Friends, fellow humans, remember:

miserable, pyrrhic victory, grinding down Rev 2

with a fixed smile.. submission after submission

is a victory.

The unfathomable richness of seeing

Many hold that visual experience is sparse and its richness illusory, relying on high-level summaries rather than detailed content. However, we argue here that seeing is more than this – it is unfatho...

October moon.
#31daysofHalloween

Zoomed out picture of white circular moon in faint pinkish sky wedged between two trees out of a line of autumn trees with green, red, and brownish-orange leaves. In front of the trees is a swathe of green grass followed by a line of brownish red taller grass, and in front of that more very green shorter grass.

My paper with @stellalourenco.bsky.social ‬is now out in Science Advances!

We found that children have robust object recognition abilities that surpass many ANNs. Models only outperformed kids when their training far exceeded what a child could experience in their lifetime

Fast and robust visual object recognition in young children

The visual recognition abilities of preschool children rival those of state-of-the-art artificial intelligence models.

According to the City of Paris, in the last 10 years 150K trees have been planted & 45ha of parks created in the already hot city, all intended to not only improve quality-of-life today, but also help the city adapt to & manage summer heatwaves of 50℃ (122F) by 2050.

Just the start.

Common sense.
