This!! I would add that’s why Computational Engineering >>> Computer Science Engineering.

The whole Brin family is a math genealogy tree.

Good math ideas and people will always surpass contrived engineering nonsense let alone product managers with chemistry 🧪 degrees.

@yudapearl Prof, pls give DeepSeek a try. When it about the work we do, it is a different beast all together. Unmatched when deep analysis is concerned.

@VideoCoachTRev @nntaleb Absolutely!! Nothing like Math with Pen and paper. The reason I asked is that if used properly these tools can help with learning and I wanted to know if Nassim himself uses them.

@LensScientific Interstellar dude!! I have watched Dark and it's fantastic.

@PhysInHistory The theoretical minimum series. It’s wildly approachable when the vast majority is concerned.

Palantir CEO Alex Karp on what customers actually want, the real business of frontier labs, and the importance of open source models:

“What the technical customers want is control over their compute, their models, their data stack, and their alpha. They want to know they own the means of production, and it's not being transferred to someone else.”

"Who owns the data? Are the prompts secure? Is this being transferred to you?"

"If it was so valuable, and I can make you a billion dollars, wouldn't I say I'll make you a billion dollars and I want 30%? Why are they charging for tokens if it's so valuable?"

@yudapearl @ConjectureInst Around 80% of my Computational Causal modeling is based on Judea Pearl and Elias Bareinboim. Thanks a ton for that!!

[Wickie @wickie369]

@rlmcelreath Perfect!!

[Math Files @Math_files]

if you are not an idiot, it would follow that 😂

@yudapearl True. Thanks for that 😊

@fchollet The quote by the physicist Freeman Dyson, perfectly sums up science and engineering – "A good scientist is a person with original ideas. A good engineer is a person who makes a design that works with as few original ideas as possible. There are no prima donnas in engineering."

[François Chollet @fchollet]

The true measure of a software engineer isn't their ability to write clever code. It's their ability to ruthlessly protect the codebase from unnecessary cleverness.

[World of Engineering @engineers_feed]

A working nuclear bomb can be designed by three PhD level Physicists in about two years — and that experiment was done in the 60s with them having no specialised knowledge in nuclear physics.

How quickly can this be done without special knowledge using modern AI tools?

[Wickie @wickie369]

@Math_files If it’s a clock, then all the numbers except 6. Just go anti clockwise!!

[Wickie @wickie369]

@davidbessis @Janne_HG I completely second this!! There are multiple times when I have hit a point when it would seem impossible to move the needle, but then few hours later something would hit me and I would gain the much needed clarity.

The thing then, I believe is being obsessed about the work!!

“Work as hard and as much as you want to on the things you like to do the best. Don’t think about what you want to be, but what you want to do.”

@davidasinclair @alliance @ydeigin @lifebiosciences Weird a crypto focussed company talking about life sciences!!
