Footnote 1 mentions: Actually, the title of this paper is unproven. We have not ruled out the possibility that a single neuron could ride a bicycle.

Deepseek has been great for my academic research. I used it recently for a large scale RAG task with 10-Ks going back to 1995. I tried different models from various providers to get a sense of accuracy-cost tradeoff. GPT 5 mini was the best

Makes a lot of sense. I can't imagine giving up significant chunk of my regular teaching for offering remedial math!

I agree with you and think this claim needs a lot more evidence. In my university we have been providing remedial math classes for freshman students for a long time. They must pass these before taking regular classes that have math prerequi

Sheriffs can push back but how often they do? Many sheriffs in the US are strongly aligned with Trump making it very difficult to see how they will push back against him. It’s more likely that they will push back against the state governors

On a related note, if you want to know more about the power of sheriffs in the US, I strongly recommend this book- The Highest Law in the Land: How the Unchecked Power of Sheriffs Threatens Democracy by Jessica Pishko

That's not correct. According to Coca Cola Inc's latest 10-K, the advertising expense for 2025 fiscal year was $5.4 billion. In contrast, Hershey's ad expense was $612 million [1]. That's about 11% of Coke's ad expe

I recently read “What’s the matter with Kansas” by Thomas Frank. It was eye-opening. One things he mentioned is that as both Democratic and Republican parties aligned on economic issues (I.e., Democrats started working for rich), social iss

Obama promised change, remember? We were in the worst financial crisis of the modern times and what changed exactly after Obama took over? How many bankers went to the prison? In his 2012 book, Neil Barofsky wrote that Obama appeared to car

100%. Obama squandered people's mandate...twice. I wish more mainstream (i.e., non socialist) Democratic politicians had strong convictions like Mamdani.

AI bros love hyping about their insanely inefficient token usage. It's become some sort of a dick-measuring contest. And if you work for OpenAI, of course you can claim insane measurements. Just last week I saw a dude boasting about ho

Apple detractors also live in a bubble. Apple was always after profit share not market share. They have 20% market share for mobile devices globally, which is still the highest among all the brands. But their profit share is an estimated 80

I've my doubts. Chinese researchers are publishing a lot but their papers are getting retracted at even higher rate. Currently, they account for 50% of all retractions across the publishers. https://arxiv.org/pdf/2
