Do you have the averages or anything to view? Would love to see that. I got 0.0137 which seems higher than most but I am also colourblind lol.

0.0137.... For being red-green colourblind I'm very happy with that.

Mark Lamarr once posted "who do we think is the most influential country singer" and I said "for me it's gotta be hank, basically the genesis of the modern style" and he said "no, it's clearly this other guy, cos I mean only voice not music" and then blocked me lol.

Let's say I have a directional prior that my results don't show. What do I do? I say "maybe I asked a bad question" or I demonstrate why I asked a good question and the result should stand.... So, I would justify the model space after the fact... So why not just focus on that?

I'm actually now struggling to think of any realn reason to care about hypotheses in neuroscience experiment design.

I can't think of a situation where it supercedes model space. If your space is justified and appropriate, what does it matter?

A hypothesis only applies to the mode space anyway.

I have heard "I only use AI for the first draft" as if that's cool, and not the draft where you do all the idea forming and synthesis.

I guess the point of research is to generate papers right? Point of writing is to generate words?

I beleive there is a relationship between the aversiveness of a stimuli and it's salience.

One of my papers has like 8 citations where the authors 100% did not read it.

Unless I accidentally became a robotics researcher.....

Eurgh... "And active socialising"

Connection isn't always so overt as conversations and a tube socialising... Sometimes it's about being tied to a community.

Living somewhere without these sorts of third spaces, you really miss the "non-event" social connection.

If the claim is Claude is conscious, anthropic should define what consciousness isn't first.

They're young. They don't know the vast array of choices, smaller search space :P
