Going to do a thread, using some of my own (incl. older) work, to clear up some of these relevant concepts. Hope it helps builds conceptual hygiene and immunity to hyped claims about “AI” capabilities. 1/🧵
Iris van Rooij 💭@irisvanrooij.bsky.social · 5d agoIn my work, as in theoretical computer science, we distinguish between (exact) algorithms, heuristics (no guarantees), and approximation algorithm (approx. guarantees) Clear distinctions is relevant in many contexts, for instance this one in cognitive science link.springer.com/article/10.1...
My delulu at the moment is that I trust that people will share my art with people who like embroidery, prints & stickers, so I can afford getting my new glasses after two years. <3

Brilliant letter from Stuart Thompson to Jeremy Clarkson about his comments that benefit claimants should write weekly thank you letters to tax payers detailing how they spend their benefits each week.
Ik heb de stelligste indruk dat enkele oudere autisme specialisten een power grab proberen uit te voeren om van die ambetante autisten die voor zichzelf en andere autisten opkomen af te raken. Als katten in een hoek gaan ze tekeer.
I don't know, maar we gaan hoop ik niet iedereen een Erdös getal van 2 geven ?
Quanta Magazine@quantamagazine.org · yesterdayHungarian mathematician Paul Erdős’ conjectures have long fascinated mathematicians — and now, AI companies. OpenAI and Google DeepMind are solving Erdős problems with remarkable speed. But what does this mean for the field of mathematics? www.quantamagazine.org/why-the-lege...

De Spaanse premier Sánchez benadrukte dat de Ceuta-crisis eigenlijk gaat over het inzetten van migranten als politiek drukmiddel tegen Spanje en de EU. En dat andere EU-landen daar óók al eens slachtoffer van werden. Hij verwacht solidariteit van andere EU-lidstaten, in plaats van terechtwijzingen.

There are many actors—state and otherwise—who could stand to benefit from efforts to destabilize Spain and the European Union. It is not clear which—if any—were directly involved in the recent influx of migrants into Ceuta, but it is clear this particular movement wasn’t spontaneous.
Two weeks before the recent influx of tens of thousands of Moroccans onto the territory of Spain—a NATO member—the US House passed a bill asserting for the first time that “Ceuta and Melilla are located in Moroccan territory” and allocating $20 million to Morocco. (www.congress.gov/119/crpt/hrp...)

The court’s action was in response to a petition by an animal rights group concerned about the welfare of the crocodiles. It was not based on concern for the welfare of Palestinian prisoners. (Yes, really.)

Very important thread for everybody who considers themselves an activist. The people whom you're advocating for don't owe you anything. If you think they do, you're doing advocacy the wrong way. Yes, I did get consent before reposting this.

One reason autistic community matters so much is because so many of us have never been in a room where we weren’t the odd one out. The first time that change your nervous system notices before your mind actively does.
For people who recently got their autism diagnosis: a list of things that are also linked to autism. You'll be amazed.

One shot of lenacapavir, a new HIV prevention drug, can protect for 6 months—but aid cuts and uncertain demand mean little of the drug has reached the countries that most need it. Learn more: https://scim.ag/44TIW5G
