<p>TOPIC&gt;</p><p>A Path North<br> * Image Credit &amp; Copyright: Mario Konang</p><p>Explanation: <br>What happens if you keep going north? The direction north on the Earth, the place on your horizon below the northern spin pole of the Earth -- around which other stars appear to slowly swirl, will remain the same. This spin-pole-of-the-north will never move from its fixed location on the sky -- night or day -- and its height will always match your latitude. The further north you go, the higher the north spin pole will appear. Eventually, if you can reach the Earth&#x27;s North Pole, the stars will circle a point directly over your head. Pictured, a four-hour long stack of images shows stars trailing in circles around this north celestial pole. The bright star near the north celestial pole is Polaris, known as the North Star. The bright path was created by the astrophotographer&#x27;s headlamp as he zigzagged up a hill just over a week ago in Lower Saxony, Germany. The astrophotographer can be seen, at times, in shadow. Actually, the Earth has two spin poles -- and much the same would happen if you started below the Earth&#x27;s equator and went south. </p><p><a href="https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap200407.html" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap200407.html"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap200407.ht</span><span class="invisible">ml</span></a></p><p><a href="/tags/space/" rel="tag">#space</a> <a href="/tags/earth/" rel="tag">#earth</a> <a href="/tags/astrophotography/" rel="tag">#astrophotography</a> <a href="/tags/photography/" rel="tag">#photography</a> <a href="/tags/astroart/" rel="tag">#astroart</a> <a href="/tags/art/" rel="tag">#art</a> <a href="/tags/science/" rel="tag">#science</a> <a href="/tags/nature/" rel="tag">#nature</a> <a href="/tags/education/" rel="tag">#education</a></p>

<p>Hello people of mastodon! I’m here, I’m queer 🌈🦄 But I do prefer wine over beer! How about you? I don’t even know what this place is or does so I’m just screaming out into the aether! …or, well… the aether was debunked by scientists in like.. the 1920’s…but isn’t it kind of an expression people use? Or is that another aether?

<p>I&#x27;ve been reading up on the Lottery Ticket Hypothesis, which is super interesting.</p><p>Basically, the observation is that these days we build vast neural networks with billions of parameters, but most of the parameters aren&#x27;t needed. That is, after training, you can just throw away 95% of the network (pruning), and it will still work fine.</p><p>The LTH paper is asking: could we start with a network just 5% of the size, and get comparable results? If so, that would be a huge performance win for Deep Learning.</p><p>What&#x27;s interesting is that you can do this, but only by training the full network (perhaps several times) to see which neurons are needed. They argue that training a neural network isn&#x27;t so much creating a model, as finding a lucky sub-network (a lottery ticket) from the randomly initialized network, a bit like a sculpter &quot;finding&quot; the bust hidden in a block of marble.</p><p>Initial LTH paper: <a href="http://arxiv.org/abs/1803.03635" rel="nofollow"><span class="invisible">http://</span>arxiv.org/abs/1803.03635</a><br>Follow-up with major clarifications: <a href="http://arxiv.org/abs/1905.01067" rel="nofollow"><span class="invisible">http://</span>arxiv.org/abs/1905.01067</a></p><p><a href="/tags/science/" rel="tag">#science</a> <a href="/tags/ai/" rel="tag">#ai</a> <a href="/tags/machinelearning/" rel="tag">#machinelearning</a></p>

<p>This paper investigates how competition to publish first and thereby establish priority impacts the quality of scientific research. We begin by developing a model where scientists decide whether and how long to work on a given project. When deciding how long they should let their projects mature, scientists trade off the marginal benefit of higher quality research against the marginal risk of being preempted. Projects with the highest scientific potential are the most competitive because they induce the most entry. Therefore, the model predicts these projects are also the most rushed and lowest quality.<br></p><a href="https://academic.oup.com/qje/advance-article/doi/10.1093/qje/qjaf010/7997678" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="academic.oup.com/qje/advance-article/doi/10.1093/qje/qjaf010/7997678"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">academic.oup.com/qje/advance-a</span><span class="invisible">rticle/doi/10.1093/qje/qjaf010/7997678</span></a><br><br>It&#x27;s interesting to think about what subjects are perceived to be high value and therefore have rushed and low quality research regularly published about them.

<p>PRESS RELEASE: A research team led by Dr. Sofia Sheikh of the SETI Institute, in collaboration with the Characterizing Atmospheric Technosignatures project and the Penn State Extraterrestrial Intelligence Center, set out to answer a simple question: If an extraterrestrial civilization existed with technology similar to ours, would they be able to detect Earth and evidence of humanity? If so, what signals would they detect, and from how far away? <a href="https://youtu.be/Pdg2x3NP2ds" rel="nofollow"><span class="invisible">https://</span>youtu.be/Pdg2x3NP2ds</a> </p><p><a href="/tags/science/" rel="tag">#science</a> <a href="/tags/space/" rel="tag">#space</a> <a href="/tags/scicomm/" rel="tag">#scicomm</a></p>

<p>The present perspective outlines how epistemically baseless and ethically pernicious paradigms are recycled back into the scientific literature via machine learning (ML) and explores connections between these two dimensions of failure. We hold up the renewed emergence of physiognomic methods, facilitated by ML, as a case study in the harmful repercussions of ML-laundered junk science. A summary and analysis of several such studies is delivered, with attention to the means by which unsound research lends itself to social harms. We explore some of the many factors contributing to poor practice in applied ML. In conclusion, we offer resources for research best practices to developers and practitioners.<br></p>From The reanimation of pseudoscience in machine learning and its ethical repercussions here: <a href="https://www.cell.com/patterns/fulltext/S2666-3899(24)00160-0" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="www.cell.com/patterns/fulltext/S2666-3899(24)00160-0"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">www.cell.com/patterns/fulltext</span><span class="invisible">/S2666-3899(24)00160-0</span></a>.
