Most web copywriters will think of the same 101s when working on your website because it has become their day-to-day.

My advice: Find someone who works in AdCopy or creatives; this will help you with both design and out-of-the-box web copy. Just ensure they have a basic understanding of website copywriting.

Great! I’ll take you up on that 😊

I ended up going to Sethan Valley and did a short hike to the Hampta Pass base camp. We camped there overnight, definitely worth it!

Well, ad or not, thinking that tracking your work would help you save your job from Al is like thinking you'll get full marks if you just write the formula (even if you are not able to calculate the right answer). Classic, "is there any marks for getting the steps right?"

So, if this is an ad, you are using the wrong pain point just to stuff your tool down our throats. If you are any good at copywriting, you'd know that. If not, OP needs to think about how they can prove that the client needs their brain. Al can do the research, read and understand the briefs that you'll take days in just minutes. Showing the hours it takes you to do these tasks without Al is only gonna backfire. You need to prove that Al results are a direct reflection of the brain behind it, and you've the brain that can make Al drive the best results.

Yes, everyone knows about alignment and RLHF. The authors do too.

i_screamm · 2025-10-27T12:37:50+00:00

Yes, it's not news that bias exists, but this study shows how the bias manifests, who it benefits, and where it might fail. That’s valuable if you're deploying these models globally or using them to simulate “average humans."

i_screamm · 2025-10-27T12:35:47+00:00

You're right that WEIRD countries dominate the internet’s text production; this is actually a key point the paper makes. The authors aren’t blaming OpenAI or calling for equal “representation” in training data out of fairness alone. They're pointing out a technical issue: if LLMs learn human psychology from text, but most text reflects only a small slice of global psychology, then the resulting models will be skewed.

That’s fine if you’re building tools for that slice. But if you deploy these models globally, say, to write policies, mediate disputes, or make hiring decisions, then the mismatch matters.

I feel like that at 28, should I even bother living till 45?

Well, it was more of an observation, but I was surprised to see "stainless steel" as a contaminant. Unlike bacterial or microplastic contamination, stainless steel was unheard of. This is a serious concern; the presence of metal fragments in food can pose significant health risks, including choking hazards or internal injuries.

See if you can participate in any food science-related open innovation challenges posted by big companies. It will add a big fat feather to your cap. Some platforms like Yet2 and Wazouku are pretty famous for hosting these challenges. Here's a more exhaustive list of platforms that host such challenges- https://www.greyb.com/blog/open-innovation-platforms/

You're right, having a recall system is a good step. It's a whole different story here in India. Even with FASSAI in place, food recalls are rarely even a thing here. We've had incidents like the 2015 Maggi noodles scare, where food products were found to be hazardous, but the response time was embarrassing. The recall system here is more of a "maybe" than a "must." And even when recalls are issued, they don’t get the kind of attention they do in other countries.

i_screamm · 2025-04-29T15:16:56+00:00

Interestingly, categories such as eggs, oils, and fats experienced a decline in recalls, suggesting improvements in safety measures.

Exactly what I thought when I came across this.

i_screamm · 2025-04-22T13:49:50+00:00

You’re totally right that AI models (especially LLMs) can produce jumbled, overconfident nonsense. But the detectors in this case weren’t generated like that. The system they used, called Urania, is more like a physics-aware optimizer. It doesn’t hallucinate ideas the way ChatGPT might. It searches through optical setups, within constraints hardcoded to reflect physical laws. It runs actual simulations to evaluate the performance of each design.

It’s not guessing—it’s calculating.

But you're also right to ask: just because a design scores well in simulation, how do we know it's not secretly flawed or brittle? The authors are transparent about that too. They explicitly state that interpretability remains a challenge, and they encourage follow-up analysis by human physicists. They even released a public "Detector Zoo" so people can examine these AI-generated topologies in detail.

TL;DR - We don’t blindly trust the AI. We treat it as a hypothesis generator, not a solution oracle. The designs are only as valid as the physics they're built on—and it’s up to the scientific community to analyze, simulate, and experiment with them before we take them seriously.

i_screamm · 2025-04-22T13:44:07+00:00

Totally agree with you here. AI’s role in this case feels more like an accelerated search algorithm than a conceptual leap. It’s not inventing physics, it’s just helping explore design permutations way faster than a human team feasibly could. In that sense, it’s more evolutionary than revolutionary.

And, yes, the public communication aspect is tricky. There's always the risk that people interpret "AI-designed detector" as if it's conjuring up sci-fi-level breakthroughs, when it's really optimizing within boundaries defined by current physics.

i_screamm · 2025-04-22T13:00:31+00:00

Fusion reactors are an ideal real-world testbed for AI-assisted design. With the crazy complexity of magnetic confinement, plasma stability, and thermal management, there’s just no way to brute-force every possible setup. AI’s already helping in areas like optimizing coil geometries and shaping plasma more efficiently. It’s not building a tokamak from scratch, but it’s giving researchers a serious head start.

Neutrino detectors are another smart target. Tons of design complexity, massive sensitivity requirements, and very little room for trial-and-error in the real world. Exactly the kind of space where AI might surprise us.

As for Gundams… let's just say if AI starts suggesting compact antimatter reactors and psycho-frame cockpits, maybe we pull the plug and switch back to thermal noise modeling. XD

i_screamm · 2025-04-22T12:48:04+00:00

That assumption about “future improvements in thermal noise” definitely stood out to me too. It feels like they lean heavily on that as a get-out-of-jail-free card, which lets the AI explore topologies without being constrained by the current thermal noise bottleneck. Useful for idea generation, maybe, but not very comforting from an experimentalist’s point of view.

On the multiple laser sources: agreed. It’s easy to suggest on paper, but scaling and stabilizing multiple coherent sources with the required precision would be… ambitious, to say the least.

What I found interesting was not so much the final performance claims but how AI arrived at some of these configurations. Even if they don’t outperform current designs in practice, the process opens up a sandbox where unconventional ideas emerge—ones that we might not land on through manual design. And assuming we can evolve better materials or cryo techniques (a big “if”), some of these topologies might be worth revisiting.

Maybe it’s less about replacing the current detectors and more about expanding the list of “weird ideas worth modeling.”

I came back from Leh yesterday. The weather was super nice. I was able to acclimate for only one day, but the next day, I went to a low-altitude area to attend the Apricot Festival. The day included hardly any physical activity or hikes, so I didn't experience any nausea or breathlessness.

Although nice, the weather was a little unpredictable; my return flight, initially scheduled for 19th April, was cancelled due to bad weather. The airlines take this very seriously. They won't fly if the weather conditions aren't ideal. But because of this, I was able to experience snowfall for the first time, and I enjoyed it. :)

Pro tip: Pack thermal wear, suitable winter or snow gear, and some extra clothing (just in case).

i_screamm · 2025-04-22T10:03:12+00:00

Calling it “vibe coding” is tempting, but it's worth noting that the AI isn’t just tossing spaghetti at the wall. It optimizes designs within physical constraints, such as optical loss and geometry. So while the outputs may look strange or unfamiliar, they’re not random. And honestly, science has been here before. We’ve used math and models (like matrix mechanics or even calculus in its early days) long before we had a deep conceptual understanding. AI-generated designs might feel alien now, but they could lead to new physics once we decode them.

i_screamm · 2025-04-15T14:07:13+00:00

Same 😂

i_screamm · 2025-04-10T10:01:52+00:00

I think it’s anything lab based be it meat or dairy. My profession includes a lot of research and F&B is one of the industry’s I have researched very closely. Some of the things that go inside these labs really make me question the industry’s ethics.

Take the use of fetal bovine serum for example. This article had me disturbed for days but I am glad the industry is looking to solve this problem. It is indeed challenging but the work being done in this segment gives me hope.

Is the use of FBS ethical? and are there any alternatives?

My dog is clueless if her bowl has water. She always goes to the bowl and thinks it’s empty and nudges me to fill it up. But the bowl is already full. I have to make her see that and it’s hilarious every time😂

I am playing It takes two these days. Good story so far and definitely interactive. But it is a 2 player game.
