People just think science is bigger than it is because science has such unreal outcomes for our lives. There just aren't enough scientists, there isn't enough funding, there isn't enough time and there isn't enough resource for our needs. People think their countries fund it much more than they do

also, we don't understand the mechanisms behind many of the drugs we currently prescribe

gemini because i was lazy

2. Major Examples of "Mystery" Blockbusters

Some of the most common medications in the world are prescribed without a complete understanding of their core mechanisms:
• Metformin (Type 2 Diabetes): As one of the most widely prescribed drugs in the world, Metformin has been used safely for over 60 years. Yet, its exact mechanism remains a subject of active scientific debate. While textbooks historically taught that it works primarily by stopping glucose production in the liver, modern research suggests a massive portion of its efficacy actually comes from a "sugar sink" effect inside the gut.
• Antidepressants (SSRIs): Medications like Prozac or Zoloft were proven effective in clinical trials decades ago. However, the foundational "monoamine hypothesis"—the idea that they work simply by correcting a chemical imbalance of serotonin in the brain—is now recognized as an oversimplification. SSRIs alter serotonin reuptake within hours, but patients don't feel better for weeks, meaning the true therapeutic mechanism likely involves long-term brain plasticity or anti-inflammatory effects that are still being unraveled.
• Acetaminophen (Tylenol): Despite being in nearly every medicine cabinet worldwide for generations, scientists still do not fully agree on how acetaminophen relieves pain and reduces fever. It appears to act on the central nervous system, but its exact molecular targets remain elusive.

Interesting. Not shocking but interesting that even developers that wanted to build couldn't find financing specifically in SF.

Iñárritu kinda hates himself, kinda hates you, hates society, but really hates Republicans, and most of all hates Adam McKay. And while this makes it sound miserable. It's actually funny, eminently watchable, and the reason to see it in theaters is weirdly enough: the foley work

a piece of fanart from the movie digger. a succession of people whispering "control" "the" "narrative" to each other. the last one is digger, whispering it to kenny, who is facing forward with an intent, blank expression. there are many other symbolic elements which will not fit into this description.

dystopia jumpscare in mech interp abstract

As the demand for emotional intelligence in large language models (LLMs) grows, a key challenge lies in understanding the internal mechanisms that give rise to emotional expression and in controlling emotions in generated text. This study addresses three core questions: (1) Do LLMs contain context-agnostic mechanisms shaping emotional expression? (2) What form do these mechanisms take? (3) **Can they be harnessed for universal emotion control?**

I love peaches. I love that peaches are a big part of Georgian culture. But it makes so much more sense that those names all referred to the settlement rather than us just being so obsessed with peaches to the point even us autistic folks are like, "wow, this hyperfixation is severe"

TIL a lot of roads in Atlanta are named "Peachtree" because the Muscogee town here had a name that translates to "Standing Peachtree" This unironically makes it like 75% less annoying to me

funny moment in two dogmas of empiricism

(1961)
Meaning, let us remember, is not to be
identified with naming.1b Frege's example of
'Evening Star' and 'Morning Star' and Russell's of
'Scott' and 'the author of Waverly', illustrate that
terms can name the same thing but differ in
meaning. The distinction between meaning and
naming is no less important at the level of
abstract terms. The terms '9' and 'the number of
the planets' name one and the same abstract entity
but presumably must be regarded as unlike in
meaning; for astronomical observation was
needed, and not mere reflection on meanings, to
determine the sameness of the entity in question.

(for reference since i put it in a different thread, said psych owned the property. i can find reference for her working actively for a different sanitarium that clearly did treat mental health, in livermore, in the 1920s but not at this one. at this time she was apparently consulting with schools)

no, it was her house www.baysider.com/business/Ros...

The original Marshall house at 2740 Telegraph was converted into a hotel in 1979. In 1984 the hotel was expanded by the acquisition of the second Marshall house. This mansion was owned by Dr. Jewel Fay from 1920 to 1984 and is locally known as the "Fay House".

to me that suggests she was in private practice unrelated to the "sanitarium" and that the Shugerman miiiiight in fact have seen "sanitarium" and just hit send (but i have no idea, she's a journalist who... did not go to journalism school, actually, but I assume she knows what she's doing)
