@knrd_z true, I had experience only in analytical chemistry and machine learning labs both of which are probably not struggling as badly as other fields that being said the supply of people wanting to be an ML phd is *immense* despite the high demand

· ↳ reply to @homsiT
@homsiT @__________ur0 @atroyn its not that deep or well thought out. i basically buy the notion that the mind is a complex system, stacks of heuristics that build on top of one another. like a giant bureaucracy. as complex systems grow older they tend to become ossified and overspecialized

· ↳ reply to @tszzl
@homsiT @__________ur0 @atroyn simple empirical ex is that kids who grow up with ipads will always have a more intuitive feel for it than even healthy adults who are plenty capable of learning. they are well adapted for their world because lower layers of their mind are built with ipads in observation
5 ♥ · x.com →
· ↳ reply to @tszzl
@homsiT @__________ur0 @atroyn granted children have more "substrate" to work with in that the brain has a lot of synaptic pruning to do at that age. maybe you can arbitrarily keep synthetically adding brain matter w cyborgism but doesn't change the fact that the bottom of your heuristic stack will not change
4 ♥ · x.com →
· ↳ reply to @tszzl
@homsiT @__________ur0 @atroyn moreover it *cannot* change without killing you in some ways. like if you forgot how your mother looks that's something like dying as people grow older fewer memories will stay sticky by necessity -- the surprise factor goes down

@notlinear1 everybody in upper middle class US is kind of on the same playing field these days. the only thing stopping them from being great is their own lack of agency / good ideas / grit but yea far more amenable to working class complaints obviously

@kloisnitcholes personally i say "eee van gell iun" out loud like a coward. if i was brave i would say "eh vahn gel iun" with the same inflection as the VAs
