@OHBM From the science viewpoint: excellent; from the logistics viewpoint: terrible. Expensive registration, overcrowded rooms and screens that are too small, no food provided (you have to pay for everything), no water provided when >30 degrees for poster sessions... You can do better!

Puisque les débats sur la clim reviennent...

- La clim est une adaptation nécessaire au chgt climatique
- Elle sauve des vies humaines
- En France, elle est alimentée par une énergie quasi 100% décarbonnée
- Par 35°C, elle est un impératif au même titre que le chauffage en hiver

Astrophysicists have found evidence of UAPs in old photographic plates. Something seems to have been orbiting around our planet before we had satellites! This finding has been independently confirmed. Still, scientists are afraid to speak out. @DrBeaVillarroel @Rizstanford

wow, this is HUGE AI/science/acc

1000x scientific progress (due to AI automation) is around the corner.

"We present The AI Scientist, which creates research ideas, writes code, runs experiments, plots and analyses data, writes the entire scientific manuscript, and performs its own peer review. Its ideas, execution and presentation are of sufficient quality that the manuscript generated by this AI system passed the first round of peer review for a workshop of a top-tier machine learning conference."

This is one of the clearest signs yet that AI is moving from being a tool inside research to becoming a system that can execute a large chunk of the research process itself. The paper’s central claim is not AI can help scientists write better. It is much bigger - AI can now string together the full pipeline from concept to manuscript in an autonomous way.

this is pretty amazing

A big part of the paper is the automated reviewer. The authors say their reviewer can predict conference acceptance decisions at a level comparable to human reviewers, and they use it to score papers produced by different versions of the system.

This is a huge step toward automated "science factories", that will bring us to K1, soon after Type II civilization level, and it will happen very fast.

Le foutage de gueule : l'État n'alloue pas les crédits nécessaires à la recherche, voire les diminue, puis il crée une plateforme pour rendre le doctorat plus attractif🤡
La recherche a juste besoin d'argent et de postes, pas d'une plateforme ni d'une com' à deux euros !

By studying samples analyzed by the Curiosity rover, scientists have taken another step toward understanding whether life could have ever existed on Mars.

A new study suggests that non-biological sources cannot fully account for the abundance of organic compounds found in a sample collected by the rover.

Does AI already have human-level general intelligence (AGI)?
Our answer in @Nature today: Yes, AGI has arrived. The evidence is clear.

The 350th day.

A quiet milestone on the calendar, but at 40,000 feet it feels anything but ordinary.

There’s something fitting about meeting the Airbus A350 on the 350th day of the year. A machine built for long horizons and quiet confidence, revealing its character only when you spend time with it. Smooth where others are busy. Thoughtful where others are loud. It doesn’t shout about capability; it simply delivers it, mile after mile.

A few facts that still make me pause:
• Over 70% of the airframe is made from advanced materials, including carbon fibre composites, giving it remarkable strength with significantly less weight.
• Cabin altitude sits at around 6,000 feet, meaning less fatigue, better sleep, and a noticeably calmer arrival after long-haul sectors.
• Its Rolls-Royce Trent XWB engines are among the most efficient large civil aero engines ever built, burning less fuel while producing less noise than almost anything in its class.
• The A350 routinely crosses continents and oceans with a range of over 8,000 nautical miles, quietly shrinking the planet in the process.

Day 350 feels like a reminder: progress doesn’t always arrive with fanfare. Sometimes it arrives as a sense of ease, a deeper trust in the machine, and the realisation, somewhere over the dark curve of the Earth… that you’re exactly where you’re meant to be.

@TOEwithCurt Hard problem of consciousness, and why we have consciousness at all. Cannot wrap my head around those two, I do not think we have (yet) the good theoretical framework to begin addressing those

Mais alors pourquoi tant de docteurs restent-ils sans poste d'enseignant-chercheur ?
