Haven’t been able to stop thinking about this. Not only is the story itself fascinating, but the way an almost manic intellectual curiosity can characterise all parts of a life is beautiful. A few words on Karl Schwarzschild by Benjamin Labatut (with some fictional liberties):
I'm organizing a seminar series on the intersection of ML and biology with @SeyoneC — to inspire and educate :) Join us in Berkeley for the kick-off with the amazing @peytongreenside next monday! lu.ma/3ztehj5g
new essay but it's less "wow the world is beautiful" and more research-y a loosely organized piece on the synonymity of evolution and revolution: hiyajain.substack.com/p/evolution-as…
just experienced the most wholesome coffee shop interaction I was studying for a midterm when this old man came by and spent five minutes in awe over swiping between tabs good reminder that big ideas are cool but sometimes it’s the little things that evoke the most wonder
A small essay on star gazing, myth, scientific independence and everyone's favorite ancient astronomer (deep down everyone is a Galileo fan) hiyajain.substack.com/p/the-evolutio…
Some observations on architecture and the loss of interesting aesthetics hiyajain.substack.com/p/windows-to-t…
Today I learnt that coffee houses during the enlightenment were called (and functioned as) penny universities and I think we should bring that back
Just moved into the city and can’t help but be very grateful If you are in nyc, I’m always down to grab coffee :)
When a child is struggling at school, often they are seen by professionals (like me!) who assess, write reports and make recommendations. As this process goes on, something strange happens. Here's what it is (with @_MissingTheMark) 1/
Here’s an idea - what if writing clubs were a thing? Every so often a group of people pen an essay on a broad spectrum prompt and come together to discuss, ideate, and feedback Getting to learn something new while becoming a better writer seems like a win-win
Been museum hopping recently and they are great (and highly under-utilised imo) teaching tools to create such vivid connections between art, history, politics and culture. Wonder if there is a tool that curates stories/learning experiences to make them less abstract
Leaving sf today and it has been almost magical to experience a place where so many (then) strangers took a chance on a nobody, where big ideas seemed achievable, and where serendipity is so tangible ✨
Planetariums can be so meditative I fucking love it. Wow, look at the universe, earth is so cool, LIFE.
What makes today evening even more special is that we had 30 of our fellows here to celebrate with us 🥳 When one of us wins all of us do 🙌
Going to be at ASUGSV with this incredible team! Working on a fun project to bridge the gap between traditional schools and higher-ed — who should I be meeting?

Thread: After more than a year of work, we have now launched dataforindia.com, a public platform that seeks to expand access to Indian data for everyone, and deepen the understanding of the country that can come from this data
In general pop neuroscience utterly fails to explain its explananda, and deploying pop neuroscience to 4 year olds makes this comically obvious and for good measure commits a few extra epistemic crimes along the way

Lu suggests "academ-ish" writing may be a sweet spot between papers and informal blogs (e.g. in HCI research). I like the term! I think it's sort of what I do? Qualities I like from (good) papers: - emphasis on depth, pushing ideas to their limits - clearly situating work…
One of my favourite letters, insightful & humane, from Richard Feynman to a former student who was having a rough time I was reflecting on it as an argument in favour of scope insensitivity, or even in favour of smaller problems:
One of the most beautiful of many sublime similes in the Iliad is the moment at the end of book 8 when the Trojans, awaiting a great victory in battle the following day, light watch-fires all over the plain --
When my Odyssey translation came out, almost every headline said, EMILY WILSON IS A WOMAN!!! I spent the next 5-6 years trying to explain why that might not be the ideal headline, and might not say very much about my work.
When I was an undergrad, I was told that it wasn't possible we'd have a malaria vaccine. Now there are two. Many scientific challenges of the past no longer limit us today, and many that still exist today can be overcome in the future. who.int/news/item/02-1…

Content itself can be higher or lower agency. Teaching things historically, as having been discovered, created, established by human effort, is a high agency curricular frame. Teaching history intellectually, as driven first by ideas, beliefs, values, is high agency.
One of the most perfectly crafted songs ever is ‘dogs days are over’s it perfectly captures a certain type of sadness that seemed so bleak but that you’ve finally overcome. Genuine hope and triumph
Recently on @TechCrunch, I touched on the need for more grants. About two years ago, when I was looking for grants to support a year-long independent research project in the US, I only had one option — @tylercowen’s Emergent Ventures fund. (1/9)
Undergrad researchers are full of potential, but are often unpaid or underpaid. We're launching an institution-agnostic grants program to enable ANY undergrad to pursue life science research. If you're interested in sponsoring grants for future biotech innovators, shoot us a DM!
The core problem is this: AI tutoring will likely only be effective for ppl motivated to learn (which will increase the divide between them and others). And this is largely a question of culture.
~4-years ago, this company started as an education platform for kids ages 4-9. We had 200,000 students on it. But, struggled to monetize. In a moment of desperation, I decided to pivot -- it turned into @_buildspace. Now, nearly 2-years later...it's time for another change 🧵
