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”.

100s of millions of heat deaths, 100s of trillions in economic losses, and the frog begins to twitch

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

https://x.com/taejunkim_13/status/1828425787583930607 Taejun Kim, I thought you were asking for approaches to time management and setting priorities. Your question showed up on my time line. 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

Work hard, at a sustainable pace, where you remember as much as possible, and what it means

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

Symplectic, Simplectic takes a lot more work than its “simple” suggests

Richard K Collins All Global Open Devices, All knowledge, All Languages August 27, 2024

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)

Pick hard problems, because problems that last your whole life, you are not continuously starting and stopping

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

Please include links and background with images. Apparently Edith Sandstrom is at Maastricht MultiModal Molecular Imaging Research Institute (M4i) at Maastricht University in the Netherlands. The Alison N Hulme Research Group seems to be in the School of Chemistry at Edinburgh. Edith works on “Historical textile dye analysis using Desorption electrospry ionization mass spectrometry”.
