Ah there it is. The article didn't mentioned the acronym specifically so I didn't find it. Thanks

Do you mind spelling out NSE for me?

I'm not minimizing any of the countless other reasons he should be drafting his resignation.

It's that he said this to a woman. In her workplace. In front of her colleagues. While she does her job.

It's a disgrace. He owes her an apology, and so do all of his voters, frankly.

I'd argue that both of those benefit from empirical tethers. The existence of recurrence and spiking are two very strong tethers driven by data.

Not all tethers are equally efficient. e.g. the connectome might 500GB but maybe not as important as the existence of spikes.

I'm less confident about a pure comp theory as an inspiration for neuro, because the space of possible theories is wildly deep and unexplored. I think we need empirical tethers to pin down some of those dimensions

I think JuJitsu would actually do better than boxing, get in a fast takedown and then warp those inflexible joints with arm bars and the like.

I say this having no idea how much strength is required to bend those joints but JJ is good at finding leverage

But seriously we are going to see human vs robot boxers pretty soon, and that will probably last only a few years before humans are afraid to even try.

I would like to see that robot go haus

Here’s a story for every national news outlet:

In N.C., churchgoers are literally running into the woods as federal agents descend on the property.

“Inside the church, women and children sobbed as they wondered whether their loved ones had been taken.”

I think the word nuance can mean different things in scientific practice. Sometimes it is used as a pejorative, to indicate bad/unclear writing. But it can (and probably should) mean a discussion of subtle relationships that aren't obvious.

Sure, good writing is better than unclear writing. But my point was that sometimes writing is good because it brings out things that a reader might not pick up from the data

Assuming everything ships in a docker and that the docker is itself not to far out of date.

Language is limited in specificity but also resistant to drift. I can find enough details in many papers from 1930 to replicate them.
