What’s the evidence behind some environmental toxin being behind the global fertility rate drop? Seems like it must be a pollutant to be honest with it dropping across so many different kind of societies frankly. I’m talking about what has accelerated it the last 10 years, and I

If you're a researcher or engineer releasing open science papers & open models and datasets, I bow to you 🙇🙇🙇 From what I'm hearing, doing so, especially in US big tech, often means fighting your manager and colleagues, going through countless legal meetings, threatening to

There's been a ton of geospatial foundation models announced and released the last year. I'd love to hear if folks are using these "in the wild" and how they might be applying them in their own work?

Never forget

Any theories on what the network architecture or algorithmic approach might be for how Genie 3 works? There’s really no technical details in the blog post other that it’s an autoregressive model of some kind, and that object permanence emerges naturally from the architecture

i've seen a few start-up founders panic at the sight of a well-funded competitor launching into their space. but the counter-intuitive thing is - more competition is good for you! here's why 1) competition validates the market - many other (presumably) smart hard working people

The 'vibe shift' on here is everyone realizing they will still have jobs in 2030.

Interstellar in real life Cosmologist Cosimo Bambi from Fudan University in Shanghai has proposed a project to fly to the nearest black hole. It is planned to use a nano-device with a microchip and a light sail, which will be accelerated by a powerful laser beam from Earth to

This is a good take.

One of the good/bad things to happen in Silicon Valley circa 2015 was that we got a folks coming into the ecosystem who were smart generalists who would otherwise have gone into finance, consulting, PE etc. They came to join later-stage companies, start companies and (of course)

Say hello to DINOv3 🦖🦖🦖 A major release that raises the bar of self-supervised vision foundation models. With stunning high-resolution dense features, it’s a game-changer for vision tasks! We scaled model size and training data, but here's what makes it special 👇

🛰️ Beyond natural images, DINOv3 generalizes beautifully! Our satellite imagery model sets new SOTA on: • Canopy height estimation • Land cover classification • Geospatial benchmarks Same recipe, different domain, pure SSL magic ✨

LindyMan Move the capital to our future lunar colony and require politicians to reside there.

the only things to look for when hiring AI/ML people is - do they have a good sense of how to evaluate if something (model/system) works. can they go really deep into setting up evals, data, cohorts, etc. - do they set up a high throughput experimentation harness - do they keep

Most of the people who think that AI will replace developers are: - Managers who don’t code - Investors and startup founders selling it - People outside tech Developers: "It's helpful."
