To those in fear of losing power.

And I hope Kahless can forgive me for I could not resist.

The ultimate acid test is that of nature. That is how new knowledge is generated.

[Simon Maechling @simonmaechling]

People are asking how AI companies will discover the next breakthrough drug.

I think they're asking the wrong question.
Generating molecules is a commodity.

The limiting factor is no longer the ability to create hypotheses.

It's the ability to test them in the real world.

About 4.2 citations per day for 2.6 σ in about one month.

This makes me think about how to derive a “temperature”, T ~ R / z, and physics does not disappoint: 1/T=dS/dU with dS ~ z and dU ~ R.

It’s a pleasure to share more broadly how our experiments are ready to pounce on more data to answer this question.
The 125 GeV Higgs boson is a gift that keeps on giving.

[Physical Review Letters @PhysRevLett]

Combined data from the @ATLASexperiment and @CMSExperiment at @CERN have yielded the most precise measurements to date of Higgs boson pair production, setting strict limits on Higgs self-interactions that align closely with Standard Model predictions.

@PKoppenburg Yes, it was that kind of sunset. Clouds were darker so the contrast was starker.

Thanks!

[André David @DrAndreDavid]

@PKoppenburg Yes, I understand that.
I was asking if you saw the sunset yesterday: it was amazing, with the sun's dark red light illuminating the underside of clouds above the Jura.

I was driving and did not find a good place to stop and take a picture. ☹️

Porque é que isto ainda não passou na esfera de Portugal?

Para além de fado, até o cabelo do RAP é chamado à colação.

@CburgesCliff @particleist It’s a part of collaborating.

[André David @DrAndreDavid]

@particleist @CburgesCliff I’ve seen presentations I cannot unsee.

[André David @DrAndreDavid]

@particleist @CburgesCliff Isn’t collaboration what happens when the LLM does the work for you, including submitting for publication?

[André David @DrAndreDavid]

@cvazmarques, caso RAP não tenha visto e lhe possa passar palavra.

[André David @DrAndreDavid]

Only 16 TB.

@CburgesCliff Right? Hilbert would be proud to see the effective dimension growing away from unity.

Hey @mondialrelay, here's today's package experience:
Started in Caen → Le Mans → Lyon → Chambéry, always getting closer to the destination.

Then Chambéry → Rouen! That's 5× closer to where it started than where it must end.

Is this the parcel version of the Tour de France?

@particleist The anti-autoencoder first step now becoming pervasive in science?

Anti-AE is what I call the pattern of people using LLMs to write things that the recipients then ask an LLM to summarise.

So much entropy in this process, and so much wasted energy to reduce it.
