AI to find cancer cures. youtu.be/j80j7iKpkMo?... Interestingly it shares many AI agents design choices that I have implemented in the past, such as a using planner, "evolutionary agent" and ranking.

I am gradually giving up with ChatGPT when doing science. It keeps getting all the units wrong!

📣 Competition Launch Alert! Our 11th March ML Mania competition is live. 🎯 Forecast the outcomes of both the NCAA men's & women's 2025 collegiate basketball tournaments 💰 $50,000 Prize Pool ⏰ Final Submission Deadline: 3-16-25 Learn more at www.kaggle.com/competitions...

Interesting AI test on theoretical physics. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q6bM...

In US, it's as if senators and congressmen suddenly vanished or went on holiday.

📢 Submissions are now open for the CellMap Segmentation Challenge. Build the best method for segmenting cellular organelles in vEM using our 289 annotated volumes, 40 organelle classes, and 22 diverse cell and tissue types. 🔗 hhmi.news/410evJQ

43rd in. kaggle CZII-CryoET competition that just ended. Sad that didn't win, but it wasn't a bad result www.kaggle.com/competitions...

It's not about USA colonizing Gaza but rather about control of the Suez canal... as well of Panama.

“There's broad acceptance that AI is going to reshape the research field” A survey of nearly 5000 researchers suggests that using AI for preparing manuscripts https://go.nature.com/4jGCSDR

What would anybody expect from someone who was convicted, almost shot dead, is obsessed with dictators, and suddenly is given he-man powers?

New York preparing for independence? www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Just amazed myself by revisiting the LMAPper.js old software project, so easy to place molecules on SPM images. perdigao1.github.io/LMAPperJS/LM...

Big AI companies are slowly discovering that in order to succeed in AI (artificial intelligence), what counts is not money but having the best HI (human intelligence). www.independent.co.uk/business/dee...

One of the biggest problems with neural networks is that they do not simulate multiplication. Say that the output is expected to involve the multiplication of two input parameters. Mathematically linear layers can never simulate that, neither convoutions.

2025 will probably be the "Year of the AI delusion"

Thinking about replacing coding people with AI? Think twice. I have spent more than two hours trying to get chatgpt, claude, and others to write fast code for randomly swapping neighbouring pixels. None of them worked, and most of the code produced copied values, not swapped.

Gradually moving up in the Kaggle competition

One of the most fun moments at NeurIPS 2024 was the announcement of the Konwinsky Prize. This little clip shows D. Sculley and Chris Welty sharing a million dollar moment. www.kaggle.com/competitions... youtube.com/shorts/J_OHx... #swebench #kaggle #oneMILLIONdollars #neurIPS

Maybe I will get the score just before new year...

Today is the day that I finally completed all Bioshock games, with the first being the last one I completed. Fontaine, who reminds me Trump, Musk and Farage for its mind bending abilities, was too powerful, but got what he deserved, and no more Adam.

Unbelievable. I spent hours trying to figure out why a neural network was not training. I just figured out that the reason was because the default Epsilon of 1e-3 in the loss function was too high!!!

I just discovered that my smartphone had this "slide sense" widget running all the time. No wonder why many of my scrollings were acting weird.

Donation funneling through UK arm of Twitter. www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/is-elo... Would UK X employees be willing to continue working for their boss?

Ebay has become a joke for an auction website. I tried to sell an item by auction. Winning bidder immediately asks for cancellation. Why is this option even a available. Cancellation rejected. No response from ebay or buyer. Ebay should force buyer to respect commitment to buy and force to pay.

LOL, new trick for X/twitter to entice former users to return: attractive women bots start following me en-masse.

www.theguardian.com/politics/202... Although I am pro-rejoinEU, I disagree to workplace discrimination based in political beliefs. In case you didn't know, in UK, discrimination based in political beliefs is allowed, and only the protected ones are not.

Yet another PEBCAK in coding!! Waste of 3 hours. Not even LLM's spotted the mistake when I share my code. This just highlights that I am still a better coder than LLM's as I am provenly better at spotting my won coding mistakes, if that makes sense...

The Guardian will no longer post its content to X
