Skye 🐈 agrees with Prof. Hinton about the looming AI Doomsday and is visibly upset :/

Finally! Got the indices right in deriving the Geodesic Equation with the Christoffel symbols expressed in the standard form! Phew (and wohoo!)!!! Tl;dr. Finding the shortest path under a general metric is an insanely complicated thing computationally, quite unintuitive but true!

N-th attempt at deriving the Geodesic equation without messing up the tensor indices... so close to having the right Christoffel tensor expression now but it's still missing terms:( 😮‍💨

My PhD students are now out on the academic job market. Please give them jobs (and tuna). Ty.

I've a new law based on my observations of my cats. The center of mass of all cats in the household is a random walk around the pet owner's coordinates.

With the new Roaring Kitty, it's no GameStop but GameStart. #luna #skye

A place of worship to reflect on what matters. Frederick Banting lives on through his gift of Insulin to the world that he sold to UofT for $1. Some live once, and some others live forever through their actions... #BantingAndBest #ThisIsCANADA #Never51

Here's a simple app that lets you ask these kinds of questions — and it automatically infers relevant search terms, queries the ClinicalTrials.gov API, and responds with grounded answers and citations.

@apurvaratan.bsky.social et al. (Nature 2021) collected neural responses from fMRI scans on a limited dataset of visual stimuli and subsequently trained a CNN model to replicate the activations. To their surprise, the CNN generalized to novel stimuli. (5/10)

Inspiring talk by Prof. @nancykanwisher.bsky.social today at McGill on the specificity of cortical regions for various functions/stimuli. Some intriguing points of the talk👇 - a thread: 🧵 (1/10)
