@BenBlaiszik Haha didn’t mean it like that, but good to hear :)

@rekumar_ Computational for this one, with domain expertise in a science field. Ideally exceptionally skilled in leveraging all modern tools for accelerating their work. Also this is for a short term open project, we're not hiring away your best people or anything. :)

Who is the most cracked "under the radar" AI for science person you know? Getting a team together for something big.

We’re hiring — reach out. Main reason I work at Dunia is our thesis — work backwards from the mess of deploying materials in industry to find where AI/automation fits, then push hard. We’ve been building for 3 years already. We must make the jump from the screen to the world.

@MaximZiatdinov Same. Cursor chat with full indexing of my project + dependency docs and repos is too good. Definitely not perfect though

Admission: I haven't used Stack Overflow for over a year 😲

@Andrew_S_Rosen r/sankeyplots

Thinking back to the days when I used to moderate r/dataisbeautiful. Ancient history now. So much unbeautiful data...

For those interested, here is the paper and the GitHub repo. Happy building! pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art… github.com/fenning-resear…

The true metric for success here is not number of samples, but accelerated cycles of learning — a truly lagging indicator. Keep an eye on the Fenning lab at UCSD to see the fruits of PASCAL’s labor in the pipeline.

I built a robotic lab in grad school. Last week it made its 10,000th sample. Here's some stats from three years of operation.

@SterlingBaird1 Automated capping is such an annoyingly hard problem. I often imagine a mini version that fits in a standard liquid handler deck slot.

At some point I'm going to get this automated Vial Capper/Decapper set up with a Python API for the AC Training Lab! Lacking in bandwidth though.. if only someone were to come to the AC and work on projects like this 😉 youtube.com/shorts/S3lx9qv…

We're hiring! We are looking for a postdoctoral researcher in energy materials and lab automation. Join us at the beautiful #Seattle!

@darren_lipomi On the plus side, there’s almost no way to use Jet for SEM data.

Do you think SEM is jealous that AFM got orange and black while SEM was stuck with greyscale?

@MaximZiatdinov Hopefully the all-knowing ChatGPT can convince stakeholders of this :p

Clean energy abundance >> AGI

@ramav_matsci Some local places around the Bay Area do a good job... as expected haha. kolkatachai.co is the best off-the-shelf chai I've tried. Pricey though, so usually we mix our own. Looks like they have a cafe in NYC

@dbngsh_mkhrj It's an interesting question!

@dbngsh_mkhrj For me, text cannot elicit the same visceral discomfort as audio or imagery does for me. So I'd say no, to me ChatGPT is not in the uncanny valley. I think an uncanny LLM would have to assume a personality. The current objective tone is too sterile to make me uncomfortable

Is ChatGPT a good example of the uncanny valley? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncanny_v…
