Mhh. I don't doubt that domestic students are thought at a (monetary) loss and charities are usually not charged overheads for research- so that check out. But inudstry?

Anyway, that doesn't change the fact that it's mostly money from international students that keep UK universties afloat....

Is there a source for that? Knowing the overheads that are charged to companies, it massivly surprise me to learn that UK universities (at least the big ones) do industry-funded research at a loss.

Excited to share our new preprint...

...𝑖𝑡'𝑠 𝑎𝑏𝑜𝑢𝑡 𝑡𝑖𝑚𝑒! ⏳

We find temporal confounds in fMRI that emulate neural patterns of perceptual learning.

These can be hard to spot with conventional RSA, but may influence our understanding of how prior knowledge shapes perception.

This article does not do the ruling any justice (pun intended). It's actually quite groundbreaking in that it opens the door for much, much more litigation.

Christ. Just came downstairs to find my dad watching an entirely AI-generated YouTube video about an event that didn't happen involving the Pope. Had to convince him the whole think was fake. "How can you tell?" he asked. He has five degrees including a PhD.

A section titled what?? In a chapter titled WHAT????

It's important to note here that our understanding of Kennedy's disbelief in germ theory isn't based on speculation or deduction; it's based on Kennedy's own words. He wrote an entire section on it in his 2021 book vilifying Fauci, titled The Real Anthony Fauci. The section is titled "Miasma vs. Germ Theory," in the chapter "The White Man's Burden."

My working hypothesis is that if you amass a certain amount of wealth, you don't have friends anymore. Not sure which way round the causality works though.

FWIW, this is the complete opposite of my experience. Maybe it just heavily depends on what content you're looking for? See e.g. www.timeshighereducation.com/news/xs-domi...

Hi Josh. Thanks for posting this. I just ran your demo it and can confirm that it elicits a similar color experience, as we state in the paper. The difference is that olo delivered in our system persists indefinitely, or as long as you are willing to stay clamped into a bite bar :)
