You can teach a Transformer to execute a simple algorithm if you provide the exact step by step algorithm during training via CoT tokens. This is interesting, but the point of machine learning should be to *find* the algorithm during training, from input/output pairs only -- not…

Rest in peace Jane Goodall, a true giant among scientists. Your breakthroughs into the secret lives of chimpanzees viewed through an anthropomorphic lens – without yet knowing that science had forbidden it – changed science forever, and with it how we see ourselves.

I was on H1B too when I was a postdoc fellow at Harvard inventing spatial omics technologies. The US is about to lose its ability to attract a major chunk of the world’s top young talents in STEM innovations and hand over their strengths and competitiveness to other countries.

I was on a H1B visa for part of my postdoc. Also when I started as Assistant Professor. Several of my postdocs where on H1Bs. This new fee will affect more academia than tech or finance companies because there is no way universities can pay that… nytimes.com/2025/09/19/us/…

To all who are saying that the H1B Visa tariff is a blessing in disguise…I have just one question, why are all the blessings we get disguised & not just direct blessings…
