endlessly funny that the people obsessed with hyperoptimising their bodies (avoiding alcohol, obsessing about sleep & nutrition etc) are mid PMs or web3 VCs or whatever while the great men of history drank bollinger with lunch and constantly popped amphetamines

The benefits of clear writing: articles with concrete language, examples, active voice, and common (vs. technical) words are better cited. Articles +1 SD clearer got 157 more Google Scholar citations than comparable articles with less clear writing #AcWri #AcademicTwitter 😎 https://t.co/YE65gK8SHQ

When an academic’s terrible income is supplemented by a high-earning spouse, that’s what’s known as a Fellowship of the Ring

Emerging technologies are exponentially transforming the future of EVERYTHING. If you want to get up to speed (fast), listen to these:

In the mid-1940s, only 10% of engagement rings had a diamond. By the end of the 20th century, more than 80% of rings had a diamond. How? In 1948, diamond giant De Beers launched the most successful advertising campaign in history. Here's the story 👇🏻 https://t.co/wJr1sstCHr

The deepest advances in science often come from trying to solve very specific problems. E.g.: Entropy law: getting more work out of heat engines Relativity: reconciling Newton's laws with Maxwell's equations Quantum mechanics: explaining the spectrum of hydrogen (1/2)

1/ SCIENCE will soon also be “done” by AI🧪🔬 HOW? AI will find correlations (some spurious, some provocative) in old + new scientific publications from text + data sources––& generate hypotheses (some absurd, some provocative) Like DALL-E prompts––but in reverse…So…

BREAKING: White House issues new policy that will require, by 2026, all federally-funded research results to be freely available to public without delay, ending longstanding ability of journals to paywall results for up to 1 year. Coverage coming on @ScienceInsider. https://t.co/HijntoZFDN

I collected a list of resources for my future doctoral students @UniFAU at the @CogCoVi lab - on 1st of October, my first 3 doctoral students will start their adventures: here is the collection of all those resources that are hopefully helpful and might also help others? 1/n https://t.co/pfMsbbBZo8

I do not have “magical” discipline and focusing ability — I struggle with distractions like everyone else. Often it is better to just remove the option to distract yourself instead of fighting he urges. When I decided to get serious about my AI work, I made a few changes: \

too academic for industry, too industrial for academia, just in time to work in machine learning engineering

Whenever I teach academic writing I tell my students a couple of things I strongly believe are fundamental. First, to learn how to write, you need to read. Second, to learn how to write well you need to read folks who write well, whose prose is clear, and whose style you like.
