablemente, pienses que las alucinaciones son algo exclusivo de padecimientos como la esquizofrenia o algo propio del consumo de ciertas sustancias, pero ¿Y si te digo que son algo que perfectamente te podría pasar a ti en cualquier momento, y que son mas comunes de lo que crees? Hilo va!!

The lab leak theory is not a scientific theory, but a poorly thought-out myth. In my chat with @destiny.gg , I describe the two main challenges any scientific lab leak theory would need to have an answer for. Spoiler: It has nothing to do with biosafety at the Wuhan lab. 1/

Playing around with analogies: LLMs are going to be like microwaves: an initially-amazing technology that becomes pervasive, but ends up mostly being used for a mediocre simalcrum of real cooking, churning out fast easy stuff while highlighting just how important are expert cooks and great meals.

How did Intel's 386 processor connect to the outside world? Tiny wires connect to the bond pads around the edges. Special input/output circuits—visible in zoomed-in blocks—send and receive signals while protecting the chip from dangers that could destroy it. Let's take a look... 1/N

This is what happens to successful authors. Caveat emptor. Something similar happened (on much smaller scale) w/ one of my books. Amazon did nothing. Then a journalist reported on it. Amazon took down offending title. I hope someone will report on this happening (much more blatantly) to Eric!

Grape Monster update! >>The opossum you brought us is still in care and doing well. He's being treated for fleas and internal parasites. He’s stable and been eating well on his own. Right now, he just needs time to heal, since it’ll take a little bit of time to clear out his internal parasites.
Nice! 💯👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 wishing Monster a quick recovery

Intel's 386 processor was popular in late 1980s microcomputers. From the outside, the 386 chip is a boring ceramic square. But I obtained a 3-dimensional CT X-ray scan from Lumafield, revealing six layers of complex wiring hidden inside the ceramic package. Let's take a closer look... 1/N
