Automating design and fabrication of tools for specific kinds of 3D expression

Thomas Sandladerer: Made with Layers: I bought the cheapest 3D printer on AliExpress! at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ikjOEaPY6Rk I was amazed you got it assembled and working. Getting rid of the screen is a good idea, and they are closer to essential operating steps. If you got some wood or aluminum you could hot glue some rigidity. It

A “ripple” that arrives too late or too soon, can have an impact the exact opposite of what is hoped.

Liset M de la Prida @LMPrida Our latest paper with @acnavasolive & @adrubio1999 is out in @CommsBio A machine learning toolbox for the analysis of ripples across species https://nature.com/articles/s42003-024-05871-w In collaboration w @perpl_lab & @SAbbaspoor we found that AI algorithm trained in 🐁 could be applied to https://pic.twitter.com/MRVTgUOSkN Replying to @LMPrida @acnavasolive and 4 others

Unless “the global” is permanently remembered and applied by each.

Nicoletta I Petridou @petridou_ni Finally ⁦@APSphysics⁩! Join us at invited session G06 tomorrow at 11:30am room L100FG to discuss how cells “learn” to perform functions from the collective properties of the tissue they are embedded in! https://pic.twitter.com/PxRfOE1PdGhttps://pic.twitter.com/PxRfOE1PdG Replying to @petridou_ni and @APSphysics 5 Billion humans with some access to the Internet and APS serves only

Methods and insights implied by rough sketches and symbols

Ricard Solé @ricard_sole How do we model ageing? What can models say about evolution, death and new biomediccal approaches to life extension? That was my last blackboard lectures within my @upfbioeng course on Modelling Complex Diseases, with a final perspective linking evolution and disease. https://pic.twitter.com/U7VAwZXUOW Replying to @ricard_sole and @upfbioeng Do you want to be

Change decades of uncoordinated efforts to global open lossless permanent accessible results

MA Oviedo-Garcia @maoviedogarcia More than 2 million research papers have disappeared from the Internet despite having an active DOI https://nature.com/articles/d41586-024-00616-5 Replying to @maoviedogarcia I think it is much worse than that. Rules, regulations, results, data, events, background for papers. Trace any website, event, topic and it degrades quickly. Look at LLMs using 1 and 2

Comments on Vivek Gupta’s dissertation

https://vgupta123.github.io/ Inference and Reasoning for Semi-Structured Tables by Vivek Gupta at https://vgupta123.github.io/docs/phd_thesis.pdf @keviv9 Vivek, reading your dissertation, it is not necessary to have uniformly labeled data, uniformly tokenized and structured global knowledge. Free form data can be semi-structured, if exact copies are kept of the raw (free, original) data. So many can re-examine and add.
