Neat! Once again, there's evident value in applying a machine metaphor to structures like this - not least because it really is designed!

Why did Monet have no black paint, though? And how many kinds of black did Hals think there were? What are aniline dyes and how were they discovered? The answers are all in my book Bright Earth.
Really interesting. This crucial developmental process is seemingly determined (i) combinatorially, and (ii) according not so much by what is expressed (good old BMP) but for *how long*. #HowLifeWorks

I've just published an edited extract from my book How Life Works in the Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences. nyaspubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/ny…
Very impressive, and promising.
LIGO operates with less quantum noise than the standard uncertainty relation seems to make possible. (This doesn't violate any quantum principles; it's a clever trick.) arxiv.org/abs/2404.14569

The shape of the universe could be totally bonkers, like a 3-torus. "Imagine distorting a cube by bending a pair of opposite sides around until they face each other and then gluing them together. Then imagine the same for the other two pairs." physics.aps.org/articles/v17/74

@philipcball Jesus, Philip - leave something for someone else to do! 😅 (And congrats!)
@philipcball @PrincetonUPress I bought a copy about 24 years ago!
Thoroughly looking forward to this colloquium on the importance of 'Middle Sized' things taking place over the next few days. I'll be speaking on what the Many-Worlds interpretation of Quantum Mechanics might mean for middle sized beings like ourselves.. civitas.utexas.edu/a-colloquium-a…
@philipcball Interesting... CNS expression fits behavioral phenotype pretty well (obviously w/o explaining mechanism). Extra points for the name!

@philipcball my friend in high school needed a product to do an advertising asignment for so i thot it up on the spot. what strikes me about it is it would be spooky and frightening (the fragility) ... but it's not when it's in a mother's womb... pedestrian almost. tho historically...1/n
@philipcball Saw the paper the other day and thought about pitching but, alas, time. But Zahra's done a great work with the story!
@philipcball That’s a marvelous and unconventional album. Here I’m imagining what might she stumble upon next.
@incubus_312 @philipcball After covering an intro textbook like the one Philip mentioned, if you want to get into the weeds of QM the best textbook is the one by Asher Peres.
@philipcball I remember people starting to do research on how to do this 20+ years ago (being in Italy they were largely thinking at Virgo, but a lot of tech is transferable between the two). Just to say that cool stuff can take many years, and many people working on it to happen.
It's a question you've often asked yourself. Now, finally, definitively answers, kind of: shepherd.com/best-books/sci…

Great knows great. Yes, this is *the* @davidrliu. He had developed a neural network model of visual attention, which (unknown to him) was similar to something Hinton was working on. He was only 16 at the time. Did they meet? I don’t know yet.
