@cconstan.bsky.socialAfter last year's collapse of NIH funding rates I thought things couldn't get any worse. Shifting to multi-year awards could mean that fewer funds would be needed to pay already active grants in 2026. I was wrong.

@initself.bsky.socialReposted by @cconstan.bsky.socialAre brains and artificial neural networks converging onto universal representations? There is a seductive idea making the rounds in NeuroAI / machine learning: train systems well enough, and they all converge on the same representation of reality (i.e. a unique world model).

@cconstan.bsky.socialThe report reads like the screenplay of a disaster movie. But it was all too real. I hope the best for the patients' recovery.
@cconstan.bsky.socialThey were transported to the ICU where the staff there tried to figure out how to deal with an unprecedented emergency.
@cconstan.bsky.socialThree more surgeries went on before patients in recovery starting reporting lower limb paralysis.
