Science not having enough impact? Just focus on high impact research. Should be easy

NF Just Dropped the FEAR EP today.

The journey from HOPE to FEAR is hitting different today

If you follow, the whole project is necessary. One can't appreciate the light until one looks at what's dark.

Reminded that hope isn't a destination, but food for the journey. We hope for what isn't, yet.

Happy Friday

Made even better by NF's new album, yes. Can you beer me please?

Meta's chief AI scientist Yann LeCun reportedly plans to leave to build his own startup | TechCrunch Yann LeCun, a chief AI scientist at Meta, is planning to leave the company to build his own startup, which will focus on continuing his work on world models.

My conspiracy theory about yann is that:

- he is too fixated on older-school methods
- zuck wants someone more dynamic
- yann is too powerful to oust from meta
- zuck just made the AI world at meta so chaotic that yann wanted to leave

Better meds I hope.

My mom has untreated RA. She doesn't want meds.

This is important to me.

I am on a quest to follow all the Bioinformaticians here on #Bluesky.

Plus — my own pet peeve — the incomprehensible way we are allowing our libraries to be used for AI training by corporations while mostly preventing faculty from using them in the same way. That's just a shotgun aimed at our own feet.

I might be an uncultured swine who doesn't understand what a "math society" is, but I'm naively assuming here it is a society of math professionals or enthusiasts.

Have a good week, sir! :)

With a hardly suppressed smile:

No, you should rejoin all the math societies you quit and use all means at your disposal to unleash the full fury of your mathematical brilliance and rigor upon them.

As far as how woke you want to be--just do what you want, provided that you act in good conscience.

Pope Leo XIV on X: "The world needs honest and courageous entrepreneurs and communicators who care for the common good. We sometimes hear the saying: “Business is business!” In reality, it is not so. No one is absorbed by an organization to the point of becoming a mere cog or a simple function.

I want to pin this to my wall to read every day

I hope Pope Leo gets a Bluesky account

It's a pain to switch between platforms because people are too divided to use just one.

Mining near-earth asteroids for rare earth metals. My personal opinion? He's too early, but I'm just an observer. But still fascinating. I admire his forward-thinkingness:

They talked about the importance of using social media a lot less

and reading great books

and climatology

great stuff.

Should consider reading the books mentioned in the pod.

didn't know microwaves had anything to do with fusion....

Attentional failures after sleep deprivation are locked to joint neurovascular, pupil and cerebrospinal fluid flow dynamics - Nature Neuroscience Yang et al. show that moments of failed attention we experience after sleep deprivation reflect brief ‘sleep-like’ episodes in the brain, corresponding to a brain- and body-wide event with altered brain activity, pupil size and brain fluid movement.

This sounds cynical—but represents a huge advance over empty “AGI” speculation.

It’s a political question, not a technical one. Without social equality models *cannot do* many kinds of work (eg, negotiate agreements or manage workers). So they will only be human-equivalent if we decide they are.

Mohamed Salah's goal in Liverpool's 2-0 win over Aston Villa tonight was his 276th goal involvement for the Reds in the Premier League, taking him level with Wayne Rooney for the most G+A for a single club in the competition.

but my advice is probably worthless

--posting to The Void

My naive layman perspective:

If you are in academia (I AM NOT), you need to realize that this administration expects academia to work like business.

Some of the best academics will survive here

Others of the best will have to go somewhere else

My advice was always to work for corporate research
