Die Gravitation ist die einzige Grundkraft, die sich bisher einer quantenmechanischen Beschreibung entzieht. Mit einem auf 10 Millikelvin gekühlten Pendel wollen #MIT-Forscher dieses fundamentale Rätsel nun experimentell angehen. https://winfuture.de/news,151101.html?utm_source=Mastodon&utm_medium=ManualStatus&utm_campaign=SocialMedia
We're in the process of scanning 48 bankers boxes of the MIT MULTICS archive. We'd like to get a decent high speed document scanner to make this process go easier. Can you help us with a donation? https://sdf.org
Once the scanning is complete all of these will be made available online for everyone.

#MIT Asks #arXiv To Take Down #Preprint Paper On #AI and Scientific Discovery
"MIT has no confidence in the provenance, reliability or validity of the data and has no confidence in the veracity of the research contained in the paper. Based upon this finding, we also believe that the inclusion of this paper in arXiv may violate arXiv's Code of Conduct."
The paper by Aidan Toner-Rodgers, investigated #AI-driven materials discovery by 1,018 #scientists in a U.S. R&D lab.

"Last year, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology was touting the research of a PhD student on the impact of AI on the workforce that 'floored' professors in the field. Now the university is backing away from it and calling for it to no longer be published. On Friday, MIT announced that it reviewed the paper following concerns and determined that it should be 'withdrawn from public discourse.'
The paper, titled 'Artificial Intelligence, Scientific Discovery, and Product Innovation' snagged all sorts of attention and headlines for its finding that scientists aided by AI tools were considerably more productive than their peers working without the technological aid—but those same researchers making more discoveries were significantly less satisfied by their work. The work was considered a breakthrough, and Daron Acemoglu, a Massachusetts Institute of Technology professor who recently won the Nobel Prize in economics, described it as 'fantastic.'
But the findings didn’t quite sit right with some."
Ouch. MIT just pulled a buzzy student AI paper claiming AI speeds up science while killing joy. Turns out, the data was bunk. A stark reminder that not all AI breakthroughs are real. #AIHype #ResearchIntegrity #MIT
At yesterday's #MIT flea market I picked up this Apple PowerBook 160 for $20. It still powers on but is missing a hard drive I think. Appears to be in great condition on the outside. It even came with its original charger.
If you’re in #bostonma let’s grab dinner. We are holding a meetup Thursday at 7PM at Gustazo in #Waltham. All are welcome!

Yalova'da kendisini MİT personeli olarak tanıtan şüpheli tutuklandı: Yalova'ya bağlı Samanlı köyünde 82 yaşındaki V.A, kendisini telefonda MİT personeli olarak tanıtan ve güven sağlayan şüpheliye iki gün arayla toplam 10 milyon lira nakit parayı elden teslim ettikten sonra dolandırıldığını anladı ve İlçe Jandarma Komutanlığına giderek şikayetçi oldu.

"The Massachusetts Institute of Technology said Friday it can no longer stand behind a widely circulated paper on artificial intelligence written by a doctoral student in its economics program.
The paper said that the introduction of an AI tool in a materials-science lab led to gains in new discoveries, but had more ambiguous effects on the scientists who used it.
MIT didn’t name the student in its statement Friday, but it did name the paper. That paper, by Aidan Toner-Rodgers, was covered by The Wall Street Journal and other media outlets.
In a press release, MIT said it “has no confidence in the provenance, reliability or validity of the data and has no confidence in the veracity of the research contained in the paper.”
The university said the author of the paper is no longer at MIT.
Toner-Rodgers didn’t respond to requests for comment.
The paper said that after an AI tool was implemented at a large materials-science lab, researchers discovered significantly more materials—a result that suggested that, in certain settings, AI could substantially improve worker productivity. But it also showed that most of the productivity gains went to scientists who were already highly effective, and that overall the AI tool made scientists less happy about their work."

E-BAR: Care robot developed at MIT assists with walking and standing up
Older people want to stay in their own homes for as long as possible. A care robot like the E-BAR developed at MIT should make this possible.
Another day, another #spam #email from #MIT, despite the fact that over the past 20+ years I've unsubscribed over, and over, and over, more times than I can count. Every single time they send me an email I unsubscribe, and yet they keep inventing new and inventive excuses for why it's OK to start emailing me again.
One of the world's preeminent institutions of technology can't figure out how to (or doesn't care to) build an effective alumni do-not-email list.
Fuckers.
