Beyond the Sandbox | Percepta Real-world decision-making demands more than benchmarks. We're building systems that learn and improve through deployment.

The first blog post from Percepta is out: how do we get ML-based decision-making into the deep problems that have plagued critical industries for decades?

As it turns out, lots of people like when you cosplay a Manly Man of the "working class" (petty bourgeoisie), especially if you've got a tottenkopf. America hasn't fucking learned shit after a decade.

“Multifamily housing is for young renters and the poor while single family homes are for established adults with children” is a really pernicious folk theory about how housing markets should work that I think is foundational to so much bad housing policy at all levels of government.

There is no way to restore functional science agencies without Court reform

We get to choose:

The Roberts Court and its approach to executive power, or the American science superpower.
We can't have both.

22 years of Brain Science: what CoSyNe tells us about the evolution of Neuroscience Tracking the intellectual DNA of Computational and Systems Neuroscience through its flagship meeting

I tracked every keyword in 22 years of Cosyne abstracts to map how computational neuroscience evolved — from Bayesian brains to neural manifolds to LLMs — and where it's heading next.

Really gotta reiterate how absolute my hostility is to anyone who even remotely looks like they're advocating for a return to a golden age of supposedly leisurely subsistence as an antidote to the real but lesser problems of capitalism and industry.

We need to kill the mythology of the proud peasant dead.

Our peasant ancestors were canny, scrappy survivors. That doesn't necessarily select for pride or heroic defiance.

(especially since life as a peasant historically isn't proud and self reliant anyways, it's desperately sucking up to the local big man who runs the industrial capital)

are you interested in other places for their own sake, not just as an extension of America? congratulations, you are already ahead of the majority of DC think tanks.

It is astonishing how pervasive this sentiment has been over the last 10 years. I heard a college professor say during Trump 1 that for as evil/racist/misogynistic as Trump was (none of which the professor disputed, he ostensibly hated the man), he was also "one of the least pro war presidents ever"

this, but also the NYT operates to fixed internal narratives in its political coverage, and the one they had evidently decided on was "Andrew Cuomo has done his time on the naughty step and now gets to come back because MeToo/woke went too far"

Senator, all due respect to Asian Carp haters, for whom I'm sure this is a big deal, I think the fact that he threatened to annex Canada again merits a mention.

Yeah, like, that's not nightmarish speculation, just everyday reality. The world cares only because it has startlingly much symbolic investment in what happens to exactly one group of people in that specific Conflict, and beyond that barely gives a fuck.

Insurrectionist Brunch: Trumpists plotted to deploy military on U.S. soil Before the 2024 election, a cadre of MAGA loyalists met over brunch to plot ways for Trump to use the military domestically.

This is just astonishingly great reporting.

All of the crises the White House has claimed over the last 14 months were planned in advance. All of them.

And however much contempt you have for media outlets who reverently relayed Trump's claim to have no relation to Project 2025, it isn't enough.
