Was brushing up on some math from @sirbayes book, ended up writing an instructive tensorflow regression explanation. I always thought tensorflow and pymc documentation to be very pedantic, maybe blogging the coding logic is worthwhile for beginners. axiezai.github.io/thoughts/2022/…

I told Congress they're killing poor kids in Gaza by buying bombs, and they're paying for it by kicking poor kids off Medicaid in the US. This was the authorities' response.

Neuroscientists hearing AI people talk about the brain. (sorry couldn't resist)

Hinton really said "I'm particularly proud of the fact that one of my students fired Sam Altman" ....at his Noble Prize press conference for UofT 😭

Hilarious bit from @adamconover about how crazy our private car-based transportation system is.

Journal pre-proofs for our new paper are now available at Biological Psychiatry: Cognitive Neuroscience and Neuroimaging. @BiolP Congrats to @NEET02625422 on co-first authorship! sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Our lab’s newest publication using Network Control Theory to assess differences in the brain’s dynamic landscape in individuals with heavy alcohol use. Congrats @singletonion and @NEET02625422 !

Yuval Harari just published a piece on Zionism in the @washingtonpost. He argues: "Nothing in this Zionist idea implies that Jews are superior to others, whether they are Greeks or Poles — or Palestinians." @harari_yuval A short🧵.

NYPD Lieutenant Michael Butler, well known for his lead role in countless violent crackdowns on protests, didn’t like being filmed blockading people into their private homes 2 blocks from Columbia. He has 26 misconduct allegations and is named in at least 2 lawsuits.

If you’re outraged by peaceful protests against genocide but not the genocide itself. Then you’re the problem.

I feel like I'm losing my mind a little: people understand that "occupying buildings on campus" is, like, one of the most common forms of studen protest for decades and not some devious new ploy devised by professional anarchist plotters, right?

consent being manufactured in real time! @latimes

In the spring of 1985 we padlocked the front doors of Hamilton Hall, renaming it Mandela Hall, and encamped on the steps for three weeks. Columbia divested from South Africa in the fall of 1985.

Excited to share our latest preprint looking at sex differences in the functional network underpinnings of psychotic-like experiences (PLEs) in children! biorxiv.org/content/10.110… 🧵: 1/11

With the eclipse approaching in less than a week, over half of U.S. cities along the eclipse's path are fully booked for the night of April 7th according to data from @airdna

The Brain Imaging Data Structure - a widely adopted standard for organizing and describing neuroimaging data - has been the biggest achievement of my professional career. In this paper you can read about the history of the effort and the lessons we learned along the way.

Not just the headline, this entire New York Times article on the man who just self immolated does mentioned his comments that he can no longer be complicit in genocide. Not once. It does not mention any direct connection between his action and Israel’s genocide in Gaza.
