In Plato’s dialogue, the Timaeus, we are presented with the theory that the cosmos is constructed out of right triangles.

This proposal Timaeus makes after reminding his audience [49Bff] that earlier theories that posited “water” (proposed by Thales), or “air” (proposed by Anaximenes), or “fire” (proposed by Heraclitus) as the original stuff from which the whole cosmos was created ran into an objection: if our world is full of these divergent appearances, how could we identify any one of these candidates as the basic stuff? For if there is fire at the stove, liquid in my cup, breathable invisible air, and temples made of hard stone — and they are all basically only one fundamental stuff — how are we to decide among them which is most basic?

A device just a few square metres in size can churn out bursts of energetic positrons that rival ones made by huge accelerators.

This video introduces the self-supervised representation learning and why we need it. It also discusses the entire pipeline of performing the self-supervised Learning (Learning form unlabeled data).

It may seem that Facebook took an early plunge into the metaverse, but the virtual world has been in the making for quite some time.

November 27, 2021 — A few years ago, a little known Montreal XR company was putting its patented technical chops into building out what many think is the “last interface”, one that Facebook (ahem, Meta’s) CEO Mark Zuckerberg is betting the social media giant’s future on. Today, that Montreal company, and some pretty impressive Canadian innovators, find themselves thick in the middle of the Metaverse’s battle of the titans.

The Miller-Urey experiment showed that the conditions of early Earth could be simulated in a glass flask. New research finds the flask itself played an under appreciated, though outsized role.
