Does anyone else have the issue with Outlook that if you accidentally move something to Deleted Items, you can't move it back to your inbox?

Btw, I'm having this issue. The one above.

I love Microsoft.

Apple's hold on the laptop industry is kind of interesting. 90% of the time, the computer's main job is to update itself - like sometimes you make an excel file or whatever, but otherwise, it's updates itself until it encounters an update incompatible with the hardware and you have to buy a new one.

🤖 🧠 NEW BLOG POST 🧠 🤖

What skills do you need to be a successful researcher?

The list seems long: collaborating, writing, presenting, reviewing, etc

But I argue that many of these skills can be unified under a single overarching ability: theory of mind

rtmccoy.com/posts/theory...

Illustration of the blog post's main argument, summarized as: "Theory of Mind as a Central Skill for Researchers: Research involves many skills.If each skill is viewed separately, each one takes a long time to learn. These skills can instead be connected via theory of mind – the ability to reason about the mental states of others. This allows you to transfer your abilities across areas, making it easier to gain new skills."

Second, we want to integrate semantic representations with computational "backends", e.g., theorem provers, that can allow for more sophisticated and general reasoning about the representations of probability distributions. Right now, the reasoning is sometimes seemingly more ad hoc than necessary.
