Exactly one of my points from over a decade ago when studying AI

[Pedro Domingos @pmddomingos]

Your brain consumes 20 W of power. A single GPU consumes a kilowatt. A data center has tens of thousands of them, and is still not as powerful as your brain. Chew on that before you say AGI is imminent.

@antirez @aktiiaGlobal Do you wear the aktiia next to an apple watch? Wondering how good is it in that case

Another example on why statistical approaches (most of ML) are not enough and you need logical reasoning to solve problems. Back to the original, decades-old AI camps of logics vs number crunching.

[Google DeepMind @GoogleDeepMind]

AlphaGeometry is a system made up of 2️⃣ parts:
🔵 A neural language model, which can predict useful geometry constructions to solve problems
🔵 A symbolic deduction engine, which uses logical rules to deduce conclusions

Both work together to find proofs for complex geometry theorems.

Noam Chomsky and @GaryMarcus on the pitfalls of recent AI systems like DallE, no real understanding of the world. @WebSummit As I’m saying since a while, Semantic Web/logics based AI has to come together with Machine Learning and statistics (the latter has so far won in industry)

New #WatchOS9 finally shipped heart rate zones, I’ve enabled the views on the watch workout app so why are they not visible during @Apple Fitness+ workout? Wake up #fitness+ product team!

Reason why I never use these and neither should you. Plus it’s bad for the environment

A recent research found that a cup of tea made with plastic teabags may come with a dose of micro- and nano-sized plastics (the latter being less than 100 nanometers in size) shed from the bags. Health effects are currently unknown [read more: https://t.co/Su6W4cxrW8]

@ricburton If you want to achieve 24h global solar/renewables production you ‘just’ need to have global smart grids with renewables on earth on strategic areas. Earth rotates thankfully

[maxscience 🧙‍♂️ 🔭🔬 @maxscience]

@ricburton Yep and that issue it too naively dismissed

[Massimo Banzi @mbanzi]

"Physical buttons outperform touchscreens in new cars, test finds" Touchscreens make it simpler for a developers to build and interface while making it harder for the user. So much for user centered design https://t.co/s9IiuvlQMK

Mexico City was hit by a freak hailstorm Sunday burying the city in many inches of hail.

An incredible winter-like scene in mid-June.

As startups grow there is extremely strong pull into what I call the death spiral of bullshit.

More people -> more teams -> more buy-in required -> more meetings -> being persuasive rewarded more than building -> builders leave -> nothing gets done
