People like to hate on @matplotlib but it was used by @ehtelescope to generate the first image of a black hole so maybe it’s ok

one time in college a professor spent 90 minutes talking about an example scenario that involved beef and i thought nothing of it until several weeks later when i found out that my classmate had made a minute long compilation of all 125 times he said "beef" in one lecture

arxiv needs a youtube-style comments section so I can write stuff like "0% autotune 0% clickbait 100% science" and "like if you're still reading this in 2022 😎" under all my friends' papers

How come there’s no reality TV show starring multiple programmers that get dropped into an unknown repo and have to fix a bug, the fastest one wins.

I’d watch that.

Sometimes I try to imagine a world where scientific young minds enjoyed greater rewards for revolutionizing, like, farming methods, manufacturing, or energy, rather than the dark patterns used to optimize ad-clicks at Google and Facebook.

How did we get here?

@AarzooAly Because they forget that they actually have to implement the ideas after reading the book and get disillusioned.

Foundation by Isaac Asimov

👍🏼 The concept of Psycho-history is a believable leap from today's Game Theory, Statistical analysis, etc.

👍🏼 I also like how there's no single hero, but only major & minor characters in a story arch.

👎🏼 Kind of underwhelming? 🙈

Rating: 3/5

[Charudatta Manwatkar @Charudatta_M]

The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins

👍🏼Fast paced
👍🏼Weirdly self aware plot

👎🏼Tries too hard to show that its female protagonist is 'not like other girls'.

Rating: 3/5

Some great examples showing how bad humans are at probabilistic thinking and why we need math in life.
