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

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

Chan Zuckerberg Initiative @ChanZuckerberg Imaging researcher @edithsandstroem + team captured this image in under 12 minutes—the same image generated with the current standard of mass spectrometers would take more than 3 days! https://pic.x.com/wu9fcipfnr Replying to @ChanZuckerberg and @edithsandstroem The electrospray Taylor cone approach for surface tension (surface energy) might well be applied to carbon, boron,

Preschool Lecture on Quantum Mechanics – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jeNobtjRPr0 This is the wrong way to teach quantum technologies, for Bangladesh that has many needs before playing with technologies that require specialized resources only available at high price from other places. You need to start with what you want to do, and then find the best tools and

@Hamptonism Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP) by hand https://pic.x.com/9sji7rd0fv Replying to @Hamptonism I did it that way in high school in 1966, but I had to extend the diagram properties, and the diagrams were also circuit specifications. A thousand hours on a problem, worked out “by hand” instills a kind of brain “muscle memory” and experience that

Deep Prasad (yug-cybera) @Deepneuron I should crack anti-gravity. https://pic.x.com/uuoe4njrnq Replying to @Deepneuron It is not “anti-gravity” it is “a synthetic acceleration field” that you design and apply for real tasks. Not magic, just plain old “gravitational engineering”. No cheating, no magic, no smoke and mirrors and false promises. Just “move it with fields”. And lots
