So IIUC, the position of the UK government is that Israel's actions in Gaza are so grave that there must be immediate recognition for a Palestinian state, but also that if you wear a shirt that says "Palestine Action" you are supporting a terrorist organization and should be arrested.

Ok maybe this site has the sauce.

Genuinely don't think I've ever seen a ratio this big. Certainly not on a post this obviously correct.

I have friends who live next to this road-turned-park. The article doesn't even mention that there is a second major road literally right next to the park.

Trump's approval rating has been fairly steady, but his favorables have been falling off a cliff. Not really sure what to make of this - people are just happy their 401(k) is going up but increasingly hate Trump himself? (Source: Real Clear Polling)

The likely synthesis of "he's an antifascist" and "he's just a gamer" is "his understanding of what fascism is was entirely filtered through the lens of memes, gaming and obscure Discord servers."

These are not new, they've been around for over a decade. They're so old they've already been banned and removed in the UK.

Really this should have been such a blinking red warning light about where a society driven by social media virality was taking us.

Here in the UK, Royal Mail has stopped shipping packages to the US entirely. Private companies like DHL will still do it though.

Can't wait for DARPA to rebrand as WARPA, relocate to London and start releasing critically-acclaimed electronic music.

Oh God they're gonna rename it WARPA aren't they.

I'd missed this in the flood of insane news, but I guess this is good? There was never any reason to shut down the NIST spectroscopy group in the first place, but at least the work will continue elsewhere in the government (unless NASA gets gutted too). t.co/SBwBp6H9mr

A case study in how Cowen's uncritical use of GPT/o3 is causing him to spread misinformation on Marginal Revolution, from @pappubahry.com pappubahry.substack.com/p/misinforma...

Tencent, the world’s largest computer gaming company, released HunyuanWorld-Voyager as open-weight. The world’s first ultra-long-range world model with native 3D reconstruction, redefining AI-driven spatial intelligence for VR, gaming, and simulations.

Two different fish in two different ponds each accusing the other of not knowing what water is.

I think 182 year old research articles should be free I want to read about the man

Have the zoomers doing age gap discourse discovered Harold and Maude yet?

So is the post office actually selling off all the electric delivery vans they bought like last year? Is that actually happening?

Just caught up with a friend doing a PhD in a top CS program. He got double-fucked by DOGE. His grant is in limbo because everyone who knows how to access the money got fired, and all the data that made the basis for his thesis got deleted.

I can post the exact same thing about Israel here and on Twitter. Over there, I'll get the most vile antisemitic shit in my replies, while here I'll get accused of being a vile antisemite.

Hope springs eternal. Let's see if RFK Jr actually lets them spend it on anything.

Pathetic that this is where we're at now.

New work with Douglas Hendry and Alessandro Sinibaldi: Grassmann Variational Monte Calro with neural wave functions arxiv.org/abs/2507.10287 This is a formalization and an extension (e.g. natural gradient descent-wise) of the nice excited-state framework for VMC developed by @davidpfau.com et al.

I'll be at ICML this week, presenting our paper on Wasserstein Policy Optimization on Tuesday! If you're in Vancouver, come say hi!

I really wish it was killing thousands of children across the globe, destroying our scientific institutions or all the, like, actual fascism that turned people against him, but if it's the Epstein thing that does it...fine, whatever. Live by the conspiracy theory, die by it.

non-ironically, there's much more tech innovation going on in a trench dugout near the frontlines in Ukraine than San Francisco

Doubly bizarre because AC is fully electrified, while heating is still mostly gas. Every eco-conscious person is pushing for heating to be electrified so that it automatically becomes green as the grid becomes green. But somehow the same logic doesn't apply to AC here?

I'm tempted to gloat about this, because it confirms basically all of my biases, but I actually wonder if this is the sort of study where the results change dramatically based on very subtle differences in how it's set up.

You are loved. You are free. Goodnight.

Are there LK-99 truthers out there? Like is there a whole underground world of people who treat it the way some people treat ivermectin? I assume there aren't, because if there were, one would probably be Secretary of Energy right now.

The lack of small-l liberalism in the UK is really, really bad.

Ok, while we're doing ethnic categorization discourse, folks in the US might be amused to know that here in the UK, they break down "white" on most forms into subcategories, but only British, Irish and Other.

John Thune both looks like and has the name of a Superman villain.

If the DeepMind future (AlphaFold, open publishing) had won out over the OpenAI future (ChatGPT, closed APIs), AI would still be coded as left-wing.

Nazi Germany did literally ban Nature: "Articles are often published in the London weekly scientific journal Nature containing outrageous and vile attacks on German science and the national socialist state. The journal must therefore be excluded from general use in the scientific libraries."

They keep sending us more and more urgent messages.

Surreal to think that for the next several years, it's going to be an article of faith among conservatives that *New York City* is a dangerous place to be Jewish.

Europe needs to understand that the presence of AC is way more important for climate adaptation than the absence of AC is for preventing climate change.

From about 2013-2022, the highest impact thing you could do for AI in the tech industry was publish in academic venues. You didn't have to choose between climbing the ladder and doing open science. Now that world is gone, and I'm still not sure how to navigate this new world.

Proud to announce that my stealth team has made a breakthrough that will unlock the next leap: artificial HYPER intelligence, which will make ASI look like a weak and stupid baby. The $1tn seed round for our company, Safe Hyper Intelligent Technologies, is already oversubscribed.

it's insane how good LLMs are given how bad they are

Philip K Dick correctly predicted how annoying the future would be, and I think it’s because he was a Bay Area guy

Honestly loathe that abundance stuff is probably just gonna shape up into a left-punching pro-privatization donor pleasing soiree instead of state-capacity building labor liberalism

Anyway, probably more impactful in any case to participate in something like sciencehomecoming.com and encourage others to do so too. Will reach many more people not on social media.

It is because of this exact, specific stuff that I started posting on Twitter again. This science stuff is important.

Ok now that we've all had a good laugh, I am, uh, extreeeeeeeemely curious to see what all the Elon loyalists with root access to every single database and payment system in the US government do tomorrow.
