Andrew Millison: How Farmers Reshaped a Region and Solved Drought at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=79VUAFq2rbg Beautiful planning and vision. I hope you might help Bangladesh and India manage their floods with interconnected plans that look at water management, not borders. All the deserts of the world can be recovered and carefully monitored. But you will have to protect

Niko McCarty @NikoMcCarty The whole notion of “Write, Read, Edit” as some great driver of progress in biology is incredibly misguided. Yes, DNA sequencing and synthesis costs have fallen rapidly. What have we gotten for it? The vast majority of strains we make don’t work, because we don’t understand the https://pic.x.com/zt1nkt9spv Replying to @NikoMcCarty The

Baran Hashemi @Rythian47 How can we teach Transformers to learn and model Enumerative geometry? How deep can AI go in the rabbit hole of understanding complex mathematical concepts? We’ve developed a new approach using Transformers to compute psi-class intersection numbers in algebraic geometry. https://pic.x.com/xkkjgh1bke Replying to @Rythian47 Enumerative geometry is not “all mathematics”. On the

John Lindsey @PGE_John Our son Sean has been stationed with the U.S. Navy in Bahrain in the Persian Gulf. He mentioned that the humid heat there is almost indescribable, with dew points reaching the 90s. In other words, sweat doesn’t evaporate, making it nearly impossible for the body to cool down. x.com/US_Stormwatch/… Colin McCarthy @US_Stormwatch

Probably because of things I write, work on, or follow. I turned 75 this year, and it seems like a time to set priorities and review. We only get a

Taejun Kim @taejunkim_13 Hey HCI community, Is there anyone who set their own limits, like hours you spend in a day when running user studies? (e.g. keeping it under 7-8 hours to avoid burnout) If you got any personal rules that you’ve been following, I wanna know! Replying to @taejunkim_13 I have worked alone every

Frank Nielsen @FrnkNlsn Nice thread Jonathan Gorard @getjonwithit In physics, one often thinks of space and time as being fundamental, pre-existing concepts, and proceeds to define everything else (energy, momentum, forces, etc.) in terms of them. But it doesn’t need to be so – symplectic geometry shows us how to go the other way. (1/16)

You only need to look at the things you have not already mastered. I took a speed reading test one time in high school, and read at something like 50,000 words a minute. It was a book on robotics and I only had to glance at pages to see they did nothing new. I
