You would be better to build an accurate map of the Internet

Max Lenormand @MaxLenormand  Meet the man who wants to build a 20cm, 3D map of the world All with lots of small satellites, like a *lot* of them.  We go deep in the engineering weeds, how to map the world so accurately & how to build a company around it Full interview: https://youtu.be/tEhsEYaZiNU https://pic.x.com/ulojnmspmb Replying to @MaxLenormand

Why doesn’t the United States need to train lots of mathematicians? Why don’t Americans memorize a lot of mathematics in school?

Why do Asian kids outperform Western kids in math? | by Malcolm Gladwell at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Wo31YeAI0Q   Why don’t Americans memorize a lot of mathematics in school? by Richard Collins Mostly kids in the United States are not expected to do anything. About one in a thousand who do put in effort is enough to solve

Do not flatter groups who are trying to sell unverifiable systems. Do not promote or trust them

Thomas Wolf @Thom_Wolf  still quite crazy how Anthropic leap-frogged everyone when they released Sonnet 3.5 a few months ago a model completely ahead of its time. we still have zero idea what special tricks they used to train it source: ARC-AGI evaluation of the new openai o1 https://arcprize.org/blog/openai-o1-results-arc-prize https://pic.x.com/y0xpnp6dv0 Replying to @Thom_Wolf Do not flatter

A “standard” not shared completely on the Internet is not a workable tool for global collaboration

Freya Blekman @freyablekman #CMSPaper 1338 describes a precision measurement of the production rate of the quantum carriers of the weak force, the Z and W bosons. These measurements allow comparison and improvement of detailed understanding of the strong force in the standard model https://buff.ly/3ZaS4kI https://pic.x.com/593sfmughe Replying to @freyablekman A “standard” not shared completely on the

Tokenizing and compressing, so humans and computers can solve large problems with finite memory – where it matters

Yi Ma @YiMaTweets Learning is all about maximizing information. We compress to learn and we learn to compress. Replying to @YiMaTweets Filed as Tokenizing and compressing, so humans and computers can solve large problems with finite memory – where it matters Yi Ma, It is not maximizing information so much as maximizing the chance that

Many positions are exploitative, but positions can be nurturing, caring, supportive – when everyone encourages it

Katie Langin @k_langin “Postdoc positions can be exploitative.” My latest story—about a study showing that international postdocs in the U.S. are paid less and received less careeer support and guidance than U.S. citizens. #AcademicChatter #postdocs @ScienceCareers https://science.org/content/article/international-postdocs-u-s-are-short-changed-more-ways-one Replying to @k_langin and @ScienceCareers Filed as: Many positions are exploitative, but positions can be nurturing, caring, supportive –

Lots of demo technologies, lots of expensive services, not much wisdom (sustainable methods) for all

Chan Zuckerberg Initiative @ChanZuckerberg Imagine seeing a heartbeat at the cellular level. Steven Niederer is leveraging MRI, biophysics & AI to visualize muscle cell orientation in beating hearts. A new tool for understanding heart function! https://pic.x.com/kesrszoqxp Replying to @ChanZuckerberg Filed as: Lots of demo technologies, lots of expensive services, not much wisdom (sustainable methods) for

Measuring real relativistic effects precisely enough to make trans-light and trans-gravity drives

https://www.facebook.com/reel/7914650188594511 What happens when you turn on your headlights at the speed of light? You are looking at the wrong end. Start by looking at “What is happening in the matter and fields linked to an object that begins moving?”. Then carefully examine everything as something moves. 1 meter per second is fine. But you

Mind merging, The First Summer, 3D signals, Joe Weber and detection of dynamic gravitational waves

https://www.facebook.com/reel/2748382498665194 You should read my book, The First Summer, at https://www.amazon.com/First-Summer-Danas-Story/dp/B09RLY9CBK The second and third books are about true machine intelligence – where mind to mind communication is facilitated, recorded, combined and shared. Most all the technologies already exist to increase machine-human communication bandwidth many powers of 1000. Immersive experiences using machines is possible now.

“Invisible” is click bait, detectors are data and technology, Dark matter can be made in many practical ways

Astro4Space: Do you think dark matter stars exist? at https://www.facebook.com/reel/1488109911808688 Do not say, “invisible”. You must say “not detectable to {a list of detectors}” and carefully note the conditions and details. “Invisible” is “click bait”. Detectors are science, technology and useful knowledge. If you post the data behind the images, and give all the specific,
