In 2016 Hinton predicted that AI would replace all radiologists in five years. Ten years later, why hasn't it happened? This post is a great explainer.

Lochnagar from Tarland Trails today. The trails are great but the climb up did make me wish my budget stretched to an e-bike...

New preprint of a series of studies that surprised us(!) We report six studies investigating SNARC effects for non-symbolic representations of quantity. Contrary to our previous findings, we find SNARC effects for colour decision to non-symbolic quantities osf.io/preprints/ps...

If I wear out clothes I really like I quite often buy exactly the same thing again on Vinted!

Tiso is my favourite. Although Vinted can be quite good for outdoor gear.

The best description of external examining work I've ever seen.

Exam board prep today, and as usual it's one part academic judgement to three parts "The oodlified scripts have been uploaded to a password-protected polycule on FlipWangle. If you haven't set up 5FA on your uniSnork account you can simply repuffer via Blarg. The helpdesk will reopen on Wednesday."

Really liked Andor, even if it massively overestimated my ability to remember who everyone was (closes 15 wookieepedia tabs).

Oh - and he loved the Wild Robot series! There's also these "League of Thieves" books that involve rolling dice and making decisions (turn to page 64 if you choose the left door, etc).

I loved the Lloyd Alexander Chronicles of Prydain books as a kid. Also The Neverending Story, Wizard of Earthsea, The Dark is Rising series, and anything by Rosemary Sutcliffe. My son loved The City of Ember. If she likes graphic novels, he also loved the Amulet series.
