    Oxford Shuts Down Elon Musk-Funded Institute Led by Controversial Philosopher Nick Bostrom: 'Death by Bureaucracy'
    "
    "The closure is a setback for the effective altruism and longtermism movements, which Bostrom has advocated for decades, but have recently faced scandals related to racism, sexual, and financial fraud."

  3. results of the consultation on the local reorganisation proposal for #Oxford shire: Just over 50% against each of the proposals, just over 30% in favour. So I guess people who took part would like to keep the existing arrangement, which wasn't one of the options ... assets.publishing.service.gov.

  4. #Oxford #CafeScientifique happening #today:

  14. Wir sehen den radikalen Antidemokraten Peter #Thiel am exkklusiven Tisch, behind closed doors, mit #Professoren der #Universität #Innsbruck, #Oxford und dann zu Besuch in Orbans #Budapest. Danach sehen wir den ähnlich schlimmen Curtis #Yarvin im exklusiven Hotel Schloss #Elmau, wo einst die G-7 tagte. Es ist offenbar bei einigen Professoren und Reichen jetzt modisch, sich mit #Antidemokraten geheim zu treffen und sich am Duft der antidemokratischen #Radikaltät zu erfreuen. (1 von 3)

  15. #Oxford #Marston #housing #news

    new homes being built near the #A40 #RingRoad - wondering if they're going to do anything about the #noise? Or is that the reason why they are now all going to be (relatively) #AffordableHomes - because the wealthier clients wouldn't buy so close to a motorway?

  16. We have received many high-quality submissions for the Invariants’ writing contest, not only from Oxford but from Imperial College and Cambridge as well. Thank you to all participants!

    We will be accepting submissions until this Sunday (February 18th), this is your chance to be published in the Invariant, Oxford’s mathematical magazine, and to win up to £300 in prizes.

    For full guidelines and rules, please see our website: invariants.org.uk/magazine/. For any further questions, email [email protected].

    Looking forward to reading you.

    "According to ...Kitcher,... much of contemporary #analyticPhilosophy ...offers ... nothing useful. [...] He wants #philosophy to change [...] But most of his recommendations would make philosophy worse: more anxious to imitate the neighbours and impress the general public...."

  18. We are very excited to announce tomorrow's talk by James Maynard, #fields medal winner! In L1 on the 28th at 8 PM. Join us afterwards for free snacks and biscuits! #invariants #maths #oxford

  19. Join us on Wednesday, 8th Feb 8pm in L1 at the #MathematicalInstitute in #oxford for a talk by Prof. Ben Green on Some Open Problems. #invariants invariants.org.uk/2023/02/some

    Title: Some open problems
    Abstract: I will discuss a variety of open problems of a type which, I hope, will be accessible to all. I will focus on problems which are not quite the most famous ones, and I will try and explain why I think they are interesting.
    See you on Wednesday at the Mathematical Institute L1.

  20. Instead of an #introduction, let's just start with some hard #maths straight from #Oxford. Here's one from our #puzzle archives. Feel free to discuss in the comments, but make sure to hide your #spoilers!!!

    From our 2022 Summer Puzzle Challenge,

    Let 𝑓(𝑘) be the largest prime factor of positive integer 𝑘. Suppose a sequence (𝑎ₙ) satisfies

    𝑎₁ = 2, 𝑎ₙ₊₁ = 𝑎ₙ + 𝑓(𝑎ₙ).

    Find the largest value of 𝑛 such that 𝑎ₙ < 10⁴.

    All the best from the #invariants :))

  21. Here’s my (required?) #introduction - I’m Tim, a #scientist living in #Austria working at the @istaustria near Vienna. I work on #neural_network_dynamics #plasticity #neurotheory. PhD w Larry Abbott at #brandeis and #columbia, postdoc w Wulfram Gerstner at #EPFL, 1st lab at #Oxford for 7 years before moving in 2020. Married to Ms Moon, w/ 3 daughters (a cat). I’ve been 20 years German, 1.5 Greek, 10 American, 4 Suisse, 7 British & 2 Austrian, sorta in that order. I #row #Am_I_doing_it_right?
