Imagine going to the club in 1970 to hang with your friends and a band you’ve never heard of called Kraftwerk is playing and they ruin your night by inventing techno music t.co/sSN5CrGfLc

New research on their communication reveals a complex combinatorial system that challenges our understanding of animal vocalizations.
By analyzing 8,719 whale click sounds called “codas”, using machine learning, MIT CSAIL & Project CETI scientists uncovered a nuanced "sperm whale phonetic alphabet.”

@MIT_CSAIL When I read "If sperm whales could talk, what would they say?" instantly reminded me of Laurie Anderson's 1984's "Mach 20"
@bryan_johnson@elonmusk What resonates most: Your sense of humor is starting to shine through. Your work in deep time is cool, but how you're playing with your own transformation meme is what makes me think "Heh, I'd like to hang out with this guy." :D
In 1890, Henri Poincaré proved the non-existence of the uniform first integral of the three-body problem and the sensitive dependence to initial conditions of its trajectories.
Yet, stable solutions to it do exist and these are some of them. t.co/haECKnWsfp
Found largely in temperate and tropical climates, currently there are more than 112 known species of bioluminescent fungi, out of 150,000 fungal species described to date
Born #Today in 1927, John McCarthy was computer and cognitive scientist: he developed the programming language family Lisp, significantly influenced the design of the language ALGOL, popularized time-sharing and coined the term "artificial intelligence" (AI), which pioneered t.co/oyQ4HK5ebg

Is this one of the most famous equations in physics?
The Schrödinger equation is a cornerstone of quantum physics - the analogue of Newton's second law for quantum mechanics. Its derivation led to Schrödinger, born on this day in 1887, receiving the 1933 Nobel Prize in Physics. t.co/8NGVr606sm

#Ukraine has sacrificed more in the last 503 days for Europe’s security than any country in 78yrs. They fight for us but don’t ask us to fight for them. No #NATO entry now, no Article 5. They just need jets, LRMs & an invitation that tells Russia clearly: #UkraineInNATO is coming
The collective intelligence of a team depends on more than the intelligence of individual members. It is limited by the emotional intelligence of the least sensitive team member
But adding folks with high social skills to a team & improving process boosts collective intelligence t.co/xBFpKP80kN
The problem I’ve had is that when one person is the “driver” in a pair programming session and the other is the ‘navigator’, when the driver uses keyboard shortcuts (while using the IDE for example) things start happening on the screen for the ‘navigator’ but it’s unclear why (because the navigator is looking at the screen, not the driver’s hands)
So, the app I made is a small window that shows when the driver uses any keyboard shortcuts that are triggered with the command, option, control, shift and function keys.
From simple things like Command-C/Command-V for copy and paste to complex commands like Command-shift-enter for code refactoring in IntelliJ.
The main global key monitor that works with Accessibility and keeping the Sandbox intact for notarization by Apple was developed by @karaggeorge in their key-cast project. As their project is MIT licensed (and their code does the heavy-lifting here), this project is also MIT licensed and public.
Scholz slams ‘peace without weapons’ hecklers calling him a warmonger.
🇩🇪’s response to Putin’s war has been & remains too little, too slow. But it’s powerful to hear such vigor from @Bundeskanzler for the defense of #Ukraine. He’s come far. Keep going. t.co/MW6alrfdFT
This is a discussion of why it is so hard to build production software on LLMs: they are slow, weird, make errors & are inconsistent.
Thinking of AI as software results in disappointment. It is usually more helpful to think of AI as acting like a person (even though it isn’t). t.co/HIYxY88Xpn
@emollick To me, "[...] It is pretty good people" brings it full-circle back to Heinz Von Foerster's astute AND charming lecture "2 × 2 = Green".

, thank you for putting into words what I keep wanting to say!
When young founders build something that they don't want themselves but that they believe some group of other people want, 90% of the time they're building something no one wants.

Airgap
This plugin allows you to link to notes in an airgapped vault. This is useful if you want to link to ideas from one vault while working in a different one without the danger of mixing up the two.
Preparation
To use this plugin, you must first create a list of all note titles in your airgapped vault.
Install the plugin in both vaults: Your airgapped vault and the one you want to link from.
In your airgapped vault: Search for "Insert list of note titles" using the command-palette, then run it. Copy the list of note titles to your clipboard.
In the current vault: Paste it into the "Airgapped Titles List" setting of this plugin.
Usage
To link from your current to a note in the airgapped vault, simply type {{ (two curly braces).
This will trigger the search and a list of suggestions will appear. Select the note you want to link to and press enter.
The link will be inserted into your note and will be marked as an airgapped link using an emoji. This emoji can be configured in the settings.
