in relativity, spacetime is actually one thing. saying “space and time” is missing the point. though of course until we get a ToE unclear if that model is physically true—but it sure seems like a hint to me
loud sounds are air smashing your ears [edit: unambiguously well established]
“I didn’t hear that” when people’s low level processing fails to parse words someone said despite being perfectly able to receive the audio. not usually playing fool, in my experience [edit: first-hand empirical]

That’s why I appreciate a “hey” or some other initial phrase before someone starts speaking to me. It gets me ready to parse words. For some people I talk to if I start speaking without that, I’ll mostly get a “what did you say?”.
The weight bit interests me. Is this where weights on a graph come from as well? Is that coincidence? I had assumed that they were called weights within the metaphor of a neural network as a graph.
hmm actually, I think I was the one who was wrong on that one. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synaptic_weight seems to indicate the process I remembered existing doesn’t primarily work how I thought it did.
these might all be relatively obvious but here are some I’ve found nice to notice
brain waves are actual waves of activation that pass through the brain edit: whoops, only partly true. spike trains are only one of the types of neural oscillation referred to by “brain waves”
our neurons have actual literal weights, having more weight means having more stuff, physically. AI “weights” are named after thatedit: this was misremembered, turns out the name origin is probably unrelated—it’s only one of quite a number of connection gating mechanisms in the human brain, but dendritic spines do change thicknessin relativity, spacetime is actually one thing. saying “space and time” is missing the point. though of course until we get a ToE unclear if that model is physically true—but it sure seems like a hint to me
