To be universal, some things need to be independent of the simulation playback rate.

Laboratory for Social Minds @LaboratoryMinds  How does, like, information, flow in conversation? How do, uh, speakers and listeners, like, cope? We use LLMs and CANDOR to measure the information rate of human speech (just 13 bits/second!), and how disfluencies and backchannels help us manage it. https://arxiv.org/abs/2403.08890 Replying to @LaboratoryMinds Then you should be able to

Maritime wars might need AI assisted, whole battlefield and near field, 3D real time imaging, and distributed multispectral arrays.

Anders Puck Nielsen: Why are maritime drones so hard to beat? at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QX68_FZl8UE Thanks for explaining why active electromagnetic radar based systems are so vulnerable. There are many passive, time of flight, correlating imaging array methods now. That is a mouthful, but an emerging set of complementary technologies that might one day give your people

Automating design and fabrication of tools for specific kinds of 3D expression

Thomas Sandladerer: Made with Layers: I bought the cheapest 3D printer on AliExpress! at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ikjOEaPY6Rk I was amazed you got it assembled and working. Getting rid of the screen is a good idea, and they are closer to essential operating steps. If you got some wood or aluminum you could hot glue some rigidity. It

A “ripple” that arrives too late or too soon, can have an impact the exact opposite of what is hoped.

Liset M de la Prida @LMPrida Our latest paper with @acnavasolive & @adrubio1999 is out in @CommsBio A machine learning toolbox for the analysis of ripples across species https://nature.com/articles/s42003-024-05871-w In collaboration w @perpl_lab & @SAbbaspoor we found that AI algorithm trained in 🐁 could be applied to https://pic.twitter.com/MRVTgUOSkN Replying to @LMPrida @acnavasolive and 4 others

Unless “the global” is permanently remembered and applied by each.

Nicoletta I Petridou @petridou_ni Finally ⁦@APSphysics⁩! Join us at invited session G06 tomorrow at 11:30am room L100FG to discuss how cells “learn” to perform functions from the collective properties of the tissue they are embedded in! https://pic.twitter.com/PxRfOE1PdGhttps://pic.twitter.com/PxRfOE1PdG Replying to @petridou_ni and @APSphysics 5 Billion humans with some access to the Internet and APS serves only

Methods and insights implied by rough sketches and symbols

Ricard Solé @ricard_sole How do we model ageing? What can models say about evolution, death and new biomediccal approaches to life extension? That was my last blackboard lectures within my @upfbioeng course on Modelling Complex Diseases, with a final perspective linking evolution and disease. https://pic.twitter.com/U7VAwZXUOW Replying to @ricard_sole and @upfbioeng Do you want to be

Change decades of uncoordinated efforts to global open lossless permanent accessible results

MA Oviedo-Garcia @maoviedogarcia More than 2 million research papers have disappeared from the Internet despite having an active DOI https://nature.com/articles/d41586-024-00616-5 Replying to @maoviedogarcia I think it is much worse than that. Rules, regulations, results, data, events, background for papers. Trace any website, event, topic and it degrades quickly. Look at LLMs using 1 and 2
