A cool read. I listened to Vangelis while reading and it was very fitting.

Re:GPTZero finds 100 new hallucinations in NeurIPS 2025 accepted papers

51 papers out of 4841 accepted papers is 1%. If these were the only papers, then I would say the review system actually doing pretty well. Considering how noisy the review processes are, I don't see this as a big problem on its own.
We can't stop people (or agents) from submitting low quality papers in the current system. We can improve the review quality, but at a human cost.

It would be terrible to be correponding with someone who implements the Napoleon technique, especially when they are your boss and a major bottleneck.

Foundation models can be seen as approximate amortized posterior inference machines where the posterior is conditioning on the pre-training data. However, the uncertainty is usually ignored, and there may be ways to improve the state of the art if we were better Bayesians.

Re:Neuroscience How Much Energy Does It Take to Think?
on Friday June 06, 2025 @05:55AM (#44199285)
This is a vast simplification. Every neuron has a different preferred baseline firing rate. Not all neurons can fire at 500 Hz. In fact, most neurons in neocortex fire at a much lower firing rate. (most neurons are in the cerebellum!)
As for the internal sense of time, there isn't a consensus as to how it is kept, but for the cognitive time scale, it seems that it is a distributed time keeping mechanism rather than some sort of central unified clock mechanism.
