My “partners in crime” at the a University of Valencia who were kind enough to enter the debate on medium independence as a necessary condition (?) on physical computation. The discussion group will continue online if anyone out there wants to join. We may not have an answer, but it’ll surely be fun

Sometimes the best projects don’t start in a meeting room—they start with a random hallway conversation. A “random” conversation with Lorenzo Baravalle in Valencia has lead to a new project aiming to formalise ToFI (doi.org/10.1007/s131...), a project from nearly a decade ago. Exciting times ahead!

Be sure not to miss out this online colloquium series on neuroscience, representation and AI. If you have ever thought whether Terminator could one day (soon?) be real, this is the place to ask. Quite a lineup. See you there.

And I would add “and anyone else who still somehow remains unconvinced. You have no intention to release the hostages so long as you risk losing your precious coalition. Let your people go. Sign the deal and Declare re-elections now!”

Strong, determined Mums at the Gaza envelope demanding to bring home our hostages—the living and the dead—and opposing Netanyahu’s Messiah's plan to conquer Gaza (w/o calling it a military occupation). Help us by spreading the word as widely as possible. End the war, and media.bringthemhomenow.net

Here’s another reason why U2 is one of the best rock bands ever. Bono nicely captures the sentiments of most of the Israeli people. We all want our hostages back home 🎗️Hopefully we can also celebrate Israeli elections asap 🎉

It’s about time that the heads of the universities in Israel will explicitly declare their protest and willingness to take immediate action given the criminal acts of our government against democracy. Please support us in whichever way you deem reasonable

You didn’t have the full Berlin experience without joining a protest. Universities face cutbacks, since the Berlin Senate failed to uphold the terms of the higher education pacts and unilaterally implemented cuts amounting to 142 million € – an 8% decrease to the 2025 budget. So we chipped in ;-)
