1/10 ML can solve PDEs – but precision🔬is still a challenge. Towards high-precision methods for scientific problems, we introduce BWLer 🎳, a new architecture for physics-informed learning achieving (near-)machine-precision (up to 10⁻¹² RMSE) on benchmark PDEs. 🧵How it works:

Here's to @LucksLab killing it on @WBEZreset today, laying out the damage that the random ransacking of @DeptofDefense grants means for edu, innovation & water 🚰 🧪safety. "If you wind the whole thing down, where are the new ideas going to come from?" wbez.org/reset-with-sasha-an…

Research that benefits everyone is being cut. This is real. The wonderful people at @NUSynBio are working hard to help people. This jeopardizes all of it.
