The feature we all have been waiting for, thanks @paperpile.com

Once you get past the first 5 minutes of me bumbling around clearly in need of media training, we settle into a nice groove talking about fitting mechanistic models, ML/AI for neuroscience, underconstrainedness vs. degeneracy, and its potential benefits for biology (plus some good chuckles).

Episode #38 in #TheoreticalNeurosciencePodcast: On extracting spiking network models from experiments - with Richard Gao @rdgao.bsky.social theoreticalneuroscience.no/thn38 How to fit spiking network models to experimental data when there is no unique parameter set giving the best fit.

Feeling validated.

In the year of our Lord 2025... we are still putting on makeup on women without their consent. It's truly like feminism never happened 🙅‍♀️ (I have been ranting about this ever since people started using it to demonstrate GANs back in the 2010s, I can't believe it's still an "acceptable" task in AI!)

What is better than CEBRA? You got it: explainable CEBRA.

I increasingly worry that tech is building the ideal 1984-style propaganda + surveillance machine The risk is the collapse of democracy, as the elite concentrates too much control power, making it counter-powers impossible. Democracy needs counter-powers, including activists.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but your PhD doesn’t need to be perfect. It just needs to be finished.

I have finally become someone I despise: Reviewer 2.

Reviewer: paper is too long Same reviewer: please add 50 more analyses I requested

A daily reminder that it’s ok to be ordinary.
