1963 and 1964 were important years for me. I was taking my first chemistry class from a rocket scientist in high school, learning all mathematics and science as fast as I could. My Dad was working at Cape Canaveral and meeting people like Wernher von Braun. We could see and hear and feel the rocket

We do not need 8.1 Billion ways of writing down the sounds we make and encoding those in symbols. Sounds for words, symbols for sounds, a chaos of spellings and fonts. LLM groups choosing arbitrary local tokenizations and not using a finite set of global open tokens – with the cooperation, involvement, agreement and benefit

Handling ALL human and natural sounds is NOT impossible. I apologize. I turned 75 this year and I have been working every day for the last 26 years on the Internet Foundation. Just when I see how it all works and can be improved substantially, I am getting too tired to change anything. So

Debra, I have not received the DNA invitation yet. I looked at the tree. My immediate reactions are (1) Mexico, not a lot of DNA matches, (2) not a lot of trees filled in deep enough (3) lots of people not knowing their families (4) requires extensive international account research. (5) many people with no

I was simply checking to see how accessible and clear the data and methods, the sources and provenance of the information. If things are broken, or if they are difficult, to impossible, to access. I was checking to see if the pages were accessible to 350 Million blind or restricted vision, 450 Million deaf, millions

Physical Review Letters @PhysRevLett An exact full set of matrix product states of highly degenerate tricritical Lifshitz points in the quantum spin model with anisotropic interactions has been discovered https://go.aps.org/3Q3Pxna https://pic.twitter.com/w22Em2B3EZ Replying to @PhysRevLett It only looks simple because you use simple potentials with no real world inputs. In the real world, every tiny cubic

Eric Brachmann @eric_brachmann Map-relative Pose Regression CVPR2024 highlight) For years absolute pose regression did not work. There was some success by massively synthesising scene-specific data. We train scene-agnostic APR and it works.

Internet Foundation Suggestion: File your future policy suggestions with emerging digital twins on the Internet. If you are working in vacuum processing and worried about pollution of the vacuum in new cities on the Moon or orbit, do NOT stuff your ideas in impossible-to-find folders and documents. Link them now directly to the emerging industries.
