You won’t believe what degrading practice the Pope just condemned

Communication must be freed from clickbait and misguided thinking, head of Catholic church tells journalists The Pope has condemned clickbait as a “degrading” part of journalism, at a private audience with global newswires. Australian media representatives were among those to hear directly from Pope Leo XIV at the Vatican on Thursday with about 150 members of newswire alliance MINDS International. Continue reading...

I also need to know: I am fairly middle-of-the-road on Taylor Swift but someone I know called her the Greatest Living Lyricist. She is not.

Ao contrário de outras vezes, não tô ligando se o Lula vai indicar mulher ou não. Eu só quero alguém terrivelmente comunista (que nesses tempos significa ser fã da constituição de 88 e com fôlego pra dar na cara de golpista). Infelizmente não dá pra clonar o Dino.

This is a big one! A 4-year writing project over many timezones, arguing for a reimagining of the influential "core knowledge" thesis.

Led by @daweibai.bsky.social, we argue that much of our innate knowledge of the world is not "conceptual" in nature, but rather wired into perceptual processing. 👇

Screenshot of a paper abstract:

“Core knowledge” refers to a set of cognitive systems that underwrite early representations of the physical and social world, appear universally across cultures, and likely result from our genetic endowment. Although this framework is canonically considered as a hypothesis about early emerging conception — how we think and reason about the world — here we present an alternative view: that many such representations are inherently perceptual in nature. This “core perception” view explains an intriguing (and otherwise mysterious) aspect of core-knowledge processes and representations: that they also operate in adults, where they display key empirical signatures of perceptual processing. We first illustrate this overlap using recent work on “core physics”, the domain of core knowledge concerned with physical objects, representing properties such as persistence through time, cohesion, solidity, and causal interactions. We review evidence that adult vision incorporates exactly these representations of core physics, while also displaying empirical signatures of genuinely perceptual mechanisms, such as rapid and automatic operation on the basis of specific sensory inputs, informational encapsulation, and interaction with other perceptual processes. We further argue that the same pattern holds for other areas of core knowledge, including geometrical, numerical, and social domains. In light of this evidence, we conclude that many infant results appealing to precocious reasoning abilities are better explained by sophisticated perceptual mechanisms shared by infants and adults. Our core-perception view elevates the status of perception in accounting for the origins of conceptual knowledge, and generates a range of ready-to-test hypotheses in developmental psychology, vision science, and more.

I have at least two friends who were agnostic and converted to catholicism since Francis became the Pope. These two went full Latin American Liberation Theology in the Vatican and I like it!

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

Given the problem is prevalent across all of society, through all age groups, I think it would make more sense to target how social media actually works for everyone - namely algorithmic feeds and who controls them - rather than targeted user bans like this

A decisão da Câmara de derrubar a medida provisória que corrigia injustiças no sistema tributário não é uma derrota imposta ao governo, mas ao povo brasileiro.

Essa medida reduzia distorções ao cobrar a parte justa de quem ganha e lucra mais. Dos mais ricos.

Impedir essa correção é votar contra o equilíbrio das contas públicas e contra a justiça tributária.

O que está por trás dessa decisão é a aposta de que o país vai arrecadar menos para limitar as políticas públicas e os programas sociais que beneficiam milhões de brasileiros. É jogar contra o Brasil.

Eu lembro que a rede onde estudei no EM tinha como parte do material versões resumidas dos livros do vestibular. Eu até entendia na época pq a) geral ia ler só pra prova; b) a prova pedia só detalhe de enredo; c) ñ tinha wikipedia com o resumo do plot; d) vinha um suplemento sobre a obra pra estudo.
