FYI kalo U gak academically smart, bukan berarti U otomatis jadi street smart. Bisa aja bego dua-duanya.

"Kami mau melapor ke polisi, polisi punya dapur SPPG. Kami mau melapor ke TNI, tentara punya dapur SPPG. Kami mau melapor ke DPR RI, anggota DPR banyak yang punya dapur SPPG," kata Iman Zanatul Haeri, seorang guru, di hadapan Mahkamah Konstitusi.

The Netherlands actually demanded Indonesia to pay over 6 billion Dutch guilders (debt incurred by the Dutch East Indies govt) as the price for Indonesia's independence. The two sides eventually agreed on 4.3b guilders (US$15.9b today). Indonesia only finished paying it in 2003

In chaotic systems, the smallest fluctuations get amplified. As scientist Edward Lorenz put it in the 1960s and 70s, even a seagull flapping its wings might eventually make a big difference to the weather. Here's how scientists came to understand what chaos is, and how to wrangle it: https://t.co/7DrDEptTcB

刚看了一段伯克利工程学院的毕业典礼演讲，是今年看过最打动人的一段视频

演讲者收到伯克利博士录取通知的时候，96岁的奶奶跟她说："我很为你骄傲，但我不想让你走。因为我不知道我还能不能再等五年，看到你博士毕业。"

她说从那一刻开始，她一直在想一个问题：一个PhD的重量到底是什么？

不只是论文和答辩。是导师的指导，是实验室里无数个孤独的夜晚，是家人替你承担的那些你看不到的代价

她的奶奶成长在动荡年代，连小学都没读完。但今天她坐在台下，看着孙女成为博士

演讲里有一段话我反复听了几遍：工程是人类最古老的职业之一，从石器到蒸汽机到今天的AI。我们有建造和定义时代的力量，但每个系统背后都是真实的人生，每个决定都有重量

现在AI这么热，大家都在聊模型多强、效率多高。但偶尔需要有人提醒一下：技术最终是服务于人的，不是反过来

她最后说，她设计传感器的时候，总会想象奶奶生活在这个技术世界里

A collaborative math project, started by Terence Tao, showed that mathematics could be conducted experimentally, and worked on by large groups of mathematicians at once. In doing so, it turned up something genuinely new.

Iraqi footballer Aymen Hussein issued a statement after being detained and questioned for seven hours upon entering the United States:

“If America is so hostile towards foreign nationals, why is it hosting the #2026WorldCup?”

My physics oral exam at the ENS: "Have you seen videos of supraconductors levitating above magnets?
1. Prove that they do levitate.
2. If a supraconductor levitates for 30 min, estimate an upper bound for its resistivity."

1 hour exam at the blackboard, no preparation, no documents, no computer or calculator, no pen or paper... just you standing alone with a piece a chalk and a top physicist staring at you.

Supraconductivity wasn't even part of the program. The whole point was to figure out a decent model and derive everything from first principles (ie Maxwell equations, which you were supposed to know by heart, alongside approximate values of the universal constants).

Note: my specialty was math, not physics. I can't even imagine what the questions were Iike for the physics students.
