When all this AI-science startups with the insane fundings will crash, I hope somebody gets the knowledge out of the silos. So much useful and valuable tech/knowledge is dying with startups.

[Samuel Gyger @gyger]

@jwt0625 Oh, single photon sources and transducers would have a pretty bad ratio.

[Samuel Gyger @gyger]

Ich finde man sollte so Firmenaussagen nicht immer so unkommentiert übernehmen.

[DIE ZEIT @zeitonline]

Die Pharmakonzerne Boehringer Ingelheim und Eli Lilly streichen milliardenhohe Investitionen in Deutschland. Grund seien unter anderem die Sparpläne der Bundesregierung. https://t.co/MAjiMMyqwi

When I ask Microsoft 365 Copilot to make an Excel file, it uses openpyxl. Kind of sad, that there is no opensource library that Microsoft provides to work with their document formats.

@GergelyOrosz Used monitors, 3-4 years old from companies. In my opinion still the best Cost/Value proposition.

[Samuel Gyger @gyger]

Yes how?

Dear RF/EE Twitter,
Do you keep an inventory of your workshop tools? If yes, how?
I have a simple Google sheet for my main tools and accessories (not components or consumables)
Here's the structure:

Prices hidden behind a sales person are pretty annoying nowadays, it feels it limits the usefulness of automated web browsing machines.

On Austrian Airlines flight OS240, a man cried that he couldn't breathe while officers held him down. The pilot refused to fly. I witnessed the scene - but German media told a different story. Link below!

The world has gone mad.

It pains me to report @WKCosmo for what he terms ACADEMIC MISCONDUCT.

The four authors in Ref. 15 of his "Phase Transitions and Gravitational Waves" https://t.co/uNcBOE7evn are HALLUCINATED. Also citing an ERRATUM? Did @WKCosmo read his own paper. BAN FOR LIFE?

[Samuel Gyger @gyger]

So now there are two startups, almost the same name ricursive and recursive intelligence.
https://t.co/SGvSPJipXp and https://t.co/4HJjvvRnJW both around 500M$.
How is there still funding left.

[Samuel Gyger @gyger]

I really cannot understand how this is in any regards controversial. #arXiv

[Thomas G. Dietterich @tdietterich]

We have recently clarified our penalties for this. If a submission contains incontrovertible evidence that the authors did not check the results of LLM generation, this means we can't trust anything in the paper. 3/

[Samuel Gyger @gyger]

@PMinervini Shouldn't studens at least read the abstract of a paper they cite. I feel that is minimal requirement. Otherwise why cite at all.

[Samuel Gyger @gyger]

@bubbleboi I think the hope of quantum is to become the next photonics.

[Samuel Gyger @gyger]

The advantage of nuclear power plants is that the discussion about subsidies is not so obvious, because any impact and a lot of effective costs happen far in the future, in that regard it has a big advantage over other ways of clean energy.

[Samuel Gyger @gyger]

@peterottsjo I'm betting it's easier to make new robot native labs (while using machines designed for humans, only the infrastructure is designed for robots), than having humanoids on a reasonable time scale, but if we get humanoids that work really well, that is of course awesome.

[Samuel Gyger @gyger]

@StokowskiH @R_A_Ziemkiewicz It's all about which laws the companies have to follow. I do hope that in the future the different payment schemes in Europe will work together. I never understood why we need Visa and Mastercard, Banks should solve this themselves.

[Samuel Gyger @gyger]

@StokowskiH @R_A_Ziemkiewicz I think the goal is to get rid of Visa or Mastercard, as we control our cash, it is probably also a good idea to Control digital payment methods.

[Samuel Gyger @gyger]

@davidjmadden I agree with a lot of your premises, but not with your conclusion. I think we need to teach students how to use AI well, and one part of this education is that you do not study to submit a report, but to improve yourself.

[Samuel Gyger @gyger]

@StokowskiH @naval And sometimes I don't know what I want.

[Samuel Gyger @gyger]

@StokowskiH @naval The problem now, on the fly can take a day or two. ;-p
