We often think of our genes as the script of our fate. But genes are not the whole story. New research has shown the extent to which cell metabolism has an important, underappreciated role in directing the development of each of our cells. quantamagazine.org/how-metab…

You donate plasma to help others. I donate plasma to reduce my serum microplastic concentrations. We are not the same.

MLPs are so foundational, but are there alternatives? MLPs place activation functions on neurons, but can we instead place (learnable) activation functions on weights? Yes, we KAN! We propose Kolmogorov-Arnold Networks (KAN), which are more accurate and interpretable than MLPs.🧵

Probably the best thing you'll see today.
In 2017, a group of developers hilariously competed for who could create worst volume control interface in the world.
The results 🧵

What makes innovative agencies like @DARPA, @ARPA_H tick? How do they create entirely new technologies? My colleague @Janika has put together an incredible reading list that explores this: ifp.org/the-arpa-model-a-rea…

Somehow, the boomer/doomer divide over nuclear meant that we ended up *with* nuclear weapons and *without* (for the most part) nuclear power, which is like the most insane outcome. We should not make the same mistake for AI.

The Assistants API is awesome, had to build something...
Open-sourcing "GPTvsGPT" 🕵️🕵️
(109 lines of code)
A simple template to have two AI Assistants converse. What's exciting is the ability to extend these with retrieval, data, and custom functions.

For two weeks we had a taste of what it was like if people cared about science as much as sports, movies, or music.
Number one dream job among youth is a tik tok influencer. Maybe that can be changed if people had more time to think about what science can do for us.

Today might have seen the biggest physics discovery of my lifetime. I don't think people fully grasp the implications of an ambient temperature / pressure superconductor. Here's how it could totally change our lives.

I had a plan for my morning, but when I saw that Smith, Meyers, @cs_kaplan, and @mathbun1 discovered a "spectre"—a CHIRAL aperiodic monotile (one that doesn't require reflections to tile aperiodically)—I knew I had to make one. Here's my 3d-printable file: thingiverse.com/thing:605325…

RIP Kevin O'Neill. One of the most unique cartoonists to ever grace the field. Nemesis the Warlock was Hieronymous Bosch for kids, and it changed my life. A true genius has passed, and I'm genuinely gutted.

It's been ~5 years since researchers applied deep neural networks to texture synthesis and everything has changed... 🖌️
I'll use this thread to collect reviews of key papers in the field:

Another highlight from last night’s talk by @Adanaman at @stbridelibrary – the also-rans in the search for the word ‘viewer’ from the early days of television.
Before the word viewer came into existence in relation to television watching, this was the shortlist of suggestions gathered at the #BBC
