   The whole point of Kolmogorov complexity is that description lengths under different Turing-complete description languages (such as UTM and lambda calculus) are only different up to a constant that depends on the languages and not on the th

    “When I describe priming studies to audiences, the reaction is often disbelief . . . The idea you should focus on, however, is that disbelief is not an option. The results are not made up, nor are they statistical flukes. You have no choice

    Cats aren't as deeply domesticated as dogs but there's clearly been some breeding effect which you see when you compare a housecat against a true wildcat (felis silvestris). The main thing is that housecats are comfortable around

    There’s a long debate in neuroscience about whether information is encoded in timing of individual spikes or only their rates (where rate coding is a bit more similar to how ANNs work, but still different). It hasn’t been decided by any one

    I don't buy it. The word "heart" is literally cognate to "core". This suggests a very old view that the heart is central.

    It's still impressive---imagine writing 1000 words of English without reusing any function words like "the", "it", "of", "is". And just to show off, the Qianziwen holds a bunch of those words for
