TBH, I am partially disappointed by Apple's latest headset. I was expecting something groundbreaking, which turns out to be a blend of Quest and Hololens. Wish they had put more effort into the design at least. Hope hands-on might do some magic #AppleVisionPro #WWDC23 #AppleEvent

Also AC is so rare in the UK this is how shops are advertising

“A common challenge for people who are curious and love to learn is that we can fall into the habit of continuously force-feeding ourselves more and more information, but never actually take the next step and apply it”

I was watching Lord of the Rings last night and realized there are many parallels with academia! A thread 🧵👇

In Singapore, virtual taekwondo competitions broke barriers, allowing women to face off against men 🥋👩👨.

Most successful people I've met aren't that smart. They move fast, they take risk, they work a lot. That's it.

#OpenAI announced GOT-4o, latest multimodal model designed to handle text, audio, and visual inputs, making it more versatile and powerful than its predecessors. It is designed to respond in real-time, with response times as quick as 232 milliseconds. #gpt4o #chagpt

These are indeed interesting developments but scary as well. The practical realisation of these tools although not very far, would be halted for some time owing to Data privacy and ethical concerns.

Hi Sam Altman, OpenAI, I am surprised that we don't have a folder feature in the left panel of ChatGPT. For someone like me who loves organising his stuff, it's quite annoying to deal with cluttered chat sessions. Also, would be great to add a search box at the top. #chatGPT #openAI

A prime example of single point of failure.

There are known knowns. These are things we know that we know. There are known unknowns. That is to say, there are things that we know we don't know. But there are also unknown unknowns. There are things we don't know we don't know. -Donald Rumsfeld

The job of physics is not to invent things we cannot see to explain things we can see, but to figure out how to see what we cannot see— to see what was previously invisible, the known unknowns. Lawrence M. Krauss

Introducing Willow, our new state-of-the-art quantum computing chip with a breakthrough that can reduce errors exponentially as we scale up using more qubits, cracking a 30-year challenge in the field. In benchmark tests, Willow solved a standard computation in <5 mins that would

This, along with two other questions — the origin of life and the origin of belief systems — always fascinates me, and the more I read about them, the more I become pleasantly and intellectually confused.

New use case for the next research paper unlocked: A Novel Intelligent, and Distributed In-Network Compute-Oriented Internet Routing Protocol for Stranger Things 😂 #StrangerThings5

Agreed. Here's the advice I give my son (who is 14): Some of the most valuable skills are systems thinking, functional decomposition (being able to tackle large problems by breaking them down) and building instinct for how to abstract away complexity for others. This is not
