Hey quantum bsky!

Does any have any experience with becoming a Trusted Reviewer for Springer? Seems like the commitment is quite high for getting that title; you need to review one paper a month for them.

Interested in hearing anyone's thoughts on this.

Using #RStats to simulate the sky for the full day of July 30th, 2025 in Washington, DC

(what's coming in the future for #rayshader: give a lat, long, and time of day, and render an image with not only the exact sun orientation at that time, but a realistic simulation of the atmosphere as well🧑‍🍳 🤌)

This is an uninterrupted minute of Maruay the rescued tiger with his beloved ball..🥰😇 #bluesky

Yes.

The Open Molecules 2025 (OMol25) Dataset, Evaluations, and Models Machine learning (ML) models hold the promise of transforming atomic simulations by delivering quantum chemical accuracy at a fraction of the computational cost. Realization of this potential would en...

It's finally done (enough for a preprint)! Today, in collaboration with so many folks at Meta (shout-out Daniel Levine and Muhammed Shuaibi, who put in superhuman levels of work), Berkeley, Stanford, NYU, and more, I'm proud to announce the Open Molecules 2025 (OMol25) dataset!

And I bet she will accidentally fall out of a window when the US turns fully Russian style "democratic". But this lady truly has guts. Very well spoken!

Crockett: Instead of the President cosplaying as the next pope, he may want to cosplay as an actual President of these United States.
That means he may have to do a little bit of research and understand that he swore a an oath to defend and protect the constitution.

I am so excited that this is now out. An absolutely **mammoth** amount of work, please give this thread a read ⬇️💪💪

Painting With the Web by Matthias Ott Today’s Web is more complex, unpredictable, dynamic, and powerful than ever. Yet, 25 years after “A Dao of Web Design” we still approach building for the Web with a mindset of control, using linear wo...

Thanks for having me, #btconf. It was an honor! 🙏😊💚

Attention : be prepared for racism. If you are white feel free to explore Eastern Germany. People there can be a bit racist but Whites are usually welcome.

In case Trump wants to expel Americans who have the wrong political opinion...

Every dollar invested in quantum computing is one dollar less to build stuff that kills people. At least in my opinion.

Great. I really need to visit once! What did you study?

What about the military? Normally if you want money in science you call the military. Works quite well for quantum computing at least. A lot of propaganda how it can break crypto.

We have our fair share of anti China propaganda. Concerning South America - a lot of my colleagues are from there. We spoke English at work and there were only two people who spoke German in the office. Amazing people. Very friendly and creative and hard working.

Apropos research and quantum computing - the US might get into trouble of they ban all foreign scientists. That's how Hitler broke his county. Finland and France already have programs into place for American researchers to come over.

I then need a friend with a driver's license. Worked well in France. I provided the local language skills and my friend drove the car.
About Canada I only know that they have a very vibrant quantum computing community with excellent researchers.

Canada would work though. Quebec would be a bit difficult as they du speak a really weird dialect but the rest is fine.

I might try the French overseas departments though. They are a part of France so legally it is a part of the EU and I do speak the language. Africa would be fine language wise as well but I'm not sure if those states are not too dangerous.

OK, so if I visit the Americas I should stay in Canada? Might be a bit cold though. Given that I don't have a driver's license transportation would be difficult though.
I'd try South America but I don't speak Spanish or Portuguese. Would need to bring my friend, fluent in Spanish.

I was thinking about traveling to the US before but I'm not too sure after I read what they did to that German guy with a green card. I have never been there but have heard and read a lot about it.

New study reveals wealth inequality was never inevitable A recent study published in the journal PNAS is overturning traditional wisdom regarding the origins and inevitability of wealth inequality

A massive study of 50,000 households over 1,000 archaeological sites provides ample evidence that inequality is not a "natural" outgrowth of sophistication. Instead, it is a political choice. Which means, kids, that we don't have to choose it.

White privilege indeed. With colored people a jury might think of rapists. If people like yourself should be stripped of their rights you think they could next come for you as well. That's why white privilege works.
