Something I've been learning in 2024 is the Julia programming language. It's been useful for my quantum computing work but also... fun?

Cold cold cold london london london!!!

@jalefkowit yikes. As a Brit, I just don't know how to think about America anymore.

London I love you but it's okay to take a moment and chill out too.

So what does "quantum and quantum-inspired software" actually mean? I wish this site didn't just publish press releases without trying to make sense of them. #quantumcomputing

Microsoft compares NYT’s OpenAI lawsuit to movie studios trying to kill the VCR

Microsoft: Copyright law "no more an obstacle to the LLM than it was to the VCR."

Rainy London being rainy London is weirdly inspiring. Why does rainy weather make some people sad and others feel like they can put their heads down and work on things?

@TodePond you can add Quantum Computing here. We're doing out best but the hype makes the real work harder sometimes.

Sometimes some tech bro will learn I, a young woman, work in machine learning and quantum and try to challenge me that "QUANTUM IS A HOAX".

Whatever they challenge me with, I usually answer "I don't know" and walk away. It drives them crazy but I'm not here to argue with fools.

Starting to wonder if Sabine will go "full Michio Kaku" mode and just start commenting on everything in the extreme. I respect her a lot and this is an interesting debate... does #AI hurt #quantumcomputing development?

Where do you go to get your science and technology news? Especially anything #MachineLearning or #quantumcomputing?

I find that it's been helpful to listen to the informed critics of #quantumcomputing. Even as I'm early in my career in this sector, I respect Meta's Yann LeCun and others. While outspoken, they make strong points. https://spectrum.ieee.org/quantum-computing-skeptics

@mathowie wolverines for life!!!!

@rodhilton this is pretty insane. So many brand reputations getting trashed.

@codinghorror that's so lovely to hear. Thank you for being such a big part of so many of us young coders inspirational journey/education by the way. I appreciate you.

I made this super simple guide to the types of AI that you need to know in 2024. Where "you" means "me" and I' am no longer confused about the difference between AI, ML, DL, LLMs, etc <3 I hope it's useful for you too!

This is Dame Kathleen Lonsdale, an important figure in history of establishing the science of crystallography. Lonsdale was born on 28 January 1903 in Newbridge, Ireland.

Her contemporary, the 1964 chemistry Nobel laureate Dorothy Hodgkin, said of her: ‘There is a sense in which she appeared to own the whole of crystallography in her time’.

@OhNoSheTwitnt ouch this is tooooo real!

@christianselig that's a wonderful community idea!
