Neighbor: “You know, your house number is really hard to read.”
Me: “I know.”
Neighbor: “But then people can’t find it easily.”
Me: “Right. It’s hiding.”
Neighbor: “But people can just use Google Maps. It’s not hard.”
Me: “Ghosts can’t use Google Maps.”
Neighbor: “…What?”
Ne: “They can’t”

NiceWebRL: a Python library for human subject experiments with reinforcement learning environments
We present NiceWebRL, a research tool that enables researchers to use machine reinforcement learning (RL) environments for online human subject experiments. NiceWebRL is a Python library that allows any Jax-based environment to be transformed into an online interface, supporting both single-agent and multi-agent environments. As such, NiceWebRL enables AI researchers to compare their algorithms to human performance, cognitive scientists to test ML algorithms as theories for human cognition, and…

Ich hab nu' auch mal Nosferatu gesehen, hab ja ein Herz für Vampirkram, aber hab mich den ganzen Film durch immer wieder a) gelangweilt und b) gefragt: Warum dieses Remake?
Ich liebe The Witch und The Lighthouse, fand The Northman allerdings auch schon mehr Bild&Pathos als gut. Bei Nosferatu überrascht mich Eggers eigentlich nur damit, dass der Film nicht The Nosferatu heißt. Irgendein überraschendes Element, das die Vorgänger variiert und nicht einfach so samesame daherkommt,…

Graphs With the Same Edge Count in Each Neighborhood
In a recent paper, Caro, Lauri, Mifsud, Yuster, and Zarb ask which parameters $r$ and $c$ admit the existence of an $r$-regular graph such that the neighborhood of each vertex induces exactly $c$ edges. They show that every $r$ with $c$ satisfying $0\leq c\leq {r\choose 2}-5r^{3/2}$ is achievable, but no $r$ with $c$ satisfying ${r\choose 2}-\lfloor\frac{r}{3}\rfloor\leq c\leq {r\choose 2}-1$ is. We strengthen the bound in their nonexistence result from ${r\choose 2}-\lfloor\frac{r}{3}\rfloor$ …
