Next UK Robot Manipulation Workshop will be held in Scotland for the first time! 🎉Save the date (6-7th of January) next year to visit Edinburgh. @EdinburghUni @EDINrobotics Updates will follow at

As a long time fan of @EmpirePodUK with @DalrympleWill and @tweeter_anita, this series has been especially noteworthy for the thoughtful way in which it sets current events in context. A proper understanding of this history should guide our views on hard choices being made today!

With so much disinformation & efforts to rewrite history listen to this new @EmpirePodUK series on the history of Gaza. Any sustainable solution for Gaza and the Occupied Palestinian Territories needs to understand this complex history. Thank you @DalrympleWill @tweeter_anita

Most many not be aware that we have a 60+ year history in AI: https://t.co/b9RTrtOlqV - tried to summarize some of this at this talk. https://t.co/lW21mTYffA

"Hope is about action." Remembering Dr. Jane Goodall, DBE: Backstage at the #ForbesSustainabilityLeaders Summit on Sept. 22, 2025, Forbes' Elisabeth Brier spoke with Dr. Jane Goodall, DBE, about how ordinary people can make a positive impact on the environment. Full interview:

Mature democracies have entered a dystopia: the smaller the injustice, the more extreme the response; the greater the injustice, the deeper the bureaucratic indifference.

"The first step in liquidating a people is to erase its memory. Destroy its books, its culture, its history. Then have someone write new books, manufacture a new culture, invent a new history. Before long the nation will begin to forget what it is and what it was.” Milan Kundera

Israel rejected International Criminal Court charges by claiming that it is governed by the rule of law. But a new report shows "the systematic unwillingness of the Israeli justice system to effectively prosecute” serious abuses against Palestinians.

When you store your knowledge and skills as parametric curves (as all deep learning models do), the only way you can generalize is via interpolation on the curve. The problem is that interpolated points *correlate* with the truth but have no *causal* link to the truth. Hence

The real test isn’t how well you perform when things go your way. It’s how little your mood moves when they don’t.

As a longtime listener of the @EmpirePodUK I should say that this series of interviews with @SamDalrymple123 is one of the most interesting - I learnt so many new things about the history of the subcontinent. Well done to everyone involved, @DalrympleWill and @tweeter_anita

America is far less discriminatory against women and Blacks now than it was in the past. If people are now more able to pursue their comparative advantage, how much richer are we as a result? HHJK estimate that around a third of US growth is due declining discrimination! 1/

Science doesn’t need to go according to plan; it just needs to lead to a discovery. If doesn’t have to be done alone or together with a buddy; there just needs to be a discovery. It doesn’t need to happen fast or slow; just as long as there’s a discovery, then everybody is happy.

Those Western think tanks worried about institutional capacity and independence in Africa and the rest of the "developing world", need to turn their gaze and efforts to Washington DC, me thinks...

The US @StateDept has imposed sanctions on @FranceskAlbs a UN mandate holder for the first time since the creation of the UN and in flagrant violation of its Charter. The EU is bound by its history and treaties to defend Int. Law and must ensure protection of UN mandate holders.

Clinical! #Wibledon #sinnerdjokovic

Our answer to Marco Rubio's sanctions against Francesca Albanese pre-empted the US Secretary of State's ridiculous decision to vilify the UN Rapporteur. Read our letter, co-signed by Thomas Piketty, Nassim Taleb, Michael Hudson, Guy Standing, Jayati Gosh, Giuseppe Mastruzzo,
