I create sequences of binary digits on machines in the hope that at some point in the far away future it will all make sense.

👀 Sneak a peek at the deepest & sharpest infrared image of the early universe ever taken — all in a day’s work for the Webb telescope. (Literally, capturing it took less than a day!) This is Webb’s first image released as we begin to #UnfoldTheUniverse: https://t.co/tlougFWg8B

Congratulations to the Agoria Solar Team from KU Leuven for breaking the world record with their solar car design. A whopping 1051 km in 12 hours. Special shout-out to Tine Wildiers for this nice achievement. #sustainabledevelopment #solar https://t.co/sAssfOzYD7

Last week we received a training in 🇲🇰. #ML offers a lot, but it can be used for good & evil. This training gave us knowledge & tools to develop safer, more reliable ML. Going from big brother to good brother. Many 🙏 to @GoodBrotherCOST, @BartVanrumste, @salitotnt. Go #SISSTEM!

@elonmusk Q: will/should master plan take an extreme look at net positive fusion + AI? Example: machine learning approach for simpler control of magnetic actuator coils for plasma confinement: https://t.co/61fP8YRELg

The war in Ukraine also shows how the global addiction to fossil fuels is placing energy security, #ClimateAction & the entire global economy at the mercy of geopolitics.

All countries need to make a rapid, managed transition to renewable energy.

I love the Russian people. That is why I have to tell you the truth. Please watch and share.

@elonmusk Maybe there are some preliminary ideas on keyboard intensive applications? First challenge that comes to mind is coding, throughput would be at least faster than avg. keystrokes/hr I imagine. Would be interesting to measure accuracy, perhaps some AI assistance would be needed...

Amid the turbulence of a pandemic & racedemic, I offer this reflection on what Earth looks like from space, as only an Apollo astronaut can tell it.

In South Korea 🇰🇷, the solar panels in the middle of the highway have a bicycle path underneath - cyclists are protected from the sun, isolated from traffic, and the country can produce clean energy. https://t.co/HTwHaC2FRf

@cnni First step, don't finish with cats & dogs, stop the rain. Ban all exotic meat products, incentivise innovation in carbon-negative plant-based substitutes or cultured meat products. Create awareness campaigns for plant-based remedies as a substitute for wildlife-based remedies.
