Computers set... Getting some essentials out of the office for the lockdown... It is absolute ghost town on-campus. It might be the safest place right now, if not the most serene...lol

Thank you @JeffDean. I may have missed others but this is the first time I have seen leadership in tech arguing publicly against the government assault on science. Academia and tech should be standing shoulder to shoulder advocating for public investment in basic science.
My longtime collaborator Dave Patterson (long-time faculty at @UCBerkeley, @TheOfficialACM Turing Award winner, and fellow @LaudeInstitute board member) wrote a very good op-ed about how continued investing in basic science and technology research is essential for the U.S. Dave

The review/perspective piece "Emergence of Brains" by Bill Bialek (@wbialek, @PRX_Life) traces the roots of the 2024 @NobelPrize back to Geoffrey Hinton (@geoffreyhinton) and John Hopfield (@HopfieldJohn), highlighting their foundational contributions to neural networks. It
A Review on the 2024 #NobelPrize in Physics "for foundational discoveries and inventions that enable #MachineLearning with #ArtificialNeuralNetworks" highlights the origins of this work in physics of living systems and what the future holds for the field. https://t.co/xmT0QKjsWf

Unpopular opinion: I was just at a 3-day meeting at @FlatironInst where the momentum, depth of discussion and engagement are fundamentally unmatchable to online meetings. More importantly, I was able to drop in and discuss sci w friends and colleagues at #Flatiron_CCN &

Currently, writing a foundational paper on "Connectionism in biological systems"✍️📜, I keep bouncing to this recent manuscript that I released on "Rethinking Physical Complexity in the Data-Driven Era"...I am biased by my own thoughts and can't escape the embedded
Here is another, a new paper that I finished a few weeks ago but hadn't a chance to announce it. 'Rethinking Physical Complexity in the Data-Driven Era' introduces a unified framework for statistical, algorithmic, and dynamical complexity measures. 📜1/n https://t.co/VlkRRAWbUc

Thanks for sharing these @wbialek See Les Houches "Ambitions for theory in physics of life" (notes from Bill Bialek)
The summer schools at Les Houches are a magnificent tradition. I was honored to lecture there in 2023, and my notes now are published as "Ambitions for theory in the physics of life."

Further on the story of a founding father of computational neurophysiology (and founder of @MPICybernetics ): ".....1943, radio operators Werner Reichardt, 19 yrs, Bernhard Hassenstein, 21 yrs, met by chance, each one sharing what fascinated him: Reichardt was enthusiastic

Received this in the mail. Hopefully soon it will be a reality and we see not just khamanei but the whole Islamic Republic collapse into the trash bin of the history. It is time for the renewal of Iran and the Middle East. I hope that @Europarl_EN @POTUS recognize the importance

In physics there is an elegant method for computing the correlation functions called generating function. The idea is simple - instead of computing correlators one by one - you define a function of a parameter and compute the average of that new function. Individual correlators
