New preprint w/ @mcxfrank: bit.ly/3VMdl2u How can we ascribe cognitive abilities to language models? We evaluate them! But evals impose challenges separate from the underlying ability of interest. These "task demands" affect LM performance, esp. for smaller models! 1/8

This is Enheduanna, who lived 4,300 years ago. She is the first named writer in history. So here is the story of humanity's first poet — and how her work influences us even in the 21st century...
Preprint alert! 📢 The appearance of symbolic material culture is often linked to the evolution of complex, 'modern' human minds. In a new article for BBS, I reconsider this link, and argue that modern humans needn't leave any such evidence. A thread. cambridge.org/core/journals/…

I’ve recently been obsessed with vultures and wanted to share a few things I’ve learned along the way! DISCLAIMER: Vultures are macabre creatures. Proceed at your own risk, should you have the morbid-curiosity to do so…🧵
Why is the max speed limit found in mid-sized animals? This is explained by two competing musculoskeletal limits: how fast muscles contract in smaller animals, & how much they shorten during contraction in larger animals. Cheetahs 🐆 hit that sweet spot | doi.org/10.1038/s41467…
