Most people have no problem leading groups of people who are smarter than themselves. Political, business, & military leaders have staff & advisors who are often smarter individually or collectively. Why would people feel threatened leading machines that are smarter than them?

You might have heard about this new "Mojo" language created by Chris Lattner and his team at Modular. If you want to check out what it looks like in practice, here's a 7 minute demo: youtu.be/6GvB5lZJqcE

There's a new programming language in town - it's Mojo! I'm more than a little excited about it. It's Python, but with none of Python's problems. You can write code as fast as C, and deploy small standalone applications like C. My post is below, and a 🧵 fast.ai/posts/2023-05-…

Experimental physicists.

This is absolutely bananas. There is NOTHING like this on the instrumental record. Its likely impact is probably immeasurable. But is it leading our news bulletins & on newspaper front pages? Nope.

Okay, a number of people have asked me to give my opinion about this new claim of "The First Room-Temperature Ambient-Pressure Superconductor". I am not a real expert in superconductivity, but I am a guy on the internet with opinions, so here we go with some early reactions:

I am glad to share that I have been awarded the JSPS Kakenhi Grant for Early Career Scientists. The funds will help to analyze the first data of the upgraded T2K experiment.

It's that time of year when I receive many emails from students looking for doctoral positions. Just for transparency, here are some #protips for finding a hep-ex doctoral position in Europe, specifically focusing on the LHC #phdlife #particlephysics #AcademicTwitter

I never thought that having an interest in poetry would help in writting research proposals but… here we are, exploring the unexpected.

Waiting for an emai, to send another email (repeat).
