Can be heard lecturing @MIT in an Irish accent. Enjoys climbing and Guinness but rarely at the same time.

I reached the summit of Mt Everest yesterday. The whole expedition was a fantastic experience and the summit push couldn’t have gone better - arriving just as dawn broke. Very lucky.

I couldn’t be happier for my friend and colleague @baselinescene , who won the #NobelPrize today. Incredible recognition for his work.

10 yrs ago he brought me into the Global Economics and Management faculty group at #MIT . We have published and taught together since, including, I’m proud to say, cofounding a course on #AI that was the 1st of its kind (on offer to MIT students again in Spring). The picture below is from the first time we taught that class together.

Simon has mentored and supported me throughout. Every time he crosses the corridor to my office to discuss his latest thinking, I know I’m going to learn something.

Also delighted for @DAcemogluMIT a Nobel co-recipient today - an incredible MIT colleague and a giant in the field.

Can you believe I get paid to work with people like this!

@mark_cummins Don't think it went into escrow until '18. Would still be €50Bn had we invested in APPL. Shows challenge with the SWF investing tho - diversification might suggest avoiding sectors we are reliant on for CorpTax. Problem is, this is likely where lots of equity growth will occur

[Jonathan Ruane @jonruane]

Hope you are happy Peter Shor, look what you made @NIST do :) A big day for Post-Quantum Cryptography and the start of an enormous migration effort across the world. Congrats to all involved over the last 8+ years

Back to back Olympic Champions. 🥇. What an achievement ☘️ Congrats Paul & Fintan 🚣🏾‍♂️

[Jonathan Ruane @jonruane]

Incredible performance Mona !! You've done Sligo proud tonight ☘️

[Jonathan Ruane @jonruane]

@amcafee Given that you didn't have any CONTRACT with Bengt to promote your book, my THEORY is, his PRINCIPAL motivation is that it a fantastic read. But also because he is such a NOBLE guy. I hope your AGENT enjoyed it too.

[Jonathan Ruane @jonruane]

Really enjoyable evening. Thanks to @QuSysTCD for the invitation to give #quantum lecture in the historic @TCD_physics theatre (host to the Schrödinger Lecture Series & more).

[Microsoft Ireland NTO @MSIrelandNTO]

Great lecture this evening by Prof Johnathan Ruane @jonruane from @MIT on #QuantumComputing hype

Key msg: much more development required but important that we use the technology we have to drive forward innovation.

Thanks @QuSysTCD @TrinityQuantum @tcddublin for organising.

[@TCD_QuantumSciTech @quantumscitech]

Is the #quantum hype our friend or foe? Hosted by @TrinityQuantum , join @jonruane @MIT to discuss this and more in @TCD_physics next Wed Nov 15th. Register at https://t.co/TNCbaGIG6W

[The Nobel Prize @NobelPrize]

Say hello! 👋

Moungi Bawendi got an early morning call from Stockholm breaking the news that he is one of the 2023 chemistry laureates.

How is he celebrating this morning? Teaching his @MIT class at 9.

We'll be sharing his first reaction very soon.

#NobelPrize

[Jonathan Ruane @jonruane]

Thanks to @MIT_CSAIL @CQE_MIT & Daniela Rus for hosting.

[Jonathan Ruane @jonruane]

We heard from @PeterShor1 @oliver_mit & @Vinod_MIT at today’s Quantum Implications for Security seminar @MIT

You would do well to find three more informed perspectives across quantum algorithms, hardware and cryptography.

[Jonathan Ruane @jonruane]

Take away: scaled up, reliable quantum computers remain some years away, but the digital security implications need to be tackled much sooner.

I learned: if lattice based approaches become ineffective we have few/no alternatives. That keeps cryptographers awake at night !!

[NewstalkFM @NewstalkFM]

It has been 70 years since the first Everest summit 🌄

We'll be talking about the mountain's history with @jonruane, who climbed Everest last year and explorer @patfalvey 🧭

Join us on @TheHardShoulder now 👇

@amcafee @pronoydsarkar @erikbryn This book is beautiful on the outside and chock full of incredibly smart ideas. Some might say it's the opposite of yourself on both counts. But of course I'd never even think such a thing 😳

Can't wait to get my grubby paws on a copy.

[Jonathan Ruane @jonruane]

My friends (and colleagues) @baselinescene and @DAcemogluMIT have published an amazing new book looking at the impact of technology and who decides on the share of benefits.

#PowerAndProgress available to buy now.

[Daron Acemoglu @DAcemogluMIT]

Hello Twitter 👋

This is my new account, launched to coincide with mine and @baselinescene's new book #PowerAndProgress.

This is the beginning of an intellectual journey and I look forward to connecting with many of you on the broader issues at play.

[Jonathan Ruane @jonruane]

@realBobbyHealy @lexfridman @MIT Your's might have been the better lecture - but he out dressed you - some man for a sharp suit !

I was on to him recently about coming to Ireland, I wanted to show him some serious mountain scenery. I'll say it again when I see him.

[Jonathan Ruane @jonruane]

@realBobbyHealy @lexfridman @lexfridman and I used to teach an AI course together @MIT. He had to bow out because of other commitments. So I brought in some external people for certain lectures - including YOU, two years ago ! Small world.

[Jonathan Ruane @jonruane]

Thanks to @Grace_OF, my family, friends and everyone who supported me at home.

Thanks to @sst8848, the rope fixing team, and everyone who supported me on the hill.

[Jonathan Ruane @jonruane]

My Makalu expedition is over. No opportunity for summit push given timing of work commitments butcoming home healthy and happy.

Makalu remains the highest mountain unclimbed by an Irish person. I wish whoever makes the next attempt all the luck in the world. ☘️
