Interesting experiment! Made me think of the book “how we learn: the new science of education and the brain”

Never used it :).

Keep me updated on your progress, I barely have any time to do it as thoroughly as you and so I’ll be glad to learn from your experiment also

It’s not so theory heavy but I’ve enjoyed the paper titled “what uncertainty do we need in Bayesian deep learning for computer vision?” By Kendall and Gal of Cambridge.

If you find some nice introductory/theory paper please share them also :)!

Bayesian neural networks are a thing ;)

Money and freedom is quite nice :)

As a French I’m insulted by this title :p

Since the work was done with the military, it will have some applications there for sure. However, I’m more looking forward to application in infrastructure quality evaluation and robotics :)

I’m not an expert in that domain but I know people who are and, according to them, roundup is one of the (if not the) most studied compound, and all scientific studies done point to it being safe for use. I haven’t read the studies myself mainly because I’m not equipped to understand them frankly but can someone point to some evidence that roundup did result in this poor guy getting cancer :/?

Edit: look everyone who is downvoting, EFSA, the US EPA and ECHA have all looked at it and found that it’s safe. So maybe instead of downvoting me, find me a better study than what they did that show it isn’t.

I appreciate the link. I am going slowly through the article that I find interesting because I like graphs and structure, but I have no idea if any of it holds for actual physics and I didn’t know the man before. Now I have a better idea of why people where answering this to this post (although it seems a little bit exaggerated) :).

Before selling the 5, they should make it so one can buy the 4 x)

Thanks for sharing! I’ll have a look later it sounds great!

I think it’s nothing particularly weird, I’ve always assumed that there are spores in the soil and it happens when it gets a bit too much water, no? I don’t think they need to worry :)

I have used the exact sentence “broadcasting into the abyss” hahaha. It feels to me that everything is short lived and context-less

I have no idea how use mastodon effectively :/. Lenny has the advantage of article + discussion so there is a topic to follow. Mastodon/Twitter has always been too chaotic for me. Any advice on how to make it worth it and not just a massive mess x)?

https://pubpeer.com/ mentionned in the article is an interesting website that I will check out. However, peer review is supposed to be done by experts so I’m not sure how this website ensure that :).

I also found https://openreview.net/about interesting as a concept. Although it is a bit nerve wracking to have reviews public.

Any way to bypass the paywall for this article :)?

I always feel like research on coffee is inherently biased since 99% of scientists I know are hooked on coffee :p

Such a stupid lie. A lot of policies are based today on this idea of nudges. I know in my company they tried to improve safety mindsets through that « science » and that it is all fake quite literally killed people.

I read that paper and it’s really really incredible. The results are super impressive.
