For one billion years, the length of day was stuck at 19 hours by the close proximity of the Moon: https://t.co/p3NoxxJgRg Then, as soon as the daylight hours got longer again, photosynthetic production exploded, causing an oxygen crisis that plunged Earth into a global snowball.

Plan B for saving a billion people from heat death A deep dive into Stardust Solutions’ geoengineering initiative just dropped: “You can actually stop global warming.” “The era of the geoengineering startup has seemingly arrived. The funding announcement represents a coming

DNA sequences are computer code! It was a pleasure to explore John Von Neumann's theory on life as a form of computation and the lessons we can learn from modern AI systems with @ecsquendor on @MLStreetTalk: https://t.co/wgl4cPtOix Thank you for the thoughtful questions!

This chart got plucked from a video (slides weren't shared) This is good early signal about how to communicate results of interactive benchmarks This data was from authed online play, post v3 launch we'll release the actual first-run by human data we collect

it sucks that you get near linearly more work done the more time you spend. imagine if there was dedicated time boxes spread out where no one can do any work so you can do stuff without feeling like losing

Wrote a 1-year retrospective with @a1zhang on KernelBench and the journey toward automated GPU/CUDA kernel generations! Since my labmates (@anneouyang, @simran_s_arora, @_williamhu) and I first started working towards this vision around last year’s @GPU_mode hackathon, we have

I've read about ZTF SLRN-2020 event where a star basically ate it's own planet. So I decided to try and depict this from a planet's perspective. It's atmosphere evaporating and getting ripped away by the star. I know it probably did not looked like that, I just tried to have fun.

Any challenge to the status quo is considered crazy, wrong, stupid, and morally condemned, until people see the benefit.

One of the quiet privileges of academia: you spend your days surrounded by some of the brightest people on the planet — all trying to understand something deeply. Not to sell it, not to exploit it, just to understand. That changes you.

Generative dynamics: accelerating atomic transport up to 600,000× Simulating how atoms move inside solids—like lithium ions in a battery—is one of the hardest computational problems in materials science. Traditional ab initio molecular dynamics tracks every atom at femtosecond
