Physical Review Letters @PhysRevLett Stress propagation in active solids induces spontaneous actuation of floppy modes without exciting vibrational modes Letter: https://go.aps.org/4aViIjP Focus: https://go.aps.org/3XdD2K1 https://pic.x.com/ypc3kwl43d Replying to @PhysRevLett Frequencies and directions and timings can be precisely modeled. Whether in solids, liquids, gases or plasmas. I am not sure why you treat it as something unusual. You

Andrew Lampinen @AndrewLampinen Nice analysis, but I’m a little surprised that people are surprised by this. The basic tactics that any decent chess player will find (forks, pins, etc.) are 2+ move combinations; they can be noticed by patterns but you need to look ahead to verify they work in context 1/3 x.com/jenner_erik/st… Erik Jenner

Institute for Advanced Study: Turbulence as Gibbs Statistics of Vortex Sheets – Alexander Migdal https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-VWi6o18wkI In many things, counting, differences, sums and measurement are more fundamental than analytic mathematics. More humans can benefit from engineering and learning how to learn, than teaching them to memorize symbols and act pridefully. Shameful lack of real data, videos,

Julian Stirling @stirling_julian I’m delighted to still be publishing papers almost 2 years after leaving academia to become freelance. This article is more of a “rant with references”, I try to tackle the problem of perverse incentives that prevent open science from flourishing. https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rsta.2023.0215 Replying to @stirling_julian There are fundamental experiments that can examine fundamental

Aggregate Organisms, Naturally evolved intelligence, directed intelligence, Galactic colonization – Richard and CoPilot talk about life and AI evolution. ## Richard Collins I try every day to review random pages on Wikipedia. Today it came up with “Vahlkampfia jugosa”, a species of “excavates” which classifies it in the domain Eukaryota. When I checked the Tree

China needs smarter planners for moon projects. An orbital infrastructure for the Moon would let ANY groups get communication, memory and powerful computing to projects and experiments on the far side. Real planning, collaboration, real infrastructure can help whole generations work efficiently and with much less risk. Every country “doing its own thing” where the

If I had billions of dollars, I would not waste a chunk of it taking a personal trip around the moon. I would put a satellite in orbit as part of a Moon Internet system and put lots of cameras and sensors on board. Then share the data with the roughly 2 Billions kids now.

Sandy Smith, I was dreaming about you. You were in India meeting with thousands of women of all ages. And you were all sewing. More properly, you were all “demonstrating and preserving” “the ancient and eternal arts of fabric and string and thread”. So there was much embroidery, crochet, lace, geometric, permanent, and elaborate constructions
