Yes, the quantum tech industry needs PhDs, but as a career move, I don’t think it’s the best bet. Why? Read my blog post here: aggiebranczyk.com/blog/2025/ph... #quantumcomputing #quantum #careers #phd 🧪

🗿📜 Did you know that statues are not the only wonder of ancient culture found on Easter Island? Besides the monolithic human figures known as moai, another great puzzle seen in this southeastern Pacific Ocean island is rongorongo, a mysterious system of glyphs carved on wooden tablets. 🧵⬇️ (1/6)

This semester, I am considering modifying the participation portion of my course: a small % of the overall grade will require identifying a relevant Wikipedia page, and creating/improving it. Any experience in doing so, and advice on pitfalls to avoid? The side goal being to help improve Wikipedia.

My lab has a tradition that each week one person contributes edits to a Wikipedia page relevant to their scientific work, and then presents it briefly at lab meeting (and we clap). A few of my favorites: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proprio... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chionea en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Femoral...

learned that overleaf is down today, so a good chance to advertise typst.app it's a "new latex" if you will. once you go typst, writing latex (and using overleaf) will feel like ancient technology, so use with caution (in particular if you still depend on latex submissions to journals 😬)

Asking the following earnestly: what is the strongest case for GANs standing the "test of time"? Are they important 10 years later in modern ML research? How have they influenced the way we think about generative models today?

Few people even know about this; when people are asked in surveys how child mortality has changed the majority says it has stagnated or increased. If you consider that many don't know about humanity's biggest achievement, then it's not surprising that many are so pessimistic about our future.
