Claim: gpt-5-pro can prove new interesting mathematics. Proof: I took a convex optimization paper with a clean open problem in it and asked gpt-5-pro to work on it. It proved a better bound than what is in the paper, and I checked the proof it's correct. Details below.

Everything should still be written in Fortran 77.
🚨: Voyager 1, currently over 15 billions miles away, still operates using 69KB of memory, 8 track tape and Fortran code written in 1977!

I recently published a double blind refereed data sci article about Vasectomy and post-vasectomy pain syndrome. The Conversation reached out to write a news article about it, now published here:
theconversation.com
Vasectomy is safe for most but a study analysing 11,000 social media comments shows that some men are regretful and in pain months after the procedure.

The first images from the Vera Rubin Observatory are simply amazing. The sheer discoveries that lie ahead of scientists in the years ahead are, without exaggeration, incredible. Asteroids, variable sources, v low brightness relics, cosmology, and more https://t.co/R2sg7ntt8F

From distant stars and galaxies to asteroids whizzing through the Solar System, this next-generation facility unveils its first imagery and brings the night sky to life like never before.

Having been on the UK:LSST board since I returned to the UK, these images are simply amazing. I keep staring at them and finding new exciting galaxies & shapes, thinking about how the next gen of scientists will use and exploit them to advance our understanding of the Universe.
Introducing...your sneak peek at the cosmos captured by @NSF–@doescience Vera C. Rubin Observatory! Can you guess what regions of sky they are? This is just a peek...join us at 11am US EDT for your full First Look at how Rubin will #CaptureTheCosmos! https://t.co/1a74X2edp8

Random request. I'm looking for example images of LARGE-scale "departmental artwork" that might adorn the walls of your department. e.g., massive printouts of galaxies on the walls of physics / astro depts; fish / species / cells prints outs in bio depts; anything more than 2D?

On this day, ten years ago... ...we formally kicked off construction of NSF–DOE Rubin Observatory with a ceremonial First Stone event! Thanks to over a decade of hard work by thousands of people, Rubin is just months away from unveiling first images to the world!

Very much enjoyed visiting U.Portsmouth last week for a seminar on ChatGPT in degrees ( https://t.co/wdxRxp8arD) and a second seminar on the Hubble tension in cosmology. Off to Lancaster today for another invited science talk. Fingers crossed for no swans on the lines today!

Scrub a dub 🫧 ...except no scrubbing the delicate observatory optics! We don't use cloths or lens cleaner to clean the giant camera lenses. Instead, our summit staff use a high-speed stream of carbon dioxide "snow" to push debris off of the glass surface.
