@thechrisperry Feel the same way.

Will I be able to concentrate the rest of the day? No. Will there be any more scandalous information available today? Also no. Is it useful for me to scroll through all of the drama posts? Still no. And yet.

@thechrisperry @dflieb @jakemintz You look so much younger 😂

10 years ago today Bump was acquired by Google -- the deal closed late the night before so we all took pics of us drinking our beverage of choice. Thanks @dflieb and @jakemintz and andybots for bringing us all together at Bump, and thanks Google for 10 years!

@CondMatfyz Love this thread. Mistakes and all!!

3/4📝A humbling admission: a mistake in our laboratory logbook led to mixing the first powders in the wrong ratio🤦 Such hiccups are part of the scientific journey but rarely reported. Nevertheless, the correct mixture is now in the furnace and we will continue our #LK99 attempt.

1/4🌟Incredible teamwork! 🤝🔬 @Yifan_Lv nailed it with precise data plotting, while @Gilad02736300 spotted that our powder isn't Cu3P. 👏 Later, @TheLushMeadow & @AK1MARU__ discovered the presence of CuP2 and an intriguing unknown phase.🧩 Collaborative science at its finest!

@AstroKatie Wow great picture! You coming to the bay are any time soon?

The deer in this photograph would very much like you to know that there is no deer in this photograph 🫥

@RadioFreeTom Rest and vest in tech.

@DevonESawa Stargate SG-1 !

If Jerry Seinfeld rebooted his show for a short 10 ep season, it would be the biggest thing ever. Name reboot that’d be bigger.

@stubbornella Try Madras Cafe in Sunnyvale

Massively craving South Indian food… but where to get it in the Bay Area?

@GreenJDandWords @AlexanderMcCoy4 Thanks! Author Twitter doesn't regularly pop up on my feed. Fascinating.

‘So the self-published YA author who said that ‘reading books is ableist’ turns out to have been a neopotism hire at Lockheed Martin,” I say to my therapist when she asks me how my Twitter addiction is going.

@stats_feed Any good papers/book on this?

Around age 23, the average person falls off what researchers call the "humor cliff": we begin to smile and laugh less and less. The average 4-year-old laughs 300 times a day. The average 40-year-old, only four 😕

@ctrlshifti I think we did this to ourselves. In the early days, because software engineering didn't have formal credentials like other forms of engineering, Software engineers came up with an interview process stressing mastery of theory.

The violent eruption a few hours ago of the Hunga Tonga-Hunga Haʻapai volcano captured by satellites GOES-West and Himawari-8.

@pavluxa @b0noi I got one of these too. Was a bit disappointed.

@b0noi How is it going vs xbox and ps?

Do you folks still remember Stadia :)?

@AstroKatie @Perimeter Congratulations!

🚨 Some news from me! 🚨 I am ABSOLUTELY THRILLED to announce that, as of June 1, 2022, I will be joining the @Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics as the inaugural Hawking Chair in Cosmology and Science Communication youtu.be/fa4cLiAwgVA (auto-CCs at YouTube link)

@j6aer @thmsmlr @adamlaiacano In related news Vertex Pipelines just went GA :-) cloud.google.com/blog/products/…

@thmsmlr @adamlaiacano We took on a lot of headaches to build on top of Kubeflow and the TFX tooling since they weren't quite ready when we started with them @ Spotify. In many cases, we probably would have had similar end-states with less code written/deleted if we sat on our hands for six months.

There's a huge ecosystem of Data, ML, MLOps tools out there. And then there's this. All of the big-ish tech companies are almost entirely using in-house (IH) tools. towardsdatascience.com/lessons-on-ml-…

@mattyglesias Facts are much easier to access than ever. But I think this actually makes SMEs more valuable - because they know which facts matter, and have the necessary tacit knowledge (wisdom, experience, etc..) to apply those facts.

@AriMelber Disagree. They are pretty darn good.

So the candy company Unreal makes a wannabe Mounds bar with "less sugar." It's also less delicious - pass.

@AstroKatie @VanderbiltU Congrats

Today I was honored to give the 2021 Alice Clair Kimbler Hankla Endowed Lecture in Physics at @VanderbiltU and to meet with several of the wonderful faculty, staff, and students to talk about physics and academia and life! Thanks Vanderbilt for hosting me! 🌌

@shiraeis I feel like GPT3 + Tweets complaining about data quality should get fairly close to the cutting edge thinking of most thought leaders in AI.
