one of my cis coworkers has her pronouns on her nametag and she's gotten a fair number of patients making weird comments about it while I'm standing right there being transgender so when she got back from break I was like "SOMEONE MADE A WEIRD COMMENT ABOUT MY PRONOUNS" and she was like "FINALLY"

Ok this is something that only I will care about but in the Sound of Music during that berry picking scene they said it was too early for blueberries but strawberries were fine which would make that scene around May WHICH WAS AFTER THE ANSCHLUSS IN MARCH 1938

one of my art history professors once pointed out that donatello was an early renaissance sculptor while michelangelo, da vinci, and raphael were all high renaissance painters, and it would have made a lot more sense for the fourth ninja turtle to be titian. this has always stuck with me

"these researchers published a paper on something that literally any of us could have told you 🙄" ok well my supervisors wont let me write something in my thesis unless I can back it up with a citation so maybe it's a good thing that they're amplifying your voice to the scientific community in a way that prevents people from writing off your experiences as annecdotal evidence
they did the research in the first place because they believed you and wanted to tell people about it. they are not our enemies.

reblog by aphony-cree

people always go "Instead of spending all that time on a study they could have just listened to us when we said these thing happen"

they did listen, that's how studies work, they asked people about their experiences and put all the data together in a nice package that can be cited

Three thousand years ago, a Greek potter looked at a bowl and thought: ‘You know what this needs? A leg!’ Clay bowl with leg-shaped handle!🦵😆 Early Geometric period 850 BC. Altes Museum, Berlin 📷 by me #Archaeology
My photo shows an ancient Greek pottery bowl with a rounded, deep body, wide open mouth and flared rim. It has a large handle shaped like a human leg, extending from the left side of the bowl in my photo, bending at a right angle and ending in a flat foot. The bowl has a camel-coloured surface decorated with dark brown geometric patterns, which include zigzags and meander motifs arranged in horizontal bands around the body of the bowl and along the leg. From Attica, Early Geometric period, circa 850 BC. It sits on a light stone coloured surface in a display case at the Altes Museum in Berlin.

Mark Fisher says weird things are 'hypernatural'. The monster ought not to be here, but it is here, therefore it is not the monster which is wrong, but our model of the world. That's profoundly destabilising. The monster & my old way of thinking cannot co-exist. This is the threat of the neuroweird.

I'm sure you can see that, if there's a gap between expected rates & how many people we diagnose, 'our diagnostic system must be incorrect' is not the only possible conclusion. It could also be that our model's assumptions are wrong. A disparity between expectation & practice is basic science.

"this is not the right way to solve the housing crisis" — people not solving the housing crisis
A person quote-tweets an anti-infill-housing article saying "Sixteen units where ONE house use to be. SIXTEEN."

Below is the "holy shit 2 cakes" meme with a photo of infill row houses photoshopped on top of the cakes. The stick figure says "Holy shit! 16 houses!".

No, it's not searching the internet live - it's predicting the next token based on patterns it learned from training.
That's why it can be impressive at reasoning, coding, writing etc but also confidently hallucinate. It's not super-intelligence, but it's also way more than a search engine.

It’s hard to believe that CDC Director Dr. Erica Schwartz hasn’t had extensive training in research ethics. That means she’s intentionally going to let babies in Guinea-Bissau be infected with Hepatitis B by withholding vaccine when they have vaccine available.

It’s simply unimaginable that CDC Director Dr. Erica Schwartz has just bowed to RFK Jr. and approved funding for an utterly unethical clinical trial that will withhold the birth dose of HepB vaccine in Guinea Bissau. It is to be conducted by researchers accused of academic misconduct.
