it's jolting how little AI skepticism has reached the general public. i've had many acquaintances ask whether i use AI for research and seem shocked when i tell them it's completely useless for that purpose. my wife recently told her colleagues about hallucinations and it was news to all of them.

I’m a simple man. I see something I don’t understand in quantum computing, I wait for Scott Aaronson’s take on it.

Tesla's stock is ridiculously overvalued, and even a modest consumer boycott could tank the company, which accounts for the majority of Elon Musk's wealth. The divestment movement weakened apartheid South Africa. Let's do that again. slate.com/business/202...

Don’t Buy a Tesla. Sell Your Tesla. Refuse a Tesla at the Rental Counter. Yes—It Will Help.
Elon Musk’s car company is in a precarious spot.

That thing where I spend an inordinate amount of time trying to phrase official emails in a way that comes off as amusingly gruff but not annoying abrasive.

In concept learning ("is a hotdog a sandwich?"), we track how rule-based approaches (“necessary & sufficient conditions”) gave way to a variety of similarity-based methods (e.g., exemplar/prototype), which then culminated in Bayesian frameworks offering the best of both worlds.

I recently talked to someone doing a PhD in multivariate calculus. Or, as they would call it, a grad student

You still have people saying, "I don't see any evidence that Musk is a neo-Nazi." And it's like, I can't know what's in his heart, but he follows them on Twitter, retweets them, promotes their conspiracy theories, parrots their rhetoric, and now recommends their party for Germany. But who knows?

Word of the Day, should you need it, is ‘latibulate’, a 17th-century verb meaning to find a corner somewhere and hide in it.

I’d like it if people would stop using “computational” to mean algorithmic, or worse, compute-intensive. I’d rather reserve computational to mean ‘related to computational problem(s)’

One big problem with induction stoves is that you'll be trying to heat up some soup or whatever but it will keep drawing general principles from specific instances

It feels like I am back in 2020 discussing science and tech with stranger friends that I have never met irl. The best of times.

It’s so nice to be at the stage of a lifetime of a platform when everyone mostly agrees the people running it are working hard and doing a good job. Let’s enjoy that while we can!

sbi - Simulation-based inference @sbi-devs.bsky.social · 27/11/2024
The sbi package is growing into a community project 🌍 To reflect this and the many algorithms, neural nets, and diagnostics that have been added since its initial release, we have written a new software paper 📝 Check it out, and reach out if you want to get involved: arxiv.org/abs/2411.17337

from a side project I'm working on: the shallow water equations are a system of hyperbolic PDEs that describe the movement of water when the depth is much less than the horizontal dimension. you can solve them pretty easily in julia. here's a 1D tub of water being shaken sinusoidally.

What is a paper that has changed your view or direction research? I am searching for inspiring gems. For me, it was the 2013 IBM paper on Computational Creativity. It showed that computers can be used in entirely different ways in Science, which was a complete eye-opener: arxiv.org/abs/1311.1213

If you think Bluesky is cool now, just wait until we start getting sophisticated feeds that curate cool papers, data, or code based on intelligent custom algorithms. This will become a second layer of scholarly communication.
