🚀✨ Science nerds have outdone themselves again: now you can print your own holographic light fields in under a second! 🤯 Who needs style or JavaScript when you're too busy revolutionizing the fabric of reality? 😂

Sub-second volumetric 3D printing by synthesis of holographic light fields - Nature
A new method is described that uses a periscope to generate high-speed, high-resolution projections of light fields, enabling sub-second volumetric 3D printing of millimetre-scale objects without rotating the sample.
🤔 Oh look, Alice is having mathematical tea with the Cheshire Cat in a "differentiable" wonderland, because the real world just isn't complex enough! 🚀 Meanwhile, arXiv, the Wikipedia of nerds, wants a
#DevOps wizard to keep the scientific cat videos running... because, clearly, science can't disseminate itself! 🧙♂️✨

Alice's Adventures in a Differentiable Wonderland -- Volume I, A Tour of the Land
Neural networks surround us, in the form of large language models, speech transcription systems, molecular discovery algorithms, robotics, and much more. Stripped of anything else, neural networks are compositions of differentiable primitives, and studying them means learning how to program and how to interact with these models, a particular example of what is called differentiable programming.
This primer is an introduction to this fascinating field imagined for someone, like Alice, who has just ventured into this strange differentiable wonderland. I overview the basics of optimizing a function via automatic differentiation, and a selection of the most common designs for handling sequences, graphs, texts, and audios. The focus is on a intuitive, self-contained introduction to the most important design techniques, including convolutional, attentional, and recurrent blocks, hoping to bridge the gap between theory and code (PyTorch and JAX) and leaving the reader capable of understanding some of the most advanced models out there, such as large language models (LLMs) and multimodal architectures.
Yesterday we @roylelab celebrated 125 years since the discovery of the Golgi with Italian snacks from my recent trip to Rome with @simonecoppola! Feat. a cuddly Golgi borrowed from a mini @clathrin and Golgi earrings gifted to me by my colleague and friend Thilani! Thanks to fellow Golgi fans Felix Campelo and Ishier Raote for the inspiration - I might make this a yearly thing!

Als Vater mit seiner Tochter einen Filmabend haben – großartig. Als SF-Lektor mit seiner astrophysikbegeisterten Tochter „Interstellar“ schauen und ihr danach beim begeisterten Ausflippen zuhören – singulär!! 👩🏻🚀 🚀 🪐
