The number of bros on here parroting each other on stuff they have the most superficial understanding of when it comes to performance and health is really quite astounding—easy to see if you know a thing or two, but really bad for all those well meaning people who don’t.
wow imagine that, no cops or mass arrests or anything. the university of rochester president must not be on the group chat of dumbest university presidents on the planet
The University of Rochester set up their tent encampment yesterday and in less than 48 hours was able to negotiate with the administration a report that will be released on the academic ties to Israeli universities, that will be coupled with a resolution that will be voted on. 👏🏻
Hi @Princeton, who decided that encampments are “inconsistent with the University’s mission”? As a faculty member I find students’ courageous stand against genocide to breathe life into our motto “…in service of humanity.” Unless those were just cute words for the website?
Yet this is the standard predicament of real science. There is always a large scaffolding of background commitments propping up our derivations of predictions from hypotheses. We never escape it. So, where do likelihoods actually come from? (3/5)
All other things aside, unless they’ve moved Columbia since last time I was there, the only thing you’d ordinarily hear during 4’33 are sirens and that one fucking ice cream truck.
‘the protests are robbing my Columbia students of listening to John Cage’s 4’33, the piece of music that is explicitly designed to force you to listen to…what’s around you.’ absolutely perfect
Today I learned how to say "No Parking" in British.
I feel like if it'd have met Hume I could have persuaded him not to be racist.
This also makes me do a double take every time I see it. Would really love to know the story of how this usage came about
I will never get over how AI/ML people use the word “inference”
How are news outlets dedicating wall-to-wall coverage to campus protests, but not the discovery of mass graves in Gaza of people with their hands tied & clothing stripped? Why do we not know more? Where are the journalists and resources being dedicated to that story?
"Disturbing reports continue to emerge about mass graves in Gaza in which Palestinian victims were reportedly stripped naked with their hands tied, prompting renewed concerns about possible war crimes." --A new UN statement news.un.org/en/story/2024/…
I will never get over how AI/ML people use the word “inference”
The tents on our campus are for our adjuncts, not protestors. This ain’t the Ivy League.
I’m horrified by the events at NYU and Columbia. The naked, fluorescent hypocrisy of institutions that have spent the last four years bleating about anti-racism and police reform sending in cops in riot gear to round up students the moment it’s convenient is appalling. 1/
You miss out on something when you avoid the friction. It's the time spent driving yourself nuts wrestling with the 1st draft that makes the final one worth it. Don't avoid the work. Don't take the short cut. The magic is in the messiness.
Omg. @ass_deans nails it on the head 😂
The tents on our campus are for our adjuncts, not protestors. This ain’t the Ivy League.
Wild to me how so many people in tech can see that an artificial general intelligence would have to be one of the most complex entities in existence, but dismiss other humans, general intelligences that exist right now, as boring and barely worth understanding better.
So I did that . I took a semester off attending a community college where I had a wonderful writing professor. Then went to a state school where I went from not caring at all about any academics to loving exercise science. Don't play the status game.
A lot of the angst about p-values has died down, but I have a new proposal for how to make stats reporting better: *Ban point estimates* Point estimates falsely communicate certainty. Instead, report CIs + whatever authors want (p-values, etc). Intervals = uncertainty.
It does feel to me that universities fucking their students over, calling the cops, and kicking them out of housing is anathema to, well, any sort of duty of care.
MIT has always provided core infrastructure for empire... And in many moments, some brave students, staff, and faculty have dared to dream of an Institute re-aligned with people and planet. Pics from the palestine solidarity encampment this afternoon:
The last time this kind of university protest happened in US was against Vietnam War. Americans then started understanding that the “silent majority “ was morally wrong supporting the War. The same will happen again, hopefully.
The massive faculty walkout at Columbia right now in solidarity with the student protesters is incredible. Faculty everywhere should follow suit.
