I agree that it's not great style for just conveying information clearly and plainly (e.g I'd hate to read documentation written like this) but I'd argue that here, the medium is part of the message. It's supposed to sou

Is there no measurable quantity in the current state of a magnetized ball that would predict its behavior in a magnetic field then? I'd be surprised if that were the case: seems like it'd violate some sort of "locality",

Do you think (or care) about the ethics of this sort of behavior? Do you consider it unethical and if you do, under what conditions would you decide to do it anyway?

Yeah, completely unintentional on my part, but I do be dumb sometimes.

Wow, thanks for all the details! Maybe I really have to give spicy water another try...

I frequently visit your website to get design inspiration for my own. Thanks for being so detail-oriented and all your writing in general! Edit: Actually, while I have you here: do you think that the modal popups for links (the ones that po

It's getting real hard to apply Hanlon's razor ("assume ignorance before malice") when it comes to egregious incompetence like this. I wonder if this particular backdoor (front door?) has been used before; perhaps there

I'd say you're right about any given individual channel: the activation of a single voxel doesn't tell us much about all the fancy computation happening in that ~1 mm^3 of tissue. But the pattern of activity of thousands of v

Caveat: brain-computer interfaces are not quite my field, but I think the consensus is (judging from some conversations with folks who know more): Neuralink is doing interesting BCI research, with decent hardware, but it's not real

Yeah, there's a ton of criticism of fMRI as a method, largely because of a lot of results that are statistically unsound (to say the least)! I tend to think of fMRI data as some highly nonlinear transform of whatever neural activity is

If folks are interested, I recently published a paper [1] demonstrating that fMRI activity in the visual cortex is remarkably high-dimensional! Specifically, using a linear approach (like PCA, but slightly fancier), we find that stimulus-re

Perhaps I'm being paranoid and should assume ignorance rather them malice, but I can't help but wonder if there was significant lobbying from companies providing healthcare software to make these repos closed-source. I know nothin
