I fucking love being wrong about stuff. Learning things, learning how to do better, learning to change my behavior for the next time
People should embrace the wrong; being right all the time would be boring and tiring

This!! We need more men saying this out loud! We need more learning institutions holding boys/men accountable for their behavior. We need police and first responders believing what the girl/woman says the first time they say it! We need parents being held accountable for their child’s behavior!
Men—we need to talk:
•Timothy Hudson raped & killed his stepsister—he got pretrial release
•7 men at Cornell drugged, trafficked, & raped a woman—they faced no consequences
•An American man annihilates his entire family—every 5 days
Women are not safe around men

This is a fact. The data is unambiguous and the solutions exist. The only thing missing is the will to act.

But don't you love learning that a policy intended to discourage some behavior actually discourages that behavior? Success!

I am truly, genuinely heartened by how many people are absolutely REFUSING to tolerate Debate Me behavior from idiots on social media nowadays.

Communists take over, nationalize the internet, get rid of tech capitalists, regulate algorithms so they cannot be addictive or engineered to produce anger response and instead promote pro social behavior and learning

Additionally, we're talking about extremely fucked behavior from a progressive candidate who apparently, now we are learning, had a reputation for being (and I'm putting this lightly) a fucking prick groomer of interns, and was powerful enough to ensure silence and/or complicity for years. YEARS.

i think it’s good, actually, that people change their minds upon learning new information, and i think that behavior should be encouraged. bold stance, i know.

"Early Days" are always adorable and awkward. Learning the behavior, the rules, learning to accept the freedom being granted by being on his best behavior. It's a big ask of almost anyone but teaching my eldest the tricks of MY trade while helping teach his little brother was a joy.

"The learning losses are concentrated among roughly 80% of AI users whose behavior is consistent with homework outsourcing, as indicated by exceptionally short homework completion time coupled with high homework scores."

"Reinforcement learning can never cause emergent behavior that is not derivable from the distribution of the pre-training data" is extremely extremely false.

My kink is learning about the awful behavior of voice actors and checking their profile only to learn they've already got me blocked, despite never interacting with me.

Super excited to share this one!! Meta-learning sparsity and learning rate gives rise to brain-like gradients of complementary learning systems. So complementary learning systems emerge organically through behavior optimization, and it's not just two of them!!
Excited to share a new preprint w/ @annaschapiro.bsky.social! Why are there gradients of plasticity and sparsity along the neocortex–hippocampus hierarchy? We show that brain-like organization of these properties emerges in ANNs that meta-learn layer-wise plasticity and sparsity. bit.ly/4kB1yg5
A gradient of complementary learning systems emerges through meta-learning
Long-term learning and memory in the primate brain rely on a series of hierarchically organized subsystems extending from early sensory neocortical areas to the hippocampus. The components differ in t...

You don’t have to want kids or even enjoy being around them. But it’s also worth unpacking why kids simply existing, learning, or having unmet needs reads as “annoying,” “unlikeable,” or “bad behavior.”
This collective discomfort with noise, need, & vulnerability is why many ADULTS are struggling.

Humpback whales have rich cultural traditions in song, feeding, & behavior, which they learn from each other and pass down through generations. They migrate farther than any other marine mammal, continually learning new skills & evolving their culture along the way. #science

Found a bunch of old report cards and everything is a 50/50 split between "pleasure to have in class" and "behavior disrupts learning" so I've always been an acquired taste.

Sociopaths quickly learn to mimic social behavior so as not to stand out. — Unless their low IQ gets in the way of that learning.
