Hey! Come back to X! We open-sourced our recommendation algorithm to emulate the good faith of foss developers!
Some of the unanswered questions at the heart of fundamental physics might be answered by testing if forces we think of as constant are, in fact, varying. An atom found in Cold War radioactive waste provides an avenue for testing this constancy. www.quantamagazine.org/the-first-nu...
An ultra-precise measurement of a transition in the hearts of thorium atoms gives physicists a tool to probe the forces that bind the universe.
IEEE Spectrum picked up on my blog post explaining my three laws of robotics and republished it. Thank you! And especially for the 12 year old photo of me -- actually I still feel decades younger than that! spectrum.ieee.org/rodney-brook...
Famous Roboticist Rodney Brooks has Three Laws of Robotics from decades of experience in real world robot deployments.

Intentional seclusion, you determined it was toxic to you. How fleeting our human cognitions are; most of them just end up remaining distorted, never intertwined.
My toxic trait is linking or embedding a friend's work in my newsletter and then not telling them, to see if they're actually reading my shit
The Theoretical Minimum, physicist Leonard Susskind and hacker-scientist George Hrabovsky.
If a system is chaotic (most are), then it implies that however good the resolving power may be, the time over which the system is predictable is limited. Perfect predictability is not achievable, simply because we are limited in our resolving power.
In principle we cannot know the initial conditions with infinite precision. In most cases the tiniest differences in the initial conditions—the starting state—leads to large eventual differences in outcomes. This phenomenon is called chaos.
