New Realtime Techpocalypse article! How much wealth does Musk have? He earned $203B in 2024. If the height of Mount Everest represents this quantity, how tall would $50k stand in comparison? The answer is that $50k would amount to the size of a single flea. THAT'S IT! Short 🧵

from the memories from Rio, when with @leanderk.bsky.social and @paolomorettin.bsky.social we were on the beach wondering if to use the Best Student Paper Runner-up Award as a surfing board.

a huge thanks to @rmassidda.it who not only flawlessly managed to update the #UAI2025 website, but also wrote an amazing pipeline (with docker!) from scratch to do so.

All future publicity chairs will own Riccardo!

I love the #eurips initiative! But to live up to its potential, it should be accepted an official #neurips conference location (similar to Mexico City) and not just an addon! Then we would save C02, rather than adding to it!!! What can we do to achieve this?

EurIPS Conference @euripsconf.bsky.social · Jul 16

EurIPS is coming! 📣 Mark your calendar for Dec. 2-7, 2025 in Copenhagen 📅

EurIPS is a community-organized conference where you can present accepted NeurIPS 2025 papers, endorsed by @neuripsconf.bsky.social and @nordicair.bsky.social and is co-developed by @ellis.eu
