Hi, 🧪⚛️-sky! I thought I'd advertise for a simple dark matter feed (Looking for mentions of dark matter, wimp, mond, axion in the science + physics feeds) : bsky.app/profile/did:...

bing-normaltid-bong! Klokkene går endelig nærere solens gang, og når man snakker om den så 1) skinte den og 2) hadde den ingen flekker

[brag] One of my smartest habits is to paste in my command line actions when I install a new conda enviroment and all big error messages + what fixed them in a big flat text file for me to search for future copypasting

Important discovery that will revolutionise academia! - A Pi = (Pi * R^2) * Pi = (Pi * R)^2 So, modulo a rational constant, A Pi is a squared diameter, but we know that squaring the circle is impossible. From this we can conclude that most faculty do not, in fact, exist.

The Knut-particle was injected into the ring and accelerated, but no collisions were observed

Stereographic Rubik’s

A friendly reminder as Nobel season approaches, the Nobel Prizes are not real Sveriges Riksbank Prizes in Memory of Alfred Nobel.

New proposed definition of chutzpah: rejecting my application and then sending me repeated mails about participating in a 20-minute survey about the experience... 🧪⚛️

Interviewer: can you explain this gap in your CV? Paleontologist: You mean the ghost lineage? Look fossilization is rare and we don’t have strata preserving the relevant time period. We can infer it was very impressive and doing lots of things that would make one hirable though…

Historic view of Jupiter’s volcanic moon Io. The red dot is glowing magma at the Tvashtar eruption site; the blue plume is fine dust particles lofted hundreds of km high and catching sunlight. A rare, detailed look at Io’s extreme activity from New Horizons’ Jupiter flyby. 🔭🧪⚛️ #planetsci

Fun fact: om du har levert inn noen bukser for å sy om men finner ut at disputasdressen passer er det lov å vimse rundt med dress på bytur!

From the plundering of other people's work, to defacing shared community resources like Wikipedia in order to replace them with walled gardens with paid access, to forcing everyone to invest in more cybersecurity, the latest developments in AI have been one endless attack on the Digital Commons.

Jeg har nå hørt at om shopify er noe er det selve sykkelen på fransk, tysk og italiensk i podcastreklamer men har de helt glemt retroromansk?

All of which is to say that these people are, without a doubt, far less responsible than the atomic scientists ever were, even the most reckless and irresponsible of the atomic scientists. The average AI tech CEO appears to make Edward Teller look entirely sober and careful by comparison.

Folkens!!!!

Jeg har aldri fått sånn asmr-tingles av lyd men en gang i blandt når jeg leser noe veldig tilfredsstillende, noen andre?

Om noen andre har lest den er jeg veldig interessert i å høre hva dere syntes, det var spesielt ett som bare traff meg veldig rett på

Dagens hjemkomne sønn er en av favorittløpetskjortene (8-9 år) som hadde gjemt seg i en regnjakke, velkommen tilbake!

But I have promises to keep and mails to write before I sleep and mails to write before I sleep

Hey, your grad student just reached out to me — they are wondering:

Inspector Smile is ready for science! 🫡 This is Smile’s first ultraviolet view showing an auroral substorm. With the ultraviolet camera now operational, Smile becomes the first spacecraft since 2008 to capture the full ring of northern lights around the north pole in ultraviolet light. 🔭 🧪 ☀️

Rose&Regnbue i stuen!

This leads to a credibility gap: to put it crudely, why should anyone trust AI safety analysis when y'all are partying with SPECTER and cashing checks from Blofeld? Why should anyone take analysis of lone wolf/PLA misuse of open-weight models seriously when there's no similar analysis of XAI?

The Facial Expressions of Tethys by artist Julius von Bismarck. A suspended high-sea buoy that moves in real time. Sensors on a twin buoy out in the Atlantic Ocean send live satellite data to motors inside the museum. This makes the indoor buoy copy the exact, real-time movements of the ocean waves.

[job interview] interviewer: so god killed all your kids? job: that's right

Posting chapters of your PhD thesis to answer questions never gets old :)

Who called it the European TramDriver Championship and not the European Trampionship??? 🚈 🚋

Doing my part to make physics a kinder field, I tell myself as I go grab some chocolate to ensure I'm not grumpy when reviewing

Dude, "effective altruist" is not the preferred nomenclature. Bayesian-American, please.

Asymptotic guarantees.
