we already could do "country of linkedin guys in a datacenter" I think

it's fun to have some people like this like it's fun to have monks who won't step on a bug etc., it's good for the world to have people a bit out there imo. if this guy's in a position of worldly authority that's a different matter maybe

but in humans there are way fewer of those cause L2/3 is thicker enough they can't reach L1 just spreading out. it's just such a mess. I've kind of given up on ever understanding how all this shit fits together, without some kind of drastic improvements in recording technology to pin things down

no doubt the degree to which this is true depends on brain region and species... like mouse V1 L2/3 has a bunch of pyramidal cells that basically don't have a distinct apical dendrite, presumably changing their computational properties...

people will say "the cortex has the same 6 layers everywhere we have to understand what they do!" and then you get into monkey V1 and they distinguish between IVa, IVb, IVcα, and IVcβ... it's fucked...

I think his fuse is too short for social media. at least that's my judgement from reading his blog for a few years now. you have to suffer a lot of fools as a semi-famous person on here and I don't think he'd enjoy that. his essay on the border scuffle is a good read btw rifters.com/real/shorts/...

navigation is maybe a few hundred million years older than manipulation evolutionarily so seems reasonable to me. though that might be a debatable claim. man you really can't fit any justification in a skeet it makes my skin crawl not being able to elaborate

maybe linkedin guys are gonna get really into going on long walks

for me if the entirety of grad school were limited by this kind of decision/evaluation fatigue it would really suck. fortunately being in the "real sciences" I get to break it up every few months by doing relatively monotonous physical lab work. if I couldn't it would be that much more straining!

mass gradstudentification of the professional class. not sure if this is a good thing but it might be interesting

this baby's hands were not much bigger than like, a marmoset's hands, and smaller than a macaque's, but they were human hands! with all the degrees of freedom that entails (well, I'm not sure he could express those yet). I'm not used to that!

I guess this is called an "inertial motion capture suit" and it's maybe a few thousand bucks
