Useful things beyond the two hypes — A recent controversial paper tried to define a new formalism for deep learning in terms of quantum fields. Indeed, qubits are described naively as a state between zero and one, and each node of a neural network, similarly is a value between zero and one meaning probability or something alike…

More Machine learning and less chunky hardware — We all have seen this year the video on YouTube with Elon Musk the alive pig the brain implant connected to a computer. One of the speculations was that “it will create super-cognition” (whatever that means). Despite being more on the side of science-fiction and borderline with ethical approvals, everybody…

Current state-of-art tools putting together quantum physics and artificial intelligence Data science and machine learning are definitely among the buzz words nowadays. At startup competitions and conferences I have seen too much. AI-trained beer draft to give you the perfect taste, plastic bag with sensor training IoT systems based on…

From “SMILES” to 3D — Smiles in Chemistry… no, we are not going to talk about the one in the pictures above. Those smiles generally happen rarely in labs or in silico simulations due to failed experiments :-) . We are going to talk about something related to computational chemistry. Briefly, computational chemistry is a…

Fantasy or weird sustainability? “…the inability to image a world in which things are different is evidence only of poor imagination, not of the impossibility to change…” Rutger Bregman What if, people confuse conformism with realism, and seemingly crazy ideas work? Last year Thomas Smith , founder of Gado Images…

moral life from the well-known text of David Brooks to dolphins and turtles If you have been into coaching or self-development or other related trends, you probably heard the sentence “find your purpose” or “live with purpose“. Even without this, I would say that everyone I have met in my life wanted a life with meaning. Whatever this could be. In some cases…

From taxations to health benefits — Last summer I visited a small beach in Lipari (a small island in Italy) I was shocked to notice that the beach did not exist anymore. The place I used to go just few years ago it was now a harbor. It was not high- low-tide effect, the sea level…

why some countries are still behind If you work or are interested in science, probably have seen the meme below. The article was written in 1992 and I can imagine that this issue has only worsened over time. A screenshot of one of the major publishers of scientific articles talking…

Moving from buzzwords innovation to need centered innovation — It is clear that our society has become innovation seeker. However, generally we see incremental innovation. Namely, <<buzzword>> (e.g. machine learning, quantum computing, blockchain…) used in a specific domain… bam! It is true that we are living a renaissance in many fields, and often is given by hard work but…
