Anyone having issues with using @OpenAIDevs ChatCompletions API to analyse PDFs? It worked as the docs described until a week or so ago. Now the AI doesn't see the uploaded PDF. Here is a short notebook where you can reproduce the behaviour. https://t.co/RmgKOfe6wx . Thanks 🙏

Polarisation doesn't just happen in politics - science too. We just got published in the Guardian advocating for a constructive middle ground on #coldfusion (aka #LENR).

Please share with energy research policy makers 🙏

Quantum commuting 😉 is my attempt to explain some hallmarks of #quantum #physics to non specialists by thinking about getting to work.

It's all in the eyes! I recently listened to @vvanedwards on the DOAC podcast who said the more white we show at the top of our eyes, the more scared we look. The difference is so clear to us even though it's only a subtle change in the whiteness we show. The brain is amazing!

The #coldfusion / #lenr paper I was part of writing last year is now being reported on by the amazing  @skdh 😊. It's great to have attention drawn to our work so that other people might get inspired to enter this field too. The potential impact is huge - we need more research 👨‍🔬

Nucleonics is about engineering nuclear reactions to make them faster and safer. I just wrote my first blog post for the nucleonics substack. Come on over if you want an optimistic view of the future of nuclear

#Nuclear #fusion enthusiasts, I invite you to check out a paper that my colleagues and I just published that shows how known physics can explain "cold fusion" https://t.co/upjla4lX6C . The juicy details are in the 230 page supplementary notes https://t.co/e5YI3oOufl 🤓 Enjoy!

I wrote a high level explainer last year: https://t.co/wNTNCeTEB8
My colleagues just published on this in @NJPhysics: https://t.co/IZVOz0BF2i
I contributed to its SI rigorously explaining quantum physics mechanisms for cold fusion in extensive detail: https://t.co/bxS9G3a3Bm

Doesn't YouTube look so clean without the recommendations sidebar?! After spending way too much time watching recommendation after recommendation I decided to block them with the help of ChatGPT who made me a nice little chrome extension in no time 🙌 https://t.co/C8yQFOoYWD

I presented at a "cold fusion" conference recently 🧑‍🔬. It was my first academic conference since I left full-time hot fusion research 10 years ago, and I could really feel the influence of my last 7 years in technology education. Geek out on the work at https://t.co/Yo1op40fVT 🤓

I need a new fridge. Can the combined power of data + cute #AI generated visuals convince my landlord to buy one for me? I'm experimenting with a Flourish #data story to find out https://t.co/dBa6WZJNHI. Wish me luck!

[Matt Lilley @mklilley]

Nothing quite like delivering in-person educational experiences. You get to really feel the energy, see the lightbulb moments happen for people and share in those important moments of levity. You feel connected. I'm very glad we haven't transitioned to a totally remote world ☺️.

Geeking out on #CO2 sensors this week. Turns out there's some man made microclimate change going on my in flat and it's been giving me a headache... literally. Come geek out with me 🤓 https://t.co/PDvbVhcyzY

[Matt Lilley @mklilley]

How high could the sea levels rise if the ice caps melt? Is this a critical juncture for civilization as we know it? Let's use the power of #guesstimation to find out 💪🤓 https://t.co/uIGqpSF57f

Explaining #MachineLearning using the classic "dog vs muffin" just got a lot more fun with #DALLE3

New #AI experiment 🧪: #Creative Muse - a custom #GPT for fans of "The Artist's Way". I've struggled to keep "morning pages" fresh after reading the book, so I made this tool for ongoing creative sparks 🎨. More details and link to the tool on my blog 📖 https://t.co/gsW1ldcqNn

Tea bubbles are so cute 🥰. Why do they always run away to the edge of the mug though? The Marangoni effect. Tea is cooler at the edge of the mug than in the middle, so surface tension is higher at the edge. Means water molecules pull stuff to the edge more than middle. #Physics

Do you see it? Tiny images of the solar eclipse are projected onto the floor because the tiny gaps in between the tree leaves create "pinhole" cameras all over the place. I was so lucky to capture this today. ☺️ #Physics #EclipseSolar #Eclipse2023

1) "quantumchicken" - my 90's web forum name - manifested using #ChatGPT integration with #DALLE3. I simply prompted "Can you make me a quantum chicken?" and #GPT made the DALLE prompts for me. Here are some of my faves.
