A typical 3D printer is limited by the range of its nozzle, and can only make objects smaller than itself. A roboticist has removed these constraints by giving the printer nozzle wings econ.st/3SpUaGH

Drone technology has come along as fast as 3D-printing has—so much so that drones can now be 3D printers. Abby Bertics explains, on “The Intelligence” econ.st/3SmX9QC

the first time i listened to karma i thought she was saying comma and honestly it kinda slaps that way

"I heard an explosion and realised my family house had been hit. I ran towards it and saw it had been reduced to rubble. The whole world died suddenly. There were no feelings, there were no colours, there was nothing." economist.com/1843/2023/10/2…

This is incredibly insightful about how desperate life in Gaza is right now:

“Now we’re supposed to be in the safe area, but you can hear the bombs behind us. All of our houses are bombed. Nothing is left.” Hear these desperate voices from Gaza, as Salma Abdelaziz reports.

Some thoughts on the march yesterday: 1) Even by police estimates this was one of the largest 3 marches in British history. We believe there were at least 800k there and we know many coaches got stuck in traffic and didn't reach the start.

Have a lot to say; I'll start from the punchline: -There are many women Hugging Face who have had the opportunity & privilege to speak to press about AI. -We have noticed gendered patterns. So, we put together a resource for journalists on the patterns. linkedin.com/pulse/rules-pr… 🧵

Incredible news!🏆 The exceptional Louisa Cornelis who joined our lab last week is awarded the prestigious U.S. National Science Foundation GRFP PhD fellowship! She will receive funding to develop cutting-edge AI analyzing proteomics data for women’s brain health. Huge congrats! gi.ece.ucsb.edu/news/louisa-co…

On Mother’s Day, The Wall Street Journal reported on Liz Chrastil: the first woman to periodically scan her brain throughout pregnancy, discovering changes in grey & white matter. Our new app HerBrain uses her brain scans to predict a relationship between pregnancy hormones and brain shape.(1/9🧵)

In the 20th century, non-Euclidean geometry transformed how we model the world with pen and paper. In this century, it’s revolutionizing how we model the world with machines. Our review on the topic is out arxiv.org/pdf/2407.09468, led w the brilliant Sophia Sanborn Johan Mathe

Data often exhibit non-Euclidean structure: From the curvature of space-time🌐, to topologically complex interactions between neurons🍩, to algebraic transformations describing symmetries in physical systems💎. How can ML/AI best process this data? Check out our new review!
