I've been re-watching Ken Burns's 7 part documentary "The Roosevelts - An Intimate History". It is one of the best things you can watch to educate yourself, question the status quo and renew your hope in humanity.
There have been few people who shaped the world in a way that this family did. Especially Franklin and Eleanor majorly contributed to the standard of life that we have today.
Definitely recommend it.

A human brain runs on ~20 watts every day. And that's not a sedentary estimate. That includes motor signalling, plasticity costs etc.
New LLMs (GPT o3) consume about 1.7kW per task.
If you needed a number, there it is.

Joscha Bach's talks always are an emotional rollercoaster for me. The re-hashing of really old concepts known from different fields (e.g. group formation stuff) presented without credit are one thing, but I fear he has misunderstood some core concepts that he's building upon (e.g. evolution). Also problematic definitions (suffering is a problem of the self) are unfortunately indicative that the silicon valley mindset has seeped into his mind probably more than he'd like.
He has some very interesting bits in there as well, but overall I'd consider the things he talks about rather irrelevant to AI and basic research as a whole.
The mere idea to look at the self or biological entities as if it were a machine is so fundamentally biased, I cannot express it enough.

I was really fighting VLC hard yesterday because the documentary I wanted to watch just wouldn't play sound. So naturally I googled for half an hour about VLC problems with fedora and audio issues before realising that I might have downloaded that documentary without sound by accident...

Immer wieder spannend, was für Gestalten bei Lanz auftauchen. Olaf Köller, wieder Mal die Art von Psychologe, der vermutlich nicht länger als ein halbes Jahr außerhalb der Akademie verbracht hat und glaubt, er kann seinen arbeitsbezogenen Irrglauben auf sein eigentliches Fachgebiet übertragen.
Nein Olaf, wir fordern keine vier Tage Woche weil wir mehr Freizeit wollen. Wir fordern eine Vier-Tage-Woche weil wir heute in einer Woche 130% dessen erledigen, was wir vor 20 Jahren in einer Woche gemacht haben, für weniger Lohn (zumindest in D). Wir wollen das, was wir Mal hatten, zurück. Job Enrichment und Job Enlargement sind die Stichworte (lohnt sich der Abschluss in Sozial- und Arbeitspsychologie doch mal, wer hätte es gedacht!!)
Geht den Kindern in der Schule auch so. Komisch dass alle nach den super "Schulreformen" immer schlechter geworden sind. Bildungsexperten sollten sowas eigentlich auf dem Schirm haben.
Diese Art, nach Medienaufmerksamkeit zu fischen indem man blanken Mist oder Meinung unter dem Deckmäntelchen eines "Prof. Dr." verzapft, ist einfach unterirdisch peinlich, gerade für einen (sog.) Wissenschaftler.
Edith: Link für den Kontext.

Had a great day at TU Eindhoven visiting the workshop by the Paul Meehl Graduate School on equivalence testing. I like how this procedure incorporates Bayesian ideas into a frequentist framework. I think it's one of those things that can help people think more about their inferences. The (hopefully soon to be published) three-sided testing procedure by Isager & Fitzgerald also was a cool new thing that I didn't know and spawned since the time I last used equivalence tests in 2018 or so.
Had a great chat with Paul Riesthuis from KU Leuven, it was cathartic to vent together about criminal psych research quality (it's bad!).
And of course meeting the lovely people I already knew and making new connections was also superb!

"Stanford misinformation expert admits to ChatGPT ‘hallucinations’ in court statement"
The guy teaches trust in technology and misinformation, admits chatgpt-d text verbatim to court. Shit like this gets you fired and fined in business. But he's tenured, what can you do.

I tried installing #Linux on an old #MacBook Pro (dual boot), and...let's say it's hard to even get some distros to boot from USB. The one that worked best was KDENeon, but with that I have a weird problem: if I have an active WiFi connection, I get screen flickers like crazy. Turn it off, it stops. I reproduced this by wiping and reinstalling the OS. This has to be a hardware issue right? On MacOS on the same machine it does not do that, though...
Any ideas? I have tried modulating WiFi freq and channels, didn't work. I also tried reinstalling everything, didn't help either.
My machine is an early 2013 MacBook Pro Retina with intel graphics and an i7 2,7 GHz, 16GB RAM.

In usable security science, email encryption usability has evolved into a meme. The way I know this is just by paper titles. The following are titles of actual scientific papers that have been published.
1999: Why Johnny can't encrypt.
2006: Why Johnny still can't encrypt.
2016: Why Johnny still, still can't encrypt.
2018: Johnny can finally encrypt. But does this make him feel more secure?
I suspect Johnny still doesn't feel secure with his new skill.
