Erwin Schrödinger was born #OTD in 1887.

He was a Nobel Prize-winning who developed fundamental results in quantum theory. In particular, he is recognized for postulating the Schrödinger equation, an equation that provides a way to calculate the wave function of a system and how it changes dynamically in time.

He wrote many works on various aspects of physics, philosophy and theoretical biology and philosophical aspects of science. via @wikipedia

Seen elsewhere:

"If I flip a coin 100 times and it lands heads every time, what will it most likely land on the next flip?"

"Tech experts are starting to doubt that ChatGPT and A.I. ‘hallucinations’ will ever go away: ‘This isn’t fixable’"

whoa no shit sherlock it's a statistical model that composes answers that are statistically probable, not factual. it's almost like all it does is put a bunch of words that look like an answer next to each other and has zero grasp of what a fact even is conceptually

I wrote ⬆️ in the middle of the #COVID19 pandemic.

It was *infuriating* to see the number of tech bros who built half-arsed systems to handle confidential medical data.

Every single one of them thought that speed was more useful than safety - and every single thing they produced was a privacy nightmare.

Sometimes it is important to go swiftly and fix mistakes later. But it is more often the case that taking the time to do things the right way produces better long-term results.
