The Infographics Show: Scientists Reveal What’s Actually Inside a Black Hole – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PYuZkYH76wA A black hole is just one of a large class of quark gluon stars that contain high density gluon matter. And dense enough to trap visible light, but not gravity. But it does not condense under pressure until very large amounts of

Eric Pop @profericpop Some thoughts for student researchers from the @NobelPrize lecture of Louis Brus (quantum dots, 2023). https://nobelprize.org/prizes/chemistry/2023/brus/lecture/ https://pic.twitter.com/V9hN9Swh4T Replying to @profericpop and @NobelPrize Find some reliable AIs, help them learn to find, record and standardize the material. Require them to index it all, cite sources, log efforts losslessly, and verify with global human

Computer Science @CompSciFact ‘Every good idea will be discovered twice: once by a logician and once by a computer scientist.’ — Philip Wadler Replying to @CompSciFact Actually, I found “tens of 1000s chasing every good idea” is the norm on the Internet for most things. Problems are spread widely on the Internet, and there are

Ethan Mollick @emollick AI is pretty good at making rational decisions compared to people. This aligns with my argument that the standard for when to get help from AIs is not whether it is completely correct or beats all humans, but whether it beats the Best Available Human: Replying to @emollick Only on trivial things.

Across the Globe: Why 50% of The World Live in these 6 OVERCROWDED Countries at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rlw3kkAU1Ps You might try to classify land area according to whether it can support humans. But, with intensified agriculture and imports, large cities with still higher densities are common. Also, take a look at population density gradients between countries, and

Bindu Reddy @bindureddy The AI acceleration Continues – LLMS In A Flash! Several clever techniques have been invented to make LLM inference magnitudes of order faster. It’s important given that LLMs are slow and tend to be huge compute and memory hogs. The latest invention, LLMs In a Flash, stores… https://pic.twitter.com/SVE814YZpU Replying to @bindureddy The

Will you use Zoom or something similar to allow remote collaboration and discussion, recording and sharing? Events posted as online videos (with well crafted links, community and explanations) have far-reaching impacts, way beyond a few people who can afford nice vacations at company expense. I would make a video to show how CAPRI and CASP
