Have you seen the neural net series by Statquest? https://youtu.be/HGwBXDKFk9I?si=GxYKy1s996e6Q8-G It builds a simple CNN and ends with a simple example of how multiple ReLU activation functions can approximate arbitrary cu

While I appreciate your point, I think anyone who has spent sufficient time troubleshooting complex systems has dealt with similar types of problems, and can grasp the _spirit_ of the story. In fact, I'd argue the quaint style of the s

It's a meta-analysis, which means they evaluated 92 papers in the literature.

Is there a graphical explanation of the perceptual phenomenon the author is describing? I think I understand the physical stimulus he describes, based on diagrams in papers, but I havent found anything explaining this part: > So translat

Completely agree. Another issue plaguing some animal based neuroscience research is shoddy sample size. Understandable, given that some of the experiments are so damn challenging, but in the long run this does no favors to reproducibility.

I mostly agree. I started listening from the beginning and loved the deep leanring/CS/physicist/neuroscientist/philosopher guests. I think he began running out of those people or just wanted to expand. Some of the new fo

To be fair, what they mean is the way marketers and advertisers use "AI". Which is often without regard for any specifics.

I agree. I think it's imperative, but will come piecemeal...one industry at a time, and always too late.

Alexey Guzey first came across my radar when his blog post on the institutions of Life Science[0] was posted here on HN. I was a neuroscience postdoc at the time. I found it partly true, with some experiences different from my own. Then or

I agree that overall the word choice is poor/ambiguous. But I think grammatically "undetectable" modifies "sound" here, which is true if the physical stimulus is not detectable as sound, but tactile.

This might be true for you , and hopefully for me, but for the average person I'd bet more money on them just doubling down on <source of confirmation bias> than becoming more skeptical.

And it's not just rats. Anything with multiple senses, a circadian rhythm, developmental variables, individual genetic differences can be subject to this variability. These are all factors that people should be taking into account, and

Not the first time factors like this have been reported [0], and hopefully not the last. I knew a rodent behavior professor in grad school who happened to only have women in his lab. No reports of being a creep, lots of reports of him being

The Precision-Recall plot on page 17 caught my eye (Extended Data Fig. 3a). Specifically the grey area. "...grey shading indicates the valid range between perfect performance and a random classifier." What's with the diagonal

How are the predictions validated? Waiting for the old fashioned way for... very difficult crystal structure experiments? Or something else?

Thank you! I've looked around for macroeconomic simulations before and found very little. Looking forward to learning from this.

The point of the hook statement "You are not a visual learner" in the Veritasium video is not to "disprove the myth that you're a visual learner." The point is that there's little evidence behind different peop
