Researchers have pinpointed five distinct epochs in the human brain development.

These turning points, at ages 9, 32, 66, and 83 demarcate phases where the brain restructures itself... suggesting that brain development is nonlinear, with each epoch characterized by its own pattern of neural organization. Now to relate the structural changes to functional changes!

Never mind the stunning space photos; look at the people.

Look at everyone in space, and everyone on the ground. Look at how competent and focused they are. Look at the evidence of decades of study and training behind those eyes. Look at how unpretentious and how unpolitical they are. Look at how they’re not grifting, not scheming, not exploiting, not stealing from the common good. Look at how they are focused on doing science and engineering and ops and safety and how they work together to push humanity farther and further than ever before.

Then realize: all these people work for the US government. Yes, Virginia, there are actually competent people working for the government. When people tell you government is incompetent and full of scams, realize that it’s a bald-faced lie. Government, done well, mobilizes immense expertise to improve lives for everyone.

oh wow
so happy for them

We knew, but the proof is nice.

"Apple just proved that AI models cannot do math. Not advanced math. Grade school math. The kind a 10-year-old solves"

The guess-the-next-words machines don’t actually understand anything.
