Chickpeas. Garbanzo bean sounds like a thing Jon Arbuckle says

Wait I want to hear more

I am embarrassed for us both that we share this interest.

Make sure there's at least a sauna and ten miles between you

Oh yeah. That is one of the things I loved about being at a linguistics department, it was a real cross section of methodological approaches

It's a fun read! I still have my Handbook of Brain Theory and Neural Networks (mostly for the irony that is one of the largest books I own)

So maybe this is a thing that needs diving into definition of acceptance. Also the fact that the nature of intelligence isn't like conclusively settled in most fields either.

I mean, i'm super out of date at this point but the thing I typically saw as an undergrad was a lot of interdisciplinary dialogue and not necessarily a lot of agreement / alignment on methodological rigor and some sniping on those bases.

mmm, I have a different impression based on an oral history about neural networks called Talking Nets: direct.mit.edu/books/book/4...

There was a lot of biologically inspired modeling but I wouldn't say that all the folks working on neural nets were like well accepted by the neuroscience community.
