Innovation goes faster where you do not put too strict bounds, and work with all knowledge.

Ash Jogalekar @curiouswavefn The paradox of technological innovation – great practical technology develops when people don’t explicitly focus on developing great practical technology. https://pic.twitter.com/9R0vdMIkDS Replying to @curiouswavefn You have it slightly wrong. Innovation goes faster where you do not put too strict bounds on what it will cost, who will use it and how it

Most AI groups are too new to know they should share their statistical data too

Machine Learning in Chemistry @ML_Chem Constructing custom thermodynamics using deep learning #machinelearning #compchem https://nature.com/articles/s43588-023-00581-5… Replying to @ML_Chem Machine learning and GPT are all about data preparation, basic statistics, probabilities, regressions, correlations and expected values. They just relabeled it “AI” to make it look cute and new. And the AI groups are too new to know

Every day gravity is Newtonian, and gets more interesting at higher sampling rates

https://twitter.com/RichardKCollin2/status/1741046739237228715 Sensitive three axis gravimeters show that vector sun moon tidal signals are nearly perfectly Newtonian, only requiring three linear regressions (6 numbers) to lock a station to the sun and moon for position and orientation sensing. Many types now.   https://twitter.com/RichardKCollin2/status/1693165581329985565   This is one month for the vertical component of the vectors signal.

We can now compile and use the web to do these things: better, much lower cost and faster.

The Science World @scienceworld224 Jupiter and its volcanic moon Io as captured by New Horizons Spacecraft https://pic.twitter.com/eR2CgKrKD2 Replying to @scienceworld224 Thank you for pointing out New Horizons Spacecraft. Reading Wikipedia about it, very satisfying. Vast background knowledge, much on the web, is not connected. GPTs could index “NASA” losslessly. If one wants to do it

AIs telling humans what to do, not doing it for them

Kirk Borne @KirkDBorne Free 234-page PDF eBook >> Introducing the #Mathematics of Machine Learning: http://bit.ly/3Fe3vMC by @smolix  #BigData #DataScience #AI #Algorithms #MachineLearning #DataScientists #DataLiteracy #Statistics #Optimization #LinearAlgebra https://pic.twitter.com/MDnTB6gy5h Replying to @KirkDBorne and @smolix The need on the Internet, is NOT for paper (PDF is paper) that requires human eyes and brains to transcribe, but AI-compatible

There is not yet a place to share quantum noise

Pedram Roushan @PedramRoushan Noise destroys long-range correlations on quantum processors and hinders the coherent evolution in the nominally available computational space. Using Random Circuit Sampling we estimate the effective available Hilbert space @GoogleQuantumAI https://arxiv.org/abs/2304.11119 https://pic.twitter.com/TO3yq0IFEn Replying to @PedramRoushan and @GoogleQuantumAI If you record the noise with lossless methods, and high precision, it is likely going
