I think VR has value for doing work in a remote world. But it is a failure of imagination to make working in VR like being in an office.

This paper argues for getting weirder: Giant cats that track who is speaking. Meetings where words pile at your feet. https://t.co/qYhOrwFBpE

La ville rose. Hello #Toulouse! A real space city – shoutout to @CiteEspace - that I have many great memories of. I spent some time @ISAE_officiel for a research project during my studies here & guess who else… Buon compleanno @astro_luca! 🥳 #MissionMinerva

Ciao #Sardinia! Sea and mountains, forests, plains, coasts, beaches… due to the great variety of beautiful landscapes and ecosystems some call Sardinia a “micro-continent”! #CiaoItaly #MissionMinerva

More that 59°C was measured on the soil surface in Spain 🇪🇸 and 48°C in the south on France 🇫🇷.

This is not « just summer ».

It is « just hell » and will pretty soon become « just the end of human life » if we continue with our climate inaction.

We created data2vec, the first general high-performance self-supervised algorithm for speech, vision, and text. When applied to different modalities, it matches or outperforms the best self-supervised algorithms. Read more and get the code:

Global GDP 2021 map. US & China account for 42%. I wonder what this map looks like in 20, 50, 100 years.

No matter what, we are one humanity. Life on Earth is not a zero-sum game. We can win together through innovation & compassion, but a little friendly competition is good too.

If a tree falls in a forest…can it become jet fuel?

Now it can.

New technology can turn forest waste into sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) at scale and we’ve agreed to purchase 1.5 billion gallons of it -- making this the biggest SAF agreement in aviation history.

There is no better way to understand one of the most basic concepts of data science and machine learning -

Correlation does not imply causation 😃

[Luca Foschini @calimagna]

Also: Bitcoin has done very little to disrupt fiat. Solar has done very little to stop climate change. Self-driving cars have done very little to stop traffic

This is the fallacy of measuring things up to unrealistic expectations vs. recognizing the field is still in its infancy

Looking back to this extraordinary 2020, here are our moments to remember.
