[Julia Neagu @julianeagu]

I'm building a new team at @databricks AI Research and we're hiring.

We're focused on one of the hardest open problems in AI right now: how do you measure and continuously improve agents that operate on enterprise data at scale. We're looking for founding engineers to build the flywheel that turns evaluation results directly into better agents — from development and training all the way to production.

If you want to work on problems that actually matter at the frontier of AI research, I'd love to talk.

With the rise of AI in mathematics, many of us are rethinking what math is for—and what it even is. These are philosophical questions, and we should discuss them carefully and openheartedly. This classic essay by Reuben Hersh is a great place to start. https://t.co/Hq2NAe5mFh

I'm giving a guest lecture at ETH Zürich tomorrow, as part of @oier_mees robot learning course.

I'll explain vision pretrain and VLMs, although I've been told it's already outdated; robotics moved on to world models now 🫣

It's a pretty stacked course: https://t.co/ev8U9O1CQ1

This tape contains Paul Dirac’s lecture (yes, that Paul Dirac, one of the founders of quantum mechanics) at the University of South Carolina. This tape is also legendary; it has been missing for the past 32 years! And guess what: Prof. Frank Avignone found it today!

Ukrainian mathematician Maryna Viazovska solved a problem that had puzzled mathematicians for over 400 years. Even Johannes Kepler and Isaac Newton couldn’t crack it.

We live in a three-dimensional world, but Maryna solved a puzzle in an eight-dimensional space—something that’s very hard even to imagine.

She was born in Kyiv, studied at Taras Shevchenko University, worked in Bonn and Berlin, and at just 33 became a professor in Lausanne.

So what was the problem? It’s about how to pack identical spheres as tightly as possible in space. This question was first asked by Kepler back in 1611. Over time, scientists found answers for two and three dimensions—but not for eight.

Maryna proved that in eight dimensions, the densest packing is formed by a special mathematical structure called a lattice. What’s even more amazing is that she did it in just 23 pages, while earlier attempts took hundreds.

In 2022, she was awarded the Fields Medal, the most prestigious prize in mathematics. She became only the second woman in history to receive it.

Today, Maryna Viazovska works in Lausanne, supports Ukrainian mathematicians, and brings pride to Ukraine with her achievements.
