Things shared on Internet now might be seen by billions, so do your best

Zhigang Suo @zhigangsuo In this beginning lecture of thermodynamics, I use a bottle of air to talk about these words. It takes time and discipline to form a habit of using words precisely. x.com/zhigangsuo/sta… Zhigang Suo @zhigangsuo Jun 5, 2023 This chapter uses gas to help students gain intuition of several basic concepts: equilibrium, temperature,

Most things now can be precisely modeled and scheduled, and sold as services

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

Global open resources with global ids for real things – any assemblies are made of traceable parts

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

Noise is more fundamental than too rigid categories and rules

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,

Small experiments with outstanding noise – shared globally for learning and development

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

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
