W bosons seemed too heavy, JWST exceeded every expectation, and for the first time, we got a look at the black hole at the center of our galaxy. Look back at the physics breakthroughs of 2022: quantamagazine.org/the-biggest-di…

#AdventOfCode is over for me, but I'm already looking forward to the next year. Was a great way how to refresh my, somewhat rusty, programming skills. 👨‍💻

The implementation of Microsoft's biomedical text-generation model is going viral on Github. BioGPT is trained on biomedical literature and achieved human parity. It is now the leader on the PubMedQA benchmark (81%). 🔗You can get code/models/weights: github.com/microsoft/BioG…

Even more interesting than the absolute scores, which are amazing nonetheless, is the rate of progress compared to previous version. Given it took only like 6 months to release v4, singularity might actually happen during our lifetime. That’s the 🤯 for me here.

When someone complains about the younger generation, they’re rather shooting themselves in a foot. If the complaint was true, then the cause would be the older generation itself and their poor upbringing/education/coaching/etc leading to the supposed laziness of the younger gen.

Late last year, an algorithm developed by DeepMind beat a half-century old record in efficient matrix multiplication. Days later, mathematicians built on it to push even further. See how AI tech can help discover algorithms in our newest video youtu.be/fDAPJ7rvcUw

Our latest work in nature today: #AlphaDev discovered a new faster sorting algorithm that we open sourced to the main C++ library for all developers to use. This is just the beginning of AI being used to find many more efficiencies in code in future dpmd.ai/alphadev-tw

Word is out: Microsoft is plunging ahead on nuclear energy. They want a fleet of reactors powering new data centers. And now they're hiring people from the traditional nuclear industry to get it done. Why? Lack of stable long-term power, whether clean or dirty, is constraining

This season of #AdventOfCode, I'm trying "pair-programming" with GitHub Copilot and it's amazing so far. For all helper methods, it generates correct implementation based on the signature. And sometimes it even anticipates which helper I need and writes it entirely for me.

Project Lyra explores the possibility of sending a spacecraft to chase 'Oumuamua using an Earth gravity assist to reach Jupiter, which robs the craft of almost all its speed, causing it to drop to the Sun for an Oberth maneuver. Thanks Adam Hibberd for the trajectory data!

We live in a time increasingly resembling the second half of the 1930s. I couldn't live with myself with the knowledge I didn't do more to stop another Hitler. In light of the Republican wavering and in memory of Navalny I will give $100 towards FPV drones for Ukr for every RT.

Does astrology work? We tested the ability of 152 astrologers to see if they could demonstrate genuine astrological skill. Here is how the study was designed and what we found (including a result that really surprised me): 🧵
