@duolingo I lost my 300+ day streak as I was not able to practice due to a series of events: international travel, missed connections and unable to charge my phone. I wasn't able to do a streak repair when I did a lesson today. Could you please help me repair my long streak?

Robots with RL can learn autonomously in the real world, and this allows them to keep getting better and better. We explore this in our recent paper, introducing ReLMM, a system for fully autonomous real-world robotic with mobile manipulators: https://t.co/DNSnELotdX

[Yann LeCun @ylecun]

Pantheon of scientific territorial hubris:
Chemistry is just physics
Biology is just chemistry
Neuroscience is just biology
Psychology is just neuroscience
Economics is just psychology
Computer science is just math
Machine learning is just statistics
All of it is just philosophy!

Making India proud! Comgrats @SirishaBandla

[Bhavya Lal @blal]

Brings tears to my eyes! Congrats @SirishaBandla

[Yisong Yue @yisongyue]

Task Programming won Best Student Paper at @CVPR! Congratulations to @JenJSun and the other co-authors: @Antihebbiann, @ericzhan_ , David Anderson, Pietro Perona.

[Shreyansh Daftry @shreyanshdaftry]

Totally agree! 💯

In retrospect, one of the best decisions I took was to do study ECE for my undergrad! Helped me prepare well for a career in AI/ML.

[Yann LeCun @ylecun]

Which is why the best preparation for a PhD in ML/AI is not necessarily CS but electrical engineering, physics, or applied mathematics.

[Shreyansh Daftry @shreyanshdaftry]

NASA is inviting innovators to compete in a new challenge to develop innovative observation technologies for small spacecraft that can autonomously detect, locate, track, and collect data on transient events - both on Earth and beyond. Awards up to $500K!

It’s time to start my search for ancient microbial life. I’m heading south to survey some of the oldest geologic features of Jezero Crater. My team will then work to bring my auto-navigation and sample systems online before I start collecting rock cores. https://t.co/gHYwiqqLmW

[ARCHIVED - NASA's Perseverance Mars Rover @NASAPersevere]

With no road maps on Mars, I’m building my own as I go. There are lots of places I want to explore, and mapping while I drive will help me see and do more. Let the road trip begin.

We are excited to announce the Tartan SLAM Series, an interactive series of presentations and discussions on SLAM! Open to both newcomers and experts. You can sign up on our website https://t.co/zjoOkuI30T to receive reminders and Zoom links to participate.

[Shreya Shankar @sh_reya]

just skimmed the syllabus on the new coursera course on mlops...once again, i feel the need to reiterate that most production ML systems are NOT built around deep learning, AutoML, and/or NAS. and that’s okay; more power to you if simple models do the job

[Lauren Stopfer, PhD @lstops]

I worked at MIT, nights weekends & holidays, for 5.5 yrs as a grad. I am still working nights/wknds to finish up several projects from my PhD.

Today they emailed to inform me I was overpaid during my employment by $197 & I need to pay before they’ll confer my degree 😎

I love Mimi Aung! She flies helicopters on Mars. She humble. And she is a rock star. Thank you for coming on.
Congrats @nasa and @nasajpl on such a historic week!
