Freedom and death go together. A French mountain guide told me 15 years ago that every year they find some people in the glacier crevasses because they go to the glacier alone, don't tell anyone, fall into a crevasse, and die because there's no signal.

AI in biology must be experimentally verifiable, and that requires wet labs. @astar_gis is hiring pre- and postdocs with proven AI knowledge to build foundation models for RNA therapeutics: mRNA vaccines/drugs, gene editing, ribozymes and in vivo CAR-T. Singapore-based. DM me and please repost.

Has Mark Zuckerberg finally lost it? It started with metaverse obsession that was going on for a couple of years and a couple of billions of dollars. Then came mass hiring, followed by the first out of many mass layoffs. Than he brought Scale.ai guy to lead AI in Meta.

I'm becoming increasingly convinced that the only thing that matters for energy independence is material science and biotech. Any county that is serious about energy independence should invest into these sectors heavily.

Over which important details am I glossing over when I say that the tension between people who don't want to fight inequality (*) and the people who do is mostly about exploit vs. explore and short-term vs. long-term rewards?

Are there any works that explore curriculum learning in an unsupervised setting? Does the notion of Y is easier to learn if you first learn X happen automatically in auto-regressive modelling, or diffusion models or any other generative modelling approach?

I recently read this paper: alexiglad.github.io/blog/2025/ebt/ I like the idea: first learn a verifier (a model that tells you the goodness/compatibility of a prediction given some context), and then optimize predictions with respect to this verifier.

Many of society’s problems would be solved if we decided to treat greed as a mental illness. Greed is not good: it’s just easy. There are many other things that “clarify and cut through” and it’s easy to sell that greed “captures the essence of the evolutionary spirit”, but it really doesn’t.

whether out of the desire for revenge or whatever, is like a yearning for self-annihilation. The real "tough choices" in the U.S. apparatus involve breaking the stranglehold of special interest groups and raising taxes. That solves all deficit concerns + also exerts downward pressure on inflation.

This obsession with "getting a good deal"... You know who got a good deal? Winners of WWI, but that wasn't so great deal on a bit longer run. That's why Marshall's plan after WWII was even a better deal. It was crucial in enabling US post-war prosperity.

It's a little strange to assume that Chinese scientists and engineers are only smart if they work for a U.S. company. As if they have no agency unless guided by a brilliant vision that only US founders possess. As if they have to be directed to do anything, in this case, of course, by the CCP.
