- Replying to @_georgina666Yeah, I've always thought dating should be more like cage fighting.
- Replying to @JUNlPERI mean, I hate both of them but it's incredible that Biden's PR team didn't realize that going to East Palestine is *obviously* the correct move, like what.
- Diffusion (as popularized by DALL-E & friends) for molecular relaxation is finally out-out!

Great new work by Klaus-Robert Müller, Shinichi Nakajima @stevain et al @ml_tuberlin @bifoldberlin @RIKEN_AIP_EN @BASF - 'Molecular relaxation by reverse diffusion with time step prediction' - iopscience.iop.org/article/10.108… #machinelearning #compchem #forcefields #molecules #quantum #AI 
- I'm never afraid to ask my academic advisor basic questions or have him reëxplain something to me. He takes a lot of time for meetings etc. I feel anything else would be borderline unacceptable. I'm very happy to enjoy this privilege. #PhDChat #AcademicTwitter @AcademicChatter
- Replying to @nateffoeconomist: 'scientists nowadays are ideologues, do your own research' also economist: 'yeah, this random arxiv paper written in microsoft word and an undergrad-style ref list is a good source'
- Replying to @fermatslibraryThe 8 corners can be arranged in 8! ways, where each has 3 possible orientations, 3^7, because the 8th can be determined from the last 7). There are 12! arrangements for the corners (divided by 2 to line up with corners), each with two orientations, 2^(12-1), as before.
- The Swiss party that was squeamish about women's suffrage in 1971 (yes, you read that right, 1971) just won an Islamophobic referendum to ban burqas, arguing that it is liberating for the women in question. Shameful day. #CHVote #Burkaverbot
- I passed my PhD defense!🎉 Due to a big chunk'o luck (and sweat), I ended up with a very kind and inspiring research group and PI, which made the whole thing truly a fun experience. Pics: 10 s after I passed; 3 h after I passed with proud parents (I'm first gen!!)
