Here at [famous scientist’s name].ai, we’re developing tools to accelerate science. Unlike academia, which has stifled the production of high quality scientific work by demanding it be correct, here at [fsn].ai, we know that you can just do (wrong) things.

@littmath At the same time, we are close to using models embedded in verifiable domains. Reducing oversee to the translation from natural to formal language.
I expect the same will happen in software, very soon.

I find it so disorienting chatting with frontier LLMs about fancy math stuff. The deduction in the last sentence below is nonsense; I suspect there is not a single living human who knows what "Green-Lazarsfeld generic vanishing theory" is and who would make the same error.

@Yampeleg You are heating water significantly, implying a major consumption of power in order to convert to heat.

AI datacenters use NO water.
NONE. ZERO.
- They pull water in.
- Cool the computers.
- Then immediately pump it out back to the same source.
NO loss. NO “consumption”. NO impact.
“AI draining water” is pure fiction.

This is the single most massive factual error in a major book I've ever personally noticed on my own, and I think I'm the first person to notice it? Empire of AI asserts that a data center is using 1000x as much water as a city. In reality, it's 22% of the city's water.

Your brain changes every time you break a routine.

Yeah, a lot of us are shocked.

The highest court in the land ruled that there is, in fact, no such thing as a transgender child. I’m still in shock.

In a stunning experiment, mice with a fatal childhood brain disease (Leigh Syndrome) lived 4x longer just by breathing less oxygen.
Instead of dying at 2.5 months, they lived nearly a year - and brain scans showed damage actually reversing.

Manu Prakash has invented “frugal science” tools that drastically reduce the cost of diagnosing malaria. In a conversation with @mollymherring, he discusses the advantages of following curiosity: “Observation is a practice, and if you don’t practice, you lose it.” quantamagazine.org/how-paradoxica…

Today I saw an image of how autistic people walk.
I didn’t know people actually have a name for this behavioural pattern which is “Continuous Dijkstra”
