A history of metaphorical brain talk in psychiatry

news.ycombinator.com Kendler 2025-10-09 10:21:55

We first turn to Adolf Meyer, the most influential psychiatrist in the US over the first 3rd of the 20th century [27]. It should be recalled that until World War II, American psychiatry was a rather small profession, largely composed of superintendents of mental hospitals who largely had a biologically orientation to their work. In 1907, while the director of the New York Psychiatric Institute, Meyer wrote about his concerns of the narrow views that US physicians would typically take in their ap

How to Give a Good Talk

news.ycombinator.com Michael Greenberg On Mar 2025-10-12 21:42:08

How to Give a Good Talk In computer science, conferences are a focal point of academic attention. Conferences are a moment where computing communities—distributed over the globe—come together. Giving a talk at a conference is an incredible opportunity: for a moment, you have the community’s attention. If you can give a good talk, the community will pay more attention to your work! But what makes a good talk? I spoke at PLMW 2025 on this topic—“How to give a good talk”. You can read an edited t

Tesla offers a $350 retrofit turn signal stalk after removing it from the Model 3

engadget.com Unknown 2025-11-11 14:30:34

Leave it to Tesla to charge its customers for a feature it purposely left out. The company is now selling an almost $350 retrofit turn signal stalk for its Model 3 cars after removing from the initial model. Instead, it used buttons to activate the turn signal. As of now, the add-on is only available in the Chinese market. But, Model 3 drivers will need to shell out another 2,499 yuan ($348) to get a normal part of almost every car. However, there's a slight catch: The turn signal stalk is only

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR Samsung is reportedly looking to expand its AI offerings. The company is said to be in talks with multiple vendors, including OpenAI and Perplexity. The aim is to give Galaxy S26 users more choice over what AI model they use. Samsung has long been partnering with Google to bring Gemini to its Galaxy phones. While this partnership has served Samsung well, a new report suggests the company doesn’t want to be tied to only one outside AI model. The firm is s

technologyreview.com Rhiannon Williams 2026-01-04 05:10:00

Geothermal startup Quaise certainly has an unconventional approach when it comes to destroying rocks: it uses a new form of drilling technology to melt holes through them. The company hopes it’s the key to unlocking geothermal energy and making it feasible anywhere. Quaise’s technology could theoretically be used to tap into the Earth’s heat from anywhere on the globe. But some experts caution that reinventing drilling won’t be as simple, or as fast, as Quaise’s leadership hopes. Read the ful

Would you like Siri more if it had a face? Ever since Elon Musk added a weird anime girlfriend to Grok, I’ve been wondering if there’s a not-so-distant future where all of our AI assistants are much more clearly personified. Grok makes it feel deeply uncomfortable, but I’m not so sure it has to be that way: we’re basically just talking about Cortana. This week on The Vergecast, we’re talking all about AI, how powerful it can be in the home, and the uncomfortable feelings were getting talking to

Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl is coming to PS5 later this year

Given its buggy launch on PC and Xbox, the wait may be a good thing. Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl is coming to PS5. On Wednesday, developer GSC Game World said the shooter will launch on Sony's console later this year. To say Stalker 2 had a long development process would be an understatement. We're talking 14 years here. After navigating funding issues, the studio nearly being shut down and a transition to Unreal Engine 5, it was delayed again and again... and again.
