My early Linux user history
Here is a photo of the Linux distributions I used before the operating system was available through the internet. The first one was DLD (Deutsche Linux Distribution).
All through this time I only used happily Linux for all my activities. Linux was a real revolution for my work close to computational and condensed matter physics. It totally changed the access to computational infrastructure
UMA: A Family of Universal Models for Atoms
https://ai.meta.com/research/publications/uma-a-family-of-universal-models-for-atoms/
family of Universal Models for Atoms (UMA), designed to push the frontier of speed, accuracy, and
generalization. UMA models are trained on half a billion unique 3D atomic structures (the largest
training runs to date) by compiling data across multiple chemical domains, e.g. molecules, materials,
and catalysts.
An interesting speculation about gravity.
Could gravity be evidence that the universe is a computer simulation? My new study suggests why this might be so
> Suppose the law of gravity is simply a byproduct of the universe operating under a computer-like code.
#Computational #Complexity theory studies the resources, like time and memory, required to solve computational problems.
It classifies problems based on their inherent difficulty, helping us understand the limits and capabilities of algorithms.

Following this week announcement by curator Carlo Ratti (CRA-Carlo Ratti Associati), about the 2025 Venice Biennale of Architecture, we’re happy to announce that fabric | ch will take part to it.
We’ll post more until May about our contribution, among many voices, to this year’s “Intelligens. Natural. Artificial. Collective.” Biennale #fabricch #architecture #contemporary #planetary #intelligens #intelligence #computational #natural #material

Another big win for #Computational #Science! Our #GPU Programming Workshop wrapped up successfully! This workshop empowers participants to harness GPU power for faster, smarter computing. Thanks to all the participants and instructors!
Die Erforschung der Abwärtsspirale – Dr. Jochen Michely erhält Emmy Noether-Förderung zum Aufbau einer Arbeitsgruppe für seine Depressionsforschung. Mit Methoden der Computational Psychiatry untersucht der Psychiater von der #CharitéBerlin, wie Stimmung und Kognition sich beim Menschen auf neurobiologischer Ebene gegenseitig beeinflussen. Damit will er der Ursache von Depressionen näherkommen. Mehr dazu hier: https://www.charite.de/forschung/themen_forschung/2024/erforschung_der_abwaertsspirale_bei_depressionen/

Looking for easy to use "phylogenomic" computational tools to take a set of genomes and using methods such as gene tree - species tree reconciliation to infer for each gene likely scenarios for gene loss, duplication, horizontal gene transfer, orthology (and maybe even novel gene invention).
A #computational #analysis of potential #algorithmic #bias on platform X during the 2024 US #election. This technical report presents findings from a two phase analysis investigating potential algorithmic bias in engagement metrics on X by examining Elon Musk’s account against a group of prominent users, subsequently comparing Republican-leaning versus Democrat-leaning accounts. Analysis reveals a structural engagement shift around mid-July 2024 https://eprints.qut.edu.au/253211/
In #Berlin on November 22nd, 23rd or 24th? I'll be presenting some of my real-time #algorithmic #computational #AILess work at Knock Hard, in Wedding. I would be very happy to see you there 
Modeling experiments show weather-changing El Niño oscillation is at least 250 million years old

Yes. Rosen distinguished between #modeling and #simulation, arguing that the latter is not based on a genuine form of modeling relations.
So, as I've said, he questions the validity of using #computational approaches in biology, not reductionism per se, which is a much larger philosophical topic explained in another Wikipedia article

"In fact, the first 45 words an officer utters – roughly the first 27 seconds of a stop – predict whether that stop will end with the officer handcuffing, searching, or arresting the driver.”

If you want to start your own research group in NRW (a state in Germany) the Return program ("Rückkehrprogramm") may be for you. For details follow the link below. In short: you have lived in Germany before, have spent some time abroad as postdoc, and you are doing / planning work in computational research (official topic: "future computing"). Deadline January 9, 2025. Please boost.
