Someone made a site that tracks what people are talking about at public city council meetings across the US. The only thing discussed more than data centers? Pickleball courts.

Every AI model has the same “controversial” take on humans

We asked 12 AI models for their most controversial opinion of humans, three times each. 29 of 35 answers were the same one: we care more about belonging than about the truth.

1/ We discovered something totally unexpected about the neural structure of consciousness that overturns decades of thinking on its biological basis and brings us significantly closer to the recipe for generating conscious awareness. New preprint: biorxiv.org/content/10.64898… (led by @HesseJanis, with @FrankLanfranchi, @_conor_mcgrory, @Yuelin_Shi, and @EngelTatiana)

Rapid alternation of conscious and suppressed stimulus representations in the primate brain

The neural correlates of consciousness remain elusive[1][1]. Previous studies found that high-level visual cortex is weakly modulated by conscious perception[2][2],[3][3], yet a pure signal of...

my core memory of the time was sitting around with my friends, finding snippets of code that actually worked in node we were like "wow this is crazy i can't believe some of this stuff actually compiles" i don't think anybody thought it would ever be an actually useful tool.

half of those friends went on to work at openai / ant and later built claude code etc. people think ai coding was born in the labs, but it actually all started as a movie prop in a hollywood studio

I'm starting to think mathematics were not beautiful because it "describes the beauty of nature" but rather because human mathematicians only went after beautiful but suboptimal descriptions lol

multistage vc’s seed arms are often just crumple zones for their main portfolio refreshing to hear someone say it out loud
Harry Stebbings
@HarryStebbingsOct 5
Every seed investment is an option bet. “You have to think about the venture portfolio as a bunch of options. Each seed investment is an option bet. You are buying an option to see if it is an outlier, and you want to have enough of those to make sure you have an outlier. When there is true quantitative evidence that it is going to be an outlier, then you position size up.” @venkyganesan How do seed funds play in a world where mega funds are totally price insensitive and “option bets” is the mindset for seed checks @infoarbitrage @chudson @hunterwalk @honam @dunkhippo33 @jasonlk
