Maybe somewhere.
There's some kind of lesson there.
I miss when ideas mattered in machine learning.
NEW ANALYSIS: China's CO2 has now been 'flat or falling' for 21 months
* Down in 2025
* Still below Mar 2024
* Clean energy wave a key factor
If this is China's peak (TBC) it's the climate story of the century so far…

How does Esoteric Claude feel about this?
"Alexander (Smbat) Abian (January 1, 1923 – July 24, 1999)[1] was an Iranian-born Armenian-American mathematician who taught for over 25 years at Iowa State University and became notable for his frequent posts to various Usenet newsgroups, and his advocacy for the destruction of the Moon."
One year, and we're on the brink of war with the rest of NATO. God help us after three more years of this.
Wasn't Eric Adams the one who brought trash bins to NYC?
I'm not really sure how to square this with the US spending 1% of GDP on datacenter construction.
If anyone DMed me recently - to use DMs for this app in the UK, I have to go through age verification, which I have not done yet on principle. If you are trying to reach me privately, email or Twitter DM works.
Ok apparently some people thought I was talking about a movie. I meant the US foreign policy establishment in DC.
I'm starting to think The Blob might not have been such a bad thing after all.
A friend who lives in Denver says that at least sorta soft vaccine skepticism is sadly popular there.
All-around fantastic work from Andres Perez Fadon and collaborators, and this shows how these calculations could be done for systems where we still don't know how to write down even qualitatively correct solutions.
This requires the calculation of multiple degenerate ground states. People have used neural networks to calculate *a* ground state for the FQHE, and have calculated fractional spin statistics in lattice models, but no one has done these calculations in the continuum before.
Rather than write down a solution through a stroke of genius, we trained a Transformer-like neural network to calculate these fractional spin statistics using "entanglement interferometry", and got answers more accurate than the Laughlin wavefunction.
This behavior was so weird and unexpected that it ended up being the subject of the 1998 Nobel Prize in physics. No one even knew how to write down a wavefunction that explained this phenomenon until Bob Laughlin just dreamed one up one day. www.nobelprize.org/prizes/physi...
The collective excitations of many electrons behave a lot like particles...but instead of particles with integer spin (bosons) or half-integer spins (fermions) they behave like they have weird fractional spins like 1/3, 1/5, etc. This is the *fractional quantum hall effect*.
Fundamental particles are either fermions or bosons. Fermions, like electrons, make up matter, while bosons, like photons, are force carriers. But in two dimensional materials in a magnetic field, things can start to get weird...
Excited to share our latest preprint, on using deep learning to extract the weird fractional quantum statistics of 2D topological materials: arxiv.org/abs/2512.15872
Not sure why they bother asking for my age on this app, everyone knows everyone on Bluesky is exactly 39.
I am not at NeurIPS.
The first recorded case of COVID-19 was on November 30, 2019.
ChatGPT launched to the public on November 30, 2022.
What new horror was unleashed on the world yesterday?
I'm a bit surprised that in the era of conversational LLMs, there hasn't been a revival of interest in the art world in Cohen, Frank and Ippolito's "Argument Drawings" www.cabinetmagazine.org/issues/2/ric...
Doesn't matter, information geometry is eternal.
Ahhhhh you worked with Gavin Brown, he chimed in on the other site.
I was really sure that this was not a novel result when I wrote it.
People keep coming out of the woodwork (no pun intended) to tell me that this three-page note is behind the best work of their careers and I am blown away.
I will say, it is a very odd feeling to finally tick something off your to-do list after 12 years...satisfying, but odd.
