'In a binary world' from @natphys.nature.com This is fascinating!! 'These issues are not merely academic curiosities; rockets have fallen from the skies as a result of inattentive digital representations of numbers' www.nature.com/articles/s41... #chemsky 🧪

In a binary world - Nature Physics

The International System of Units is defined in terms of seven physical constants. Ensuring that computers can understand their values exactly as we do is not as trivial as it might seem, say Cristhia...

From one of the many PR emails I'm getting about the government social media ban. Obviously this is from someone selling this technology. But stop to think about just how utterly dystopian this is: *constant* video surveillance of all online activity, for everyone.

To keep our children truly safe, technology platforms need to be installing fused biometrics - combining voice and facial signals – to be 100 per cent certain that the person using the platform is the account holder. This also continuously verifies the person throughout the session preventing any tech savvy child from being able to work around restrictions.

I don't usually post about my day job, but the University of Sheffield is planing a restructure and compulsory staff redundancies within Chemistry. 20% of staff are under threat. You can sign an open letter opposing this decision here #SaveSheffieldChemistry savesheffieldchemistry.netlify.app

I heard this evening about the passing of Mark Ratner #chemsky Mark was many things - a scientist, an educator, a mentor - a mensch - in all the meanings He always said that the best thing about science were the people that do it.

Pro-tip: Before I submit my proposal, I read it again, but after 2 glasses of wine on an empty stomach. Places where it isn't totally clear to you in that state, it not going to be clear to the reviewer. Edit that bit.

I’m looking for an automated way to read others’s scientific data without giving credit or acknowledgement, and also claim full credit for insights from it. And I want it to have a fitting name OAI: say no more
