He tried.. Several times… These 3 are all in the last month or so.. 2 of them from this week alone.. He’s not responsible for Shams and Nikola Windhorst spreading fake rumors. He’s also not responsible for you reading their words and not his direct words.. Check your sources

Math Lady Hazel 🇦🇷 More importantly, at 16, most pupils can solve a quadratic equation. At 32, few can. Compulsory maths lessons are therefore a vast economic inefficiency and a vast moral calamity. There is no justification for wasting people's lives like this.

One of the most important discoveries in molecular biology, I'd say, happened in 1974 when scientists took a gene from a frog (Xenopus laevis) and transferred it into a bacterium (E. coli). The bacterial cells read, processed, and expressed the gene. If a bacterium can read a

Love this shape so much. Such a lifesaver. When I have a higher dimensional perspective like this shape and someone from lower dimensional space tells me it's actually strictly square, triangle, or circle it becomes so much easier to identify their perspective limitations.

In terms of how this relates to the Timberwolves, Minnesota has a great shot at moving to the East. Yes, Memphis and New Orleans are further east geographically, but Minnesota is on an island when it comes to nearby Western Conference teams, but has multiple nearby east teams

I finally had a chance to read this paper. I am now convinced that Recursive Language Models (RLMs) are going to be the next big thing in AI advances! Attention is shifting toward very large context windows. Very impressive paper! Congrats to Alex who is a new PhD student at MIT.

Your eyes swear this shape is real… but physics says it shouldn’t exist. This impossible ring plays with perspective, angles, and depth, forcing your brain to invent what can’t survive in 3D.

This might be the first hot take on how technology tells us how to live our lives, destroying our ability to make human decisions. The technology in question is the sundial. From a 3rd century BCE Roman adaptation of a Greek play, as discussed in Kerr’s “The Ordered Day”

this is Google’s best kept secret - isomorphic labs is google’s AI-powered lab that discovers and creates new drugs to treat fatal diseases. - it’s powered by alpha-fold, their protein-sequencer ai model that won a nobel prize recently for its discoveries. - the master plan:

Gideon Lewis-Kraus only writes about AI like once every 5 years, but when he does, it's a gift his Anthropic profile contains the kind of lyricism generally reserved for describing fine art!

The US spent 70 years building a country optimized for cars instead of people. This is what that looks like at full resolution. MetLife Stadium sits on 2.1 million square feet of parking. 28,000 spaces. The parking lots are larger than the stadium itself. The entire Meadowlands
