October was the month of mathematicians professionally crashing out over AI, and it's looking like in November it will be the economists' turn.

You gotta respect the game. Constant community notes. Relentless ratios. Even the tankies are like bro. In it for the love of poasting.

"And then Paul nukes a mountain and rides a giant worm through to liberate the planet from the tyranny of the most evil sadistic government imaginable" "Wow he's cool" "What? No you idiot, you completely misread the point of the book. He's worse than Hitler"
Herbert wrote Dune Messiah because people were missing the point of Dune so much that people were writing to him saying they would fight for Paul. Paul (with the memory of the all of humanity available to him) literally compares himself to Hitler, and concedes he is far worse

"We inserted this furin cleavage site into a beta coronavirus from bats to help physicians treat future infections in humans"
Purdue University's IDEAS Lab built an autonomous drone that tracks runners through dense forests completely without GPS or cloud networks. By running 3D LiDAR mapping and obstacle-avoidance AI entirely on-chip, it can weave under tree canopies and predict target movement through blind spots in real time. Massive implications for next-gen search & rescue and edge AI.

Replying to @sergeilkp
Thanks but no. I found one of Havens' papers to be invalid. I don't have time for another.

A definitive Twitter experience for me was virologists (guys with labs, academic appointments at good places, and PI roles on NIH grants) telling me I was a stupid retard for entertaining the lab leak theory. It demonstrated that there was no limit to the mendacity that the academic professional class would engage in.

Aelf’s Marriage Tips: 1. If you’re fighting, tell her she’s being unreasonable and emotional. 2. She’s gonna want to talk about her day and her coworkers. Think about it as a fantasy sport—scores, stats, rivalries, etc. 3. Don’t take marital advice from Twitter.
