- an internet person has made a searchable version of Borges‘ library of Babel and it’s way more horrifying than the actual story libraryofbabel.info

When the government blocks even the intelligence services from telling us we're heading for environmental catastrophe, you know we have a problem. A very big problem.

- Among all the weirdness of today, look ok at this marvel of human progress turning 25 today: - free for everyone, no subscription, no ads - built by everyone (who likes to), with a very slim organizational overhead - the single largest source of knowledge in the word Humans can do great things.

- Reposted by Dirk GütlinOn a more positive note, this NN is worth a read. It takes a similar approach to Ashwood, Calhoun etc to explore diff behavioral states using HMM, but here using a hierarchical Dirichlet process to infer number of states www.nature.com/articles/s41...
- I've been mentioning this last year after Machado was awarded they Nobel peace price. Already half a year ago, a lot of big firms in the US were briefed on "post-Maduro investment opportunities" in Venezuela. So I think they might've known all they needed. www.semafor.com/article/11/0...

- Hey all, I am gathering a list of ideas/links for stuff you can do to help democracy/society. Collecting trash, calling representatives, watching educational videos - please comment anything you think might help. ❤️ You'd do me a huge favor if you share this so the right people see it. Thanks! 🙏
- Like for example this resource that helps voters in the US make their voices heard on important topics: 5calls.org Just put anything in you think might be useful. Even if it is just a link or a bare minimum idea, it helps. Thank You 🫶
- This type of research is way too rare, even today! Will definitely check this out!
- New paper for #neurips2025! AI models adjust millions of internal settings to get better at a task. But how are these adjustments determined? For decades, we've mostly figured this out through trial & error. We took a different approach...🧵 (1/6) 🔗 openreview.net/forum?id=oMi...
- Reposted by Dirk GütlinThrilled to announce that I’ve been awarded an ERC grant #ERCCoG to work on disentangling memory and prediction. I’m super grateful to my lab members, collaborators, and mentors! If you’re looking for a PhD/postdoc position, stay tuned! @erc.europa.eu @maastrichtu.bsky.social

MSK, neuroscience, cardiac, cancer applications all encouraged!

- Hi US-Americans, just a reminder from normality: If in any other working democracy protests would take place and the president would be sharing a video of himself in a war plane with a king's crown dumping shit on them, that guy would be gone SO FAST. Why do you let this happen? You have the power!

- Reposted by Dirk Gütlin1/ Why are we so easily distracted? 🧠 In our new EEG preprint w/ Henry Jones, @monicarosenb.bsky.social and @edvogel.bsky.social we show that distractibility is associated w/ reduced neural connectivity — and can be predicted from EEG with ~80% accuracy using machine learning.

- Reposted by Dirk GütlinJust a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars. OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.
