going beyond pairwise network analysis in brain connectivity Gudhi Padwa is a festival that marks the traditional new year (though during Spring) for some Hindus ethnic groups. It is also an open-source library for Computational Topology and Topological Data Analysis (TDA) developed by an INRIA unit (indeed GUDHI is the…

101 quantum chemistry, how to start — Among the potential uses of optic hardware and quantum computing, there is chemical simulation. Being exponentially faster than their classical counterparts, quantum computing gives hope about drug development and other chemical processes. This article is not for experienced quantum researchers. It is an introduction to motivate boys and girls to…

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). …

over-click bait, over-sensationalization of AI even when there is little AI involved is damaging our culture — Like many people after the AI boom, I have been literally bombarded by the hype wave, in some cases with headlines related to projects where there was little or no AI involved. Interestingly, I am not alone, indeed I found a review from MIT Sloan warning exactly for this behavior. …

the whole truth and my top 7 websites What’s in this article: having co-founders is like having a love relationship where to find cofounders a special note for people living in the global south In the picture you can see Professor Lola The Dachshund, I am the on the right…

From drugs to device, AI, and robotics This week Paradromics gets one step closer to FDA approval for its brain implant. And Neuralink even got the approval for human study of brain implants by FDA. While it is obvious why an invasive device touching the brain requires certification, it is…

my post-ChatGPT, post-Covid, post-man-on-flying-pig list The world has changed a lot since 2019, from smart working, to constant fear of recession, and currently obsession with AI. While it is true that “agile” mindset is now more widespread and automation is becoming a common skill, certain aspects any founder should take…

This will have an impact both for creating a company and using services, as agents can literally replace employees. Soon solo-startup will have a different meaning Long story short: Autonomous agents are AI-powered programs able to create tasks by themselves, finish tasks, reprioritize, and repeat this process until they achieve their goal. Most…
