"Father says" Dating myself here but I remember when the paper of record had investigative journalists who could verify basic facts as well as most high school journalism interns, instead of hedging the shit out of anything they say that might contradict the ruling regime.

1. A bit of evolutionary biology. I'm really intrigued by a new perspective piece from Steve Frank that explores connections between how natural selection creates systems that generalize and recent work in machine learning about the surprising capabilities of massively overparameterized systems.

the French are having so much fun being anti-American again

French Senator Claude Malhuret: "Washington has become Nero’s court, with an incendiary emperor, submissive courtiers and a jester high on ketamine... We were at war with a dictator, we are now at war with a dictator backed by a traitor."

Taylorism is a management philosophy based on using scientific optimization to maximize labor productivity and economic efficiency. Here's the result of making the false Taylorist assumption that the output of scientific research is scientific papersβ€”the more, faster, and cheaper, the better.

Imagine replacing your own words with some kind high-dimensional average of overwritten fanfic β€” and thinking that's a good thing. "Curiosity piqued"? No shit. Cut. Where did this bullshit about "whispered secrets" come from? Was that the author's intent? Even if so, what a purple way to say it.

No-one has ever been able to replicate Gregor Mendel's observations of pea plants. They're a little "too perfect", lacking even random statistical noise that would have been expected from small sample sizes. The big question: was it scientific fraud? (Art: Harald Ritsch)

You are up to date.
