Most neural nets are still based on the model of a neuron as proposed in the 1950's: u = activation(wยทx + b) In a new paper, researchers propose a more accurate model of a biological brain neuron and found that it has quite a few advantages, like needing less training data.
"The malleable OS". That is a reason for me to return to Linux. This is super exciting: an LLM that sits in the middle of the OS and fixes and tunes or completely changes it the way you want it.
Fair warning: Omarchy is leaning fully into the future and the age of agents. This is how we truly democratize Linux, bring the malleable OS to all, and capture as much of this newfound intelligence as possible. If that's not your jam, there's a lot of anti-AI distro options โ๏ธ
So yeah, use Codex for coding, not Gemini. But where
@GeminiAppis so much better than anything else I tried out: music recommendations. You just mention some bands, you discuss what makes these bands/songs amazing for you and it comes up with bands and songs that are spot on!
Love this
A BBC interviewer asked a Nobel physicist the simplest question in the world: why do two magnets push each other apart. He refused to answer it. What he did instead is the best seven minutes on thinking ever filmed. The man is Richard Feynman, at home in 1983, no blackboard, no

![Schematic neuron models. Left: standard neuron model in ANNs, following a simplistic abstraction from the neuroscience of the 1950s [1, 2] that assumed linear dendrites and an output nonlinearity. Right: proposed neuron model, based on a recent model of cortical cells [22]; notice how this new model extends the standard neuron model by considering internal nonlinearities ฯ (that represent dendritic processes), and these nonlinearities are affected in a dynamic way by the activity value zi (that represents the bAP going from the soma to the dendrites), itself depending on the inputs xj and the contributions zk from other neurons.](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/HJtlbTIWgAYoodY?format=webp&name=medium)
