Hey @danielwhiteson.bsky.social, I was listening to an episode of @99pi.org (my favourite English podcast), and they introduced a "science Daniel", I was not expecting you on supermarket open refrigerators! 99percentinvisible.org/episode/609-...

In the case of inference engines like #Prolog, or #clips there is a clear split between the logic and the rules. OK small #llm can be as good or better than large ones at logic, but what about the knowledge itself? The niche knowledge about an obscure Renaissance painter must be stored somewhere..

Late in the game but “oh this was not a nazi salute, Elon is autistic and can’t quite control his body” is the most woke statement ever.

A must read I recommend to interns and experienced physicists alike around me! For the record: this is the original #xgboost post on 17th May 2014 on HiggsML competition (I helped organise) kaggle forum, from Bing Xu who was working with Tianqi Chen at the time: www.kaggle.com/competitions...

In western France in April, I heard the drumming of a Great Spotted Woodpecker. I hear it all day in the same tree, but at one point, the rhythm was odd: this time, it’s a Lesser Spotted Woodpecker! In 30' with a scope, I managed to capture both woodpeckers taking turns on the same “drum” #birds

All these posts about how #deepseek handles Tien'anmen or Xianjang (badly, are you surprised ? ) while the real question is: Does the farmer row back to fetch the goat?

Don't mind me, I'm just watching the video of the slug on the hamster wheel, from the study's supplementary materials.

Evaluating applications to various calls, I'm always puzzled by: - those who re-use off-topic proposals. What do they hope really? - worse, the good ones that can't be bothered reading submission instructions. 1/2 of the applications dumped in minutes, good for me, but really sad #academiclife

I'm curious : has someone listed what #Trump did during his 1st mandate which #Biden 1) has undone 2) has tried to undo but could not 3) has not undone because, after all, this was actually a good thing

I have indefinitely frozen my account on the other platform, which is now officially na$i. I saved my archive and transferred my network with #helloquitx. Pfew, that feels sooooo good!

Bird migration—a pleasant useless scientific topic. And then, boom, knowing which birds go where and when suddenly becomes a major public health issue.🧪

First poster session at #neurips (600 posters... 3400 more to go....), my main impression is that I am happy to see a number of posters (not enough but still) about a specific AI issue and science, whether climate, material, agronomy etc... While this was very rare at my last neurips in 2019

Not sure it is the right thing to do, but I just created my personal French account @davidhrousseau. With science and AI but also more personal stuff, birdwatching, bike activism and more. Join me there!

#Indico is the most valuable contribution of #cern to humanity this century. I m at #neurips the >10000 attendees AI conference. Physicists, can you imagine the speaker flashing a QRcode at the beginning of his talk “my slides are there “ ? Or a whole 90’ session with several unannounced talks ?

For those at #neurips I could not resist creating the “Boomers @ Neurips” group in the conf app Whova. I can’t believe no one has felt the need to create it before.

I haven't been a fan of streaming apps so far. I am listening now, for the first time in 30 years, to the album Atom Heart Mother by #PinkFloyd. My heart skipped a beat at the exact moment where my record used to skip, and I had to lift the needle to move on. Where was this useless memory stored?

@researchdeezer.bsky.social seriously ? I got this piece first in the Debussy play list. There is no pianist indicated. Because there is none. Most soul-less and mecanic piece I ever heard ! More incitation to switch to a dedicated classic music stream app.

Yay, just got my first paper review which is clearly ChatGPT ! It is a “leaning to accept” while the other 2 (human) reviews are “reject”, so should I complain ?
