I ended up fishing the set while watching the Australian GP!

Its SO much bigger than I expected it to be but lego captured @McLarenF1 's beauty quite well !

Celebrating the start of the F1 season by getting myself the massive McLaren MCL39 lego set!

My cat Miso for scale.

in my ap english exam, we had to write 5 page papers on three different prompts we didn't know ahead of time, all in less than 2 hours. these kids are WEAK

This is really remarkable. Citations to nonexistent papers are not "typos", any more than fabricated data or synthetic figures are.

In 1905, Albert Einstein published the first explanation of the photoelectric effect, but at the time, it was impossible to resolve the timescales that were relevant for this effect. For a long time, physicists assumed the effect was instantaneous.

The 2023 physics laureates made it possible to pose the question “what is the timescale for the photoelectric effect?”

One of the painful lessons that LLMs have taught me is that apparently many researchers have very little integrity. They do not hold themselves to professional ethical standards as scholars. My bad, as it turns out.

[Dr Jake Taylor @AstroJake]

I don’t understand how you can publish a paper with hallucinated citations… do you not read your paper? Do you not know the literature of your field? Do you not have a bib manager? I just don’t get it. Banning people who have hallucinated citations from arxiv is the best idea.

[adam @resurrecti0ns]

it's gonna blow your mind when you find out about the academic disciplines where people are capable of reading an ENTIRE paper. I've even heard rumours of a handful of incredibly talented thinkers who can make it through an entire book

[Steve McCormick @Quasilocal]

Hot take: If you don't even want to read the paper once, maybe don't put your name on it.

Idk if I told anyone but I got diagnosed with ADHD in November and its relieving to know so many of my struggles had an explanation, but its also frustrating to know my brain is my worst enemy

It makes me sad that he’s been ringing the alarm of climate disaster for decades and everyone is just like ‘aw what a sweet old national treasure’ and ignoring him

Born in Poland, and deeply fond of her homeland, twice Nobel laureate Maria Salomea Skłodowska-Curie came to consider herself, nonetheless, a proud citizen of France. Today the entire world benefits from her groundbreaking discoveries. 🇵🇱🇫🇷🇪🇺🇺🇳

Have yet to see a university establish, say, a center of AI skepticism. Would be, dare I say, innovative!

Consumption is just assumed to be a given, and then the question becomes how best to consume.

Coding is only a small fraction of what a CS PhD student actually does; perhaps 10–30% of their time. The real goal of a PhD, and of being a professor, is not to outsource research work but to educate and train the next generation of scientists: people who deeply understand their field, can think critically about it, and ultimately become experts capable of pushing the frontier of knowledge forward.

Coding is probably one of the least interesting part of being a CS PhD. We need human experts even more than before at the age of AI.

When 2017 physics laureate Kip Thorne collected his Nobel Prize medal, he was overcome with emotion while looking at an image of fellow Nobel Prize laureate, Albert Einstein.

A century ago, Einstein predicted the existence of gravitational waves. These 'ripples' in a four-dimensional spacetime occur when objects with mass accelerate. The effects are very small.

In the 1970s, the LIGO detector was developed, which uses laser technology to measure small changes in length caused by gravitational waves.

Kip Thorne made crucial contributions to the development of the detector, and on 14 September 2015, he was among some 1,000 physicists who were finally able to observe gravitational waves for the first time.

Kip Thorne shared the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2017 with Rainer Weiss and Barry Barish "for decisive contributions to the LIGO detector and the observation of gravitational waves."

Watched an older cartoon with a friend, and at the end it said "Captioning made possible by US Department of Education."

My friend sighed, "wow, remember when the DOE was useful?"
