A neat little introduction to an important field in computer science. Lambda calculus is often too little known but it has very important ramifications in several fields.

Of course I agree with this piece. You need enough culture in your field to know about a breadth of topics. It will definitely help pick up the next one you don't know about yet or help you build parallels for the tougher problems you encounter.

I mostly agree with this piece. There's lots of room for optimization still so we might see a temporary drop in the energy consumption of those systems. That said, longer term energy consumption is indeed the main leverage to improve performance of those systems. It can only get us so far, so new techniques will be needed. Hence why my position is that we'll come back to symbolic approaches at some point, there's a clear challenge at interfacing both worlds.

Wondering what a Ph.D. is about? This is a good illustrated summary.

This is an amazing example of the brain plasticity. It's also great to have a patch for increased quality of life with a training of only a few weeks.

It's sometimes extremely difficult to get to the original source of a scientific claim. Our corpus of science is so large and complex now that finding where a claim comes from can be a daunting task.

The latest Nobel prizes indeed say something about the presence of computer scientists in other fields. Do we risk to delve too much on theoretical model? For sure using computers helps a lot, we have to be careful about not loosing empirical validation in the process.

This is indeed important to be able to run such models locally. Will still require more optimization but it's slowly getting there. The reproducibility it brings is especially necessary for science.

So yes, the climate changed before... now slowly scroll until the end to appreciate how brutal it is this time.

This is great news, more scientific papers from the past decades will be accessible to everyone.

Ever wondered how planes fly? What the Navier-Stokes equations lead to in practice? This is the right article.

They really outdid themselves this time. One hour of bliss, it's really well done.

Very interesting dive into where this theory comes from and how wrong it is.

Lots of good answers in there... It provodes plenty of rabbit holes to follow.

Very welcome tool, well done as well.

This is well deserved. She's doing a very important work for the progress of science. All those pay walls are nonsense.

Definitely this. It takes time of course, I don't do it nearly enough... I never regretted it though.

We still don't really know (actually it's super hard to have a definitive reason on this topic). This article presents more of a theory based on geometry... and this is interesting, we often don't think about this kind of things.

OK definitely surprising research. Some of the results are interesting. Clearly it shows a high level of socializing with those birds.

Very nice resource if you wondered about the journey to space.
