Einstein on (not) using NL for invention: "The words or the language, as they are written or spoken, do not seem to play any role in my mechanism of thought"

My new article "Toward a science of intelligence: unifying physics, neuroscience and AI" amacad.org/publication/daedaâŚ
published in the Daedelus journal of @americanacad
Its part of a special issue on AI+Science with many amazing contributors lead by James Manyika amacad.org/daedalus/ai-scienâŚ

The bitter lesson in 26 words:
Donât be distracted by human knowledge, as AI has been historically.
Instead focus on methods for creating knowledge that scale with computation, like search and learning.

Sharing âNeural Thicketsâ. We find:
In large models, the neighborhood around pretrained weights can become dense with task-improving solutions.
In this regime, post-training can be easy; even random guessing works

Congratulations to Rishabh Sharma (graduate student, Smarajit Karmakar's group @TIFRH_buzz) on receiving the Simons Center Independent Postdoctoral Fellowship (NYU). With this fellowship, Rishabh plans to explore memory effects & learning-like behaviours in soft matter systems.

Active glasses are dense, disordered structures made up of motile constituents. Simulations now show that motility-driven annealing in such systems leads to mechanical changes, including increased brittleness.

Statistical Physics rocks!
2016, 2021, and (now!) 2024 Nobel prizes highlight the beauty, and the impact of this discipline with groundbreaking results in physics and crucial contributions to other branches of science such as mathematics, neuroscience and machine learning.
BREAKING NEWS
The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the 2024 #NobelPrize in Physics to John J. Hopfield and Geoffrey E. Hinton âfor foundational discoveries and inventions that enable machine learning with artificial neural networks.â

For my freshman seminar @Caltech, it might be fun for the class to discuss some provocative essays relating to quantum science. Here are a few that come to mind. (Some may be too technical but we could read excerpts.) What should be added to or subtracted from this list?
Feynman, Plenty of room at the bottom
Wigner, The unreasonable effectiveness of mathematics in the natural sciences
Weisskopf, Of atoms, mountains, and stars
Anderson, More is different
Mermin, Quantum mysteries for anyone
Feynman, Simulating physics with computers
Zurek, Decoherence and the transition from quantum to classical
Aaronson, NP-complete problems and physical reality
Coleman, Quantum mechanics in your face
Aaronson, Quantum randomness
Aharonov and Vazirani, Is quantum mechanics falsifiable?

I am curious to learn more Rust and totally understand the appeal.
But I still find C so nice, simple, clean, portable and beautiful, aesthetically. It's as close as you want to get to direct communion with the machine.

Just so y'all know:
Every time you push code, you appear on this real-time wall at the @github HQ.

"Connecting videos
We can also use Sora to gradually interpolate between two input videos, creating seamless transitions between videos with entirely different subjects and scene compositions."
