You can buy caffeine acetate, weigh it (with a very precise scale) and put it into whatever food you want

I see :( I'm sorry

I think the only h5n1 testing I've read about in amerikkka has been bovine and mandated/conducted by USDA

which is a relief.

For me it's the opposite. Suppose we go rockhounding hoping to find some opals, which we believe are quite rare for the location. We bring some small tools and survey an area of a few square feet near a creek, finding one opal.

On our short hike back to the car, we spot a few mineral enthusiasts downstream of where we were digging with huge mechanical rigs set up to more effectively separate the rocks. They're processing hundreds of thousands of pounds more material every day than our quaint hand tools can manage, so when we ask "did you find any opals" and they say "nope! not a one",

would we conclude it's more likely that a) they're churning through opals all day, but not looking for them or actively ignoring them when they find any or b) the opals are only in our tiny spot upstream ?

has a slab foundation so like i don't fucking know what condition the plumbing is in

where I live, you can pay a plumber a few hundred dollars to snake an endoscope through all the pipes and they can catch some (but not all) serious issues

Abstract

Transformer models such as GPT generate human-like language and are predictive of human brain responses to language. Here, using functional-MRI-measured brain responses to 1,000 diverse sentences, we first show that a GPT-based encoding model can predict the magnitude of the brain response associated with each sentence. We then use the model to identify new sentences that are predicted to drive or suppress responses in the human language network. We show that these model-selected novel sentences indeed strongly drive and suppress the activity of human language areas in new individuals. A systematic analysis of the model-selected sentences reveals that surprisal and well-formedness of linguistic input are key determinants of response strength in the language network. These results establish the ability of neural network models to not only mimic human language but also non-invasively control neural activity in higher-level cortical areas, such as the language network.

 

Is covid-liberalism a bannable offense in c/covid?

I'm getting really fucking weary of seeing sentiments like, "being upset about someone scheduling a non-emergency dental appointment in the middle of the second largest covid wave is deranged" or "you're a selfish asshole for expecting your loved ones to do the bare fucking minimum to protect you" in discussions on masking or vaccine uptake

I know I'm not the only one disappointed in the growing anomie. Maybe we should operate more like c/vegan where everything from omnivore apologia to overt antiveganism (analogous to the above anti-precaution/anti-max/anti-vax-apologia) is forbidden, and posting/commenting as much gets you a ban?

 

“Interstate 11 would decimate habitat for cactus ferruginous pygmy owls, who play a vital role in maintaining the health of the Sonoran Desert,” Russ McSpadden, a Southwest conservation advocate at the Center for Biological Diversity, said in a press statement. “These small but fierce birds nest and raise their young in saguaro cacti and other desert trees that would be bulldozed for the highway’s construction. We’re fully committed to protecting these rare owls and their habitat from destruction.”
