@VuelaJetSMART @VuelaJetSMART no me respondió -nunca- a un cambio de fecha permitido por la tarifa de un pasaje para dos personas, por lo cual tuve que comprar otro para poder viajar. Todavia no me reembolsaron el pasaje original, ni siquiera respondieron a mi reclamo por ningun medio #estafa

@VuelaJetSMART Insisto, no puedo comunicarme con ustedes @VuelaJetSMART Necesito solución urgente al cambio de fecha de vuelo que solicite hace más de 10 días, sin respuesta alguna.

@VuelaJetSMART No puedo enviarles mensajes privados, me pide actualizar a premium. Pedí varias veces información sobre mi reserva y nunca me respondieron. Nunca cumplieron el plazo de respuesta de la respuesta automática por email.

@droyktton Hola, ale kolton. Por favor envíanos un mensaje privado con el código de tu reserva para ayudarte con lo que necesitas. Quedamos atentos. ¡Saludos, JetSMART! 🩵✈️

Esta semana, en el blog, reflexionamos sobre el reciente anuncio de la observación de biomarcadores en un planeta alrededor de otra estrella. ¿Elijo creer? 👇 guillermoabramson.blogspot.com/2025/04/el-olo… #astronomia #exoplanetas #k218b #k2-18b #vidaextraterrestre #dimetilsulfuro

🚨Open call: Simons-Balseiro postdoctoral positions in Bariloche, Argentina 🇦🇷 ➡️ On theoretical physics, broadly defined ➡️ Better salary than most researchers 🤯 Deadline: April 10th 2025 If interested in applying on condensed matter, let us know! 👇 cond-mat-bariloche.org/2025/03/11/sim…

@p3x1967 @aborges_alex @lukevanin @skdh Bringing a smartphone to life also relies on decades of fundamental science in physics, chemistry, and computing. Engineers depend on publicly funded research—like breakthroughs in quantum physics and materials science—to drive innovation. It’s all part of a necessary ecosystem.

You’re using the wrong example. Sure, my smart phone is running on a SOC CPU designed by engineers at Apple based on a base design by engineers at a private company in England (ARM, originally Acorn RISC Machine, by the little computer company Acorn). That, in turn, was derived using photolithographic integrated circuit technology invented at Texas Instruments and Fairchild Semiconductor (the core engineers later founded Intel and invented the microprocessor CPU, the Intel 4004). RAM chips share the same basic heritage. Flash memory storage (successor to hard drives) was invented at Toshiba. The hard drive was invented at IBM. The printed circuit board (PCB or PC board) at the heart of your smartphone was invented in the 1930’s in England. The personal computer, which ultimately evolved into the servers and cloud computers we use now, was invented in a garage. Hewlett-Packard started in a garage. Einstein came up with special and general relativity under constraints, as an interest outside his job as a patent clerk. The truth is that constraints drive creativity and productivity.

I'll tell you something about the psychology that is going on here. The content of my video is taking the 5 most common arguments that people in academia make for tax-paid research and explain why they are bad arguments. Everyone who has previously made these arguments is now embarrassed, so they lash out at me. There are better arguments you can make for tax-paid research. But (a) academics don't make them and (b) in the end it won't matter. Because let me ask you this. What makes basic research such a special profession that justifies treating it differently from all other professions by funding big parts of it by taxes? What is different about the knowledge that is produced in this sector of our economy than in any other sector? Why, to use the words of Peter Thiel, who I think is a very smart man, do we put scientists on "governmental welfare"? Are you really that blinded by your ideology that you can't see how ridiculously inefficient it is to finance research by "programs" and "initiatives"? Every time a government puts out one of those, suddenly everyone comes up with a research idea on that. Be that AI or quantum something or nanowhatever. You suddenly have too many people working on one thing and too few working on another. And yes, that's exactly the same problem the communists had with their planned economies. The reaction that people have to my video is ironic in that I remember having a conversation about this 20 years ago, it might have been with @robinhanson And my reaction to funding research in any other way than by governmental programs was exactly the same as that which people have now. (Apologies Robin if it wasn't you.) It took me 20 years to realize that we have no other way to measure what is "good" science than economic benefit. So I'll give it 20 years until you arrive at the same conclusion. x.com/oulis0/status/…

@DiegoGolombek @CiaNavieraIltda Gracias por recomendar este libro, ahora que lo leí, lo rerecomiendo

Salió nueva edición de El último teorema de Fermat, sin duda uno de los mejores libros de divulgación científica de todos los tiempos. ¡Gracia @CiaNavieraIltda !

Ants and humans share a rare ability: each can work together in groups to mobilize oversized objects. In a new @PNASNews study, Prof. @feinermo and his team explored this, uncovering surprising insights into the strengths and challenges of cooperation >> bit.ly/Ants-human-EN

@ezeferrero And it is always true...

La comunidad del Instituto Balseiro se acercó a la Plaza Balseiro, un espacio común en el campus, para manifestar su apoyo a la Universidad Pública. @UNCUYO

@ezeferrero @Lucas_Uzal Interdisciplinary power of statistical physics ✊️

@Lucas_Uzal Everything is a branch of Physics 😌

I guess AI is officially a branch of Physics now, right?

El cometa Tsuchinshan-ATLAS esta madrugada, sobre la ciudad de Bariloche. ¡Atentos a cuando reaparezca en el cielo del anochecer, en la segunda mitad de octubre! #C2023a3 #cometa #tsuchinshanatlas #bariloche #patagonia

El descubrimiento de los cuasicristales naturales tranquilamente podría ser un capítulo de Indiana-Jones (museos, viudas con cartas secretas, compras ilegales, la KGB, amenazas, y la exploración de una zona inóspita rusa con osos y meteoritos). youtu.be/IZEiaF_-FeA?si… 👌
