rant: i know there are a lot of alternative (typically anti-) definitions of "AI" flying around, but i just thought of another one: Actual Insanity! anyone who has done serious work with finite precision #arithmetic, #linear #algebra, #statistics, #computational #modeling, or #numerical analysis, knows that minimizing the number of parameters is essential for building truly explanatory models. but establishment scientists have collectively signed onto the idea that large models are intelligent

My early Linux user history

Here is a photo of the Linux distributions I used before the operating system was available through the internet. The first one was DLD (Deutsche Linux Distribution).

All through this time I only used happily Linux for all my activities. Linux was a real revolution for my work close to computational and condensed matter physics. It totally changed the access to computational infrastructure

UMA: A Family of Universal Models for Atoms
https://ai.meta.com/research/publications/uma-a-family-of-universal-models-for-atoms/

family of Universal Models for Atoms (UMA), designed to push the frontier of speed, accuracy, and
generalization. UMA models are trained on half a billion unique 3D atomic structures (the largest
training runs to date) by compiling data across multiple chemical domains, e.g. molecules, materials,
and catalysts.

An interesting speculation about gravity.

Could gravity be evidence that the universe is a computer simulation? My new study suggests why this might be so

https://theconversation.com/could-gravity-be-evidence-that-the-universe-is-a-computer-simulation-my-new-study-suggests-why-this-might-be-so-255913

> Suppose the law of gravity is simply a byproduct of the universe operating under a computer-like code.

Update on my attempt to be a good scientist and avoid sloppy work when evaluating my proposal for large (think 10s to 100M) scale frailty survival models. This FAFO of mine is why you should never skip pilot experiments before running away with formal designs. #computational #stats #datasci
