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.

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!

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!

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

@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.

@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.

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.
