Six STEM Tweets
Six tweets that celebrate engineering and all things STEM.
I scroll so you don’t have to.
#1 🤯

I have worked on technologies to make buildings “smart” - I much rather prefer this type of a smart building.
#2 🤯
neural networks are funny because they’re really just 17th century math (leibniz), but run on modern silicon with all the engineering tricks we know

Beautiful rendition of their most impactful work! 🤩 👏

Learnt today that you can type any nonsense into Google followed by "meaning", and AI will assume you're searching a well-known human phrase and frantically come up with what it thinks it could mean.

Today’s chatbots are so eager to please, they will hallucinate before admitting that the question doesn’t make sense.
Like all powerful technologies, use LLMs and chatbots responsibly.
#5 🤯
On Apr 26, 1986 – The Chernobyl disaster occurs at the No. 4 reactor in the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant, near the city of Pripyat in the north of the Ukrainian SSR.

I can hold this pose for Planck’s constant number of seconds.
Planck’s constant is 6.62607015×10−34
About
This newsletter is my way of sharing interesting science-related news with my curious friends. I enjoy finding science and math connections in our world.
Please share this newsletter with others. Let’s encourage curiosity.
This is issue #70. Here’s some new ways to think about 70:
Languages with vigesimal (base 20) number systems, do not have a specific word for 70: for example, French: soixante-dix, lit. 'sixty-ten'; Danish: halvfjerds, short for halvfjerdsindstyve, 'three and a half score'.
The sum of the first 24 squares starting from 1 is 702 = 4900, i.e. a square pyramidal number (a natural number that counts the stacked spheres in a pyramid with a square base)
70 is a palindromic number in bases 9 (779), 13 (5513) and 34 (2234)
It is also a Harshad number in bases 6, 8, 9, 10, 11, 13, 14, 15 and 16.
Ytterbium, a chemical element with symbol Yb has the atomic number 70
That’s it for this issue.
