🚨ATTN Natural Stories users!🚨
We found a misalignment in the self-paced reading times. Everything is off by one position. In the released dataset, the SPR RTs for the word at index t are actually for index t+1. If you are using the dataset, please use the realigned data.

Once, we ran a study on Prolific and a participant wrote on Reddit that the study “Felt like I was losing the will to live.” I went on the Prolific Subreddit (24k members!) and asked what matters. Here is what they told me. A thread on happier participants and better studies 1/9

Now that the eclipse is within the short range, global ensembles add less value while more high resolution models become available.
I switched my eclipse page to use the High Resolution Ensemble Forecast (HREF), including a cloud layer breakdown:

It was an amazing experience to film our music video at the beautiful historic @est8ofmind Oakhurst Manor back in November. Very sadly, I learned that they suffered a devastating fire there on March 1st. Thankfully and most importantly no one was injured. But they are - (1/2)

Now out in @PNASNews! Large-scale reading evidence that next-word predictability effects in humans are driven by *inference* (logarithmic in predictability) rather than preactivation (linear in predictability). pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.23…

Have you ever done a dense grid search over neural network hyperparameters? Like a *really dense* grid search? It looks like this (!!). Blueish colors correspond to hyperparameters for which training converges, redish colors to hyperparameters for which training diverges.
