With apologies to Greenspun: "Any sufficiently complex distributed system contains an ad hoc, informally-specified, bug-ridden, slow implementation of half of MPI." #distributedcomputing #mpi

If the endless "some people optimized LLMs" news is starting to bore you, check out our preprint on neuromorphic-compatible neural circuits that can solve sparse linear systems. arxiv.org/abs/2501.10526 This opens up some exciting new doors for brain-like algorithms! 🧪🧠🤖 #NeuroAI #Neuromorphic

"You're only really intelligent once you generate an arbitrary amount of profit for shareholders" is possibly the most American thing I've ever heard. techcrunch.com/2024/12/26/m... #ai #microsoft #agi

youtu.be/uETMl1SKXcY?... Love this control system that's basically just a handful of simple dynamical systems. No electronics! #dynamicalsystems

Fun morning reading! Thanks to @brainsandmachines.net for introducing us to Dr. Katy Schuman's work!

I use thermodymmic tronpriteirs in my research, give me money. freethoughtblogs.com/pharyngula/2...

There should be a 2 hour star wars movie that's 100% scrolling text, which is minutes from the Galactic Republic Federal Reserve Bank debating how many basis points to adjust interest rates.

Thanks for sharing this! I need to design experiments for optimizing parameters controlling a physical process. Increasing the "tested in the lab" sample size costs 💰 and time. This is a great jumping-off point for refreshing my stats knowledge, as well as saving some time and money for my client!

Got the new (to us, anyway) CNC mill working today! #cnc #nomad883 #machining #carbide3d

Wow, I would loved to have had some "ride along in the disk's frame of reference" videos of spin coating like this when I was in grad school doing fluid dynamics simulations with multiple liquid layers. #fluiddynamics #simulation #spincoating www.youtube.com/watch?v=g9py...
